CA 2289302

A connection assembly for use in either an articulated coupling arrangement and/or a slackless drawbar arrangement for connecting together adjacently disposed ends of a pair of railway vehicles in a semi-permanent manner is provided. The connection assembly comprises a spherical member and a modified male connection member wherein the male connection member includes an aperture and a portion of the inner surface of the male connection member formed by this aperture forms a part of the inner surface upon which the spherical member rotates against. The inner surface of the modified male connection member includes a portion which is engageable with a retainer member to hold the spherical member within the aperture of the male connection member. This retainer member also completes a substantially spherical inner surface upon which the spherical member can rotate against enabling the male connection member to rotate with respect to a female connection member or a car connection member in the articulated coupling arrangement or slackless drawbar assembly.
