A coupler for transit cars includes a coupler anchor, a coupler mechanism supported to the coupler anchor by a deformation tube and draft gear element, and a coupler support mechanism. The coupler support mechanism includes two support arms pivotally mounted to a lower part of a coupling connector. A tension rod is provided for each support arm to control the pivotal displacement of each support arm. Each support arm further includes a torsion spring which is loaded as the support arm is pivotally displaced in an upward direction and unloaded as the support arm is pivotally displaced in a downward direction. The position of each support arm may be adjusted independently, thereby allowing adjustment of the coupler along longitudinal and lateral planes of the transit car.

The invention relates to an assembly with a bearing bracket and a coupler rod or a connection rod, whereby the bearing bracket comprises an adapter that is adapted such that the coupler rod or the connection rod can be connected to it, a bracket forming part of a car or being a bracket suitable for being connected to a car of a multi-car vehicle, a joint arranged in such manner that it allows the adapter to swivel relative to the bracket about at least one swivel axis, whereby the coupler rod or the connection rod is attached to the adapter or is formed as one piece with the adapter and whereby the coupler rod or connection rod has at least one surface that extends in a plane that is at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the coupler rod or connection rod and which surface is held spaced apart from a surface of the bearing bracket by an elastic element arranged between a first element and a second element of the elements in the line of flow of force for transmitting forces acting along the longitudinal axis of the coupler rod or the connection rod to the bracket that by its resilience keeps the first element spaced apart from the second element and whereby the surface of the coupler rod or connection rod comes into contact with the surface of the bearing bracket, if a pushing force of a predetermined strength is applied to the coupler rod or the connection rod that overcomes at least a part of the resilience of the elastic element and/or which surface is held spaced apart from a surface of the bearing bracket until a pushing force of a predetermined strength is applied to a connection between a first element and a second element of the elements in the line of flow of force for transmitting forces acting along the longitudinal axis of the coupler rod or the connection rod to the bracket that brakes the connection and sets the first element free to move relative to at second element, which movement allows the surface of the coupler rod or connection rod to come into contact with the surface of the bearing bracket wherein a group of parts of the bearing bracket, which include the adapter and the joint, are connected to the bracket by at least one element in such a manner that the group of parts is set free to move relative to the bracket, if a pushing force of a predetermined strength is applied to the coupler rod or connection rod.
