Abstract
A rail vehicle, in particular a locomotive, includes a chassis, a central buffer coupling, a coupling shaft which is hinged to the chassis and carries a coupling head, and a coupling support which has a spring-mounted transverse beam for supporting the coupling shaft. The coupling support has two retaining sheets which are secured to the chassis, and the transverse beam has two guide grooves which run in the spring direction. Each of the retaining sheets engages into a respective one of the guide grooves in a form-locking manner such that the transverse beam is guided in a movable manner in the spring direction and transversely thereto, and each retaining sheet has a predetermined breaking point. In this way, the coupling support is secured to the chassis in a simple manner.
