摘要:
A retracting rail clamp for braking or anchoring a rail-mounted machine such as a crane by clamping opposite sides of a longitudinal rail member, the retracting rail clamp comprising: a load transfer frame rigidly secured to the crane, such as by bolting; and a clamp mechanism suspended within the load transfer frame by at least one lateral pair of pivotally mounted lift levers, and operable through a first and second stage of motion between a raised, brake release position, in which the entirety of the rail clamp is disposed substantially vertically clear of the rail, and a lowered, brake set position wherein at least one opposed facing pair of main levers of the clamp mechanism engage the side surfaces of the rail.

A lift includes a mast and a brake module. The mast is for disposing on a working surface and has at least one track. The brake module is connected to a lift module mounted on the mast and includes at least one friction member and at least one forcing member. The friction member has a pressing portion and an axle oppositely arranged. The pressing portion is substantially shaped to engage the track. The forcing member is rotatably disposed on the axle for pivoting axially between a first position and a second position. At the first position, the pressing portion can be moved along the track and stopped by the lift module. At the second position, the forcing member displaces the friction member to force the pressing portion tightly against the track. Thus, the brake module is held in position relative to the mast.

The rail clamp includes a carriage having an actuator frame mounted to its base so as to extend upwardly from the base. Springs are mounted in the actuator frame at the upper end of the carriage. An actuator is mounted between the base and the springs. A wheel is mounted on a wheel support. The wheel engages the rail. At least one suspension frame is pivotally mounted to the carriage and at an opposite end, to the wheel support. The actuator operates on the suspension frame so as to elevate the carriage. A pair of clamping levers is pivotally mounted to the base of the carriage. Brake shoes mount on the lower-most ends of the levers. The levers are pivotable so as to clamp their lower-most ends together when their upper ends are moved apart.

An elevator installation has an elevator car that moves in a vertical direction along guide tracks and is braked or held at standstill by a braking equipment. The braking equipment includes at least two brake units, at least one of the brake units, but preferably each of the brake units, is provided with a wear-compensating device which, when the brake unit is opened or released, sets a clearance distance between a brake lining and an associated brake surface, which clearance arises on opening of the brake unit, in correspondence with a substantially constant value. Thereby, use may be made of customary and thus economic brake materials which may wear during braking.

This invention is a cam operated rail clamping device for preventing movement of a structure on a rail comprising a base, a vertically disposed post secured to and projecting upwardly from the base, a tube rotatably and slidably mounted on the post, an air (or hydraulically) operated lift cylinder for raising the tube, a vertically disposed beam extending upwardly from the base and secured thereto, a horizontally disposed flange secured to the lower end of the tube, a clamping jaw carried by the flange and provided with a high point and a plurality of teeth for engagement with a first side of a rail, the flange being mounted for rotation about the post to bring the high point of the jaw into wedging action with the first side of the rail when the flange engages a top portion of the rail, a wearing shoe carried by the base for engagement with a second side of the rail, and a microswitch for indicating the position of the clamping jaw.

Brake equipment for an underground mining machine, which in use traverses to and fro adjacent to a stationary rail extending along a longwall face and which includes a hydraulic haulage drive motor for hauling the machine along the longwall face, is activated to engage the stationary rail if other than a normal haulage condition of the drive motor is sensed, a control for the drive motor being moved into a neutral, machine non-traversing mode when the brake is applied.

For mechanism for releasably locking or braking an elongate element and associated structure comprises mechanism including a member adapted to be mounted on the associated structure and providing clutching surface means engageable with one side of the elongate element. A locking lever has one end pivotally mounted on the member and has intermediate its ends a gripping clamping clutch area thrustable into locking, gripping, clamping engagement toward the clutching surface means for thereby locking the element and the associated structure against relative movement. For rocking the lever in its locking mode a force multiplication device comprises a roller driven as by means of an actuator plunger into force multiplying engagement between a fixed shoulder and a roller on a free end portion of the lever.

An emergency brake mechanism is provided, particularly for small railway cars such as those used for monorail systems, for braking a car released by failure of the motor and main braking system. The brake mechanism includes a brake shoe with tapered surfaces extending in opposite directions longitudinally of the path of movement of the car for wedging a brake pad between the shoe and the rail surface. The brake pad is pushed into engagement by a movable tappet, which in turn is released to move toward the rail surface by a centrifugal governor monitoring the speed of the car. The brake housing mounts the brake shoe on one side of the rail with a counter-brake surface on the opposite side.
