ABSTRACT:
An anti-rotation device to be mounted on standard glad hands for rail cars for preventing unintended uncoupling of coupled glad hands. The device comprises a band assembly and a wire form. The band assembly is generally comparable to a hose clamp. As disclosed, the band assembly includes orienting features so that it will be circumferentially and axially oriented in an optimum position wherein damage to the band assembly due to a glad hand whipping against a car coupler upon uncoupling is minimized.
