Abstract
An overload protection device for a truck-mounted railcar brake assembly, comprising a body member having a first end, a second end and at least one cavity of a predetermined size and shape disposed within the body member. A compression member of a predetermined size, shape, material and load rating is compressed to a predetermined initial load and disposed within the cavity of the body member. A first means is secured to and disposed on the first end of the body member for engagement with a portion of a brake assembly. A second means is disposed on the second end of the body member for attaching to a force-transmitting member. A first portion of the second means is engageable with the compression member for transmitting an excess force generated from such railcar brake assembly to the compression member, whereby the overload protection device will compensate for a potential railcar brake overload condition.
