Abstract: A device for connecting a coupling shaft to a car body of a track-guided vehicle, wherein the device includes a linkage connected to the coupling shaft and a bearing block connectable to the car body to which the linkage is articulated by means of at least one pivot pin so as to be pivotable in a horizontal plane. At least one pivot pin is designed as a shock protector and thereto comprises a bearing disc having a concentrically arranged recess and a shearing element having a breaking or separating region. A bearing block-side region of the shearing element is accommodated in the recess of the bearing disc and a linkage-side region of the shearing element is accommodated in a pin seat of the linkage.

Abstract: The invention relates to an energy dissipation device (100) for a multi-member vehicle, a rail-mounted vehicle in particular, comprising a first end plate (10), a second end plate (20) and an energy dissipation element (30) in the form of a hollow body extending in the longitudinal direction (L) of the energy dissipation device (100) and arranged between the first and the second end plate (10, 20), whereby to prescribe the formation of folds for the energy dissipation element (30) upon activation of the energy dissipation device (100), said energy dissipation element (30) comprises a response trigger in the form of a fold/bulge area (33, 33?) extending peripherally at least partly around the periphery of the hollow body.
