Abstract

The present disclosure pertains to a coupling device for coupling a fluid reservoir for a brake fluid with a brake actuation device. The coupling device includes at least one coupling extension provided at the fluid reservoir with a first recess, a second recess configured in the area of an edge of the brake actuation device as well as a hole configured in the brake actuation device and open to the second recess, a bridge element crossing the second recess along the edge of the brake actuation device and a coupling element with at least one striker, wherein, when the fluid reservoir is coupled to the brake actuation device, the hole is aligned with the first recess along a central longitudinal axis of the striker and the striker passes through the first recess and engages with the hole. The present disclosure also pertains to a vehicle brake system equipped with such a coupling device.
