Abstract

See full text

A linkage articulatedly connects a railcar end portion of a coupling rod to a railcar body. A longitudinal axis of the coupling rod, in the neutral position, coincides with the longitudinal direction of the rail-borne vehicle. The linkage includes a base plate coupled via a bearing to the railcar body. The base plate has a through opening for the coupling rod extending therethrough. A pull/push assembly includes a first supporting element arranged between the base plate and the railcar body and a second supporting element on the side of the base plate facing away from the railcar body. First and second spring units are disposed between the base plate and corresponding ones of the supporting elements. The base plate is mounted in the bearing block to pivot in a horizontal plane transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction.
