An improved railway vehicle coupler head is provided having knuckle pin retaining means which are free to fully rotate with the knuckle pin to enable continuous rotation of the knuckle pin during use. An elastic ring located within a circumferential groove on a bottom portion of the knuckle pin precludes the knuckle pin from unintentional upward removal during use while allowing for continuous rotation therewithin. The continuous rotation of the knuckle pin allows for the distribution of stress about the circumference of a knuckle pin resulting in a longer fatigue life for the knuckle pin.

L'invention porte sur une tête d'attelage améliorée d'un véhicule ferroviaire. La tête comprend des éléments de retenue de l'axe d'attelage qui tournent librement avec ce dernier pour lui permettre de pivoter d'une façon continue pendant son utilisation. Un anneau élastique, placé dans une rainure circulaire sur une partie inférieure de l'axe d'attelage, empêche ce dernier de se détacher accidentellement en remontant vers le haut pendant son utilisation tout en le laissant pivoter de façon continue à l'intérieur de l'anneau. La rotation continue de l'axe d'attelage permet de répartir la tension sur toute la circonférence de ce dernier. Résultat : l'axe présente une plus grande résistance à la fatigue.
