Abstract: A braking device for a railroad vehicle including traction bars is arranged to apply a braking pad on a braking surface affixed to a wheel of the vehicle. The braking device includes a reaction member, at least one lever arranged to cooperate with the reaction member, connecting devices between the traction bars means and the lever, the braking pad being borne by the lever to be applied on the braking surface by pivoting the lever under the action of the traction bars and of the reaction member.

Abstract: The invention relates a braking device for a railroad vehicle including traction structure (1, 2) arranged to apply a braking pad on a braking surface affixed to a wheel of the vehicle. It includes a reaction member (11, 20), at least one lever (6; 6', 6"; 33, 33') arranged to cooperate with the reaction member, connecting structure (23, 41) between the traction structure and the lever, the braking pad being borne by the lever to be applied on the braking surface by pivoting of the lever under the action of the traction structure and of the reaction member.

Abstract: A process for assembling two facing extremities of members of detachable links and the detachable link formed by the process wherein two facing extremities of members are assembled using two half-shells joined by assembly components according to the following steps:forming reliefs either on the inside surface of the half-shells, or on the outside surface of the member extremities with the other surface remaining smooth;mounting the two half-shells on the member extremities;forging reliefs on the initially smooth components by direct stamping onto the components displaying the reliefs;joining the two half-shells by the said assembly components.
