In the introduction, it should be noted that in the exemplary embodiments described, the same parts are provided with the same reference symbols or the same component names, the disclosures contained in the entire description being able to be applied analogously to the same parts with the same reference symbols or the same component symbols. Furthermore, individual features from the exemplary embodiments shown can also represent independent solutions according to the invention.

1 to 4, an emergency vehicle 1, in particular a fire engine vehicle 2, is shown. The emergency vehicle 1 consists of a driver's cabin 3 and a support frame 5, in particular an equipment cabin 6, built on the chassis 4.

On the support frame 5 or the equipment cabin 6, laterally accessible door arrangements 7, for example in the form of roller shutters 8, are arranged so that the emergency services can access the equipment located in the support frame 5 from the outside by opening the roller shutters 8. The items of equipment can preferably be stored in the side area in swivel compartments or simple compartments 9, which provides easy and clear access to the items of equipment. The compartments 9 extend over a depth 10 into an interior 11 of the equipment cabin 6, thereby creating a central region 12 to which the emergency services have no access from the side.

The compartments 9 can each be closed off with a rear wall 13, 14, thereby preventing the equipment from slipping into the central region 12. Of course, it is possible that openings are arranged in the two rear walls 13, 14 5 AT 002 240 Ul, through which the emergency services can reach the central region 12 from the side.

A horizontal guide device 17 is arranged in the central region 12 of the emergency vehicle 1 along a longitudinal axis 15 of the emergency vehicle 1 on a loading surface 16 or a floor structure of the equipment cabin 6. The horizontal guide device 17 can be formed from one or more horizontal guide tracks 18 running to the longitudinal axis 15 of the emergency vehicle 1. The horizontal guideways 18 extend from the end region 19 of the emergency vehicle 1 to an intermediate wall 20 arranged between the driver's cabin 3 and the support frame 5 or the equipment cabin 6 and can be formed, for example, by U-shaped profiles. Of course, it is possible that the horizontal guideways 18 can only be formed over a partial area of the loading area 16 of the emergency vehicle 1. The horizontal guide device 17 has an end stop in the end region 19. A rear wall 21 delimiting the end region 19 is again provided in the central region 12 with a roller shutter 22 or a pivotable flap, so that the emergency services can gain access to the central region 12 by opening the roller shutter 22.

A horizontal slide 23 is guided in the horizontal guide device 17, i.e. the horizontal slide 23 is equipped with a carriage, in particular by a roller arrangement. The roller arrangement is guided by the horizontal guideways 18 to the side and / or the height. The horizontal slide 23 can be designed to hold items of equipment and / or extinguishing agents, in particular hose containers 24, so that by moving the horizontal slide 23 to the end region 19 the emergency personnel can reach the items of equipment, in particular the hose containers 24. Of course, it is possible for the horizontal slide 23 to have one or more lateral guiding devices and / or height guiding devices in addition to the running gear, these being guided in or along the horizontal guideway 18. The side and / or height guide devices are arranged, for example, in the two end regions of the horizontal slide 23 which are spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal direction of the horizontal guide track 18, so that tilting of the horizontal slide 23 is prevented. Due to the end stop in the horizontal guideways 18, it is also not possible for the horizontal slide 23 to be pulled out of the horizontal guideways 18 when it is moved into the end region 19. The horizontal slide 23 has a length 25 which is 6 AT 002 240 ul less than a total length 26 of the interior 11 of the equipment cabin 6.

On the side of the horizontal slide 23 facing the end region 19, a height adjustment device 27, in particular a height adjustment drive, is connected to the horizontal slide 23 in such a way that the height adjustment device 27 projects beyond an end edge 28 of the horizontal slide 23 and is arranged between the two horizontal guide tracks 18. The items of equipment arranged on the horizontal slide 23, in particular the hose containers 24, are arranged on both sides of the height adjustment device 27, so that the hose containers 24 can be easily accessed or removed. The height adjustment device 27 extends over a height 29 which is lower than an opening height 30 of the roller shutter 22, so that the height adjustment device 27 protrudes from the equipment cabin 6 of the emergency vehicle 1 when the horizontal slide 23 is horizontally displaced at the end region 19.

The height adjustment device 27 can be formed, for example, by a pressure-actuated cylinder piston arrangement 31, which is driven hydraulically, pneumatically or electrically. Of course, it is possible that the height adjustment device 27 is formed by an electrical or by a lifting spindle driven by a fluid motor. The cylinder piston arrangement 31 is mounted on the horizontal slide 23 in such a way that a piston 32 which can be moved out of the cylinder piston arrangement 31 points in the direction of the loading area 16 of the equipment cabins 6. A coupling device 34 is connected to the height adjustment device 27 at one end 33 of the piston 32. The coupling device 34 has a load hook 35, as can be seen from FIG. 4, which is located between two underlying vertical and / or horizontal support elements 36, 37, as a result of which a so-called 3-point suspension is arranged on the coupling device 34. By protruding the height adjustment device 27 in the direction of the end region 19, it is possible that when the horizontal slide 23 is moved to the end region 19, the height adjustment device 27 can be lowered in the direction of a footprint 38 of the emergency vehicle 1.

The arrangement of the height adjustment device 27 and the coupling device 34 makes it possible for an equipment block 39 to be coupled to the horizontal slide 23. The equipment block 39 has a coupling device 40 and a support frame 41, the coupling device 40 7 AT 002 240 Ul being designed such that it forms a counterpart to the coupling device 34 arranged on the height adjustment device 27. By connecting the two coupling devices 34, 40, the equipment block 39 is outstandingly suspended on the horizontal slide 23 or slidably connected to it. Due to the special design of the load hook 35, when the equipment block 39 is received, the two coupling devices 34, 40 are engaged independently.

The equipment block 39 has a length 42 which corresponds to the difference between the total length 26 of the interior 11 of the equipment cabin 6 and the length 25 of the horizontal slide 23, whereby the equipment block 39 is positioned in the interior 11 of the equipment cabin 6 by moving the horizontal slide 23 to the intermediate wall 20 is, so that a transport of the equipment block 39 with the emergency vehicle 1 is possible. The width and the height of the equipment block 39 may not exceed a width 43 and the opening height 30 of the roller shutter 22 on the rear wall 21, as a result of which the equipment block 39 can be pulled out of the interior 11 of the equipment cabin 6.

The arrangement of the coupling devices 34, 40 makes it possible that by pulling out the equipment block 38 from the interior 11 of the equipment cabin 6, the equipment block 39 can be parked on the contact surface 38 by lowering the height adjustment device 17, wherein when the equipment block 39 is parked on the footprint 38 an automatic decoupling of the equipment block 39 is achieved. It is advantageous that at least three height-adjustable and / or pivotable support devices 44 are arranged on the equipment block 39 and distributed over the base area. The support devices can be provided with fixed support supports and / or with swiveling and fixable driving devices, such as rollers, for example. By adjusting the height of the support device 44 in the direction of the footprint 38, it is achieved that the height adjustment device 27 does not have to be adjusted so far when the equipment block 39 is set down, so that the cylinder piston arrangement 31 of the height adjustment device 27 does not depend on the vehicle height from the loading area 16 to Footprint 38 must be designed. Another advantage is that a predetermined height of the equipment block can be set with the support device 44, so that a suitable removal height for removing the equipment is created for the emergency personnel. 8 AT 002 240 ul

The support devices 44 can be by hand or by an energy supply system fed via the coupling devices 34, 40 e.g. can be lowered hydraulically, pneumatically or electrically. For this purpose, a coupling element is additionally arranged on each of the two coupling devices 34, 40 for the energy supply system, which automatically engage when the equipment block 39 is set down or when the equipment block 39 is coupled during the coupling movement. However, so that the equipment block 39 can be connected to the energy supply system, the horizontal slide 23 or the coupling devices 34, 40 must be connected to the energy supply system arranged on the emergency vehicle 1 via movable lines 45. Of course, it is possible that the horizontal slide 23 can also be fed with this energy supply system, so that an independent movement of the horizontal slide 27 is made possible. It is also possible that the equipment block 39 with its own energy source for current and / or pressure medium or with connections for external energy sources - e.g. to start a portable pump 46 - is provided.

The equipment block 39 is designed such that different items of equipment, such as e.g. the portable pump 46 is arranged with the associated extinguishing means, tools, lighting and / or communication means. It is possible that the equipment block 39 is constructed from several loading areas. The equipment block 39 forms an operational system, i.e. the individual parts of the equipment items are put together on the equipment block 39 according to tactical specifications. It is possible that a number of equipment blocks 39 can be stored in the armory, so that when the vehicle is used, the emergency vehicle 1 can be equipped with the application system arranged thereon by the corresponding equipment block 39.

Due to the special design of the emergency vehicle 1, it is now achieved that, for example, the equipment block 39 can be set down during an operation, so that the emergency vehicle 1 can be used at another location or another equipment block 39 can be transported from the armory to the location. Another advantage is that different equipment blocks 39 can be equipped with different items of equipment, so that the emergency vehicle 1 can be quickly converted to the different types of use in a special application. Of course, it is possible that several equipment blocks 39 can be arranged in the emergency vehicle 1. These can be arranged in the longitudinal direction of the emergency vehicle 1 parallel or transversely to the longitudinal direction.

The coupling device 34 of the height adjustment device 27 is designed so that it does not protrude above the upper edge of the horizontal slide 23 when lowering, so that the equipment located on the horizontal slide 23 can be easily removed by the emergency services. Furthermore, it is possible for the horizontal slide 23 to be provided with a fixing device, so that when the horizontal slide 23 is moved, it can be fixed to the horizontal guide tracks 18 in any position. It is also possible that guide stops 47 are arranged on the chassis 4 of the emergency vehicle 1, that is to say on the side of the chassis 4 or the vehicle frame opposite the loading area 16, as a result of which the equipment block 39 is supported or guided when the equipment block 39 is lowered.

Furthermore, it is possible that the application system, consisting of one or more equipment blocks 39 with the associated height adjustment device 27, not only has to be arranged in a closed equipment cabin 6 of an emergency vehicle 1, but that the application system has to be on a loading surface or a floor construction of an open one Emergency vehicle 1 or another means of transport can be arranged, that is, that an emergency vehicle 1 or another means of transport can be used without any superstructure or equipment cabins 6 for such an application system.

Of course, it is possible that the equipment block 39 with the associated horizontal slide 23 can be arranged transversely to the longitudinal direction of the emergency vehicle 1. It is possible that several equipment blocks 39 are arranged in parallel.

Furthermore, it is possible for a plurality of equipment blocks 39 to be arranged one behind the other on a horizontal slide 23 in the longitudinal direction of the emergency vehicle 1, with each equipment block 39 having its own height adjustment device 27, for example. This makes it possible that not all of the equipment blocks 39 arranged one behind the other have to be pulled out or extended from the emergency vehicle 1, but rather that the last equipment block 39 is put down first and then the next arranged one can be put down. Of course, it is possible that in the case of the equipment blocks 39 arranged one behind the other, only one height adjustment device 27 is arranged between the first equipment blocks 39 and the horizontal slide 27, so that the subsequent equipment blocks 39 are in turn connected to one another via the coupling devices 34, 40 . However, in order to set down the individual equipment blocks 39, the entire equipment blocks 39 must always be extended, so that the individual equipment blocks 39 are uncoupled by extending the support device 44 and lowering the height adjustment device 27.

Furthermore, it is possible that the horizontal guide device 17 does not only have to be arranged on the loading surface 16, but that the horizontal guide device 17 and the equipment block 39 coupled thereto are arranged so as to be displaceable in reverse construction on the roof structure of the equipment cabin 6, as shown in dash-dotted lines in FIG 2 is indicated schematically. For this purpose, it is possible for a rear video camera to be arranged at the rear, that is to say at the end region 19 of the emergency vehicle 1, for coupling and depositing the equipment block 39.

Finally, for the sake of order, it should be pointed out that individual components and assemblies are shown disproportionately and to scale in the drawings for a better understanding of the invention.

Individual features of the exemplary embodiment can each form the subject of independent inventions on their own.

Furthermore, it is pointed out that the illustrated exemplary embodiments are a schematically simplified diagram in which individual details are not shown. 11 AT 002 240 ul
