Patent

CA 2197927

An anti-rotation device to be mounted on standard glad hands for rail cars for preventing unintended uncoupling of coupled glad hands. The device comprises a band assembly and a wire form. The band assembly is generally comparable to a hose clamp. As disclosed, the band assembly includes orienting features so that it will be circumferentially and axially oriented in an optimum position wherein damage to the band assembly due to a glad hand whipping against a car coupler upon uncoupling is minimized.

Dispositif antirotation à installer sur des têtes d'accouplement standards de wagons porte-rails pour empêcher le dételage imprévu des têtes d'accouplement. Le dispositif comporte une bande d'accouplement et une cage en broche. La bande d'accouplement se compare généralement à un collier de serrage. Tel qu'il est divulgué, la bande d'accouplement comporte des dispositifs d'orientation de sorte qu'elle sera orientée dans le sens de la circonférence et de l'axe pour être placée dans une position optimale permettant de minimiser les dommages subis par la bande d'accouplement lorsqu'une tête d'accouplement heurte un accrocheur pendant le dételage.
