JOHN G. TRENEAR, ()F HUNTINGTON, WEST VIRGINIA.
CAR-COUPLING.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 271,951, dated February 6, 1883.
i 1 Application filed January 30, 1882. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, J OHN GILL TRENEAR, a citizen of the United States, residing at Huntington, in the county of Cabell and State of West Virginia, have invented an Improvement in Oar-Coupling, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in car-couplers, and it has for its object to provide a means whereby the'coupling-pin will be held in a vertical position when the cars areuncoupled,and which will guide the pins in the vertical opening in the draw-head when the cars come together; and it consists in the construction and combination of the several parts, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth, and pointed out in the claim. I
1n the annexed drawings, which illustrate my invention, Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal section of the draw-heads, to which is attachedmy improved pin-guide; and Fig. 2 is a front view of the same.
A represents the draw head, which is provided with longitudinal openings, in which is placed a carriage, K, which is provided with a forwardly-projectin g pin-support, G. In the rear of this recess is placed a ring, J, against which the spring which is placed on the ends of the carriage abuts. This carriage is provided with a suitable roller, H, as shown. By means of this carriage, when the pin is raised the upper opening in the draw-headis partly closed, and the end of the coupling-pin B will rest upon the support G.
The draw-head A is provided at. its upper sides, in front of the vertical opening through which the pin passes, with angular brackets a a, and rear of the opening for the couplingpin with a projecting tongue, b, as shown in Fig. 1, by means of which the tube D, which may consist of a plate of sheet metal, is se- 1, and is united at its upper end by suitable means, so as to leave the front part of the same open. The upper part of this tube is provided with a transverse bar, E, which will prevent the pin B being removed from the tube.
The operation of this invention is substantially as follows: When the pin B is raised the carriage will be pressed forward by the spring, so that a portion, G, will come immediately under the vertical opening in the draw-head, and the tube D, which is very near the same size as the head of the coupling-pin at the top, will hold the pin in a vertical position, and when the cars come together the coupling-link, pressing upon the carriage, will remove the support of the pin and allow it to descend. By this arrangement and construction the coupling-pins are always held in place, and cannot be removed from the draw-bar unless the transverse pin E is removed.
Having thusdescribed my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
In a car-coupler, the draw-head provided with a vertical tube, arranged over the coupling-pin and provided with rod E, substantially as shown, and for the purpose setforth.
JOHN GILL TRENEAR.
