Abstract

Claw coupling for electric toy and model trains, with a pre-uncoupling device with a claw, which can be swivelled in a horizontal plane and hooked from the side into a rigid hook of the respective opposite anchoring bracket, with a support pin resting in a borehole, which can be lifted out of its coupling position against the force of gravity in an upwards direction into an uncoupling position by a coupling cam of an uncoupling rail, which engages a downwards projecting uncoupling bolt, the support borehole and the support pin each being disposed at the outer edge of the mounting bracket or the claw and the mounting bracket having an approach mandrel for the inner arm of the claw of the respective opposite mounting bracket.
