Coupling head for a railborne vehicle for configuring a mechanical connection to a structurally identical mating coupling head, the coupling head having the following: a bolt element for preventing an unintended release of the mechanical connection between the coupling head and a mating coupling head which is coupled to the coupling head, it being possible for the bolt element to be moved from a first position, in which a release of the mechanical connection between the coupling head and the mating coupling head is prevented, into a second position, in which a release of the mechanical connection between the coupling head and the mating coupling head is made possible; a first and a second actuating element (2, 3) which can in each case be moved relative to the coupling head vertically with respect to the coupling direction and are connected to the bolt element in such a way that, in the case of a movement of the actuating elements (2, 3) relative to the coupling head, the bolt element can be transferred from its first position to its second position, and vice versa; and a lever element which has a first region, on which an end region of the first actuating element is articulated in such a way that, in the case of pivoting of the lever element, the first actuating element is moved relative to the coupling head vertically with respect to the coupling direction, the lever element having, furthermore, a second region for interaction with an end region of a second actuating element of a structurally identical mating coupling head which is coupled to the coupling head, in such a way that, in the case of pivoting of the lever element, the second actuating element of the mating coupling head can be moved relative to the mating coupling head vertically with respect to the coupling direction, and a bearing is provided for mounting the lever element between the first and the second region (4a, 4b) in such a way that the lever element can be pivoted about a predefinable vertical axis, characterized in that a bearing block is provided as bearing, the width of which bearing block is smaller than the width of the lever elements, a recess for at least partially receiving the bearing block in one position of the lever elements being provided in the lever element in the region of the bearing block. a bolt element for preventing an unintended release of the mechanical connection between the coupling head and a mating coupling head which is coupled to the coupling head, it being possible for the bolt element to be moved from a first position, in which a release of the mechanical connection between the coupling head and the mating coupling head is prevented, into a second position, in which a release of the mechanical connection between the coupling head and the mating coupling head is made possible; a first and a second actuating element (2, 3) which can in each case be moved relative to the coupling head vertically with respect to the coupling direction and are connected to the bolt element in such a way that, in the case of a movement of the actuating elements (2, 3) relative to the coupling head, the bolt element can be transferred from its first position to its second position, and vice versa; and a lever element which has a first region, on which an end region of the first actuating element is articulated in such a way that, in the case of pivoting of the lever element, the first actuating element is moved relative to the coupling head vertically with respect to the coupling direction, the lever element having, furthermore, a second region for interaction with an end region of a second actuating element of a structurally identical mating coupling head which is coupled to the coupling head, in such a way that, in the case of pivoting of the lever element, the second actuating element of the mating coupling head can be moved relative to the mating coupling head vertically with respect to the coupling direction, and a bearing is provided for mounting the lever element between the first and the second region (4a, 4b) in such a way that the lever element can be pivoted about a predefinable vertical axis, characterized in that a bearing block is provided as bearing, the width of which bearing block is smaller than the width of the lever elements, a recess for at least partially receiving the bearing block in one position of the lever elements being provided in the lever element in the region of the bearing block.
