Abstract
A brake shoe mounting system for railway vehicles includes a composition type brake shoe having a recessed center portion and two bracket-style backing plates integrally molded into the composition type brake shoe. There is one bracket style backing plate per each half of the brake shoe. Each bracket style backing plate further includes at least two projections extending outwardly from the convex surface of the composition brake shoe. The two projections extending outwardly are closely adjacent a first end of the brake shoe and at least one projection extends outwardly from the convex surface of the brake shoe closely adjacent the recessed center portion of the composition type brake shoe. The mounting system further includes a brakehead having a concave surface with a central projection for engaging the recessed center portion of the convex surface of the brake shoe. The brakehead includes a first recessed area closely adjacent a first end of the brakehead for receiving projections extending outwardly from the backing plate and a second recessed area closely adjacent the central projection for receiving the one projection extending outwardly from the backing plate. The mounting system also includes a device for securing the backing plate and brake shoe to the brakehead.
