Coupler head of a coupling device for mechanically connecting two units, particularly vehicle units

A coupler head (1) of a coupling device (100) for mechanically connecting two units, in particular vehicle units, such as two adjacent car bodies of a multi-member vehicle train or a pick-up assembly and the cargo area of a motor vehicle, comprising at least one coupler lock (6, 8) to form a mechanical connection with a coupler lock (36, 38) of a counter-coupler head (31) as well as an electrical contact coupling (12) for the coupling of at least one electrical line between the coupler head (1) and the counter-coupler head (31), wherein the coupler head (1) further comprises the following:

• a base body (2) to which the at least one coupler lock (6, 8) and/or the electrical contact coupling (12) is/are mounted;
• and
• a coupler head housing (3) which accommodates the base body (2) with the at least one coupler lock (6, 8) and/or the electrical contact coupling (12);
• and
• wherein the base body (2) comprises a linkage (4) to which a coupling shaft (5) is articulated so as to be pivotable in a horizontal and/or vertical plane.
