Inventor(s) include Kewal Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to the field of electric locomotives. More particularly, the invention is devised to solve problems associated with components of brakes and suspensions of WAG9 electric locomotives, particularly, to substantially reduce stress and resultant wear and tear on components like bogie bracket, suspension pin, brake hanger, brake rod, and traction motor mounting plate. The invention provides better designed components for the bogie (804) of electric locomotives which is subject to excessive shock stress during use on curves and elevated tracks at high speeds. The invention provides improved brake hanger (400), brake rod (500), brake pivot assembly (600) and mounting plate (601) for traction motor. These together help improving substantially, the life of the said components and the bogie (804) with use of the locomotive at higher speeds. The invention also solves the problem of chances of derailment of the locomotives due to flaws in the said components in the prior art."
