Improvements relating to the automatic coupling of railway vehicles

337,290. McKay, E., McKee, D. H., McEwan, D., and Fulton, W. Jan. 14, 1930. Couplings, automatic and non-automatic. - An automatic coupling for railway vehicles also adapted for non- automatic operation comprises a rigid coupling-member 8 suspended from the vehicle at a point intermediate its ends by a radius member 17, a linkage connection 12, 13 between the inner end of the coupling-member and the vehicle, and hand-operated mechanism for swinging the links 12, 13 and thereby thrusting the member 8 upwardly and outwardly as constrained by the radius member 17 to a position above the coupling hook 15 of a second vehicle. Preferably the operating mechanism comprises a transverse rotatable shaft 3 supported in slotted brackets 4 and provided at each end with a hand-lever 25 and at its centre with a cranked portion 5 adapted to bear against the link 13. For non-automatic operation the lever 25 is first swung forwardly to raise the coupling-member 8 above the hook 15 and then slightly backwards to allow the coupling- member to drop. Uncoupling is effected by reversing these movements of the lever or by actuating the coupling-member of the opposed vehicle. For automatic operation, e.g. as in shunting, the shaft 3 is fitted with projections 7 adapted to be engaged by fingers 23 on the buffer stems 21 so that, after the coupling-member has been lifted to a position above the opposed hook, it is automatically caused to drop when the two vehicles are brought together. The coupling- member 8 as shown consists of a rear solid part 11, and intermediate slotted link 10 engaged by the radius member 17 and a forward link 9 adapted to pass over the coacting hook. The pivot 14 for the operating link 13 is mounted on the draw-bar 19, which is capable of sliding against the influence of a spring 20 and carries with it a sliding frame 18 through which the shaft 3 passes.
