In order to tow a rail vehicle equipped with a draw-hook (1) by a vehicle equipped with a shunting coupling, (10), it is necessary to automatically connect the brake air lines (9, 17) of the two vehicles. For this purpose, a coupling device is provided comprising a male (11) and a female component (2). The two components (2, 11) are elastically suspended from the draw-hook (1) and the shunting coupling (10) respectively for axial alignment during coupling and to compensate for transverse movements at the mechanical connection of the shunting coupling (10) and the draw-hook (1). Longitudinal play it, the mechanical connection of the two components is compensated for by means of a hollow piston (14) which is axially displaceable in a bore in the male component (11) and the end of which is held in a cup-shaped mouth (3) of the female component (2) exclusively by the air pressure in the brake air line. <IMAGE> |
