Abstract (en)
[origin: US2007054562A1] The present invention relates to an automatic central buffer coupling ( 1, 1 ') for a multi-membered vehicle, in particular a rail-borne vehicle, having a coupling head ( 3 ) and a signal transmission device ( 2 ) for transmitting electric and/or electronic signals between a first and a second car body. With the objective of integrating a signal transmission device ( 2 ) in the central buffer coupling ( 1 ) which on the one hand is designed to be rugged and compact and, on the other, is based on a system as free as possible from attrition and maintenance, the present invention provides for the signal transmission device ( 2 ) in the central buffer coupling to comprise at least one coupling element ( 5 ) and at least one counter-coupling element ( 5 '), wherein the coupling element ( 5 ) is integrated in a contact plate ( 4 ) of coupling head ( 3 ) of coupling ( 1 ) and the counter-coupling element ( 5 ') is integrated in a contact plate ( 4 ') of coupling head ( 3 ') of counter-coupling ( 1 ') such that the face side of the coupling element ( 5 ) is arranged opposite the face side of the counter-coupling element ( 5 ') integrated in coupling head ( 3 ') of counter-coupling ( 1 ') in the contact plane of coupling heads ( 3, 3 '), and wherein the coupling element ( 5 ) and the counter-coupling element ( 5 ') each have an antenna member ( 6, 6 ') comprising a disc monopole antenna ( 12 ) configured to transmit data in the GHz frequency range.
