Abstract

277,688. National Malleable & Steel Castings Co., (Assignees of Willison, J.). Sept. 16, 1926, [Convention date]. Couplings, automatic. - An uncoupling mechanism for car-couplers comprises a transverse rotary shaft 13, Fig. 1, having two different diameters on which chains 19, 24 are mounted respectively, the chain 24 being connected to a lock-releasing lever 26 on the car coupler 10 and the chain 19 to the end of a guide 16 along which the end of the rod 13 rolls during the uncoupling movement. The chains are wound in opposite directions on the rod 13 so that a differential action is obtained to rotate the lever 26. In a modification, Fig. 5, the end of a shaft 33 is connected by a chain 46 to the vehicle frame and rests in the end of a swing-link 35 which is connected by a rod 39 to the lock 40 of the coupler. Rotation of the rod 33 winds the chain 46 upon the rod to rotate the swing link, as shown in dot- and-dash line, to withdraw the lock. In a further modification a bell-crank lever replaces the swing- link 35.
