INVENTOR UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
CARL J. SCHULTZ, OF CLEVELAND, OHIO, ASSIGNOR TO THE NATIONAL MALLEABLE CASTINGS COMPANY OF CLEVELAND, OHIO, A CORPORATION OF OHIO. I
UNCOUPLING-ROD BRACKET.
Specification of Letters Patent.
i Patented Aug. 8, 1911.
To all whom it may concern: I
Be it known .that I. CARL J. Senna", a resident of Cleveland, Cuyahoga county, ()hio, have invented anew-and useful Uncoupling'ltod Bracket, of which the following is a full. 'elear. and exactdescription;
reference being bad to the accompanying drawin s, forming part of this specification, in which Figure l is a side elevation partly in section showing one form of bracketcon structed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a' top plan view. Fig. 4 is a side elevation showing another form of the base plate, and Fig. 5 is a plan view of the same.
My invention relates to uncoupling .rod brackets and is designed to provide a si1nple, cheap and ct'licient bracket having a detachable holding member which may be laterally engaged with the uncoupling rod at any point in its length without endwise threadin The holding member may also he detached from the rod by sidewise movement. r
In the drawin referring to the form of Figs. 1, 2 and 3, 2 represents a. base plate which in this form is adapted to be secured to the vertical face of an end sill or dead block and hence takes the form ol a shelf or bracket structure. In this form the casting has a vertical plate portion 3 provided with bossed holes for receiving bolts or rivets to secure it to. the car and is preferably provided with a strengthening web 4 connecting the base plate aml the vertical.
plate portion. This base plate may of course vary in form and may be made of either casting 'onforging, or, in any other desirable. way. From the upper surface of the base plate 2, preferably iutcgral'therewith, a lug 5 projects upwardly, this lug being cylindrical in the form show The detachable rod carrying or si'lpporting member (1 is U-shapcd in form, the legs of the U having registering holes by whicl iitz is slipped down over the upwardlv projecting lug or pin on the base plate. When thus placed in position it is secured by a cotter pin 7 projecting through a transverse hole 8 in the upper end portion of the lug or pin. The cotter locks the rod carrying member in place and prevents its accidental removal. I have also shown the rod carrying member as having a downwardly bending lip extenlar to those of l igs. 1.2
of the base plate and is designed to prevent sidewise swinging movement of the holding member which might; cause it to bind on the uncoupling rod. 'lhe uncouplingrod passes through the opening marked 10 and is re-" tained in position so longas the rod holding member is retained by the cotter on the through pin or log.
In the modification ot' Figslaud 5,Tshow a form similar to that of Figs. 1. 2 and it, except that the base plate 2 is a simple plain plate designed to best-cured on the top of the end sill or other horizontal surface of the car and having suitable securing lugs or projections. in these figures. parts simiand 3 are nrirked with similar numerals with the letter a applied.
The' advantages of my invention will be obvioi'is to those skilled in the. art. A simple and economical form of uncoupling rod bracket is provided having-only three parts. Fhe rod carrying member may be placed on the uncoupling rod at any point of its length without threading it along the rod at either-end. 'lhis rod .nay be easily secured in place or detached.-
Many variations may be made-in the form and arrangement of the parts within the scope of my invention as defined in the claims.
l claimz- I 1. An uncoupling l'od bracket having a support. c 'U-shapcd rod carrying member detaclnibly secured to saidjsupport and a "closing.member engaging the l gs ol the U- shaped rod carrying uu-mber; substantially as ('lescribed.
In an uncoupling rod bracket, a support having a projection. and a U-shapcd rod carrier having its Ulorming arms engag: lg said projection; substantially as described.
l. In an uncoupling rod bracket :1 base plate having an upwardly projecting pin with a hole in its upper portion, aml a U- shaped rod carrier having holes arranged to receive the pin and being secured by a cotter through the hole in the pin; substantially as described.
4-. In an uncoupling rod l'n'acltet, a base plate having a projecting pin, and a U.- shaped rod carrier secured on the pin and having a lip engaging the base plate to sion 9,-which fits against: the forward end avoid side swinging of the carrier; substantially as described.
.5. In -an uncoupling rod bracket, 1; support, a rod carrier secured on said support and having an open side, and a closure for the open side projecting from the base plate; suliistuntiully as described. (i. In an unconpllng rod bracket, :1 support having a PI'OJQCtlIlg closing member,
set my hand.
