ABSTRACT:
A rotary type railroad car coupler is provided with a symmetrical and invertible yoke. A yoke collar, constructed so as to be capable of being reversible, is disposed within a cavity of the yoke. In one preferred embodiment, a pin connecting a shank of the coupler to the yoke collar is positioned so as to be equidistant from both ends of the yoke collar. Thus, as one end of the yoke collar becomes worn, the collar can be reversed. Improved yoke collar service life is obtained.
