  • Hybrid support bracket for railcar air brake hose
    Patent number: 7267306
    Abstract: A hybrid support bracket for supporting a flexible end hose of a railcar air brake hose assembly is described. The bracket has a free end of a predetermined length and a train line support unit is displaceable along the displaceable free end. The train line support union has a connector which connects an end of the flexible end hose to the brake hose assembly. The hybrid bracket is secured to the yoke of a coupler and is displaceable therewith. The displaceable free end and train line support union permit relative displacement between the hybrid bracket and the hose support to compensate for the slack of the coupler due to wear.
