Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0637535A1] The invention relates to a rail brake system for marshalling yards, having at least one group of brake elements (5) which are attached one behind the other to the rail web and can be moved out of an inactive home position into an active braking position using an electric control, at least one control line which is common to all the brake elements (5) and to which actuator elements (9) which are assigned to the brake elements (5) are connected being provided. The electric connection power of such a rail brake system is substantially reduced by providing a locking line (V) and an unlocking line (E), by assigning to each actuator element (9) a locking switch (II) which is actuated thereby and arranged in the locking line (V), and an unlocking switch (I) which is actuated thereby and arranged in the unlocking line (E), and by connecting the actuator elements (9) electrically into the circuit which leads from the switches to a return line (R) in such a way that the actuator elements (9) are actuated successively in a cascade-like manner. Alternatively, the invention provides for the actuator elements (9) to engage on associated locking elements (8) which can be moved between a position of rest in which they are disengaged from the brake elements (5), and a locking position in which they hold the brake elements (5) in the inactive home position.
