Description
J. A. HOVEY, 0. I. LUGE, 8v J. G. SHARP Oar-Coupling.
. No. 222,785. Patented Dec. 23, 187.9. Y
UNITED JERRY A. HOVEY, OF MAN KATO, MINNESOTA, AND OSCAR I. LUOE AND O. SHARP, OF EVANSVILLE, \VISOONSIN.
IMPROVEMENT lN CAR-COUPLINGS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 222,785, dated December 23, 1879; application filed April 8, 1878.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, JERRY A. HoVEY,.of Mankato, in the county of Blue Earth, and in the State of Minnesota, and OSCAR I. LUGE and JOHN C. SHARP, of Evansville, in the county of Rock, and in the State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oar-Oouplin gs; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and tothe letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification.
The nature of our invention consists in the construction and arrangement of a car-coupling, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth. In order to enable others skilled in the art to which our invention appertains to make and use the same, we will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of our car-coupling. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical, and Fig. 3 is a transverse vertical, section of the same. Figs. 4 and 5 are detailed views of parts thereof.
A represents the drawhead, formed with the usual flaring mouth 13. In the throat of thecoupling on the bottom is a curved. projection,.a., and back of the same is a curved recess, b, as shown.
In the top of the throat is the projection 01, back of which is a chamber, 0, running transversely across the top of the draw-head. This chamber is open at both ends, and in one end is pivoted a lever, D, which extends beyond the other end of the chamber, and has the other end provided with a ball or weight, D.
The lever D, in cross-seotion, is of the form shown in Fig. 2, the front, at, being rounded, and the rear, d hollowed out, leaving an edge, (1, as shown. it
F is the coupling-bar, formed with a hook, j, at each end. As the coupling-bar enters the draw-head it pushes up the lever D, and as soon as the hook 1' passes, the lever drops down, coupling the cars.
The outer end'of the coupling-lever D is, by a chain, 2', connected with a rod, h, which passes up through a casting, G, at the top of the car, for uncoupling the cars, when desired.
The upper end of the rod h is formed with a ring, h, which prevents the rod from falling -to hold the lever D up so as not to couple the cars when brought together.
For the same purpose we provide a latch, k. on the side of the draw-head, to raise and hold the lever without going up on top of the car. This latch is pivoted and arranged in such a manner that a slight upward movement of the lever D will cause the latch to drop down and out of the way.
When two cars of different height are coupled together, the projections 01, d in the lower oar act as fulcrums to throw the end of the coupling-bar down into the'recess b, and prevent the rising of and prying up of the lever.
The rear of the lever D being hollowed out, as shown at (2", makes the hook f take hold better on the lever.
Having thus fully described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The transverse weighted lever D, having convex front face d and concave rear face d and pivoted within a recess or chamber in the draw-head, and the hooked link f, which acts directly on the convex face of the lever, as set forth.
2. The combination, with thelever D, of the chain z, rod h, with rings h W, and the plate G, with hook m, as and for the purposes set forth.
In testimony that we claim the foregoing we have hereunto set our hands this 18th day of January, 1878.
