CAR-COUPLING.
SPECIFICATION forming part of :fretters` Patent No. 272,009, dated February 6, 1883.
' ApplicationiledDecember14,1882. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, J. THOMPSON WRIGHL a full, clear, and exact description thereof', ref-v erence being hadto the accompanying drawings, and to the letters 'of reference marked thereon, which form part of this specification, in which- I Figure 1 represents a vertical section taken longitudinally through my improved car-conp ling, showing the coupling-pin up and the link about to enter the drawbar. Fig. 2 is a transverse section taken 'verticali y through the vThis invention relates to couplings ferrailroad cars and coaches, whereinlinks and pins are used in combination with bell-mouth drawbars or buffers; and the nature ot' my invention will be fully understood from the following description,when taken in connectionwith the annexed drawings.
A designates a draw-bar, on one end of which is constructed a bell-mouth head, B, adapted to receive a coupling-link, G. The side and bottom walls of the head B are formed entire with the draw-bar A; but the roof or jaw D is movable vertically for the purpose of allowing the coupling-link C to enter the head freely and then to press upon this link, so as to hold it in a horizontal or coupling4 position. The roof or jaw D is inserted between the side walls of the head B and held upon a bearing, g, bymeans of a vertical pin, a', aspring, b, and a pin, b. The spring b will yield and allow the jaw D to rise when the link C enters the head, and then cause it (the jaw D) to confine the link in a horizontal position for coupling with another draw-bar.
E designates the coup1ingpin,which is passed coupling position. This stirrup F is constructed y with a lip, o, at the middle of its length, which is in the median line ofthe draw-head, and which is struck by the" link in the act of making a coupling'. When the stirrup is struck and driven back the pin E will drop down through the link and effect a coupling. A recess,f, is made into the lower side of the jaw D to receive the free end of the stirrup F when I the link is in the drawllead. When the pin E isv fully raised the link can be drawn out of the draw-head, and the stirrup will drop down beneath the-said pin and sustain it elevated.
Having described my invention,what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s i The combination of the drawhead B, the yielding jaw D, the vertical connecting-pin a thereof, the spring b, and pin b', applied to this pin, the gravitating Vcoupling-pin E, and the swinging stirrnp F, pivoted to the said springactuated jaw D, all constructed and adapted to operate substantially in the manner and for the purposes described.
-In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I aftlx my signature in presence of two witnesses.
J THOMPSON WRIGHT.
