摘要

New rail car hitch, characterized in that it has a narrow profile in comparison with the standardized hitch profile, said hitch including a hitch head having a normalized profile and a hinge pivoting on said head and having a modified normalized profile of such that the pulling face of its end portion is located approximately 1.98 mm. Closer to the abutment surface of said head, said measurement being taken along the longitudinal center line of the hook, and having its portions of loin and of adjacent front face recessed and shaped in the form of a soft convex composite curve constituted by several spokes, said modified profile providing a profile set of approximately 15, 87 mm. Between two coupled couplings equipped with ball joints with said modified profile, this measurement being taken in the longitudinal direction of said hooks, nevertheless obtaining substantially the same degree of horizontal and vertical angle between said coupled couplings, than in two current coupled couplers endowed with a normalized profile.
