Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

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.

1 - 7 . (canceled) 8 . 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 a fastening device retained on said longitudinal member, said fastening device 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 retaining devices for said roll-up sun shields. 9 . The operator compartment according to claim 8 , wherein said fastening device 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 fastening device for said track observation camera. 10 . The operator compartment according to claim 8 , 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 retaining devices for said front window roll-up sun shields. 11 . The operator compartment according to claim 10 , which further comprises a connecting element connecting said longitudinal member to said cross member and forming a single member for said track observation camera, said two mutually-opposite guides for said front window roll-up sun shields and said retaining devices for said front window roll-up sun shields. 12 . 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 retaining devices for the front window roll-up sun shields, a track observation camera and a fastening device 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 fastening device for the track observation camera; and said longitudinal member configured to receive the guides and the lower retaining devices for the front window roll-up sun shields. 13 . The assembly device according to claim 12 , wherein the fastening device is a fastening rod for retaining the track observation camera, and the longitudinal member has a cross hole for receiving the fastening rod and acting as a fastening device for the track observation camera. 14 . The assembly device according to claim 12 , wherein upper retaining devices for the front window roll-up sun shields are attached to an upper region of the connection beam, and a connecting element connects a cross member for the upper retaining devices to said longitudinal member, forming a single member for the track observation camera and the guides and the retaining devices for the front window roll-up sun shields.
