Patent GB-190400130-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Automatic Couplers for Railway and like Vehicles.
Inventor: WASHBURN EDWIN CHAPIN
Filed: 1904-01-02
Granted: 1904-02-11
Abstract: 130. Washburn, E. C. Jan. 2. Couplings, automatic.-Relates to an arrangement of the locking-dcg of a Janney coupling whereby the coupling of a car or engine is set by hand so as to be free to open, and then to close and lock automatically, and to the provision of a bush for the draw-bar pin, and of handles for drawing the coupling sideways. The head has a hole 18 and a ledge 21, while a locking-part 11 mounted in the hole has a shoulder 15. The knuckle 3 has a portion 4 provided with a cam flange 6. The normal or locking position is shown in Fig. 2. To raise the part 11 and set it for automatic coupling, the finger 25 is turned up by a rod 26. In this movement, the engagements of the finger and of the lower surface of the hole 18 with the part 11 give the latter an initial forward tilt, while a guide flange 20 further ensures a forward locking movement, so that the shoulder 15 is placed upon the ledge 21. The lower portion 11<a> of the part 11 is then in the path of movement of the flange 6, and when the knuckle is subsequently swung into open position, this flange passes under the portion 11<a> raising the shoulder off the ledge. As the coupler nearly reaches its extreme open position, the flange, owing to its eccentricity, passes from under the part 11 and permits it to drop till the shoulder again strikes the ledge. Then, when the knuckle closes in, the part 11, forced backward by the eccentric face of the flange 6 so that the shoulder clears the ledge, drops upon a segmental surface of the portion 4, and when the knuckle reaches the normal position, again drops to the position shown in Fig. 2. The draw-bar pin 9 works in a regular polygonal bushing 10 closely fitting a hole in the shank of the coupler, and when the hole becomes elongated, owing to bumping and draught strains, the bushing may be removed, turned through an angle corresponding to one of its sides, and then replaced so that the slack is taken up. Hand-pieces 29 enable a switch-man to swing the coupler-head in order to make it properly engage with an adjacent coupler.
