Abstract:
A rail-borne vehicle electric cable coupling, the coupling being held longitudinally displaceably on a mechanical central buffer coupling, the electric cable coupling comprising:a longitudinally displaceable adapter box disposed centrally with respect to the mechanical central buffer, said adapter box including electric connection lines for connecting rail-borne vehicle connection lines of the rail-borne vehicles to be coupled in a functionally correct manner with left-right configuration arranged crossed within said adapter box and with a rail-borne vehicle one end left connection line interface arranged to the left of the vertical central longitudinal plane of the central buffer coupling at one end of said adapter box connected with a corresponding opposite end rail-borne vehicle connection line interface arranged mirror symmetrically to the right of the vertical central longitudinal plane at the opposite end of said adapter box and a one end right rail-borne vehicle connection line interface arranged to the right of the vertical central longitudinal plane of the central buffer coupling at said one end of the adapter box connected with a corresponding opposite rail-borne vehicle connection line interface arranged mirror symmetrically to the left of the vertical central longitudinal plane at the opposite end of said adapter box; andcable connectors, each cable connector having at least one plug-and-socket connection, said cable connectors providing a connection to said rail-borne vehicle connection line interfaces at said one end and connection to said another rail-borne vehicle connection line interface at said opposite end for connection of said rail-borne vehicle connection lines through said adapter box to electrically connect two rail-borne vehicles to be coupled.
