Abstract
A rail car coupler, with the shaft thereof bearing against a coupler carrier, is adjusted vertically by means of serrated lock plates intermeshing with similarly serrated coupler carrier brackets. Vertically spaced fastener openings in the lock plates are so disposed relative to the teeth of the serrations thereof as to permit relative adjustment of the brackets equal to the size of a tooth of the serrations while the lock plates are in a first position. And the lock plates permit a fine adjustment of the brackets upon relative movement thereof equal to one-half the size of a tooth of the serrations when the lock plates in one embodiment are inverted 180.degree. into a second position relative to the first position thereof. In another embodiment, such fine adjustment is effected as the brackets and the coupler carrier are inverted into a second position relative to a first position thereof. The lock plates in this embodiment are fixedly secured in place.
