Abstract:
1. An electric coupling for railways, having a first and a second coupling part each comprising a support in which a plurality of linking parts are arranged so that an electric, pneumatic and/or hydraulic link can be established from one coupling part to another coupling part, wherein at least one high-frequency link is provided which is formed by a first flat antenna enclosed in the first coupling part and by a second flat antenna enclosed in the second coupling part, wherein the first coupling part and the second coupling part have first and second flat engaging surfaces which are in direct contact with one another, and wherein the first flat antenna and the second flat antenna are oriented approximately parallel to the first and second engaging surfaces, wherein the high frequency link comprises two cooperating high-frequency linking parts which are each configured as a plastic body which entirely encompasses the antenna, wherein one of the high-frequency linking parts of a high-frequency link is configured as a concave reception and the other as a complementary projection which comes to rest in the reception when the electric couplin is closed such that the two antennas come to rest at a small distance from each other, and wherein the reception is configured as a bushing and the projection as a pin which is inserted into the bushing when the electric coupling is closed, such that the two antennas are arranged at least approximately in one plane.
