ORSON KELSEY, OF COMMERCE, MICHIGAN.
Letters Patent No. 92,839, cam July 20, 1869.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ORSON KELSEY, of Commerce,
in the county of Oakland, and State of Michigan, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Car- Coupling; and I do hereby declare that'the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, makinga part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.
Figure 1, of the drawings, is a plan view of my invention.
Figure 2 is a detail.
My invention relates to means for coupling cars; and
It consists mainly in the construction and novel arrangement of devices intended to serve as a reliable and eflicient apparatus for the purpose designated' The letter A, of the drawings, represents the bottom of a car in which my coupling-is arranged, having a cross-bar, B, that divides said bottom into two compartments, as shown.
The letters 0 represent shafts, that are arranged longitudinally in. the car-bottom, and the letter D is a'crank-shaft, arranged in the rear compartment, and
The letter H represents a ring, orcylinder, madein two sections, and surrounded by an India-rubber ring, marked K. This ring H is formed in two sections, to provide for being drawn apart for the passage of the link, and the rubber ring is arranged to operate as a spring, to draw the two sections together after having been thus separated.
The letters a represent metallic plates, aiiixed to the rear ends of the sections of ring H, to serve as rests or shoulders for the coupling-link. I
The letter P represents a solid disk, of India rubber, intended to serve as astop or abutment for the rear end of the coupling-link.
I affix staples, marked 0, to the rear ends of the sections of ring H, and I also arrange pulleys, marked s, to the sides of the frame, as shown.
I, furthermore, make openings through the crankshaft D at the points 11 and y.
I then provide a strong cord, 02, and attach one end thereof to one of the staples c, and pass it around a pulley, s, through the openings 12 and y and the opposite pulley s, and make it secure to the other staple c, in the manner shown on the drawings.
Above the openings 1: and 3 upon the crank-shaft, I make knots in the cord, or otherwise arrange means to prevent the cord from being drawn back and forth therein.
The letterY represents the coupling-link. It is a long, arrow-headed metallic rod, adapted to pass through the openings of cylinders G and H, and to be held firmly by the plates a when the ring K has drawn the sections of the ring H to their places.
My coupler is operated by the crank'h, or suitable gearingconnected with the shaft D.
The arrangement herein described is intended to pr5vide a strong and efiicient lcar-coupler, that shall be permanent and noiseless.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- The car-coupler, herein described and shown, having shafts O and D, rollers E, cylinders G, H, and K, plates a, pulleys 8, disk P, cord n, and link Y, constructed and arranged substantially as specified.
In testimony that I claim the above, I have hereuntosubscribed my name, in the presence of two wit- ORSON KELSEY.
Witnesses:
AARON OYSHTERBANKS, JOSHUA WOQDWARD.
