<p>A mechanical coupling is disclosed, particularly a mechanical coupling in a draftgear in rail vehicles, comprising a central plate (5) turnably mounted in a coupler head and having a link (7) pivoted in the same, and including a hooking mechanism for detachable hooking up of the central plate and the link in the non coupled position of the coupling, as well as including a releasing device (10) for the automatic detachment of the hooking mechanism upon coupling, wherein the hooking mechanism comprises a hooking rod (12) pivotally connected with the central plate, which rod, by a lug (16), clutches a collar (11) arranged in the coupler head and, upon activation of the releasing device, is detached from said collar. A leaf spring (13) is arranged in the coupler head in order to, in abutment against the hooking rod (12), force the same, under the bias from the spring, to be pressed against the collar (11) in the hooked up as well as the disengaged position.</p> |
