Abstract

966,305. Vehicle automatic couplings. J. VIELMETTER. Nov. 25, 1960 [Nov. 26, 1959], No. 40689/60. Heading B7T. A Willison type coupler is provided with a third horn 16 displaceably pivoted at 14 to the head and which in the operative position shown increases the lateral interception range of the head and upon engagement with a major horn of a mating coupler assists in the alignment of the couplers and restrains relative vertical movement therebetween. In the operative position the horn 16 is held from lateral and downward movement by a hook 18. The edge 26 of the horn is disposed in the plane of the surface 20 of the minor horn 22, and the edge 28 is inclined to the surface 20 so as to provide a surface 30 sloping to the vertical. The major horn has guide surfaces 34, 36 and a shoulder 38 which engages the mating horn 16 in the coupled up position. In order to assist mating the head 10 may be swung until the guide surface 20 takes up a position near the longitudinal axis of the vehicle (Fig. 5, not shown).
