ABSTRACT:
An improved freight brake emergency valve device having improved stability against undesired emergency brake applications, without loss of emergency sensitivity. Flow regulator in the form of a valve and choke combination or a choke itself is employed between the quick action chamber and the chamber normally subject to quick action chamber pressure on the side of the emergency piston opposite brake pipe pressure. This has the effect of momentarily reducing the volume of quick action chamber pressure in order to achieve an intensified pressure reduction in response to initial deflection of the piston member sufficient to counteract a momentary, spurious brake pipe pressure fluctuation.
