JOHN H. YOUNG, OF COLORADO CITY, COLORADO. BEARING-BRACKET FOR UNCOUPLlNG-LEVERS Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed April 21, 1906. seriaii'ro. 312,994.
Patented Oct. 9, 1906.
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JoHN H. YOUNG, a citizen of the United States, residing at Colorado City, in the county of El Paso and State of Colorado, have invented new and useful Improvements in Bearing-Brackets for Uncoupling-Levere, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to bearing-brackets for uncouplinglevers, the object of the invention being to provide simple means whereby the uncoupling-lever on a car may be readily removed when broken, bent, or injured and readily replaced by another lever without the necessity ofremoving the bearings which hold the lever in its operative position.
With the above general object in view the invention consists in the novel construction, combination, and arrangement of parts herein fully described, illustrated, and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of one end of a car, showing the invention applied thereto. Fig. 2 is an enlarged elevation of the improved bearing-bracket. Fig. 3 is a side or edge view of the same. Fig. 4 is a top planview thereof.
Referring to the drawings, 1 designates an ordinary railway-car having the usual drawbar 2, provided with a coupling 3, 4 designating the coupling pin, which is movable vertically into and out of engagement with the shank or tailpiece of the knuckle 5 for locking and unlocking the latter.
The usual form of pin-lifting lever comprises the rock-shaft or journal portion 6, the pin-liftinglever arm 7, extending outward from one end thereofand connected by a chain ling-pin 4, and the hand-manipulated pinift lever, (properly indicated at 9,) which is usually located near the end of the car-sill, as shown in Fig. 1. Adjacent to its inner end the shaft portion 6 of the lever is mounted in a bearing 10, the. opening of which is sufficiently large to allow the pin-,
lift lever as a whole to-be removed therefrom. Adjacent to its outer end the shaft portion 6 of the lever is supported by and j ournaled in the bearing-bracket, which forms the subject-matter of this invention. This bracket 1 embodies a base 11, provided with holes 12 to receive fasteners, by which the bracket is secured to the end of the car. outward from the base near the lower portion thereof is a pair of lugs 13, between which is mounted on a pivot 14 the lower end Extending pivotal oint.
In side elevation the movable member 15 resembles the letter C, and the upper end thereof is provided with an opening to receive a removable retainer-pin 16, which passes through a pair of lugs 17, extending outward from the upper portion of the base 11, the upper end of the member 15 fitting between the lugs 17 and being held by the pin 16, the shank or end portion of which is preferably split, as shown at 18, so that such end may be spread to prevent the pin from escaping. The inner surface of the member 15 is rounded out, as shown at 19, to form a bearing for the shaft portion 6 of the lever, and said shaft portion 6 has an extra bearing or a rest or stationary support 20, which extends outward from the base 11 and has its upper surface dished or concaved to conform to the surface of the shaft portion 6, as clearly shown in Fig. 3.
When the pin-lift lever becomes broken or injured and unfit for further use, the pin 16 is removed, which frees the movable section 15 and the corresponding end of the pin-lift lever, which is then removed by sliding the same through the loose bearing 10. A new lever is inserted in the same manner, and it will be noted that the stationary support 20 forms a rest for the outer end of said lever while the attendant is moving the section 15 back to place to confine the lever and inserting the retainer-pin 16 inits proper place to fasten the movable section 15.
I olaim- The combination with the journal portion of a pin-lift lever, of a bearing-bracket embodyingafixed base a movable section adapted to open up the bearing to release and admit said ournal portion, retaining means for the movable section, and a flange projecting outward from the base and forming a fixed bearing member and a rest for supporting the lever during the movement of the movable section of the bearing-bracket.
In testimony whereof I afiiX my signature in presence of two witnesses.
JOHN H. YOUNG.
