Abstract

A carrier plate assembly for use in a slackless drawbar assembly to connect together, in a substantially semi-permanent fashion, adjacently disposed ends of a pair of railway freight cars. The carrier plate assembly includes a carrier plate member having a top surface and a bottom surface. A crushable support member has a bottom surface thereof engageable with at least a portion of the top surface of such carrier plate member.
There is an aperture formed through the crushable support member and an anchoring mechanism is engageable with the carrier plate member and extends through such aperture formed in the crushable support member for securing a locking wedge member to the carrier plate in such slackless drawbar assembly. The anchoring means including at least a threaded portion for at least one of receiving a nut thereon and for threadedly engaging a threaded aperture formed in the locking wedge member to enable tightening of such locking wedge member to the carrier plate.
