PLUG ELEMENT FOR CONNECTING SUPPLY LINES FOR VEHICLE PARTS

摘要

A plug element (1) for connecting supply lines of an articulated train with at least one line element (3) comprising a fluid contact (4) formed thereon located in the housing (2) of said train, said fluid contact able to be brought into functional engagement with a second plug element (5). The object of the invention was to provide a plug element (1) that remains in an operationally safe position without the pre-stressing force of a spring element (11 a, 11 b). The object is met according to the invention by a plug element (1) in which the housing (2) can be moved laterally relative to a connection socket (6) that is fixed in space and the cross sectional area (A D1, A D2) for pressurization of the line element (3) is configured such that upon impingement with compressed air a force acts in the direction of insertion (8).
