TWO COUPLED VEHICLES, SUCH AS RAIL VEHICLES OR ARTICULATED BUSES, WITH A CONNECTION WITH AT LEAST ONE BELLOW AS WELL AS A COUPLING DEVICE UNDERSTANDING TWO COUPLING ELEMENTS

摘要

two coupled vehicles, such as rail vehicles or articulated buses, with a connection with at least one bellows as well as a coupling device comprising two coupling elements. the invention relates to two coupled vehicles (1), such as rail vehicles or articulated buses, with a connection with at least one bellows (2) as well as a coupling device comprising two coupling structures (4, -5) , said coupling structures (4, 5) comprising male and female plug-in coupling elements (10, 15), a locking element (30) being provided to lock the male coupling elements (15) respectively in the female elements of coupling (10), said locking element (30) being slidably guided by the respective locking element (4, 5), said locking element (30) communicating with a force transmission element (9) which is slidingly guided in the respective structure of the coupling structures (4, 5), the force transmission element (9) transmitting both tensile and shear forces.
