JAMES N. MOORE AND ABRAHAM L. MINER, OF LOWVELL, INDIANA.
CAOR-COUPLING.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No, 360,719, dated April 5, 1887.
Application filed February 4, 1887. Serial No. 226,591. (No model.)
To aZZ whom/it may concern:
Be it known that we, JAMES N. MOORE and ABRAHAM 'L. ll/IINER, citizens of. the United States, residing at Lowell, in the county of Lake and State. of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Gar-Couplings, of which the following is a specification.
Our invention relates to an improvement in car-couplings; and it consists in the peculiar construction and arrangement of parts, as hereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the claims.
Figure l is a perspective view of an end of a car having our improvement applied. Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation of the draw-head. A is the draw-head, which is provided with the usual flaring mouth, and is secured to the under side of the car in any well-known manner.
B is a drawbar, pivoted at its rear end in the draw-head and extending forward to the mouth of the draw-head. The draw-bar B is provided with the notch 1) near its forward end, forming a hook, b, and the end of the said bar is beveled downwardly, as shown at b.
To the under side of the draw-head is secured the spring 0, and to the free end ofspring is secured the link a, which passes up into the draw-head, and through which the draw-bar passes, so that the draw-bar will be held normally on the bottom of the draw-head by the said spring.
D is a lever pivoted in a keeper, E, on the end of the ear, and having itsinner end connected by a chain, (1, to the draw-bar B, so that the draw-bar can be operated without passing between the cars.
For the purpose of operating the draw-bar from the top of the car, we pivot the foot-lever F in the bracketf and connect it to the drawbar by means of the chain f. Instead of the chains d andffor connecting the levers E F to the draw-bar, rods may be used.
The operation is as follows: When the cars are run together, the link on the adjacent car will strike the beveled end I) of the draw-bar and be guided downward under the sanieinto the notch b, when the spring will return the draw-bar to its normal position, thereby coupling the cars. By operating the hand-lever D or the footlever F the drawbar can be elevated to permit the cars to be uncoupled.
Having thus described our invention, what we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Fat 55 cut, is-
1. In a car-coupling, the combination, with the draw-head A, of the draw-bar B, pivoted in the draw-head and provided with the hooks if, having the beveled end I), the link 0, pass- 60 ing up into the draw-head and apertured for the passage of the draw-bar, the spring 0, haw iug one end secured to the draw-head and the other to the link 0, and means for operating the draw-bar from the top or side of the ear, substantially as herein shown and described.
2. In a car-coupling, the combination, with a car, of the draw-head A, the draw-bar B, pivoted in the draw-head and provided with the beveled hook b b, the link a, passing up into the draw-head and apertured for the passage of the draw-bar, the spring 0, secured to the draw-head and link, the levers E F, and the chains (Z f, connecting the said levers to the draw-bar, substantially as herein shown and described.
