ABSTRACT:
A friction pad assembly for rail vehicle brakes comprises a pad of friction material carried by a rigid backing plate, and the backing plate is detachably mounted on a shoe. A keeper is provided which includes a clamping member pivotally mounted on one end of the shoe. The clamping member has a clamp face which acts on one end of the backing plate to urge the backing plate into engagement with the shoe. The clamping member is urged into an operative clamping position by a wedge which is releasably driven between the clamping member and a relatively stationary surface in a block which is either integral with, or releasably attached to, the shoe.
