Abstract: 11,222. Greenlaw, W. A. May 9. Couplings, disconnectible; overlap joints with inner pipe gripped by packing. - In a trainp i p e connexion, the centre 20, Fig. 2, of the coupling - members 19 normally rest above the horizontal line joining the centres of the rotary joints between the members 19 and the pipe extremities 14. T h e strains incident u p o n normal running therefore tend to lower the centre 20 and lock the coupling. Means are also provided for definitely unlocking the coupling when the cars are to separate completely, as shown in Fig. 3. The members 19 are attached to the pendent pipes 14 by swivelling elbows 18, and have stops which prevent them from falling with their centre 20 below the axes of the elbows. The uncoupling is effected by flexible members 21 attached at 24 to points on the train-pipe normally above the members 19 and at 22 to arms or the like on the elbows 18. The tightening of these, when the cars separate, raise the coupling, as shown, sufficiently to disengage it. The pipes 14 then swing about the ball joints 13 to a vertical position, the chains &c. 21 preventing the members 19 from assuming positions where they are liable to damage. The joint 18, as shown in Fig. 4, comprises a male member 17 recessed externally for the packing 31 and a follower 29 and internally for the inner sleeve 25 of the female member 15, which carries a dust-excluding packing 35. The follower 29 is internally recessed at 33 to receive a ring 31 which rests against the shoulder 27 of the member 17 and is maintained concentric to the member, without making contact therewith, by the packing. The follower is advanced by the nut 30.
