Abstract
An arrangement for horizontal central arresting and releasing of an intermediate buffer coupling has a horizontally swingable coupling rod, a guide member at a rear end of the coupling rod and following the swinging of the latter, two rocking levers pivotally mounted on a vehicle and having abutment faces, a roller supported on the guide member and located between the rocking arms so as to abut against their abutment faces, and an actuating device connected with the rocking levers and operative for opening of the latter in the sense of allowing free movement of the intermediate buffer coupling.
Claims7
An arrangement for horizontal central arresting and releasing of an intermediate buffer coupling, particularly for rail vehicles, the arrangement comprising in combination a horizontally swingable coupling rod having a central longitudinal plane and a rear end;
- a guide member provided at said rear end of said coupling rod and following the swinging of the latter;
- two rocking levers each pivotally mounted on a vehicle and having a first abutment face and a second abutment face;
- a roller supported on said guide member and located in said central longitudinal plane of said coupling rod and between said rocking levers so as to abut against said first abutment faces of the latter;
- said guide member being provided with two auxiliary rollers each located at the respective side of said central longitudinal plane and cooperating with a respective one of said second abutment faces;
- and an actuating device connected to said rocking levers and operative for opening of said rocking levers in the sense of allowing free movement of the intermediate buffer coupling.
