Abstract: A RAILWAY CAR HAVING AN OPEN-ENDED SILL THROUGH WHICH BUFF AND DRAFT FORCES ARE TRANSMITTED TO THE CAR AND INCLUDING A BUFF-AND FORCE-CUSHIONING UNIT WHICH IS CAPABLE OF BEING INSTALLED AND REMOVED FROM THE END OF THE SILL. T HE SILL INCLUDES A CONNECTOR STRUCTURE WHICH RETAINS A PAIR OF REMOVABLE DRAFT LUGS IN POSITION FOR DRAFT CONTACT WITH DRAFT STOP SHOULDERS FORMED ON THE CUSHIONING UNIT. THE REMOVABLE DRAFT LUGS
COOPERATE WITH THE DRAFT STOP SHOULDERS TO ACHIEVE POSITIVE CENTERING OF THE CUSHIONING UNIT WITHIN THE SILL AND ALSO TO SERVE AS RETAINING MEANS FOR A COUPLER KEY ESTABLISHING CONNECTION BETWEEN THE CUSHIONING UNIT AND A RAILWAY CAR COUPLER.-

Abstract: A railway car construction according to the present invention, includes an underframe having a longitudinally disposed center sill that is of hollow construction and has a transverse structural wall spaced from the extremity thereof. An aperture is formed in the transverse structural wall and receives a connecting member of a primary cushioning mechanism disposed within the center sill outwardly of the transverse structural wall. A draft cushioning mechanism is disposed within the center sill inwardly of the transverse structural wall and is secured to the connecting member. The draft cushioning mechanism functions only to cushion draft loads that are applied to the primary cushioning mechanism. Draft stops are retained in assembly with the center sill to limit compression of the draft-cushioning mechanism and to transfer excessive draft forces directly into the center sill structure.
