' SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 308,611, dated December 2, 1884.
Application filed October 15, 1884.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, OLIVER PERRY HIX, of Rockland, in the county of Knox, of the State of Maine, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Railway-Oar Couplings;
and I do hereby declare the same to be described in the following specification and represented in the accompanying drawings, of which Figure 1 is a side view, and Figs. 2 and 3 longitudinal sections, of a draw or bunter bar provided with my improved coupling, the nature of which is defined in the claims hereinafter presented. Fig. 4 is an end view of part of the platform of a car having a drawbar furnished with my said coupling and the two levers for forcing its hook upward in order to uncouple it with the connection-shackling lever of another such coupling without requiring an attendant to go between the two coupled cars.
In the drawings, A denotes the draw or bunter bar, which is suitably chambered to receive within it and allow to properly oper- 2 5 ate a hook, B, and a slotted shackling-lever, 0, arranged in it in manner as represented. The hook turns vertically on a pin, a, going through its shank, which extends below the draw-bar and directly over two levers, D and E, that near theirinner ends are fulcrumed to the platform F and extend in opposite directions toward the sides thereof. Each lever goes through oneof two slotted hangers, G, extending downward from the platform,
the lever, when the hook is at its lowest position, resting on the bottom of the slot 1) of the hanger. The slotted shackling-lever C 6X tends out of the mouth 0 of the draw-bar in an inclined direction, and is fulcrumed on a +0 pin, d, below the part of the hook B which rests on the shackling-lever. Near its rear end the said shackling-lever bears upward against a stationary pin, 6, such pin and that marked (1 going laterally through the drawbar. Through the outer arm of the shackling-lever O is a slot, f, of sufficient size to couple the said lever with the hook. Directly over the shank of the hook there is extended transversely through the draw-bar a (No model.)
it, the higher shackling-lever of one will be forced against and up the upper inclined surface of the shackling-lever of the other and against the hook over such, which will be pressed upward until the slot of the said higher shackling-lever may come directly under the point of the hook, in which case the hook will drop and enter the shackling-lever and couple the cars together.
To uncouple the cars,either of the levers D and E below the hook is to be raised, whereby the hook will be forced upward out of the link, and this without thenecessity of a person going between the cars.
From the above it will be seen that my coupling'is a very simple and efficient one, its main essential parts being the stationary stop 6, its hook B, and the slotted shackling-lever 0.
I therefore claim- 1. The railway-car coupling, substantially as described, consisting ofthe stationary stop e and the hook B and slotted shackling-lever 0, arranged with and applied to a draw-bar essentially in manner and to operate as set forth.
represented.
