Patent number: 8348562Abstract: A low elevational profile of each of a pair of first and second wheel chocks for restraining a current “low-drag” motor vehicle in a carrier, such as a railway car, is derived from each wheel chock having an internally webbed, elongated stepped-box body terminated with a relatively short rectangular box having its inner wall integrally formed with the stepped-box body. The body of the first chock is essentially a mirror-image of the second chock body. The low profile of a wheel chock allows each to be positioned under a vehicle the rocker panel of which has its lower edge only 148 mm (5.82 inches) above the surface upon which the vehicle's tire rests, so that the installed chock height is reduced to 47.6 mm (1.87?) under the components of the vehicle's body. The assembly may include a pair of “active” chocks; or, one active chock and one anchor chock.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2010Date of Patent: January 8, 2013Assignee: Standard Car Truck CompanyInventor: Robert Lee Bullock

Patent number: 8308409Abstract: A transverse railroad coil car coil restraint apparatus or system which includes a plurality of coil restraints attachable to each trough in a transverse railroad coil car to reduce the sideways shifting of coils positioned in the troughs. In certain embodiments, the coil restraints are attached in each trough and extend across the transverse coil car. In other embodiments, the coil restraints are attached in each trough along the length of the trough. In certain embodiments, when a coil is positioned in the trough, the coil compresses certain of the coil restraints and does not compress other of the coil restraints which prevents the sideways shifting of the coil during movement of the transverse coil car. In other embodiments, when a coil is positioned in the trough, the coil compresses certain of the compression members and does not compress other of the compression members which prevents the sideways shifting of the coil during movement of the transverse coil car.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2011Date of Patent: November 13, 2012Assignee: Standard Car Truck CompanyInventor: John D.

Patent number: 8205560Abstract: A low profile mounting assembly for use between a rail car side frame pedestal and the rail car roller bearing includes a shear pad and a bearing adapter. In one embodiment, the shear pad has relatively thin plates joined by an elastomeric layer. In another embodiment, the shear pad includes a projection extending downwardly from a plate to be received and retained by a recess defined in a top surface of the adapter. In another embodiment, a central cavity formed in a lower plate of the shear pad cooperates with the adapter top surface to distribute forces on the roller bearing. In another embodiment, an elastomeric projection of a shear pad plate bears against ridges on the adapter top surface to prevent disengagement.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2010Date of Patent: June 26, 2012Assignee: Standard Car Truck CompanyInventors: David M. East, Giuseppe Sammartino, Ronald D. Golembiewski

Patent number: 8083447Abstract: A chock strap retainer configured to be inserted in the reeling shaft or torque tube of a wheel chock to secure the chock strap to the reeling shaft or torque tube. When the chock strap is draped over the tire and tension is applied to the chock strap, the chock strap retainer provides that the chock strap remains securely affixed inside the torque tube. The chock strap retainer ensures that different sized and/or a different dimensioned chock straps remain securely affixed inside the torque tube of the wheel chock when the vehicle chock is employed.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2009Date of Patent: December 27, 2011Assignee: Standard Car Truck CompanyInventors: John D.
