ABSTRACT:
A coupling and braking device for rail supported tow cars driven by means of an underfloor chain, each car having a movable, spring loaded front fender which, upon engagement against a protruding latching device of a stop barrier or of a standing preceding car, executes an energy absorbing motion with a motion component oriented at an angle to the travel direction, making it possible to block the release of the stored energy by means of the latching device. The latter is operatively connected to the movable front fender, moving rearwardly into a protruding activated position, when the fender is deflected. The blockable motion component may be oriented horizontally transversely to the travel direction, a split fender with laterally and rearwardly pivotable fender sections cooperating with a central wedge-like latch plate; or the blockable motion component may be vertical, in which case the fender sections move rearwardly and upwardly, being blocked against a downward release motion by a rearwardly extending latching frame of the preceding car.
