A coupling arrangement for forming a train of highway trailers, including at least one leading trailer (1) having a rearwardly disposed locating means (12) and a retractable highway wheel assembly (4), at least one following trailer (2) having a forwardly disposed locating means (16) and a retractable highway wheel assembly, a coupler (5) removably and pivotally mounted upon a railway bogie (3) and including a forwardly projecting coupling means (7) and a rearwardly disposed coupling means (8), the former coupling means (7) engageable with the leading trailer's (1) rearwardly disposed locating means (12) and the latter coupling means (8) engageable with the following trailer's (2) forwardly disposed locating means (16). Upon engagement of the respective coupling (7, 8) and locating means (12, 16) the forwardly projecting coupling means (7) forms a generally rigid beam from the rear of the leading trailer (1) to the interface between the coupler (5) and the bogie (3).

Cette invention concerne un ensemble de raccordement permettant de constituer un train de remorques routières. Cet ensemble comprend les éléments suivants: au moins une remorque de tête (1) comportant un dispositif de positionnement arrière (12) et un ensemble de roues recevable (4); au moins une deuxième remorque (2) munie d'un dispositif de positionnement avant (16) et un d'ensemble de roues relevable; un coupleur (5) monté libérable et pivotant sur un boggie de chemin de fer (3), comprenant un dispositif d'accouplement (7) dépassant vers l'avant et une dispositif d'accouplement arrière(8), le dispositif d'accouplement (7) pouvant s'engager dans le dispositif de positionnement arrière (12) de la remorque de tête (1) et le dispositif d'accouplement (8) pouvant d'engager dans le dispositif de positionnement avant (16) de la remorque suivante (2). Lorsque les dispositifs d'accouplement (7, 8) et les dispositifs de positionnement (12, 16) sont engagés les uns dans les autres, le dispositif d'accouplement dépassant vers l'avant (7) forme une liaison rigide entre l'arrière de la remorque de tête (1) et la zone de raccordement coupleur (5)/boggie (3).
