Patent number: 9828007Abstract: An air hose hanger for supporting flexible air hoses of a trainline braking system of a rail car includes a head including a mounting plate for mounting the hanger to a coupler of a rail car, the mounting plate including first and second apertures for receiving bolts for attaching the mounting plate to the coupler, and an arm removably attached to the head. The arm includes a first arm removably attached to the head extending in a substantially vertical direction away from the head, and a second arm integral with the first arm and extending in a horizontal direction substantially parallel to an axis of the coupler. The head is attached to the coupler at three preformed holes formed in the coupler. The head is attached to the arm via respective connector plates having a mating dove-tail connection for connecting the arm and head together to ensure proper installation.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2016Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: A.

Publication number: 20170030396Abstract: A fastening device includes an insert and an extension bar, where the insert is configured to have a coupling engagement with a bolt so that when coupled together they form a fastener. The insert may include a bolt aperture and an extension aperture. An extension bar may be inserted within the extension aperture to assist with placing and holding the insert into position while the bolt is inserted into the bolt aperture. The bolt and insert may be used to generate a mating engagement between two ancillary structures and fasten them together. While connected to the insert, the extension may be used to assist with maneuvering, positioning, stabilizing and angling the insert to facilitate alignment between the bolt and the bolt aperture. The extension bar may be removed from the extension aperture after the mating engagement is formed.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2015Publication date: February 2, 2017Inventors: Scott D. Miner, Victoria K. Livingston
