Abstract: A central buffer coupling having a coupling head, a coupling shaft and a bearing block attachable to the front face of a car body. The coupling shaft includes a front shaft component supporting the coupling head and a rear shaft component coupled to the bearing block so as to be horizontally pivotable which are pivotable in the horizontal plane relative one another about a rotational axis defined by a connecting pin, and the central buffer coupling further includes a pivoting mechanism to pivot the front shaft component relative the rear shaft component. The pivoting mechanism includes a slotted gate fixedly attached to one of the two shaft components and having a sliding guide, a cam disc rotatably mounted about the rotational axis defined by the connecting pin and having a cam disc guide, and a bolt connecting the one to the other of the two shaft components.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a central buffer coupling (1) having a coupling head (2), a coupling shaft (3) and a bearing block (4) attachable to the front face of a car body, wherein the coupling shaft (3) comprises a front shaft component (5) supporting the coupling head (2) and a rear shaft component (6) coupled to the bearing block (4) so as to be horizontally pivotable which are pivotable in the horizontal plane relative one another about a rotational axis (Z) defined by a connecting pin (7), and wherein the central buffer coupling (1) further comprises a pivoting mechanism (10) to pivot the front shaft component (5) relative the rear shaft component (6).
