To prevent vertical disengagement of the knuckles of railway car couplers, for example Type "E" couplers, a generally ring shaped elastomeric body is provided for encircling the head of a car coupler and the knuckle of a mating car coupler. Embedded in the body is a reinforcing safety sling in the form of an endless wire cable in a position to overlie this knuckle. Mounting clips also embedded in the body, protrude therefrom and are adapted to be secured to the pivot pin of the coupler.
