Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0501244A1] The automatic coupling for rail vehicles has a line coupling head 1 which is located at the front and can be pressed back in a resilient manner. In order to support the pneumatic sealing support of the line coupling a short-stroke cylinder 5 is provided whose piston 6 is coupled to the line coupling head 1 and whose cylinder body 7 is held so as to be displaceable element relative to the line coupling head 1. When the short-stroke cylinder 5 is subjected to pressure, as a result of the relative displacement of piston rod 8 and cylinder element 7 an angular lever 14 which is rotatably mounted on the cylinder element 7 is rotated in such a way that one of its legs 18 comes to rest from the front against a stop face 20 of the coupling head and thus blocks the cylinder element 7 against rearward displacement. The force resulting from the subjection to pressure medium of the piston 6 is then transmitted as forwardly directed force on the line coupling head 1, as a result of which the pressure and thus the seal of its coupling sealing ring with respect to the corresponding line coupling head is supported. <IMAGE>
