Abstract
A disk brake for a railway vehicle is provided with a resilient pivot mount for a cross member upon the ends of which are pivotally mounted the brake levers having brake shoes which are engageable with a brake disk on either the wheel or axle of the railway vehicle. The cross piece has a bushing which is supported between two trunion bearings by a bolt passing therethrough. A pair of tapering compressible rubber sleeves are inserted into each end of the bushing to surround the bolt and the outer ends of the rubber sleeves are engaged by flanges on the ends of metal sleeves which are axially displaceable upon the bolt within the trunion bearings. The inner ends of the rubber sleeves are spaced from each other so that tightening of the bolt will press the ends of the sleeves together.
