ABSTRACT:
A link is provided at one end with a first opening for receiving a member supported by a railway car body, and at the opposite end with a second opening. Extending through the second opening is a clevis that has parallel free ends provided with aligned openings for connecting it to the upper end of a brake beam lever. The shape of the second opening and the portion of the clevis in it is such that the clevis is restrained by the link from swinging relative to the link in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the clevis opening. The supporting member for the opposite end of the link has a hook extending through the first opening. The link may be made short enough to be located substantially horizontally between the dead lever and the adjacent axle.
