UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JOHN H. MEARS AND GEO. CAMERON, OF OSHKOSH, W'ISOONSIN.
CAR-COUPLING.
Specification of Letters Patent No. 25,844, dated October 18, 1859.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, JOHN H. MEARS and GEORGE CAMERON, of Oshkosh, in the county of WVinnebago, State of lVisconsin, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Car-Couplings; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full and clear description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.
The nature of our invention consists in the construction of our car-coupling in such a manner that when a car runs off the track it will uncouple itself from the rest of the cars.
To enable others skilled in the art. to make and use our invention, we will proceed to describe its construction and operation.
The hunter E is made of wrought or cast iron, with a tongue left at G for link H to couple into.
A is an iron yoke confined in cross piece S by pin .T and attached to lever C by connecting rod F.
S is a cross piece of iron riveted into hunter E, as represented, and forming part of the same.
B is a steel spring fastened to cross piece S and presses down on yoke A, which confines link H to its place on tongue G.
Lever C when pulled out into notch R will draw yoke A by connecting rod F, which will uncouple link H from tongue G, which can be used when cars are lying still or in motion.
By moving either hunter to the right or left after allowing suflicient play for the sway of the cars it will uncouple by pressing open yoke A and letting link H slip off from end of tongue G.
Figures 1 and 2 are two different views of yoke A. Fig. 3 is link H crooked at the ends, as represented, so as keep it confined near the center of tongue G, and thus prevent uncoupling too easily.
That we claim as our invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. The tongue G for retaining link H constructed and operating as described.
2. The arrangement of yoke A lever C and spring B, and connecting rod F constructed and operating as described.
WVe do not claim link H, nor the manner in which cross piece S and end of hunter E are riveted on.
JOHN H. MEAR-S. GEORGE CAMERON. Vitnesses ERwIN HEATH, MELVIN R. BALDWIN.
