ABSTRACT:
A truss-type brake beam has end members with pockets for receiving the abutting end portions of the compression channel and tension bar members with the pocket rear wall abutting the rear surface of the compression member web and the front wall abutting the front surface of the tension member, the end portion of which is bent so as to extend parallel and in abutting relation with the front surface of the compression member web and which extends slightly beyond the end of the compression member, the protruding surfaces of the tension member being joined by a fillet weld to the end surfaces of the compression member web and flanges such that the fillet weld forms an abutment on the tension member engaging the entire end surface of the compression member whereby the tension member is maintained in tension. The end member rear and front walls are formed with windows, the peripheries of which are fillet-welded to the exposed surfaces of the compression and tension members.
