JOHN RADDIN, OF LYNN, MASSACHUSETTS.
CAR-COUPLING.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 313,527, dated March 10, 1885.
Application filed April 28, 1884.
To all whom it may concermy Be it known that I, JOHN RADDIN, of Lynn,
in the county of Essex and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in-Oar-Couplings, of which the following is a specification.
The object of my invention is to add to the draw-bar of a car a lever which shall serve as a weight for holding the link in an elevated position ready for connection with the next car. This lever also serves as a support for the lower end of the pin to rest upon when the link is not in position. I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in whicl1 Figure l is a vertical longitudinal section of the draw-bar with the pin and link in position. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same, the pin being held up and the link out. Fig. 3 is a plan View of the lever-weight.
In the drawings, A represents the drawbar, the mouth of which is made in the ordinary manner; but the recess back of the pin is enlarged so as to receive the lever-weight D. This lever-weight D is pivoted at d. The
(No model.)
shape of the lever-weight D is shown in plan in Fig. 3, the front end beinghollowed out and curved, as shown.
The part D, Figs. 1 and 2, is adapted to rest upon the end of the link L and hold it, as shown in Fig. 1. \Vhen the link is out, the weight-lever D falls, as shown in Fig. 2, so that the front end projects forward far enough to receive the end of the pin H and hold it up; but when the link L enters it will throw up the weight-lever D, so that its end will pass out from under the pin and allow it to drop.
I claim Ina car-coupling, the combination of the weight-lever D, the front end of which is hollowed out in horizontal section and curved in vertical section, constructed and pivoted, as shown, with the pin H and link L, all adapted to operate together substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.
JOHN RADDIN.
