Abstract
This invention relates to a railway car coupler of the knuckle type and provides an improvement in the operation of a standard E coupler during a coupling operation. In particular, it concerns the provision of a lock lifter toggle which will assure dropping of the lock to its final locking relation with the coupler knuckle when the knuckle is closed during a coupling operation.
