MULTIPLE TRUCK FREIGHT CAR HANDBRAKE ARRANGEMENT FOR A RAILWAY CAR ASSEMBLY COMPOSED OF A SERIES OF ARTICULATELY INTERCONNECTED CARS (CASE CWU/15825 Abstract of the Disclosure A handbrake arrangement for railroad freight cars is disclosed that will connect a mechanical hand- brake operating mechanism to the brake equipment (brake beams and brake shoes) on 2, 3, or more trucks on the same freight car. It is especially useful on articu- lated freight cars consisting of multiple units in order to satisfy handbrake power requirements required by industry and Federal regulations, but a similar arrangement may be used on special purpose cars having a multiplicity of trucks. On an articulated car, consisting of a number of units, there is a multiplicity of trucks and because of the size and weight characteris- tics of the car, it is desirable to connect the hand- brake mechanism to a number of the trucks in order to provide adequate handbrake power. A relatively simple mechanical handbrake mechanism for providing adequate braking power to a series of lightweight short articu- lated interconnected cars (of the kind disclosed in Adams et al (U.S. Patent No. 4,233,909 issued November 18, 1980) consists of a series of rods, levers, and slack adjusters interconnecting two or more trucks to the handbrake operating mechanism.
