Abstract

The rest bed in a locomotive cab, for the driver off duty, has a bed surface laid across the two seats of the rear cab while the duty driver is in the front cab. The under side of the bed has fittings to match the seat surfaces in the cab, and fastening belts to pass around the seat backrests. The bed has two parts, with a hinge link between them.

Description

The The invention relates to a recumbent with a lying surface.

in the Long distance operation at the railway often drive in a locomotive two engine driver with, where one of the two locomotive drivers has a break. locomotive stands for every railcar.

When Resting bed for the off-duty locomotive driver previously served either one in a soundproof cabin in Engine room of the locomotive permanently installed couch or a usual folding bunk, the in the cab was placed on the floor.

The first solution has the disadvantage that the cabin in the engine room is very small and uncomfortable.

The second solution has the disadvantage that the couch slip during the ride can.

Of the Invention has for its object to provide a recumbent, in a comfortable place that is big enough and possibly even is air conditioned, only if necessary can be set up and then anyway stable and well sprung.

The Task is according to the invention solved by that opposite to the recliner the lying area Moldings are present, the counterparts to the forms of seats of the in a cab a locomotive are existing seats.

A Locomotive has at its opposite Ends two similar cabs. During the Ride each one of these cabs is not needed. He can then as Ru heraum for the pausing locomotive driver serve. Since the two seats in the cab are usually not needed then the rest bed according to the invention can be particularly advantageous be positioned in these two seats. The moldings on the Reclining couch then access the shapes of the seats of the existing seats a, so that the resting couch is arranged stably.

Should the seats have armrests, these are before placing the Reclining seat folded up. The moldings on the relaxation bed are designed to be counterparts to the shapes of the seats the chairs are. It is important that even with not usually horizontal seats nevertheless the lying surface is always arranged horizontally at least in the transverse direction. Longitudinal can the lying surface also be horizontal or have a desired profile.

It the advantage is achieved that in the relatively small cab no floor space to Setting up a separate couch is needed. Furthermore the particular advantage is achieved that the already existing Suspensions of the two seats take over the suspension of the mounted recliner.

The Reclining couch is therefore slip-proof and largely vibration-free mountable.

Opposite one separate cabin in the engine room has the advantage that no separate room for the resting place available and still a more comfortable resting place than a narrow cabin is available in the engine room, with even others Facilities such as e.g. a fridge, near could be.

For example On the relaxation bed fasteners are present, around the backrests the seats can be carried around are. Since the advantage is achieved that the relaxation bed especially good to attach to the seats.

The Fasteners are for example tapes. These can be belt-like bands be and have buckles so that they are better to fix. They are also elastic bands possible.

For example the recliner consists of two parts, which are hinged together are connected. This gives the advantage that the resting bed, when it is not needed, its half length foldable. she can then easily in a suitable place, for example in one Niche, to be stowed.

With the resting bed according to the invention is achieved in particular the advantage that it takes up little space in the assembled state and still can not slip and about it In addition, by the suspension of the seats is comfortably sprung.
