Patent number: 8297454Abstract: An adapter coupler for adapting couplings of different design has a first connecting mechanism for the releasable connecting of the adapter coupler to a first coupling, a second connecting mechanism for the releasable connecting of the adapter coupler to a second coupling, and a coupler housing to connect the first connecting mechanism to the second connecting mechanism. With the objective of simplifying the manual manipulation of the adapter coupler, it is configured to be of lightweight construction, wherein the coupler housing is formed from fiber composite material, in particular carbon file composite material, and exhibits a shape adapted to an adapter coupler constructed from metal, and wherein the coupler housing exhibits a sturdy fiber architecture relative to the stress loads it experiences.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2010Date of Patent: October 30, 2012Assignee: Voith Patent GmbHInventors: Kay Uwe Kolshorn, Siegfreid Kobert, Dirk Behrens
