Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2011162672A1] A coupling arrangement is shown, comprising a drawbar ( 1) and a coupler head (2), which in a rear end is attached to the drawbar and extends in the longitudinal direction of the same to a front end that is arranged to carry a front plate (4) having a guide cone (5) projecting from the surface thereof, which coupler head furthermore houses components (7-10) of a mechanical coupling (6) effective for automatic coupling to the corresponding coupling components in an opposite coupler head of a connecting coupling arrangement. In the extension of the drawbar, an element (20, 22) extends forward through the coupler head toward the guide cone (5), and upon application of a deforming compressive force, the coupler head (2) is arranged to be subjected to an axial compression and/ or a displacement rearward on the drawbar while carrying along the front plate (4) with the result that said element (20, 22) is brought into a thrust force- transmitting relationship to the front plate and is caused to penetrate the front plate.
