HUDSON, NEW YORK.
CAR-COUPLING.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 278,838, dated June 5, 1883.
Application filed April 12, 1883. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.- Be it known that I, CARY VAN DEUsEN, citizen of the United States of America, residing at Hudson, in the county of Columbia and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Car- Couplings, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
This invention relates to an improvement in that class of automatic car-couplings in whichlink liberates it on entering the draw-bar and allows the pin to fall down through the link.
The invention consists in the peculiar construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a side elevation; Fig. 2, a longitudinal vertical section, and Fig. 3 a front eleva tion.
Arepresents a draw-bar having a horizontal central recess, a, cast therein, in which works a slide, B, whose inner end has a slot formed in it to receive the rounded end of the lever G, pivoted at c to the draw-bar, and is also pivoted to one end of the pin-carrier D, the other end of which moves in a dovetail-shaped guide, E, formed near the aperture (4 for the pin F.
When it is desired to couple the cars the pin 01" one of the couplings is raised and the carrier D pushed back, as shown in Fig. 1, which leaves the end of the slide B projecting slightly into the mouth of the coupling,'andthe carrier is then in position to hold the pin in a raised condition. The two cars are then run together, and as the end of the link strikes the end of the slide B the latter is pushed back, thus operating the lever G, which pushes forward the carrier D, and as soon as the hole cl in the carrier D is over the aperture a the pin F drops into said aperture, and the link is thus secured in place.
It will thus be seen that by this improvement a cheap and simple automatic coupler is produced that is always ready for use and not likely to get out of order.
WVhat I claim as new is 1. The combination, with a draw-bar and link, of the slide B, lever O, carrierD, and pin F, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
2. The combination, with a draw-bar having a central recess, a, of the slide B, working through said recess, having one end slotted to receive the rounded end of the lever O, which is pivoted in the draw-bar, and also to one end of the carrierD, whose outer end has a dovetail-shaped projection and carries the pin F, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
GARY VAN DEUSEN.
