Buffer, in particular for a rail vehicle, includes a buffer sleeve, forming a pressure chamber, a jointed head securable to this sleeve on the face side by a connection flange, and a buffer piston rod, mounted opposite in the buffer sleeve to be displaceable longitudinally. The jointed head is connectable in a jointed manner to the rail vehicle, while the buffer piston rod is preferably connectable to a coupling head. The connection flange has an outer thread on its outer casing, screwed to an inner thread in a hole of the buffer sleeve to form a releasable connection of the jointed head with the buffer sleeve. The connection flange preferably has on the front side a centering tip element before the outer thread, which is slid or pressed essentially free of play into the hole of the buffer sleeve.

A telescoping uncoupling lever assembly including a first lever, a hook connected to the first lever, a second lever, a handle connected to the second lever, and a third lever including a plurality of first lever connectors, a plurality of first glides bonded to the respective interior surfaces of the first lever connectors for engagement with the first lever, a plurality of second lever connectors, and a plurality of second glides bonded to the respective interior surfaces of the second lever connectors for engagement with the second lever.

The invention relates to a coupling arrangement for a rail vehicle that includes a coupling rod which extends along a longitudinal axis, a bearing bracket to which the coupling rod is connected at a second axial end, a bearing between the bearing bracket and the coupling rod, and a support structure which elastically supports the coupling rod in relation to the movement in the vertical direction. The support structure is positioned in the vertical direction at least predominantly level with the bearing bracket and/or with the coupling rod in a manner substantially coaxial with respect to the longitudinal axis.

A yoke assembly includes an outer housing having opposite front and rear ends and can define an interior chamber between the front end and the rear end. The yoke assembly also can include a guiding sliding bushing disposed in the interior chamber of the outer housing, a guide rod extending through the interior chamber of the outer housing and through the guiding sliding bushing, a bumper assembly coupled with one end of the guide rod, and an elastomeric body and/or a resilient body disposed within the outer housing between the guiding sliding bushing and the rear end of the outer housing. The bumper assembly can be positioned to be engaged by a mechanical head of a first coupler system of a first vehicle to position a first hook of the first coupler system for coupling with a second hook of a second coupler system of a second vehicle.
