Embodiment Construction

[0025] Figure 1 to Figure 15 Shows at least parts or details of a first preferred embodiment of a saddle coupling 1 for coupling a semi-trailer with a semi-trailer, said saddle coupling having a saddle for fitting on a semi-trailer Plate 2 and engagement element 3 for mounting on a semi-trailer, wherein the saddle plate 2 shown is designed to at least partially receive the engagement element 3 . In the saddle coupling, it is provided that the engagement element 3 includes a coupling ball 31 in order to improve the off-road performance of the tractor-trailer composed of a semi-trailer and a semi-trailer.

[0026] This achieves the advantages and advantageous effects mentioned at the outset. It is advantageous here that the tractor semi-trailer and the coupled semi-trailer can not only be rotated in a predetermined manner relative to each other, but can also be tilted in a predetermined manner relative to each other. It is advantageous here if the tractor semi-trailer is rota...

Abstract

On a fifth wheel coupling (1) for coupling a semitrailer tractor to a semitrailer, comprising a fifth wheel plate (2) for installation on the tractor and an engagement element (3) for installation on the semitrailer, wherein the fifth wheel plate (2) is designed to receive the engagement element (3), it is proposed to design the engagement element (3) to comprise a coupling ball (31) in order to increase the cross-country mobility of a team formed by the semitrailer tractor and the semitrailer.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a saddle coupling according to the preamble of claim 1 . As long as it is assembled on the semi-trailer or semi-trailer, the saddle coupler is part of the tractor trailer. Tractor trailers are transport vehicles that can be used flexibly and cost-effectively. Background technique [0002] The tractor-trailer includes a tractor semi-trailer and a coupled semi-trailer. The tractor-trailer can also be referred to as a unit. The tractor semi-trailer can also be called a towing vehicle. The semi-trailer is a trailer without a front axle, but usually with multiple rear axles. The semi-trailer is also known under the names: saddle trailer, trailer or trailer. In this case, the saddle coupling is arranged in front of the rearmost axle of the tractor semi-trailer, viewed in the direction of travel of the unit. In this way, the semi-trailer tractor can bear part of the mass of the trailer. [0003] A disadvantage of conventional t...
