The invention relates to a damping element (7) for a trailer coupling (1) of the kind comprising a coupling eye (2) arranged on a drawbar (3) of a trailer, a coupling mouth (4) arranged on a towing vehicle and adapted to receive the coupling eye (2), and an engage­ment means (5) arranged in the coupling mouth (4) and adapted to releasably engage the coupling eye (2) when the latter is inserted in the coupling mouth (4). The damping element (7) is plate-like and has at least one first supporting portion (8) adapted to bear against a surface in the coupling mouth (4) oriented essentially towards the coupling eye (2), at least one second supporting portion (9) adapted to bear mainly against the upper side of the coupling eye (2), and at least one resilient, yielding portion (11). The resilient, yielding portion (11) is adapted to connect the supporting portions (8, 9) with each other to bridge a distance between the coupling mouth (4) and the coupling eye (2). The invention further relates to a trailer coupling having a damping element as described above. |
