Abstract: In a car coupler of the rigid-jawed type, aligning means is provided for substantially increasing the gathering range of the coupler in both lateral and angular directions during coupling operations. In addition, the coupler is provided with anti-telescoping protection in a vertical direction between two coupled couplers.
Abstract: A cushioning pad is provided in the form of a plate member having a cushion of resilient material secured to at least one side of the plate, the cushion having novel dowel and recess means for cooperating with the recess and dowel of an adjacent similar pad to facilitate accurate gathering and alignment of a group or stack of such pads.
Abstract: A knuckle type railway car coupler is provided with an improved lock within the coupler head to assure that during a knuckle closing operation the coupler lock will drop from an upper unlocking position to full locking position relative to the knuckle.
Abstract: This invention relates to a railway car coupler of the knuckle type and provides an improvement in the operation of a standard E coupler during a coupling operation. In particular, it concerns the provision of a lock lifter toggle which will assure dropping of the lock to its final locking relation with the coupler knuckle when the knuckle is closed during a coupling operation.
