ABSTRACT:
An automatic coupling for streetcars and like vehicles comprises a connecting rod pivotally connected to the vehicle and a coupling head pivotally connected to the connecting rod. The coupling head is pivotally disposed in the horizontal plane between an operative position in an extension of the connecting rod, in which position the coupling head extends beyond the front profile of the vehicle, and an inoperative position beside the connecting rod, in which position the coupling head is located inside the front profile of the vehicle. The coupling head co-operates with a locking device, by means of which the coupling head may be locked to the connecting rod in the operative and inoperative positions.
