Definitions

  • the accessories can also be housing parts that are used to house those parts that are necessary to make a detachable, mechanically reliable connection.
  • the accessories can also be moveable covers that in a first position cover certain parts of those parts that are necessary to make a detachable, mechanically reliable connection and in a second position do not cover those parts.
  • the Coupler-head can also have a drive mechanism to move the cover from one position to another.
  • the assembly of parts that forms the coupler-head is arranged at one end of a coupler rod, the other end of the coupler rod being attached to the car.
  • a typical example of a coupler-head is a central buffer coupling (referred to in German as Heidelbergpufferkupplung).
  • the problem to be solved is to suggest means that can reliably prevent the contact of snow and ice or sand or dust on a surface of or in a recess of a coupler-head of a train, wherein the technical design is simple and easy to handle.
  • front window encompasses a rack or frame-like element having at least a base, which can be positioned on top of the coupler-head in the mounted state, and two legs, each leg on a side of the coupler head, the legs can extend from the base.
  • the front window can be attached to the coupler head so that the base and the legs do not necessarily have to be connected to each other.
  • the front window does not need to be a single piece, but provides stable sections circumferentially surrounding the coupler-head.
  • Base on top and legs at the side of the coupler-head can each be formed or suggested as a bracket or bracket-like element. However, the base and legs can form a single piece.
  • the front window can establish an opening for the access to the coupler-head in the form of an opening at least surrounded by three sides, i.e. especially the top and the sides. Additional to the base and the legs a further base for the bottom can be provided.
  • the front window of the device can be oriented such that the front window establishes an opening in front of the coupler-head.
  • the front window having dimensions which are adapted to the dimensions of the coupler-head.
  • the coupler-head may comprise mechanical, or mechanical and electrical coupling elements.
  • the number of mechanical or electrical coupling elements can vary as well as the specific arrangement.
  • An electrical coupling or at least two electrical elements can be positioned on top, at the bottom and/or the sides of a mechanical or at least two mechanical elements.
  • the front window can have a width (substantially the distance or maximum distance between the two legs) in the range of 500 mm to 800 mm, preferably 550 mm to 750 mm, most preferably 550 mm to 650 mm. In a preferred embodiment the width of the front window can be 600 mm.
  • the front window can have a height (substantially the distance or maximum distance between the base on the top and a further base at the bottom) in the range of 500 mm to 800 mm, preferably 550 mm to 750 mm, most preferably 550 mm to 650 mm.
  • the width of the front window can be 630 mm.
  • the front window has a top which is a substantially horizontally aligned line or curve in case the device is mounted on the coupler-head.
  • this line or curve is the base of the front window which can be assumed to be positioned on top of the front window in case being mounted on the coupler-head.
  • Two legs or leg sections can extend at an angle in the range of 80° to 130°, preferred in the range of 105° to 125°, to both sides of the base. These two leg sections which can be directly connected to the base can form together with the base three sides of the trapezoidal section.
  • each of the legs can comprise a further section spaced apart from the base which substantially extends at an angle of 90° to the base, i.e. substantially vertical in case the device is mounted on the coupler-head.
  • the two legs are arranged substantially symmetrically to the base. Further elements for stabilizing the front window can be provided in the plane of the front window.
  • a device having such an inclination of the top cover section realizes the advantages of the invention as well. Further, the embodiment having the inclination of the top cover section can be combined with at least one of the afore-mentioned embodiments comprising the front face cover and the seal. Therefore, the explanations with regard to the first embodiment having the front face cover and/or with regard to the second embodiment having the seal hold as well for the device comprising a top cover section having an inclination.
  • the seal at the front window has a varying thickness, so that the thickness and/or arrangement of the seal takes into account coupler droop when uncoupled.
  • the seal can have a bigger thickness/projection in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the coupler shaft in the area of the base (top) of the front window than at the opposite end of the legs (at the side spaced apart from the base).
  • the seal can have a smaller thickness/projection in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the coupler shaft in the area of the base (top) of the front window than at the opposite end of the legs (at the side spaced apart from the base).
  • cover sections can be made of a single piece or separate pieces which can be interconnected to each other by any suitable means, especially by sewing or glueing cover sections together. It also possible that the cover sections surround the circumference of the coupler-head as a single piece and that the two ends of this single piece are connected by snap buttons, toggle buttons, turn buttons and the like to easily mount the device. Means are preferred which can be manually fastened or manually unfastened even when wearing gloves.
  • a fixation is provided for fixing the front face cover in a position that the front face cover is swung to the side cover section.
  • the fixation can be brought into practice by at least one lanyard, a hook, a snap button, a push button or the like.
  • a means for the fixation is preferred which can be manually carried out even when wearing gloves.
  • rear window and front window can provide attachment points for coupler-head and/or coupler shaft that the base of the front window is higher than the base of the rear window in the mounted state of the device.
  • the inclination or slope can be in the range of 10° to 80°, preferred 20° to 60°, most preferred 30° to 60°, with regard to the longitudinal direction, which can be substantially parallel to the coupler shaft.
  • the top cover section and/or a side cover section is adapted to allow access to the coupler-head.
  • a flap or flap-like element can be provided in the top cover section and/or the side cover section, the flap-like element having an overlap at the edge of the flap.
  • the flap can be selectively closed or opened. To stay in the closed position snap buttons, push buttons or the like can be provided in the vicinity of the edge of the flap and/or the overlap.
  • the device comprises a front window 1 at one end of the device (see especially Fig. 5 ) which is positioned in the mounted state in the region of the free end of the coupler-head 23.
  • the front window 1 is covered by a front face cover 2. Further, connected to the front window 1 is a top cover section 3 and two side cover sections 4 as well as a bottom cover section 5.
  • the top cover section, the two side cover sections 4 and the bottom cover section 5 enclose the coupler-head.
  • the top cover section 3, the side cover sections 4 and the bottom cover section 5 form a single-piece cover surrounding the coupler-head in a circumferential direction around the longitudinal axis of the coupler rod to which the coupler-head 23 is attached.
  • the front window 1 is mounted on the coupler-head back to the coupling plane defined by the mechanical coupling plane 6 shown in Fig. 3.
  • Fig. 3 further schematically shows an electrical coupling 7 which is arranged on top of the mechanical coupling 6.
  • the front face cover 2 comprises an opening 10, which is covered by a covering 11 of flexible material.
  • the protrusion of the mechanical coupling 6 shown in Fig. 3 can project through the opening 10 and is still covered by the covering 11.
  • the front face cover 2 as well as the front window 1 envelope substantially two sections arranged one above the other.
  • the lower section is a rectangular section 13, depicted by dashed lines in Fig. 3
  • the upper section is a trapezoidal section 14 also depicted by dashed lines in Fig. 3 . This design gives clearance to any movement of the coupler-head.
  • the front face cover 2 can be swung towards one of the side cover section 4 as depicted in Fig. 4 or detached from the front window (completely).
  • the device further comprises a rear window 16 which is arranged at the rear end of the device.
  • the rear window 16 can substantially have the same shape as the rectangular section of the front window 1 positioned at the front end of the device.
  • the area of the rear window 16 is therefore smaller than the area of the front window 1 positioned at the front end.
  • the rear window 16 can be staggered in height such that the rectangular shape of the rear window 16 has a lower level than the rectangular shape 13 of the front window 1.
  • the top cover section 3 has an inclination from the top of front window 1 to the top of rear window 16. The top cover section 3 descends from the front window 1 to rear window 16.
  • Fig. 9 shows a rear face cover 18 which can be attached to the rear window 16 and/or integrally formed with the rear window 16.
  • the rear face cover 18 comprises a yoke 19 which is adapted to be connected to the coupler shaft. Further, the rear face cover 18 comprises through-holes 20 for supporting or directing hoses and cables to the coupler head.
