ABSTRACT:
Coupling assemblies for coupling a trailer chassis to the corner castings of a container each include a vertical cone head and coupling pin rotatable and vertically positionable in a stationary tubular extension mounted in a housing, one of which is connected to each of the lateral ends of conventional front and rear chassis bolsters. Each housing includes a guide slot in a wall through which a handle and operating rod projects. As the rod is moved in the slot to pivot the coupling pin from open to lock position, it is rotatable about its axis. The rod includes cam means having stop and camming surfaces which are engageable with projections and surfaces on the lower ends of the stationary tubular extensions within which the coupling pin is movable to selectedly latch the pin in either an open position, a first vertical lock position, to accommodate a certain thickness of the base of a corner casting, and into a second position to accommodate a different thickness of corner casting base.
