Abstract
A catching device for a shunting coupling has a catching body with an end stop, a right-hand side lateral stop, and a left-hand side lateral stop that together form a holding body with an inner region delimited on three sides and an open side. The open side can be closed by a lock and the open side is dimensioned such that a specified shunting coupling can be moved into the inner region through the open side. The catching device has at least one elastic and/or elastically mounted stop element on one of the stops. There is also described a rail vehicle with such a catching device and also a method for locking a shunting coupling.
Claims19
A catching device for a shunting coupling, the catching device comprising:
- a catching body with an end stop, a right-hand-side lateral stop, and a left-hand-side lateral stop, with said end stop and said lateral stops together forming a holding body having an inner region delimited on three sides and having an open side;
- the open side being dimensioned to allow a predefined shunting coupling to be moved into the inner region through the open side;
- a lock configured for selectively locking the open side;
- and
- at least one stop element, being at least one of an elastic stop element or an elastically mounted stop element, disposed on one of said end stop or said lateral stops, said at least one stop element comprising an elastic buffer element which has a modulus of elasticity of greater than 0.05 Gpa and less than 10 Gpa.
