Latest Patents

Cozine's most recent patent is for a "Railway car outlet gate assembly with compact inertial latch." This invention features an outlet gate assembly designed for hopper-type railway cars. The assembly includes a frame that can be mounted on the outlet opening of the rail car, along with a gate that operates within the frame. A conventional rack and pinion drive mechanism allows the gate to move between open and closed positions. The unique aspect of this design is the inertial latch mechanism, which secures the gate in the fully closed position. When the opening and closing drive is actuated, it displaces the latch, automatically unlatching the gate. In the event of an impact, an inertial mass applies a latching force to keep the latch closed, preventing the gate from opening unintentionally.
