ABSTRACT:
A disc brake construction, especially for rail vehicles, in which a bogie having at least one axle rotatable therein is provided with brake discs on the inner sides of the wheels on the axle. The disc brake construction embodies a brake shoe adjacent each disc, each of which is pivotally supported on a lever pivotally supported on the bogie. Brake actuating mechanism extending transversely of the bogie is operatively connected to and supported by the levers for actuating the levers to cause the shoes to engage the respective discs. A mechanical device can also be operatively connected to the levers for mechanically actuating the brakes. The entire brake structure, other than the discs on the respective wheels, is supported by the bogie on which the wheel axle, or axles, rotates.
