A fifth wheel coupler having a jaw which is positively driven by a mechanism in response to the movement of a king pin in a coupling direction. The jaw and the mechanism are yieldably connected so as to permit the mechanism to be operated by the oncoming king pin to the full extent of the movement of both, after the jaw has been prevented from further movement due to engagement with an obstruction on the king pin.
