    摘要: A railcar truck side frame has a pedestal jaw arrangement, which inclines the bearing adapter for the axle and bearing assembly with a relative slope in the side-frame longitudinal direction, to provide transfer of the forces causing angular displacement of the axle to stop lugs on the side-frame outer surface and to minimize axle angular displacement and, consequently, truck warping and hunting.

    摘要: A structural device is attached to each sideframe pedestal jaw of a railcar truck wherein the bearing adapter is joined to the sideframe and is prevented from rotating within the pedestal jaw opening. The bearing adapter inboard and outboard faces maintain a parallel relationship with the sideframe inboard and outboard faces during operations, including curving, thereby causing the truck axles to remain at a right angle with respect to the sideframes. Maintaining this right angular relationship substantially curtails truck wheel misalignment, which directly effects truck hunting and curving.

    摘要: A railway car with a slackless drawbar arrangement for unit trainservice and the like is provided and includes a drawbar having a section which is fabricated. The fabricated intermediate section is cut from a section of seamless pipe or tubing or can be fabricated from plate, while the coupling end pieces attached to each end of the shank are cast members made from typical casting methods. The coupling end pieces can be cast into standard fixed or rotatable drawbar ends or even be a combination thereof with rotational capability. The geometric shape of the intermediate section is varied, depending upon the application, so that resistance to torsional or bending loads is maximized. The fabricated shank portion is hollow, as well as part of the body of the coupling end pieces, thereby reducing the railcar's weight and costs to manufacture.

    摘要: A reduced weight fifth wheel generally mountable on a tractor for coupling between a tractor and a trailer, which fifth wheel has the approximately the same bearing surface area, a more continuous surface area by elimination of a lever-bar pin port in the bearing surface, thinner support ribs and smaller fillets, a shorter longitudinal length with a wider kingpin receiving slot for receipt of a trailer kingpin, with a locking-jaw mechanism having a redesigned lever-bar pin and pin-receiving port to enable reduction of the weight and to enhance production casting practices, which fifth wheel further encompasses lateral support ribs at the plate outer perimeter and rearward of the mounting brackets to define support pockets ahead of the engaging ramps to avoid lateral deflection and deformation of the plate at vertical loading.

    摘要: The present invention provides a sideframe for use in a traditional three piece railway freight car truck comprising a pair of laterally spaced sideframes supporting a bolster extending between the sideframes. Each sideframe comprises an elongated top compression member, two diagonal compression members extending generally downwardly at acute angles from near the ends of the top compression member, and a bottom member joining the other ends of the diagonal tension members. Two column members also extend vertically between the bottom member and the top compression member. Such column members are strengthened by two ribs that extend laterally across the structure of the column member between sidewalls of the column member.

    摘要: The sideframe of a railway car truck are constructed such that basic overall sideframe appearance is maintained, but the actual construction results in a more efficient use of the materials as a way of reducing the sideframe weight. This means that material is used according to how the stresses are encountered by the sideframe, dictating that the sideframe midsection is structurally heavier than the sideframe ends. Maximization of this construction is provided by shaping the entire sideframe into a solid, unitary cross-sectional I-beam shape. A solid top flange of the I-beam corresponds to the typical top compression member while the solid bottom flange corresponds to the typical bottom compression member. The solid vertical web, which interconnects the top and bottom flanges is a typical, thereby allowing the web to absorb forces which would normally have to be absorbed by either top or bottom member. This feature allows the sideframe to be lighter, yet structurally stronger because the top and bottom members can now be cast dimensionally smaller. To take advantage of the weight savings even further, the I-beam shape has a structurally tapering thickness from the midsection to the ends and this corresponds to the loading experienced by the sideframe. The open, I-beam exterior allows for easier and more reliable inspection, as well as improved casting quality due to a substantial reduction in casting core usage.
