Granted: 1904-06-09
Abstract: 10,993. Burger, C. May 12, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Couplings, automatic.-The coupling is shown in plan in Fig. 1 and in end view in Fig. 3. The coupling-bar a has double forked ends c, d, one c of which carries a star-wheel e, or its equivalent, prevented from rotating by the end 12 of the lever h, normally held in between the lips d by the weighted lever l. The elbow-levers q pivoted at p carry a cross-bolt r, which, on the approach of two vehicles, effects the coupling by entering between the limbs c, d and rotating the star-wheel against the pressure of the lever h and weight j. Withdrawal is prevented by the abutment of an arm of the wheel on the lever h. Disconnection is effected by a chain attiched at o to the lever l, which, on being raised, engages the pin n and so swings out the locking-lever h. For use with ordinary stock, the bar a and mounting-box tare rotated through 90‹ by the handle v on the front plate u, and locked by a catch w, as shown in Fig. 4. The star-wheel, locked by a bolt x, engages the loop y of the screw coupling, and an emergency coupling is formed by the engagement of the bolt r with the hook z. For traversing large curves, the elbows q are retained by bolts in slots 3, and, for smaller curves, their shorter ends 2 are supported between springs on the fork a, which, while allowing great angular motion, always restores them to the central position. Or, the ends 2 may themselves act as restoring-springs, Fig. 6, tending to press rollers into the angles of the V -grooves 10 in the bar a. The coupling may be strained by turning, by bevel gearing &c., a nut secured to the car frame, and engaging the threaded end of the bar a, or the rear end of the bar a may be combined with buffer springs at the inner side of the car frame.
