Description
UN D STATES- PATENT OFFICE,
CHARLES H. BRIGGS, OF BLACK HAWK, COLORADO TERRITORY.
IMPROVEMENT IN CAR-COUPLINGS;
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 174,187, dated February 29, 1876; application filed January 15, 1876.
vertically in opening and closing, so that it will fall and couple self-actingly,'and can be uncoupled from the top of the car or from the side.
Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional elevation of my improved coupling, and Fig. 2 is a top view.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
A is the link, which I construct with a hookhead, B, on the upper side of'each end, and for which I contrive the gravity-catch O in the draw-head behind the hole for the coupling-pin D, thus converting the ordinary linkand-pin coupling into a self-coupler, and at the same time having it'so that it can be used in either way. to a lever, E, on the top of the car for uncoupling therefrom, and it may also be connected with a lever, 1 for Working it from the side.
I am aware that a gravity-catch has been heretofore used in connection with a hookcoupler; but
What I claim. is-
A gravity'catoh, O, hinged on the end of slot in draw-bar and behind the ordinary hole for the coupling-pin, as and for the purpose specified.

ADRIAN MoUsTER, E. O. BEACH.
