An improvement to a collapsible stanchion on a railcar for supporting semi- trailers thereon. The improvement consists of a linkage which is activated by the pulling of a handle away from the stanchion during the operation of raising it from a resting position to an upright position. The linkage exerts a force on a diagonal support member of the stanchion to urge it into a position where the stanchion's locking mechanism may be engaged to lock the stanchion in an upright position.

Il s'agit d'une amélioration apportée à un rancher de véhicule de chemin de fer destiné à supporter des semi-remorques. L'amélioration consiste en une tringlerie actionnée par la traction d'une poignée en l'éloignant du rancher lors de son élévation, de la position de repos à la position verticale. La tringlerie exerce une force sur un élément de support en diagonale du rancher pour le pousser dans une position permettant d'engager le mécanisme de verrouillage dudit rancher, afin de le verrouiller en position verticale.
