Abstract

An operator compartment of a rail vehicle includes two front windows separated by a connection beam, a track monitoring camera attached in a lower region of the connection beam by a fastening device, and a front window roll-up sun shield which can be drawn in the interior of the operator compartment and has guides running along both sides of the front windows. The guides have lower retaining devices. In order to allow a comparably simple attachment of the roll-up sun shield and the track monitoring camera in the operator compartment, a longitudinal member is attached to a lower region of the connection beam. The longitudinal member retains the fastening device, has mutually opposite guides and has the lower retaining devices for the roll-up sun shield. An assembly device for a track camera and a front window roll-up sun shield of a rail vehicle is also provided.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An operator compartment of a rail vehicle, the operator compartment comprising:
two front windows having sides;
a connection beam separating said two front windows, said connection beam having a lower region;
a track observation camera;
a longitudinal member attached to said lower region of said connection beam;
fastener retained on said longitudinal member, said fastener attaching said track observation camera to said lower region of said connection beam;
front window roll-up sun shields configured to be pulled down in an interior of the operator compartment;
said longitudinal member including mutually-oppositely disposed guides running along said sides of said front windows for said roll-up sun shields; and
said longitudinal member including lower retainers for said roll-up sun shields.

2. The operator compartment according to claim 1 , wherein said fastener retaining said track observation camera is a fastening rod, and said longitudinal member has a cross hole for receiving said fastening rod and acting as a fastener for said track observation camera.

3. The operator compartment according to claim 1 , wherein said connection beam has an upper region, a cross member is attached to said upper region of said connection beam, and said cross member includes mutually adjacent upper retainers for said front window roll-up sun shields.

4. The operator compartment according to claim 3 ,
which further comprises a connector connecting said longitudinal member to said cross member; and
wherein said connector, said longitudinal member and said cross member forming a single carrier for mounting said track observation camera, said two mutually-opposite guides for said front window roll-up sun shields and said upper and lower retainers for said front window roll-up sun shields.

5. In a rail vehicle including an operator compartment having front windows with a connection beam, mutually-adjacent front window roll-up sun shields in a vicinity of the connection beam, guides and lower retainers for the front window roll-up sun shields, a track observation camera and a fastener for the track observation camera, an assembly device, comprising:
a longitudinal member to be attached to a lower region of the connection beam;
said longitudinal member retaining the fastener for the track observation camera;
said longitudinal member configured to receive the guides and the lower retainers for the front window roll-up sun shields;
the fastener being a fastening rod for retaining the track observation camera; and
said longitudinal member having a cross hole formed therein for receiving the fastening rod and acting as a fastener for the track observation camera.

6. The assembly device according to claim 5 , further comprising:
upper retainers for the front window roll-up sun shields, said upper retainers are attached to an upper region of the connection beam; and
a connector connects a cross member for the upper retainers to said longitudinal member, said connector, said cross member and said longitudinal member forming a single carrier for mounting the track observation camera, the guides and the upper and lower retainers for the front window roll-up sun shields.
