ABSTRACT:
A connection device includes two assemblies, movable towards each other. One of the assemblies has a first mechanical connection plate unit and a first connection element fixed to the plate unit. The other assembly includes a second mechanical connection plate unit and a second connection element movable with respect to the second plate unit in a direction parallel to the engagement direction. The second plate unit includes centering pins for engaging the first plate and providing relative centering of the two plates, remote controlled for locking the plate units one on the other and in aligned position of the contacts. Motors are carried by the second plate unit for moving the second connection element with respect to the second plate unit between a rear position in which the contacts of the elements are mutually separated even when the plate units are in contact with each other and a forward position in which the contacts of the two elements are in mutual engagement.
