Abstract
458,720. Vehicle couplings. MEYER, G., 327, Podbielskistrasse, Hanover, Germany. March 24, 1936, No. 8724. Convention date, Nov. 2, 1935. [Class 103 (v)] A coupling for a tractor and trailer or between two trailer vehicles comprises on one vehicle coupling claws g pivoted on vertical bolts h in a suitable framework on the under side of the chassis a and adapted to be locked in the coupling position by a bolt k, and on the other vehicle a ball-shaped pin n mounted on the coupling shaft and engaging in the claws g. The support for the pivots h comprises a plate e secured to a pair of longitudinal members c which in turn are riveted to a pair of bowshaped transverse stirrups b, b<1>, the plate e being formed with a guide plate o for directing the ball. n into the coupling jaws. Prior to effecting a coupling the claws g are open and the bolt k presses upon the tails z thereof under the influence of one or more springs s associated with links w, r, u. When the ball n, the stem of which may be arranged either vertically or horizontally, enters the claws, it presses them together, and the bolt k springs into the gap between the tails z. The bolt k is raised from such locking position by operation of a handlever q associated with the linkage w, r, u.
