- the coupling pin is pushed out as soon as the tiller arm swings out of the longitudinal axis of the tiller - neutral center position.
- this system should make do with a minimum number of individual parts and thus be inexpensive to manufacture, as well as allow maintenance-free operation and enable smooth operation even with small radii of curvature of the rails.
- the clutch guide system according to the invention should be easily attachable to both new and older models from any manufacturer.
- this object is achieved in a device according to the preamble of claim 1 by the features listed in the characterizing part of this claim.
- the subject matter of the invention achieves improved guidance of the carriages compared to the prior art, and the assembly or attachment of the coupling, which consists of only a few individual parts and occupies an area of less than 6 cm 2 -Leadership system much easier, especially since the latter only has a total height of about 2 mm.
- the small number of individual parts also significantly reduces manufacturing, storage and assembly costs.
- maintenance-free operation can be guaranteed through the use of wear-resistant and self-lubricating plastic parts.
- the device for guiding couplings on model railway vehicles essentially consists of a guide template 1 and a T-shaped drawbar 2, which consists of the crosspiece 3 and the drawbar leg 4 extending in the direction of the drawbar longitudinal axis DL puts.
- the tiller arm 4 can optionally be provided at its free front end or in the region of the cross piece 3 with a pin 5, which for connecting and compensating for height differences with the receiving piece 6 shown in FIG. 3 for the coupling (not shown) on the coupling to be coupled Trolley serves.
- the receptacle 6 has a recess 7 corresponding to the shape of the pin 5 for receiving the pin 5, on which the receptacle 6 can be adjusted to the required height, possibly with spacers, and can be fastened, for example, by gluing.
- the guide template 1 is shown in FIGS. 1 and 4 open at the bottom and can be closed by a cover plate 8 with the help of the pins 9 attached there by pushing into the recesses 10 made in the guide template 1.
