The patent was disclosed a telescopic mechanism in a telescopic hitch buffer device for use in high speed electric multiple unit (EMU) trains. The telescopic mechanism comprises a compression rod (2) located inside a movable housing (1) of said hitch buffer device, one end of said compression rod (2) being connected to the movable housing (1), and a bearing connector (3) encasing the compression rod (2). A guiding barrel (4) is fixedly mounted outside the bearing connector (3). An extension/retraction driving mechanism (9) is provided between the guiding barrel (4) and the movable housing (1). A locking mechanism comprises protrusions (6) distributed at the other end of the compression rod (2), and grooves (7) in engagement with protrusions (6) on the inner wall of the bearing connector (3). One end of the compression rod (2) is connected to the movable housing (1) via a torsion spring (5), keeping the compression rod (2) and the bearing connector (3) in a locked state; an unlocking driving mechanism is provided on the outside of the movable housing (1), and is in an unlocked state when the protrusions (6) face the grooves (7), in which case, the movable housing (1) and the bearing connector (3) can slide relative to each other. Since the extension/retraction driving mechanism (9) is provided inside the movable housing (1), volume is reduced, good protection is provided for respective components, and the telescopic mechanism and the locking mechanism are relatively simple in structure, labor-saving, reliable in operation, and can bear relatively large loads. |

A coupling mechanism for use on a railcar moving vehicle designed to couple with European-type railway cars having an end sill at each end of the car which supports a centrally disposed draft hook and a pair of buffers mounted one at each end of the end sill, the coupling mechanism including a casting which moves laterally on a plurality of rollers, a crossbar or lifting beam carried on the end of the casting and pivotal relative thereto about a vertical axis, a pair of lifting forks carried on the respective ends of the crossbar, and a pair of buffer plates carried at opposite ends of the crossbar and positioned to push against corresponding buffers on a railway car. The coupling mechanism also includes a sensing device which controls lateral movement of the casting during a pushing or pulling operation in accordance with relative lateral movement of the railcar end sill and buffers. |

A railroad car moving vehicle has a main frame on which are mounted front and rear axles with steel wheels for engaging the railroad track. Front and rear coupler assemblies have a set of coupler arms with a cross rail member extending between one end of the arms. A coupler is reciprocally mounted on the cross rail member and adapted for coupling with the railroad car. The other ends of the coupler arms are rotatably mounted on a pivot shaft supported by the main frame. The pivot shaft extends between opposed sides of the main frame at its center line. Each set of front and rear coupler arms are mounted on a common pivot shaft such that the horizontal portion of any shock load imparted to one coupler will pass directly through the pivot shaft to the other coupler and not to the main frame. Each end of the pivot member is supported by an isolator assembly. Each isolator assembly is mounted on the main frame and includes a resilient mount. The resilient mount absorbs and dampens any shock load imparted to the coupler assemblies and thus reduces the shock load and vibration on the main frame of the vehicle. |

A yoke for a railway car coupler assembly includes a yoke body having a generally rectangular front portion. A central opening provided in the front portion extends longitudinally therethrough. A pair of opposed first and second straps extend rearwardly from the front portion and are connected by a bridge portion. The side walls of the front portion are tapered inwardly toward the bridge portion to accommodate a striker having thickened side walls. Also, recessed portions are provided in the yoke central opening to accommodate the shank of a strengthened coupler. A bearing pad provided on the yoke bridge portion has relieved areas to prolong the service life of the yoke. |

A device for coupling and uncoupling two parts which are movable relative to each other, particularly parts of the drives of vehicles, for instance for high-speed power vehicles, by means of a length-variable guide rod. On the tubular guide rod segment there is arranged a housing having a cylinder chamber in which the cylindrical part of the axially shiftable guide rod segment extends, this cylindrical part being provided with engaging portions for annular pistons which surround it. Two annular pistons are supports for a preloaded coil spring arranged therebetween, and upon pulling or compressive force, one of the spring-loaded annular pistons, depending upon the direction of force, is axially shifted against the preloaded coil spring by the corresponding engaging portion of the cylindrical rod part of the guide rod segment. At least one spring-loaded annular piston can be acted upon by pressure medium introduced into the cylinder chamber through an associated connection, and can be fixed in its acted-upon end position by means of a locking device located on the housing, with the guide rod segment being axially free, or shiftable at a lower force level, relative to the fixed annular piston by a given distance. The annular piston which is securely held by the locking device, after cancelling the positive connection and discharging the pressure medium from the cylinder chamber, is returned to its starting position by the pressure of the coil spring. |

Stabilizing apparatus for preventing derailment of moving railway cars is provided. The apparatus includes a plurality of interconnected elongated members that overlie and are secured to a string of coupled cars. In the preferred embodiment, the elongated members are automatically connected at their ends by interengageable coupling members. The elongated members include cables that act as vibration dampers to prevent swaying and rolling motion of the cars on uneven track. The coupling members are specially configured to prevent a chain-reaction derailment of all the cars if one car derails. |

A conveyor system comprising a motor power unit, a load carrier and a track along which the motor power unit and the load carrier can move. A vacuum pad is mounted on the motor power unit and extends rearwardly and a vacuum power unit is mounted on said motor power unit for applying vacuum to the vacuum pad. A plate is mounted on and extends forwardly of the load carrier and is adapted to be engaged by the vacuum pad whereby when the vacuum pad engages the plate and is activated a coupling is provided between the motor power unit and said load carrier so that the motor power unit will move the load carrier along the track in either direction. |
