ABSTRACT:
A slack adjuster for railway brakes has an input member to which a brake force is applied and an output member movable coaxially therewith, a coupling element via which a brake force is transmissible between the two members and which is positively engaged with one of the members via a cooperating helical engagement means and is engageable with the other member via clutching faces which are retained in force transmitting engagement by the reaction forces produced by the helical engagement means when a force is transmitted between the members for a brake application, the clutching faces being disengageable when such reaction forces are removed to permit relative rotation of the members and enable wear or slack in the brake rigging to be taken up.
