Patent GB-190306531-A (GB)
Title: Improved Automatic Double Coupling for Railway Vehicles.
Inventor: KRAUSE MARTIN
Filed: 1903-03-20
Granted: 1903-06-04
Abstract: 6531. Krause, M. March 20. Couplings, automatic. - An automatic double coupling for attachment to a railway vehicle already fitted with the ordinary draw-hook 1, Fig. 2, is formed by an eye 12 mounted on one end of a bar 3 passing loosely through a hole 2 in the book 1, and a coupling-head 4 mounted on the other end of the bar 3. The eye 12 is pivoted on a vertical pin 13 on a holder 5 and is constrained laterally by springs 14. The holder 5 is pivoted on the bar 3 and is supported in a horizontal position by a spring 11, Fig. 1, fixed to a bar 9. The coupling-head 4 is also pivoted to the bar 3 and supported by a similar spring 10. The extreme ends of the bar 3 are supported in oblong holes in side-pieces 6 which are connected together by the bar 9 and are attached at the rear to a cross-piece 7, Fig. 2, mounted on the shank of the draw-hook 1. The side-pieces 6 may also be formed with extensions 28 suitably guided in the underframe. When two vehicles are pushed together, the eye 12 on one enters a flaring mouth 30 on the coupling- head 4 and pushes back a pivoted coupling-piece 18, Fig. 3, until it falls within the eye, thus coupling the vehicles. The coupling-piece 18 is pivoted to a lever 15 and pushed downwards by a spring 20 as far as studs 19 or the end of a slot 31 in the head 4 will allow. The lever 15 is normally locked by a projection 21 on its tail end engaging a catch 24 on a shaft 25 provided with weighted arms 26 for holding it in position. The downward movement of the lever 15 is limited by studs 29, Fig. 3. When it is desired to uncouple the vehicles, the shaft 25 is turned by means of one of two clutch shafts 32, Fig. 2, provided with handles at the sides of the vehicle and with springs 35 for disengaging them. The rotation of the shaft 25 lifts the lever 15, as shown in Fig. 3, by means of a cam 23, and the cam 23 is retained by means of a tooth 21 on the tail of the lever 15 as shown on a larger scale in Fig. 5. The vehicles are then ready for uncoupling. The withdrawal of the eye 12, Fig. 3, from the head 4 turns the lever 15 through a small angle, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 5, thus releasing the cam 23 and allowing the parts to return to their normal position ready for coupling again. The pull of the couplings is transmitted by the bar 3, Fig. 2, to the hook 1, or it may be transmitted through the side-pieces 6 and the cross-piece 7 by making the ends of the bar 3 fit the holes in the pieces 6. The cross-piece 7 is then given sufficient play at the hole 36 to allow the couplings to take an inclined position when passing round curves.
