HENRY C. MILLER, OF SOLDIERS HOME, LEAVENVVORTH COUNTY, KANSAS.
CAR-COUPLING LINK-HOLDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 410,554, dated September 3, 1889. Application filed July 20, 1888. Serial No- 280,557. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY O. MILLER, a citizen of the United States, residing; at the Soldiers Home, in the county of Leavenworth and State of Kansas, have invented a new and useful device for holding car-links when they are coupled together without any person having to go between them to hold the link and thus ineu rrin g liability to be caught or killed.
My invention relates to the method of holding the link so that cars can be coupled of any height. I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which the figure is a View of the entire machine.
Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout.
Letter a indicates the chains. At 1) is shown the pulleys that the chain runs over or around. At letter (Z is where the chain passes through an eye on side of the car. Letter E is where the springs are hung. Letter fshows the plate that is riveted onto the ends of the springs, showing teeth on the top where the link lies. Letter G shows the rods that support the spring-frame, and at l) is a pulley that the chain a runs around, and which, by pulling the chain at letter II, will raise the springframe that the link rests on. Letter j is the pin. Letter f is where the rod G is hung to the frame. Letter J shows the frame when it is let down after the cars are coupled.
IVhat I claim, and desire to obtain by Letters Patent of the United States, is
The combination of the side springs united by the plate f, the rods g, the pulleys, and the lateral chains, substantially as described.
HENRY C. MILLER.
