To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Wnmmm E. Win, a citizen of the United States, residing at Toledo, in the. county of Lucas and State of Ohio, have invented new and useful 1m: provements in Uncoupling Devices, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relatesto uncoupling devices for car couplers. It is the object of my invention to provide a form of coupler release which is simple, durable, cheap and eflicient.
With theseand other objects hereinafterexplained in 'view my invention consists in the construction and combination of elements hereinafter described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings which illustrate the preferred embodiment of my invention; Figure 1 is a plan view of the device applied to the end sill of a car. Fig. 2 is an elevation of same. Fig. 3 is a plan view -of a portion of the device to a larger scale. Fig. 4 is an elevation of the parts shown in Fig. 3 and section on line AA. Fig. 5 is a partial end View of the uncouplinglever bearing and partial section on line BB of same.
Similar characters designate similar arts throughout the several figures of the rawing.
Referring now toparts by number. The hand lever 1 is pivoted b bearing 2 on the bracket 3. The inner en 4 of hand lever 1 is bent outwardly at right angles to the main portion thereof and is provided with a slot or notch 5 in which rests the coupling lever 6.
The off-set end 7 of coupler lever 6 is pivoted in hole 8 of uncoupling lever 1. The bearing 2 consists of two parts identically the same which are provided with lugs or extensions 9 adapted to engage ribs 10 on bracket 3 to limit the pivotal movement of hand lever 1. The hand lever 1 is held in position in bearing 2 by .rivet or other attaching means 11. Bearing 2 being held in position on bracket 3 by bolt 7 12 and washer 13.
It can readily be seen that bracket 3 and 'bearing 2 can be made castings of any suitable material, while the hand lever 1 and uncoupling lever 6 can be made of wrought iron or steel and bent into their respective shapes with but little work.
Uncoupling levers of this same general type which are in present use are so con- Speciflcation of Letters latent.
Application filed April 3, 1918. Serial No. 88,624.
Patented Feb.13, 19a.
structedthat it is necessary to make them of forgmgs entailing considerable equipment and labor for their manufacture.
In this device it can readily be understood how the parts can be manufactured at a minimum cost and at the same time make a thoroughly efficient and operatable device.
Having thus described my invention, I aim in the appended claims to cover all modifications which do not involve a departure from its spirit and scope.
What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent'of the United States is 1. In a release rigging, the combination of an uncoupling lever and means for pivotally mounting same, comprising a bearing thereon and a bracket for the reception of sa d bearing, said bearing bein provided with means adapted to limit its pivotal movement.
2. In a release rigging, the combination of an uncoupling lever and means for pivotally mounting same, comprising a bearing thereon and a bracket for the reception of said bearing, said bearing being provided with ribs adapted to engage said bracket to limit its pivotal movement.
3. In a release rigging, the combination of a hand lever, means for pivotally mount- 1ng said hand lever comprising abracket having a trunnion thereon, a bearing attached to said hand lever and engaging said trunnion and means for holding said hearing in engagement with said trunnion, and an uncoupling lever cooperating with said hand lever.
4:. In a'release rigging, the combination of a hand lever, means for pivotally mountmg said hand lever, comprising a bearing thereof and a bracket for the reception of said bearing, and an uncoupling lever cooperating with said hand lever, said bearing being provided with means adapted to limit its pivotal movement.
5. In a release rigging, the combination of a hand lever, means for pivotally mounting said hand lever comprising a bracket having laterally disposed lugs thereon and a bearing attached to said hand lever pro- .vided with lugs adapted to engage said lugs misses bracket provided with a, trunnion and lotsaid hand lever in fixed relation with said orally disposed lugs, and a bearing provided bearing. m
