Abstract

The invention is directed to two coupled vehicles (1) such as railbound vehicles or articulated busses, with a connection with at least one bellows (2) as well as with a coupling device comprising two coupling frames (4, 5), said coupling frames (4, 5) comprising interengaging male and female coupling members (10, 15), a locking member (30) being provided for respectively locking the male coupling members (15) in the female coupling members (10), said locking member (30) being slidably guided by the respective locking member (4, 5), said locking member (30) communicating with a force transmitting member (9) that is slidably guided in the respective one of the coupling frames (4, 5), the force transmitting member (9) transmitting both tensile and shear forces.
