DE319509C - Automatic coupling for railway vehicles - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to a coupling for railway vehicles, which in the event of a collision, the car automatically couples and can be uncoupled from the side of the car. A special Another advantage is that the coupling is designed so that it can with the Coupling hooks of the arrangements now in place can be brought together so ίο that an introduction can take place gradually without any shutdown.

The subject of the invention is illustrated and shown in the accompanying drawing

Fig. 2 the same in plan view,

Fig. 3 is a side view in which both cars with the coupling elements according to the present invention are equipped,

Fig. 5, 6 and 7 the coupling hook in different positions.

The coupling member 2 can be pivoted open by bolts 3 on the pull rod 1 of the carriage appropriate. On the protruding arm 4 of the coupling member 2, the coupling bracket 5 is suspended swinging around the bolt 6, its front arm 7 as a towing eye for the hook 16 of the opposite carriage serves, while the downwardly inclined arm 8 carries the coupling spindle 9. the Coupling spindle is of a known type and is used to couple two carriages together, from which one is provided with the coupling according to the arrangement now in place.

To enable the coupling elements to be tensioned by turning the spindle, the handle 10 is arranged to be movable or displaceable. At the front Extended drawbar I is a shoe 11 for receiving the around the pin 13 lying spring 12, whereby a resilient up and down movement of the coupling element 2 and special fluctuations in the vertical direction are eliminated and also a better compensation for strong unequal height of the car achieved and an interlocking of the coupling members is guaranteed.

The coupling of two cars is now done in such a way that when the collision occurs, the Dare the pendularly suspended coupling element 5 by pressure of the tentacle arm 14 of the Coupling element 2 of the opposite carriage on the bow 7 inclined to the front is swung down around the bolt 6 and the bracket at the same time on the Tail end 15 of the coupling hook 16 presses and this swinging around the bolt 17 in the coupling position and in engagement with the Drawbar eye 7 brings. In this coupling position, the hook is now held by the coupling ball 18, which is in the loop 19 of the hook shaft is located. In 6g the coupling position of the hook puts the ball 18 against the block or locking cam 20 and against the lug 21 and the rotary release slide 22. The lug 21 is seated here firmly on the bolt 17, which is also firmly seated in the coupling member 2, wherein the trigger rotary slide 22 is circular

Has arm 33 which protrudes into loop 19 and grasps under ball 18. The loop movement is expediently half in the hook shaft, while the other Half is formed by an attached cover 24.

If the car is to be uncoupled, the slide 22 is turned around so that! the arm 23 releases the ball 18, causing the hook to swing down and the ball assumes the position shown in FIG. The clutch is here as a double clutch educated; In Fig. 3 and 4, for the sake of clarity, a coupling member is removed,

Claims (4)

Patent Claims: ι. Automatic coupling for railway vehicles with ready-to-use use a transition screw coupling, characterized in that upon collision two carriages through the tentacle arm (14) of the tension member (2) of the bracket (7) j of the coupling element (5) suspended in a pendulous manner on the tension member (2) around the bolt (6) is swung downwards and at the same time on the tail end (15) of the coupling hook (16) presses, whereby this, rotated around the bolt (17), in the coupling position and at the same time in engagement is brought with the coupling member or bracket (7), the coupling hook (16) in the coupling position by the coupling ball (18), which is in the loop (19) of the hook shaft rolls and against the block or locking cam (20) that fixed lug (21) and the arm (23) of the release slide (22) is held, and the uncoupling takes place in that by rotating the release slide (22) the Ball becomes free, rolls back and at the same time the hook swings down. 2. Automatic coupling for railway vehicles mft ready-to-use use of a transition screw coupling according to claim x, characterized in that on the forwardly extended tie rod (1) a shoe (11) for receiving the under. pivotable attached tension members (2) lying spring (12) is provided, this spring serving as a cushion to absorb the vertical fluctuations and to better compensate for wagons in a highly unequal height position. 3. Automatic coupling for railway vehicles with ready-to-use use an adapter screw coupling according to claims 1 and 2, further characterized in that that on your downward protruding arm (8) of the pendulum coupling member (5) the coupling spindle (9) is suspended, for the purpose of trolley with the old existing one To be able to couple the coupling with the present arrangement and thus achieve a transition compensation. 4. Automatic coupling for railway vehicles with ready-to-use transition screw coupling according to claim 1 to '3, characterized in that after uncoupling the coupling hook, as long as the cars are together, does not fall back completely and g ₀ as a result, the coupling ball (18) because of the insufficient slope can not roll back to its lowest position in order ■ to couple in the event of a further impact and therefore the coupling links behave in a non-couplable position without any special device and handling if the car is to be pushed off by the impact force of the locomotive when maneuvering.
