Linkage device for a couplings of railway vehicles, the coupling head of which is connected to a drawbar linked to a steering pivot of the railway vehicle, which drawbar is provided with spring elements sitting on it in order to dampen compressive and tensile force that arise, e.g., when coupling the railway vehicle. The spring elements are fastened to a plate that can be rotated about an axis of rotation of the steering pivot. In this way, they are also deflected when the coupling is deflected so that the compressive and tensile forces acting on the latter also act upon its entire surface evenly, even when the coupling is deflected. The linkage device is also provided with overload protection.

A coupling support for a central buffer coupling of a rail vehicle includes first and second holding plates to be secured to the body of the rail vehicle. The coupling support has a base plate and a transverse bar disposed between the holding plates. The transverse bar is resiliently coupled to the base plate and is disposed above the base plate. First and second pivot levers are disposed on the base plate such that the pivot location of each pivot lever is disposed below the transverse bar, and the pivot locations are connected to the base plate. Each upper portion of the pivot levers is connected to the transverse bar by an articulated connection such that a movement of the transverse bar away from the base plate is restricted by the articulated connections and a movement of the transverse bar towards the base is allowed by the articulated connections.

The patent was disclosed a telescopic mechanism in a telescopic hitch buffer device for use in high speed electric multiple unit (EMU) trains. The telescopic mechanism comprises a compression rod (2) located inside a movable housing (1) of said hitch buffer device, one end of said compression rod (2) being connected to the movable housing (1), and a bearing connector (3) encasing the compression rod (2). A guiding barrel (4) is fixedly mounted outside the bearing connector (3). An extension/retraction driving mechanism (9) is provided between the guiding barrel (4) and the movable housing (1). A locking mechanism comprises protrusions (6) distributed at the other end of the compression rod (2), and grooves (7) in engagement with protrusions (6) on the inner wall of the bearing connector (3). One end of the compression rod (2) is connected to the movable housing (1) via a torsion spring (5), keeping the compression rod (2) and the bearing connector (3) in a locked state; an unlocking driving mechanism is provided on the outside of the movable housing (1), and is in an unlocked state when the protrusions (6) face the grooves (7), in which case, the movable housing (1) and the bearing connector (3) can slide relative to each other. Since the extension/retraction driving mechanism (9) is provided inside the movable housing (1), volume is reduced, good protection is provided for respective components, and the telescopic mechanism and the locking mechanism are relatively simple in structure, labor-saving, reliable in operation, and can bear relatively large loads.
