The invention relates to a device (1) for the horizontal re-centering of a coupling shaft, particularly a central buffer coupling of a track-guided vehicle, wherein the device (1) comprises a first rotating body (3) and a second rotating body (4) which is rotatable relative to the first rotating body (3), wherein the device (1) is designed to produce the force necessary to generate a restoring torque acting on the coupling shaft by the rotating of the two rotating bodies (3, 4) relative to each other.

A coupler assembly, arranged at a front end of a vehicle head of a rail vehicle, includes: a coupler mounting base fixed to the vehicle head; a coupler fixedly mounted to the coupler mounting base, and a supporting component provided at each of two sides of the coupler mounting base. The supporting component has a guiding slide way inclined longitudinally, a front end of the guiding slide way is higher than a rear end of the guiding slide way; a sliding component is fixedly provided at each of the two sides of the coupler mounting base, and the sliding component slidably cooperates with the guiding slide way at a respective side; and the coupler assembly is configured such that in an initial state, the coupler mounting base is fixedly connected to the supporting component, and the sliding component is located at a front end of the guiding slide way.

An enclosure system attachable to a railway vehicle to protect automobiles in the event of a collision. The enclosure system having an enclosure panel that is actuatable between a deployed configuration and a stowed configuration. A breakaway mechanism configured to allow certain components of enclosure system to release from the railway vehicle in the event of a collision with another railway vehicle to ensure the anticlimbers engage between the railway vehicles to prevent override. The enclosure system having a coupler centering assembly for maintaining a coupler in a forward position when the enclosure is in the deployed configuration.

A lifting system for rerailing a rail vehicle is particularly suited for rerailing a locomotive. The lifting system has a support profile of an undercarriage structure of the rail vehicle as a lifting point for a rerailing device, the profile support running transversely to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle on a front end of the rail vehicle. It further has a gripping element, which can be lifted and lowered by the lifting device, including two hook-shaped gripping brackets, the hooked profile thereof corresponding to the support profile. The gripping brackets for lifting and lowering the rail vehicle by gripping under the support profile can thereby be symmetrically engaged at the vehicle longitudinal center plane. By this means, a lifting system for rerailing a rail vehicle is provided, in which a frontal lifting device positionable in front of the rail vehicle can be used.
