COUPLING OF TWO ARTICULATED SECTIONS OF TRANSPORT FACILITY, FOR EXAMPLE, ARTICULATED TRANSPORT FACILITY WITH COUPLING ASSEMBLY Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC B60D1/00 B61G5/02 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to machine building, particularly, to coupling of two articulated sections of transport facility. Proposed coupling assembly comprises two links jointed together to turn about vertical axle. First coupling link comprises U-shaped opening to grip second coupling assembly link in the area of vertical axle. There are sliding devices acting between coupling links in, at least, axial direction. Aforesaid vertical axle comprises appliance to displace coupling link. Second coupling link comprises two coupling element, each being screed separately to transport facility frame. Sliding device serve to make two coupling links move relative to each other. For longer operation of moving device it is necessary that coupling links between which sliding device are arranged move relative to each other with zero clearance.

EFFECT: higher reliability and linger life.
