Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0446777A1] The invention relates to a coupling for scheduled services, with which a locomotive is coupled, either for shunting work or else for scheduled work, to a carriage equipped either with a coupling hook or a central buffer, release of the coupling from the coupling hook being prevented during scheduled work or shunting work by means of a working cylinder and a locking bolt. Coupling can also be carried out with a carriage which has a structure above the carriage coupling hook which prevents coupling from above. According to the invention (Fig. 1), the lever (3) and the bar (5) are pressed continuously downwards into position (a) against the coupling hook (1) with the aid of the working cylinder (8) and of the locking bolt (10) when the coupling is coupled, the bar (5) being tensioned in such a way that despite the alternating load states, it remains securely on the coupling hook. If a central buffer (2) is to be coupled to a central buffer of a carriage, the bar (5) and the lever (3) are located in a position (e) below the abovementioned position. <IMAGE>
