Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0267530A2] The largely automatic adjustment of the brake rods of brake devices, especially shoe brakes for rail vehicles, is generally achieved by means of single-acting or double-acting brake slack adjusters at the beginning of the corresponding brake gear chain. With longer brake gear chains, re-adjustment can no longer be compensated for by the brake slack adjuster alone and the positions of the brake levers at the end of the chain may become so incorrect that adequate functioning of the brake device is no longer guaranteed. So that additional manual adjustment of the brake gear can be largely dispensed with and the efficiency of the brake device improved, on a brake device of this type at least one additional brake slack adjuster is fitted in series in the brake gear chain after a double-acting brake slack adjuster. The necessary adjustment travel for the respectively preceeding brake slack adjuster is determined by the sum of the necessary degrees of play in the associated friction pairings to be acted upon and the required adjustment travel to be established comparably in any succeeding brake slack adjuster. <IMAGE>
