The'stem l'8 isflike wisegprovidediwith a stop 37 adapted to en- -v angles to thearms 27 and 28211161 that it be centered on the'said stem and the pivot' of thearm's 27 and'28 sothatthe connection 22 E vmay extend parallel with the 'train pipes f and that this connectionbe attached'directly V to the free encllof the arm24: the operating arm -20; This provides compact arrangement, gives me-along connection between the arms 20 and 24 and the valves are operated immediately upon actuation; of the Operating levers 30 or 31.; It minimizes the.
parts, cheapens the constructionand lessens the liability of damage .orderangement.
With the parts constructed and arranged substantially as hereinbefore described,,theo
operation will be readily understood from the foregoing descriptiomespecially when taken in connection withv the annexeddraw ings. When. occasion may require, the exhaust cock l7is turnedso as to exhaust the air through the port 13 and chamber 15.
It will be noted that b0tl1 'COCkS are simultaneously actuated by the manipulation of the levers and that both cocks will be simultaneously actuated by, movement of either] lever, upon either side of the car. The cocks and their operating'means are all located be- 'neath the car where they are all outof sightv and free from: all liability of injury, yet
easily operatedand reliable and positive in their operation. I y
Modifications in details may be resorted to without departing from the spiritof the in-o vention or sacrificing any of its advantages. What is claimed as new is a 1. Means for simultaneously actuating the cocks of train-line and signal pipes, com-. prising stems attached to said cocks, oppositely disposed arms connected with one of "said stems, an independent arm rigid with said stem extending at substantially fright angles vto the first-named. arms, actuating means forusaid arms projecting to either side of--lthe car,,an ,ar'ni rigid-with, the stem of the other'valve, and a connection between ,C op is of this 'patent zna y be obtained for the last-named arm and -said" right-angled arm and extending substantially parallel with said train-line and signal: pipes.
