  • Coupling and braking device for tow pin driven floor trucks
    Patent number: 4013015
    Abstract: A coupling and braking device for rail supported tow cars driven by means of an underfloor chain, each car having a movable, spring loaded front fender which, upon engagement against a protruding latching device of a stop barrier or of a standing preceding car, executes an energy absorbing motion with a motion component oriented at an angle to the travel direction, making it possible to block the release of the stored energy by means of the latching device. The latter is operatively connected to the movable front fender, moving rearwardly into a protruding activated position, when the fender is deflected.
