| 20110107558 | HOSE SUPPORT STRAP FOR RAILWAY CAR BRAKE LINE - A hose strap for a railway car brake line having a flexible strap having a plurality of through holes and two clips attached to the strap. Each clip has a first leg and a second leg, which are offset from each other and curled at the ends. As a result of these innovations, the hose strap according to the invention has an improved reaction force, load support and lifespan. | 05-12-2011 |
| 20110068077 | KNUCKLE FOR A RAILWAY CAR COUPLER - A knuckle for a railway coupler system is made without internal voids or cores. Instead, external pockets are formed on the front face and tail portion surface to reduce weight. The knuckle is formed by investment casting, which permits a pulling face to be provided without a draft angle or parting line typical of a cast part. As a result of these innovations, the knuckle according to the invention has an improved fatigue life. | 03-24-2011 |
| 20110024379 | YOKE FOR A RAILWAY DRAFT GEAR AND METHOD OF MAKING - Yokes utilized in railway coupling apparatus are designed according to the invention to have improved stress profiles and increased service life. Investment casting techniques used to make the yokes and other components of the coupling apparatus yield improved surface finishes and tighter dimensional tolerances of the parts without requiring hammering, coating or other post-casting treatment. | 02-03-2011 |
| 20100237569 | GLAD HAND FITTING AND GASKET FOR RAILROAD CAR END HOSE - A glad hand with an improved gasket for use in the coupling of end hoses in railroad cars. The gasket provides an increased surface area for a wider sealing surface and increased sealing properties for coupling with another gasket on a glad hand. | 09-23-2010 |
| 20090166479 | COUPLER MOUNTED BRACKET AND TRAINLINE SUPPORT CASTING - A trainline support casting is provided to support flexible brake hoses between adjacent rail cars. The trainline support casting is capable of partial rotational movement during use and is supported on a mounting bracket adapted to mount directly to a coupler head of a cushioned car coupler, insuring a constant distance from the end of the coupler to the trainline support casting and a constant distance of the brake hoses above the ground according to AAR standards. | 07-02-2009 |
| 20080197096 | YOKE FOR A RAILWAY DRAFT GEAR AND METHOD OF MAKING - Yokes utilized in railway coupling apparatus are designed according to the invention to have improved stress profiles and increased service life. Investment casting techniques used to make the yokes and other components of the coupling apparatus yield improved surface finishes and tighter dimensional tolerances of the parts without requiring hammering, coating or other post-casting treatment. | 08-21-2008 |
