8 Claims. (Cl. 213-45) Matter enclosed in heavybrackets appears in the original patent but forms no part of this reissue specilication; matter printed in italics indicates the addition made by reissue. f
This invention relates to draft gears for railway cars, and has for its principal object to provide a relatively soft cushioning unit of short travel and low capacity acting in buff and in draft, and a relatively hard long travel cushioning unit of high capacity also acting in bui only and in series with the relatively soft cushioning unit.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will appear as the description is read in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. l is a horizontal section through the draft gear and associated parts;
FIGS. 2 and 3 are cross-sections on the lines 2 2 and 3 3 of FIG. 1 respectively;
FIG, 4 is a diagram giving comparative curves of the two cushioning units and a combination of the two; and
FIG. 5 is a perspective view indicating how the resilient elements or spring elements are made up.
In the drawings, and 11 indicate spaced sills equipped with draft lugs 12 and 13 which together define a conventional draft gear pocket. Associated with those parts is a coupler shank 14 and a draft yoke 15 connected to the coupler shank in any suitable way.
The draft gear includes a housing 16 divided by a partition 17 into a generally rectangular rear chamber 18 (FIG. 2) for the low capacity cushioning unit, and a generally hexagonal front chamber 19 (FIG. 3) for the high capacity cushioning unit. v
The soft, low capacity or rear cushioning unit is made up of resilient elements or spring elements, generally indicated by 20, alternating with spacers. As shown in FIG. 5, each element is made up of a plate 21 of relatively incompressible material (preferably steel W16" S.A.E. 1010 is satisfactory) provided with rows of aligned, spaced openings 22, rubber'bars or mats 23 overlying the rows of openings on each side of the plate are connected by plugs 24; The bars and plugs are of mate` rial such as rubber composition, of suitable durometer hardness, for example 58 to 62. The connection between the bars and the plugs, or one bar and the plugs, is effected by vulcanizing, which may, or may not, also make the bars fast to the steel plates.
lIn making up the soft, low capacity cushioning unit in this embodiment, three resilient or rubber elements, including plates 21 and rubber blocks 23, alternate with steel spacer plates 25, the group or pack having an overall length in excess of the length of the chamber 18 approximately one inch, thus providing a one-inch soft travel low capacity cushion for buff and draft shocks. In use, it is assembled between the partition 17 and a back follower plate 26.
The high capacity long travel cushioning unit or front unit is preferably substantially as disclosed in the patent to Cardwell, 2,496,442 of February 7, 1950. However, in this instance the inner and outer coil springs are shown replaced by a cushioning element composed of tive main rubber springs, generally indicated by 27 in FIG. 1, a1' ternating with spacers 28. Each rubber spring is made up of a plate 32 provided on each side with concentric rubber rings 29 connected by blocks 30 through openings 31 formed in the plate 32.
The remainder of the friction draft gear disclosed in the said Cardwell patent is not here described in detail, but the disclosure in that patent is included by reference in the interest of brevity. Y
The rear follower y216 has a hollow boss 33 which receives the headed .end 42 of the bolt 40 which passes through the friction draft gear and serves to retain the units in assembled relation, as shown in FIG. l.
A front follower 37 is disposed between the coupler shank 14 and the friction cushioning unit and transmits buff loads therebetween. The front follower is limited in its forward travel by abutment with the front draft lugs 13. y
In operation, the soft low'capacity rubber cushioning unit provides one inch travel in all important draft shocks. The action is soft and easy and has plenty of capacity and travel. y
That soft low capacity cushioning unit also provides one inch travel on the rubber in buff. VAny light buing shocks will probably be taken care of mostly by the rubber, though undoubtedly as it reaches the end of its compression the friction will come in play. The two cushioning units acting together provide full three inches of travel in buff, and while light buff shocks are taken principally by the soft low capacity unit there is necessarily a blending, and as the low capacity unit reaches the capacity of limited travel the friction draft gear comes into full play for two inches, or approximately two inches, of capacity.
Generally speaking, the high capacity cushioning unit will be idle until there is a bul shock approaching the capacity or exceeding the capacity of the soft, low cushioning unit. When that occurs, the friction of the high capacity unit will come into play and take care i of the shock.
with inches of travel as abscissa and loads as ordinates.
The characteristic curve of the low capacity cushioning unit indicated at 51 is quite a long curve. The combination of the two is indicated by the curve 52 from which it will appear that the draft gear is softer than friction draft gears when considered as a whole, but has the softness of a rubber draft gear for draft shocks or bud shocks within the capacity of the lowsoft cushioning unit.
Wherever inthe specification and claims the terms hard and soft are employed to describe the cushioning units they should be understood to refer to the cushioning units as a whole and not necessarily to the individual elements thereof. The characteristic load-deflection curve for a relatively hard cushioning unit, of course, shows that for a given increment of load there results only a small deection, whereas `the characteristic load-deflection curve for a relatively soft cushioning unit for a similar increment of load would produce a 'substantially greater deflection.
