Description
W. C. JOHNSON. RAILWAY GAR COUPLING.
No. 97,410. Patented Nov. 30, 1869.
H &
AND AARON JOHNS 0N, QF SAME PLACE.
Letters Patent No. 97,410, dated November 30, 1869.
' IMPROVED RAILWAY-CAR COUPLING.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making of the Same.
, description thereof, relhreuce being had to the aceoln panyingdrawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification.v
The nature of this invention consists in the construction and arrangement of a device for counling cars, as will be hereinafter set forth.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of my coupling, part of which is represented in sect-ion, so as to show the in ternal arrangements. I
Figure 2 is a vertical section of the same.
Figures 3 and L are views of the coupling-links.
Letter A represents the bumpers, each of which has a slide, B, secured in its top, so that it can move freely back and forth, the outer ends of which extend out beyond theofrontend of the bumpers.
{Secured to the rearend of the slide is an arm or stop, 0, which is placedvertically inside the bumper, and has a tenon formed upon each end, so thatlit can move back and forth, with the slides B, in slots or recesses formed in the bumpers.
Bearing against the back of these arms, there is a spring, I), which throws the slide forward again, after it has been moved back, either by the coupling-links, or by the contact of the cars.
\Vhcn the slides are moved forward, the pins G, which areiinscrted from the top, rest upon their tops,
until the cars come in contact, when the slides'arc moved back, allowing the pins to drop down through the holes in the bumper, coupling the cars together by means of the links v \Vhen one car is higher than another, a bent link can-he used, (such as is seen 'in fig. 4,) one end of which extends downward, which will serve to equalize the. heights, and which can be used as readily-as the straight ones.
The coupling-pins G should be provided with a tolerably heavy head, so as tocanso it to fall the more readily when the slide is moved back, and to also assist in causing it to. retain an'upright position while resting upon the top-of the slide.
Should thelinks be short, the slides will strike together, moving each other back, or, should the link be sufiiciently long, the ends, striking against the arm 0, will move the slides back in the same manner.
' Having thus described my invention,
What I plaim and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-. l I e 1. The slides B, moving back and forth in the top ofthe bumpers, and having iheirfront ends extending out beyond the bumpers, asdcscribed, in combination with the arIusO, when usedsubstantially as set filrth.
2. 'In combination with the slides 15 and arms'C, the spring D, when used substantially as shown.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing, I have hereunto set my hand, this 29th day of June, 1361).
WILLIAM C. JOHNSON.
