Title: Improvements in Car Coupling Mechanism.
Inventor: WILLISON JOHN
IPC: B61G5/04
Filed: 1910-07-15
Granted: 1911-07-13
Abstract: 16,917. Willison, J. July 15. Couplings, automatic, convertible to non-automatic. - The coupling comprises a drawbar with the usual hook coupling, to which the automatic coupling- bar 2 is pivoted by a bolt 4, and means for enabling a single chain to perform all the functions of throwing the automatic coupler in its different positions, and locking it in such positions. The piece 21, is rigidly secured to the bar 2 by bolts 2<a>, 2<b> and carries the bellcrank lever 33 with its arms 33<x> and 33<e>. Loosely pivoted at 5<a> to the drawhook is the arm 31 carrying pulleys 30 over which the chain 29 passes. On winding the chain round the shaft 27, the end 33<e> acts as a fulcrum, and the coupler head is raised, Fig. 6. It is locked in this position by a lever 34, Fig. 8, pivoted to the arm 31 having a hook 34<c> which engages the hub 33<a>. A second lock is formed by the gravity lever 36<a> pivoted at 35. To return the coupler-head to its horizontal position, the chain is paid out until its loop is low enough to engage the gravity-lock lever end 36<d> and is then re-wound on the shaft 27. When the chain is nearly taut, the locking-mechanism becomes released and the weight is thrown without shock on to the chain, which is again paid out. Combined buffer and draw-gear.-The spring case 10, Fig. 1, is adapted to slide to a limited extent over the abutment plate 18 and the follower plate 7, Fig. 7, to allow for lateral displacements. When this happens, the case fulcrums on one of the draught lugs 16 and slides farther back on the follower plate. The spring 8 is thus compressed within the case so that the spring acts to return the parts to their central position. The springs 8, 9, of which the lighter is always in compression, act both as buffing and draught springs. In either case, the springs are compressed.

Casings.-The rear plate B of the casing is attached to the seat or the like, and has a projection B<5> engaging a slot in the front plate A; a spring A<15> engages a flange of the plate B, and must be pressed back by a key K inserted through the coin-slot A<12> before the front plate can be removed. A partition A<6> divides the apparatus into two unequal parts. Delivery mechanism; coin action, mechanicalconnexion.-The packets are stored between the plate B and the upturned flanges A<10> of a plate A<7> secured to the plate A, and are retained by lateral springs A<13>. Between the plates A, A<7> works a pusher C, guided on the flanges A<10>, and having an arm C<1> bearing on the topmost- - packet. The coin is inserted in the slot A<12> and pushed to the left or right according to the column from which it is desired to obtain an article, and comes to rest on the part C<3> of the pusher C, or, if packets have already been delivered from the machine, on the edge of the coin last inserted. The slide E is then pressed in by hand, whereupon its bevelled edge E<2> engages the topmost coin and moves down the coins F, the pusher C, and column of goods D, the bottom packet escaping past the springs A<13> and tilting forward into the delivery tray A<4>. The engaging-edge of the slide may be grooved to prevent worn coins from tipping in the runway. Coin-slit closing-devices.-During the delivery of the last package, the member C<3> engages the end A<3> of the guideway, thereby preventing the full downward movement of the parts, the slide E projecting above the case and acting as an indicator, and the last coin blocking the entrance to the shoot. In this position, the pusher C may operate a member to close the coin-slot. Diverting improper coins. - Small coins are engaged by the portion E<3> of the slide E and pushed laterally through an aperture A<8> in the plate A<7>, whence they pass to the delivery tray A<4>, or they may be retained in the machine. Money boxes.-After inverting the plate A, the coins may be withdrawn through the coinslot A<12> or through the slot that receives the slide E.
