Abstract

A coupling device for a motor vehicle is disclosed. The coupling device has a friction-locking unit and a form-locking unit which is connected in parallel with the friction-locking unit and has at least two form-locking elements which can be connected to one another by form-locking, are disposed so as to be movable along a direction of actuation relative to one another, and in each case have at least one claw, where at least some of the claws in each case have a top surface which is oriented obliquely with respect to the direction of actuation.
