Abstract
DISPOSITIF D'ACCOUPLEMENT POUR RELIER AUTOMATIQUEMENT UN TUYAU D'AIR COMPRIME. POUR POUVOIR REMORQUER UN VEHICULE FERROVIAIRE EQUIPE D'UN CROCHET DE TRACTION 1 AU MOYEN D'UN VEHICULE POURVU D'UN ACCOUPLEMENT DE MANOEUVRE 10, IL EST NECESSAIRE QUE LES TUYAUX 9, 17 DU CIRCUIT DE FREINAGE DES DEUX VEHICULES PUISSENT ETRE RELIES AUTOMATIQUEMENT. A CETTE FIN, IL EST NECESSAIRE QUE LES PARTIES MALE 11 ET FEMELLE 2 DES ACCOUPLEMENTS DE CES TUYAUX SOIENT DIFFERENTES. POUR ALIGNER CES DEUX PARTIES PENDANT L'ACCOUPLEMENT ET POUR CORRIGER LES ELEMENTS TRANSVERSAUX ENTRE L'ACCOUPLEMENT DE MANOEUVRE ET LE CROCHET DE TRACTION, CES DEUX PARTIES SONT SUSPENDUES ELASTIQUEMENT. L'EGALISATION DU JEU LONGITUDINAL DANS CETTE LIAISON MECANIQUE S'EFFECTUE AU NIVEAU DES ACCOUPLEMENTS D'AIR COMPRIME DU FAIT QU'UN PISTON 14 EST PREVU COULISSANT AXIALEMENT DANS LA PARTIE FEMELLE ET EST MAINTENU EXCLUSIVEMENT PAR LA PRESSION DE L'AIR COMPRIME DU CIRCUIT DE FREINAGE DANS LA PARTIE FEMELLE.COUPLING DEVICE FOR AUTOMATICALLY CONNECTING A COMPRESSED AIR PIPE. TO BE ABLE TO TOW A RAIL VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH A TRACTION HOOK 1 BY MEANS OF A VEHICLE PROVIDED WITH A SHUTTLE COUPLING 10, IT IS NECESSARY THAT THE PIPES 9, 17 OF THE BRAKING CIRCUIT OF THE TWO AUTOMATED VEHICLES CAN BE RELIED. FOR THIS PURPOSE, IT IS NECESSARY THAT THE MALE 11 AND FEMALE 2 PARTS OF THE COUPLINGS OF THESE PIPES ARE DIFFERENT. TO ALIGN THESE TWO PARTS DURING COUPLING AND TO CORRECT THE TRANSVERSAL ELEMENTS BETWEEN THE MANEUVER COUPLING AND THE TENSION HOOK, THESE TWO PARTS ARE ELASTICALLY SUSPENDED. THE EQUALIZATION OF THE LONGITUDINAL CLEARANCE IN THIS MECHANICAL LINK IS CARRIED OUT AT THE COMPRESSED AIR COUPLINGS BECAUSE A PISTON 14 IS PROVIDED SLIDING AXIALLY IN THE FEMALE PART AND IS MAINTAINED EXCLUSIVELY BY THE PRESSURE OF THE COMPRESSED AIR OF THE CIRCUIT BRAKING IN THE FEMALE PART.

ment de manoeuvre s'effectue manuellement par un opérateur qui relie les conduits d'air comprimé au moyen d'un accouplement à baïonnette ou analogue De fait, on connaît des accouplements automatiques qui, en même temps que la liaison des tampons centraux, établissent simultanément la liaison des tuyaux d'air comprimé Ceci implique que les accouplements des tampons centraux et, partant, les accouplements des tuyaux d'air, aient la même structure Par ailleurs, l'étanchéité des accouplements Maneuvering is effected manually by an operator who connects the compressed air ducts by means of a bayonet coupling or the like. In fact, automatic couplings are known which, together with the connection of the central buffers, establish simultaneously the connection of the compressed air hoses This implies that the couplings of the central buffers and, therefore, the couplings of the air hoses, have the same structure. Furthermore, the sealing of the couplings
