l `TheSrlhrule` referred to in these Letters ietent and making part of the name.
To all whom it maf/concerti j:' n
Be itwknowtiphat we, `com: ROYAL, Moses A.
` LENTZ,"and..Jnn1t1u1AH1M.,DErEir, of `La Fayette, y `in the county `of `'lippecanoeanrl in the State of Indi- Tiana, have invented certainanew and useful Improvements in Gar-Coupling; and :do hereby declare that l the following is] a" fulhlelear,` and exact description "thereof, `reference being had tothe accompanying drawhaiti-nga part `of ,thisspeciticatiom i n i `The nature 4of` onrfinvention consists in the con-` 'ng and lto the lettersfofreference `marked. thereon vstruction Vand arrangement oi a car#coupling,` as Will be hereinafter more fully` set forth.
V In order to enable others skilled in the art to which your invention appertainsto' rnake and uselthe same, we
will now proceed to describe its construction and operi .ation, -referringto the annexed drawing, in which- `Figurel shows a side Vview of one bumper and a lm 'longitudinal vertical section` of the other.,`
Figure 2 is airoutview of one of the bumpers. n "A representsthe bumper or front end oi' the drawlxead',lprovided with afhorizontal partition, B, which, divides it into *two compartment-s, into: either one of .n n. which the coupling-liukgmay enter so'as `to accommo- L` ldate or adaptgitself to caijsof diierent heights.`
The mouths `of thebuniper's are beveled, as "shown infiig.`1,"to itf them the"@better to `receive the enter- In` agroove in the funder side `of the top ofthe bumperis hungla pin-G,"of just sufficient length that i when swung `foryvtrd it will pass through a notch, ct, n in the centerlofthe upper sideof the partition B.
"In the-bottom "ofthe bumper A is made a slot or fmortise, in which is hung` anotherpin, O', the upper fendof which is of suitable length, so that it will, when swung forward, pass `through a notch, o', in the center n ofthe underside of the partition B; The lower end i ofthe pin' O' is made heayienendcurved forward, soV "that theupper `endwill stand in an upright position.
" One sidejof the:` bumper A -is provided with a morand in the slotl on the partition B is a tongue, fi, titl ting in said groove on 4the slide, as shown in 1, whereby the slide is held so that itcannot mpv'e up or down, but lis allowed to move freely out or in.
An arm, b, .connects the slide D with a lever, E, pivoted orhinged at the lower edge of the bumper A, and the upper end ol' said lever held by a spring, d, in `a rack, G, extending from the side of the bumper, as shown.V
When the slide D is moved in by the lever E it covers the notches c a on the partition B, orrather closes'their inner ends, so that the ends of the pins C Gwill strike said slide 'and cannot swing forward.
vWhen the link H is inserted etherabove or below the partition H, it swings the pin backward until it can drop down within the link, when the cars are, of
course, coupled. y
To uncouplev it is only necessary to withdraw the slide D by means of the lever E, when the pin can swing forward and releasethe link.
' Having` thus fully described our invention,
What we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The combination of the bumper Ahpartiton B, pins 0.0', slide D', arm b, lever E, spring d, and rack G,
all constructed and arranged to operate substantially
