ABSTRACT:
A coupler mount assembly 14 includes an open-side box to which may be secured a housing 10 of an item of electronics or other equipment. A first jaw member including upper and lower, parallel hooks 54A, 54B and a second jaw member including upper and lower, parallel hooks 58A, 58B are supported by the open-sided box for relative translative movement. To install the coupler mount assembly on the coupler 12 of a railway vehicle, the hooks of the first jaw member are inserted through respective relief holes 84A, 84B in coupler side wall 12A and the hooks of the second jaw member are inserted through respective relief holes 86A, 86B in the coupler side wall. The first and second jaw members are then drawn toward each other by rotation of a rod (through a handle 66) passing through and effectively bearing on the first jaw member and threadedly received in the second jaw member, until the hooks thereof clamp an intermediate portion of the coupler side wall between the relief hole pairs. The open-sided box has flanges 88 and 90, with flange 88 having spaced-apart projections 88A and 88B engaging the coupler side wall adjacent the coupler tip and with flange 90 having projection 90A engaging the coupler side wall at the intermediate portion thereof, to prevent transverse rocking of the coupler mount assembly and to achieve a desired vertical orientation of the housing.
