the following is a full,
anca sala JAMES A. MORRISON, OF BRADYS BEND, PENNSYLVANIA.
Letters Patent No. 95,711, dated Octoberl 12, 18,69.
mnovnn RAILWAY-cen COUPLING.
VThe Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and mak1ng part of the same.
' To all whom it may concern.:
Be it known that I, J Aires A. MORRISON, of Bradys Bend, in the county of Armstrong, and State of Penn- Sylvania, liaveinvented a newand useful Improvement in Oar-Coupling; and I do hereby declare that clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of thisspecication, in which.`
Figure l is a vertical longitudinal section of my impgoved coupling, taken through the line a: a,
Figure 2 is a top view ofthe same.
Similar letters of reference indicate parts.
My invention has for its object to furnish an improved car-coupling, strong and simple in construction, effective in operation, conveniently operated, and not liable to break or get out. of order; and
It consists in the construction and combination of the various parts of the coupling, as hereinafter more fully described.
A are the ways or slides, inV which` the coupling moves back and forth, and which are securely bolted tosome suitable support.'
B are the main couplings or bumper-heads, which move back and forth upon the slides A, and to'the rear epd of which the rear springs are attached by a bolt,
The movement of the bumpers B, in the slides A, is limited by the plate or bar D, secured inthe rear part of the coupling B, or formed solid therewith, and the ends of which pass through slots in the slides A, as shown in iig. 2.
corresponding The mouth of the bumper Bis madehopper-shaped,
and at therear ofthe shoulder, formed at the base ofthe inclined upper and lower sides of said mouth, are pivoted the forward edges of the plates E, that support the' coupling'- pin F, and resist the draughtstrain.
The inner or rear edges of the plates E rest against the shoulders of the heads of the coupling-pin F, as shown in iig. 1.
Thecentre of the rear part of the lower plates E is recessed to receive the body of the coupling-pin E, so that said pin. may always be at the centre of the coupling.
Asimple in construction,
The plates E are forced against `the pin F, to clamp it securely in place, by coiled or other, springs G, interposed between the outer sides of said plates and the lower and upper surfaces of the-interior or the bumpers B.- v Y To' the rear part of the lower plate E are pivoted the lower ends of two rods H, which pass up through the upper part of the bumper B, and the upper ends of which are pivoted to the rear ends of the levers I.
The levers I are pivoted to supports or short standards, attached to the upper part of thebumper B, and their forward ends rincline toward and are pivoted to the forward part of the central lever J.
The lever J is pivoted. at its rear end to a support or short standard, attached to the upper' part of the bumper B, and to it is pivoted the upper end of the rod K, which passes down through the upper lpart of the bumper B, and its lower end is pivoted tothe rear part of the upper plate E, at or near the.' centre of said rear part.
To the .forward end of the central lever J is pivoted the lower end o f the vrrod-L, which passes up to the platform or top of the car, so that it may be conveuiently reached and operated by the brakeman.
By this construction, by drawing the rod L upward, the plates E will be drawn apart-releasing the coupling-pin F, and uncoupling 'the' cars.
By this construction of the coupling, all the parts that sustain the draught-strain are exposed to a direct straight pull, so that there is no'possibility of breaking the coupling without pulling the solid body of metal apart, and at the same time the coupling is and easily and conveniently operated.
Having ,thus described myinvention, p
-I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters APatentl The combina-tion ofthe rods H and K, levers I and J,,and rod L, with each other and with the bumper B, pivoted plates E, and springs G, substantially as herein shown and described, and for forth.
