JOSEPH PI-IILANDER HASTY, OF SUPERIOR, NEBRASKA.
CAR-COUPLING.
SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 466,233, dated December 29, 1891.
Application filed September 12, 1891. Serial No. 405,498. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JOSEPH PHILANDER HAS- TY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Superior, in the county of Nuckolls and State of Nebraska, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Car-Couplings, of which the following is a specification. v
The object of my invention is to-provide a coupling that will be simple in construction, couple automatically, and which may be uncoupled without going between the cars from either side or the top of the car; and in carrying out my invention I proceed as follows, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof, whereiu- Figures 1 and 2 are views, in front elevation, of a car-coupling constructed according to my invention, the parts being shown as in their coupled and uncoupled positions, respectively. Fig. 3 is a vertical side elevation of two abutting cars supplied with my carcoupling, one of the coupling-hooks being shown as in its elevated position and one of the draw-heads in partial section. Fig. 4 is a plan view.
The letter A designates a portion of a car of the usual construction, and B the drawhead, having pivoted therein a hook O, by which the coupling is effected through a link D of the usual form. A slot, as at c, is formed in the hook O for the pivot-pin 0', so that a limited amount of longitudinal play is permitted to the said hook, for the purpose as will presently appear, and a recess, as at b, is formed in the top front portion of the drawhead to receive the front end of the couplinghook, so that when the cars are coupled the draft of the cars will draw the coupling-hook beneath the recess Z2, and thus the accidental raising of said hook is prevented.
To operate the coupling-hook from either side of the car, a rod E, having bent ends 6, that extend to each side of the car, is mounted upon the end of the car, and centrally of this rod is an extension e, from which depends a chain 6 that is secured to the hook O.
F is a catch fixed to the end of the car, that engages the arm 6' of the rod E and holds the same in its elevated position, and to disengage which arm 6 from said hook the rod E must be moved laterally, as shown in Fig. 1.
To operate the coupling-hook from the top of the car, a rod G is provided that extends to the top of the car and is connected to the coupling-hook by a chain H, and to retain the said rod in its elevated position a catch, as at g, is provided, that receives the rod Gr when the same is at its elevated position, as in Fig. 2.
To prevent the entrance of snow or ice within the draw-head or beneath the coupling-hook, a shield, as at I, is provided. I
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is as follows: The combination, in a car-coupling,with the draw-head having the recess b in the top front portion thereof and couplinghook O, with sloto' and pivot-pin c, of the rod Ee, extending 'to the sides of the car, catch F, chain 6, and rod G, chain H ,and catch g, all constructed and arranged to operate substantially as and for the purposes specified.
