ABSTRACT:
A claw coupling for toy model trains includes a coupling support head having a hook and a claw along with a pivotal support pivotably mounting the claw on the coupling support head for movement between a coupled and an uncoupled position. A decoupling pin depends from the claw, and the coupling support head has an opening in which the decoupling pin is received, the decoupling pin being engageable by a decoupling rail to raise and pivot the pin in the opening. The claw has two arms disposed generally at right angles to one another, one of the arms having the aforementioned hook, the other arm having the aforementioned depending decoupling pin. The coupling support head has a mandrel operable to be disposed in a position juxtaposed to the other of said arms of a claw of another like coupling to preclude the last said claw from pivoting to a decoupling position. The pivotal support includes a pivot pin extending from the claw and a hole in the coupling support head in which the pivot pin is received, the hole having at least a partial conical surface to prevent the pivot pin from being wedged in the hole as the pin is moved axially in the hole.
