CAR-COUPLING.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 475,796, dated May 31, 1892.
Application filed February 19, 1892. Serial bla/122,074. (No model.)
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, J Aeon T. RAILSBACK, of Kansas City, Tyandotte county, Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Automatic Car-Couplings, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof.
My invention relates to couplings for connecting railway-cars together to form trains, for connecting railway locomotive-engines to such cars or trains, and for connecting various types of railway-vehicles together.
The objects of my invention are to produce a car-coupling which shall be simple, strong, durable, and comparatively inexpensive in construction and adapted for application to both passenger and freight cars of all kinds and to all kinds of locomotives, and which shall automatically secure the cars in coupled condition and be readily operated to uncou ple such cars when desired. Furthermore, to produce a railway car-coupling which shall be so constructed that it cannot be accidentally uncoupled by derailment of the cars or other vehicles.
To the above purposes my invention consists in certain peculiar and novel features of construction and arrangement, as hereinafter described and claimed.
In order that my invention may be fully understood,l will proceed to describe it with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of two railwaycars provided with my automatic couplings. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section of the same on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an end elevation of one of the cars, the coupling being removed and showing the operative connections for the coupling. Fig. 4 is a vertical longitudinal section of the couplings on the line 4 l of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a transverse vertical section of one of the coupling-heads on the line 5 5 vof Fig. 4. Fig. 6 is a horizontal section of one of the coupling-heads on the line G 6 of Fig. 4. Figs. 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 are detached perspective views of certain details of construction hereinafter described. Fig. 1,3 is a transverse vertical section of the same on the line 13 13 of Fig. 1, the gravity-catch being removed.
Previous to my present invention railwaycar couplings have been principally defective in being of what is known as the vertical type, the construction being such that in case of deraillnent the two coupling-heads can glide vertically past each other and be thus uncoupled or disconnected from each other. As will be seen from the ensuing description, I have produced a coupling which may be termed a horizontal type of coupling, and which is so constructed that the couplingheads cannot possibly pass each other vertically in case of derailment or other accident. It will be further seen that I have produced an automatic coupling mechanism which operates entirely by gravity and the weight of the operative parts of which tends to retain the couplings in connected position and which cannot be easily disordered or otherwise destructively tampered with.
Referring to the drawings, 1 designates the bodies of two railway-cars, said cars being shown as of the box type; but it is to be understood that the cars may be of the passenger, baggage, or of any type of freight-cars without departing from the essential spirit of my invention.
2 designates the draw-bars of the cars, the said draw-bars being of the usual or any preferred type and being shown as supported beneath the ends of the cars by suitable brackets 3. The outer end of each draw-.bar 2 is formed or otherwise provided with a couplinghead 4, the said coupling-head being in the form of a single metal casting, as shown. Each of these coupling-heads is formed with a horizontal cavity or mouth 5,the inner wall of which isv preferably of concave form, as shown. At each side this cavity is closed by a vertical wall 6 and at its top and bottom the head is formed with two horizontal outwardly-projecting jaws 7. The upper side of the upper jaw is formed with a depression 0h95 cavity 8, through the center of which extends a vertical channel 0 for the reception of an ordinary coupling-pin, the bottom of the cavity extending' obliquely downward and outward and the said channel communicating at its lower end with the cavity or mouth of the drawhead. The upper side of the lower jaw 7 is formed with a cavity 10, the bottom of which extends obliquely downward and out- ICO 'Ward and from the middle of which leads a vertical channel 1l,which passes through the said lower jaw and which serves to receive the lower part of the usual couplingpin. Through the upper jaw of the coupling-head is also formed an opening 12, which is located back of the channel 9 and recess 3, above described, and the purpose of which opening will be hereinafter explained. 13 designates a catch, which is shown as o approximately-rectangular form and which at its front end is pivoted in the front part of the recess 15, which is formed in the upper side of the upper jaw of the draw-head by a` pivot-pin l5,which passes transversely through the said jaw and also through an extension 16 of the said catch. This catch is also formed about midway of its length with a vertical channel to receive the usual coupling-pin, and from this channel opens forwardly a second channel 18. In this channel is pivoted a lifting-bar 19, the front end of which embraces a transverse pivot-pin 20, which passes horizontally through the rear end of the catch. This lifting-bar extends through the opening 12, and at its upper or rear end said bar is provided with a longitudinal slot 2l, for a purpose to be hereinafter explained.
Within the opening 12 is located a gravity,- dog 22, which is of elongated form andwhich is of approximately U shape in cross-section, the said dog having a central or body portion and two oppositelydisposed longitudinal flanges at its sides. Through the upper ends of these two flanges extends a longitudinal pivot-pin 23, which passes, also, transversely through the upper jaw of the coupling-head. Near its lower end thelifting-bar 19 is formed with an offset 24, through which extends a pivot-pin 25, said pin passing, also, transversely through the flanges of the dog 22 at a point near their pivot 23. This pin 25 passes -to one side of and somewhat below the piv0t,
pin 23, before described, the arrangement being such that the lweight of the lifting-lever shall constantly tend to depress the outer or free end of the dog 22. The pivot-pin 23 of the dog 22 passes, also, through two lugL 2G, which are formed on opposite sides of the front end of a lifting-link 27. This link 27 is of elongated form, and its rear end is formed with two oppositely-disposed lugs 23, through which passes a transverse pin 29, which also passes through the slot 21 of the lifting-bar 19. To an eye 30 upon the rear end of the link 27 is connected one end of a chain 3l or other suitable flexible connection, which runs beneath a peripherally-grooved pulley 32 upon the front ofthe car-body.
indicated at 34. The arms at theV inner ends of the brackets 33 are preferably of such length as to extend beyond the periphery of armee the pulley 32, and thus protect said pulley against injury by contact with external ob,- jects. The chain or other flexible connection 3l, after passing beneath the pulley 32, is extended upward along the end of the car-body, as shown at 35, and the upper end of this portion 35 reaches to the roof of the car, at which point it carries a ring 36 or other attachment, which can be readily grasped by the operators hands, the said portion 35 preferably passing, also, through suitable eyebolts 37, which are secured to the end of the car-body. To the junction of the upper end of the flexible connection 31 with the lower end of the flexible connection 35 at a point just above the pulley 32 are connected the inner ends of two shorter chains or other suitable flexible connections 38, which pass over two peripherally-groov'ed pulleys 39, which are journaled in the lateral arms of the brackets 33, said flexible connections extending horizontally toward opposite sides of the end of the car-body. The outer ends of the flexible connections 38 are attached to the inner ends of two rods 40, which likewise extend outward toward the opposite sides of the end of the carbody. To the outer ends of the rods 40 are connected the inner ends of two short chains 4l or other suitable iiexible connections 42, which pass over peripherally-grooved pulleys 43 at the front ends of the car-body near its sides, and each of which carries at its outer end a handle 44. The pulleys 43 are each journaled in a horizontal bracket 45, the body portion of which is of approximately U form, and which is bolted or otherwise suitably secured at its ends, as at 46, to the end of the car-body. Each of these brackets 45 is provided with an upwardly-extending arm 47, which is of approximately L form, and the upper end of which is bolted or otherwise suitably secured, as at 48, to the end of the carbody, said arm 47 serving to brace the brackets 45 from above. It is to beobserved that while the sides of the pulleys 32 extend at right angles to the end of the car-body the sides of the pulleys 39 and 43 extend parallel with the ends of said car-body, or, in other words, at right angles to the pulleys 32, the several flexible connections being thus properly guided in their movements.
The operation of the above-described coupling is as follows: Normally when the coupling-heads are not connected the catches 13 are inclined obliquely downward and inward within the cavities of mouths of the couplingheads, so that the lifting-bars 19 andlliftinglinks 27 are retained forwardly and downwardly within the openings 12 of the heads, the dogs 25 lying substantially horizontal. Now as the cars are brought together the upper jaw of one coupling-head enters the cavity or mouth of the opposite coupling-head, and this entering jaw is inclosed above and below by the upper and lower jaws of the companion couplinghead, and also at each side by the side walls 6 of said companion head, the
Sel
IIO
lower jaw of the last-named coupling-head being similarly surrounded by the jaws and side walls of the first-named coupling head. By virtue of this relative position of the parts, should one car be derailed the lowering of its coupling-head relative to the coupling-head of the succeeding car cannot possibly separate said heads, and the lateral swerving of the derailed car is also prevented by `the side walls 6 from separating the two coupling-heads. The front or outer end of the entering upper jaw strikes the catch 13, tilting it inward and upward into approximately horizontal position and pushing the liftingbars and links upward and rearward in their openings 12. The inner ends of the catches 13 drop into the cavities 8 andlO, and, owing to the fact that the bottoms of these cavities incline outward and downward, the inner ends of these catches rest automatically by gravity against the vertical shoulders which are located at the outer ends of the cavities, and said catches thus retain the heads 4E in con nected or coupled condition.
lVhen it is desired to uncouple the cars, the handles t4 are drawn down, or it the operator be upon the tops of the cars the rings 36 are drawn upward, thus lifting the bars 19 and links 27 upward and rearward in their openings 12, and consequently tilting the dogs 25 downward. In their downward movements the free ends of the dogs come into contact with the upper sides of the top and bottom jaws of the coupling-heads, and, owingto the fact that the pivotal connections of the lifting-bars 1t) with the dogs 27 are eccentric to the pivotal connections of said dogs with the coupling-heads, the catches 13 will be raised out of the cavities S and 10, and the cars may be drawn apart.
It will be seen from the above description that I have produced an automatic car-coupling which is simple, durable, strong, and comparatively inexpensive in construction, which is adapted for application to railway-vehicles generally, which can be operated without requiring the entrance of the operator between the cars, and which absolutely prevents all possibility of accidental disconnection of the couplings in the event of derailment or similar accidents.
