Abstract
Described are an optical signal coupling for two vehicles coupled with one another and a conductive coupling which contains such a signal coupling. The signal coupling has a first and a second coupling part each of which is carried by a respective one of the vehicles and between which the optical signals are transmitted. The first coupling part contains a sending device which creates the optical signals to be transmitted, and the second coupling part contains a receiving device which detects the transmitted optical signals.
Claims19
An optical signal coupling for two vehicles coupled with one another, especially rail vehicles coupled with one another, with a first coupling part fixed to one vehicle and a second coupling part fixed to the other vehicle, between which optical signals are transmitted, characterized in that the first coupling part contains a sending device which creates the optical signals to be transmitted, and the second coupling part contains a receiving device which detects the transmitted optical signals.
