Abstract

The saddle coupling is used in an articulated vehicle unit in which the coupling is held on the traction vehicle rear and front axle. A transverse axis for articulation in the vertical plane is arranged at a point below the traction vehicle frame in order to ensure stability against jack-knifing on braking. This transverse pivoting axis is arranged near the rear axle. The pivoting of the trailer front end is ensured by an arcuate guide or by pivoted levers in the coupling. An arcuate guide (22) between trailer (10) and traction vehicle (1) has a pivoting centre (C) which coincides with the road surface (20) on which the wheels roll.
