A railway vehicle, a coupler, and a coupler body thereof. The coupler body comprises an upper traction platform, a lower traction platform, a lock chamber, and a pin hole. A traction surface of an upper traction platform and/or a lower traction platform is divided into a contact area and a yielding area along the direction approaching the lock chamber, an extension face of the end of the contact area close to the lock chamber is an M2 face, and the yielding area is positioned at the side of the M2 face close to the pin hole. The yielding area is positioned on the side of the contact area next to the lock chamber and there is a gap and no contact between the yielding area and a traction platform of a coupler knuckle.

A railroad freight car coupling system utilizing purely mechanical cushioning assemblies at opposed ends of the car. Each cushioning assembly includes an elongated draft gear assembly including two individually operable and axially spaced assemblies for absorbing both buff and draft forces. Each draft gear assembly includes an axially elongated and hollow metal housing with a first open end and a second open end disposed in longitudinally spaced relation relative to each other. The draft gear assembly is provided with first and second spring biased assemblies at opposed open ends of the housing for absorbing, storing and returning energy directed against a railroad freight car with which the draft gear assembly is arranged in operable combination.

A towing hook arranged on a mining machine, with a first end having a bent portion to allow a towing tool to be connected and a second end having a cylindrical rod. An intermediate part is located between the first and the second end. The towing hook is arranged to be mounted in a through hole in a frame of a machine in order for the first and second ends to be positioned on different sides of the machine frame. The intermediate part is mounted partly in the through hole of the frame, and wherein the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical rod is generally parallel with a longitudinal axis defined through the towing hook representing the force transmitting direction when connecting the towing tool to the bent portion.
