Title: Improvements in Automatic Couplings for Railway Vehicles and the like.
Inventor: PAVIA NICOLA
IPC: B61G1/08
Filed: 1909-10-19
Granted: 1910-10-19
Abstract: 24,002. Pavia, N., and Casalis, G. April 5, [Convention date]. Couplings, automatic. - Consists of means for automatically coupling railway vehicles, means for automatically engaging a second or safety coupling, and an automatic tightening -device. The pivoted drawbar 3 has centralizing-springs 4, and also supports a rotatable shaft 16 by the bearings 14, 15. The forked end carries a pin 10 on which is supported a draw-hook 7, a coupling- link 11 which is integral with a flared part 12 forming a guide, and a safety hook 13. The shaft 16 carries two operating-arms 22 worked from the side of the vehicle by chains 31, a counterweight 17, a stepped cam 18, shown in Fig. 4, and a crank 27. These are all fast to the shaft. There is also a curved lever 25, which can rotate loosely about the shaft except when engaged by the crank 27 for the purpose of actuating the link 11 by the chain-link 26. The hook 7 pivots freely about the pin 10. It has two stops 8 and a notch 9, the notch engaging the cam 18. To prepare the vehicle for coupling, one of the levers 28 is pulled towards the side of the vehicle. The counterweight 17 is displaced upwards, and the crank 27 engages the curved part 25, which pulls down the lever 26 and raises the link 11 to an horizontal position. At the same time, the cam 18 is turned and presents a vacant part to the hook 7, which therefore drops into the cavity and locks the cam and the link 11. When the vehicles impinge, the links slide one on the other. The upper link strikes against the stop 8 on the hook 7, which rises and engages it. This action disengages the notch 9 and allows the cam to turn, which, under the influence of the counterweight and the lower link 11, opposes the surfaces 19, 20, 21 in succession to the notch. This being done while the buffers are compressed, the coupling is tightened automatically to a degree dependent upon the relative speed of the vehicles during impact. Releasing the cam 18 frees the hook 25 from the chain-link and allows the lower coupling-link 11 to fall and engage the safety-hook 13 of the opposite vehicle. Uncoupling is performed by pulling on one of the levers 28, which again causes the hook 7 to drop and release the coupling-link. If the levers 28 are made to engage the snugs 30, the vehicles will not couple when impact occurs.
