Abstract

A coupling device for connecting a first coupling housing and a second coupling housing. The first coupling housing has a guiding element extending from the first coupling housing and having a free end at a distance (h) from the first coupling housing central axis (a-a). The second coupling housing has a receptacle for the guiding element and pull-in means for pulling the guiding element into the receptacle, said pull-in means being connected to the guiding element free end. The invention allows the first coupling housing to be pulled towards the receptacle at an angle which is not coincident with the central axis (a-a), and when the guiding element is in place inside the receptacle, the first coupling housing central axis (a-a) and the central axis (b-b) of the second coupling housing are aligned and coincident, and the two housings are rotationally aligned.
