This invention relates to trains of wheeled vehicles capable of being moved in either direction without the necessity of reversing the position of the engine relatively to the train, the several vehicles being connected by coupling members which are pivoted to adjacent vehicles and capable of being locked to each rear or successive vehicle.
Claim:
In combination with a train of wheeled vehicles, coupling members between adjacent vehicles, and means for locking a coupling-member to either of its respective vehicles regardless of the relative positions of such vehicles, such means being constructed and arranged to allow a relative movement between a coupling member and the vehicle to which it is locked when said coupling member is on either side of the center line of draft. |
