Abstract
1,056,340. Railway vehicle coupling support gear. SOC. ANON. USINES EMILE HENRICOT. Oct. 5, 1964 [Oct. 22, 1963], No. 40449/64. Heading B7T. A coupler 6, Fig. 4, having a draw-bar 15 is supported by a lever 1 pivotally connected at 7 to the bar 15, by a lever 2 pivoted to the lever 1 at 3 and connected to a member 17 fixed to the vehicle frame 18, and by a spring or springs 4 pre-compressed and held between platens 12, 13 by a threaded rod 10 pivoted to the lever 1 at 9 and mounting adjusting nuts 29, 30, Fig. 3, the lever 2 normally bearing against knuckle bearings 11 fixed to the member 17. In operation, a downward force on the coupler 6 as in Fig. 4, causes the levers 1 and 2 to approach more closely together and thus pull on the rod 10. As the platen 12 is integral with the lever 2 then the platen 13 is moved by the rod 10 to compress the springs 4 and produce an upward recentralizing movement on the lever 1 and coupler. If the force on the coupler 6 is upwards, then the levers 1 and 2 tend to move apart and the removable bush 19 on the lever 2 is moved away from the knuckles 11, Fig. 5, at the same time the rod 10 is pushed to cause the platen 13 to move away from the platen 12 and relieve the compression on the springs 4. When the raising force is removed the coupler 6 lowers to its median position, Fig. 2 (not shown). Journal members 22, 23 extending from the bush 19 are guided in openings 24 in the member 17 and prevent the lever 2 from falling when the support returns to its mid-position When the whole gear is in operation swing to one side or the other, Fig. 9, the bush 19 rocks on one of the knuckles 11 and the support system is unbalanced. The axis of the pivot-pin through the draw-bar 15 is however arranged to slope slightly to the vertical so that a re-centralizing force is applied to the coupler when the side swinging force is removed. The longitudinal axis of the drawbar may be adjusted by moving the nuts on the threaded rods through the platens.
