RAILROAD-CAR COUPLING.
speeflcatiqn of Letters Patent No. 26,608, dated December 2v, 185e.
To all whom it may concern:
" Be it known that I, C. NoRrEL, of Newark, Licking county, in the State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful mode of connect ing railroadcars with a coupling that will connect itself by simply pushing the cars together and also disconnect in case a car `gets ott the track or by the breaking of a bridge or culvert prevent that part of the train which remains on the track from being thrown down embankments or chasms and destroy life and property. This self-acting railroad car coupling will disconnect the moment one of the above accidents takes place when in motion; and Ido hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a side elevation, and Fig. 2 is a plan view; Figs. 3, 4c, 5, 6, and 7 details.
I construct a square Haring mouthpiece to receive the coupling bar as shown at, S, Figs. l and 2 in the accompanying drawing, with two jaws A and K attached to it. In the lower one of these jaws I insert a beam B and in the upper one a pin L, which con nects on a hook formed head C on the beam B. Said beam is kept in its place by a pin D and slide E. Said slide I attach to the jaw A at Y, as shown in Fig. 2, and keep in its proper place by a catch W, which I hold with a small spring X, represented in Fig. 7. I also construct two wings G, G, which turn on a hinge at H, and connect them with a slide E at I, as shown in Figs. l, 2, and 6.
By combining the slide E and the two wings G, G, as described I can move the said slide with one or the other of these wings and bring one of the openings F in Fig. 6 to correspond with that and the bea-m B moveon its fulcrum and re- H laX its hold on the pin L. "For making itself` ing sidewise. To accomplish this movement as herein described `I have a shtailed y formed end on the coupling bar Q, which in 1 case a car gets off the track, falling lo'l a bridge or culvert, Soc., will strike `one of the wings G and move the slide E as herein de` scribed; and, lastly,-to keep the `pin L that holds that end ofthe couplingbar Q, that i i; 651@1 connecting the cars I have a wedge set asf i has the short slot from sliding back when shown in Figs. 1, 3, and 4..
What I claim as my invention and desire i i to secure by Letters Patent lis `the arrangef` ment as herein described. 1 i
D for the purposeaforesaid:
e. of the jaw K with the pm L combined fj with the couplingibar Q, andl shtailed end` 3. Of the two wings Gr, Gr, combinedwith li. A; the slide E for the purpose herein described.I
