Japanese Patent JPS5143645
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
This invention relates to an automatic air hose connector for use on railway cars. This hose connector has a mating head which is provided with a removable hose nipple that has a hose secured to one end and a hose coupling formed on the other. When two adjacent cars, each having an automatic air hose connector, are coupled, while the nipples remain secured to the mating heads, the gaskets carried in the end of each hose coupling are moved into abutting relationship one with the other to form a seal therebetween so that a continuous conduit extends from one car to the other. Prior to coupling a car having an automatic air hose connector to a car without such a connector, the hose nipple is removed from the mating head so that, subsequent to the coupling of the cars, the hose coupling formed on the end of the nipple can be manually coupled to the hose coupling on the end of the hose at the adjacent end of the car without an automatic air hose connector to thereby form a continuous conduit from one car to the other.
