Abstract
A device for securing a railway apparatus, comprising a support platform and a mechanism for securing the apparatus on the platform, the securing mechanism comprising:—at least one guiding slide extending in a longitudinal direction, supported by the support platform; and—a member for attaching the apparatus to the platform capable of moving along the guiding slide. The securing mechanism also comprises an upper beam supporting the guiding slide and a lower beam, connected by means of a connecting member so as to be movable in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the guiding slide. Moreover, the securing mechanism comprises locking mechanism configured to prevent the movement of the upper beam with respect to the lower beam in said perpendicular direction.

A device for securing a railway apparatus, comprising a support platform for the railway apparatus and at least one mechanism for securing the railway apparatus on the support platform, said securing mechanism being capable of moving from a locking position to an unlocking position and vice versa, the securing mechanism comprising:
- at least one guiding slide extending in a longitudinal direction;
- at least one attachment member for attaching the railway apparatus to the support platform, which attachment member is capable of moving along the guiding slide;
- an upper beam supporting the guiding slide;
- a lower beam connected to the support platform;
- at least one connecting member connecting the upper beam and the lower beam, the connecting member being configured such that the upper beam is movable relative to the lower beam in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the guiding slide;
- and
- a locking mechanism for locking said at least one connecting member, said locking mechanism being configured to prevent the movement of the upper beam with respect to the lower beam.
A vehicle for transporting a railway apparatus, comprising a transport chassis supported by a running gear and a securing device mounted on the transport chassis, the securing mechanism comprising:
- at least one guiding slide extending in a longitudinal direction;
- at least one attachment member for attaching the railway apparatus to the support platform, which attachment member is capable of moving along the guiding slide;
- an upper beam supporting the guiding slide;
- a lower beam connected to the support platform;
- at least one connecting member connecting the upper beam and the lower beam, the connecting member being configured such that the upper beam is movable relative to the lower beam in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the guiding slide;
- and
- a locking mechanism for locking said at least one connecting member, said locking mechanism being configured to prevent the movement of the upper beam with respect to the lower beam.
