Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0268196A2] On a safety device for an automatic brake slack adjuster (5), in the event of malfunctions by the latter within a brake gear chain on rail vehicles, a retaining device (1) is positioned between the associated frame-supported control stop (13) of the brake slack adjuster (5) and the frame (12). This retaining device (1) fixes the control stop (13) until a predefined force level is reached. Once the force level is exceeded the retaining device (1) allows the control stop (3) to shift, a signal transmitter (16, 17) connected to the control stop (13) relaying this change in the starting position to a display unit (18). <IMAGE>
