Abstract
An end cab switcher locomotive includes buffer systems, an end cab and a switchman's footstep in front of the end cab on the side of a first one of the buffer systems. The switchman's footstep is disposed in such a way that when the buffer of the first buffer system is completely elastically pushed in, its buffer plane lies in front of the switchman's footstep. A corresponding buffer system for an end cab locomotive is also provided.
Claims17
An end cab locomotive for switching operations, the end cab locomotive comprising:
- buffer systems including a first buffer system having a buffer with a buffer plane;
- an end cab;
- a switchman's footstep disposed in front of said end cab on a side of said end cab having said first buffer system;
- said switchman's footstep being disposed to locate said buffer plane of said buffer of said first buffer system in front of said switchman's footstep upon said buffer being completely elastically pushed in;
- a buffer flange having fastening points;
- buffer screws;
- a mounting interface for attaching supporting components to said buffer of said first buffer system;
- said mounting interface including a mounting body with a component-fastening region and an attachment region different from said component-fastening region;
- said component-fastening region being provided with at least one of fastening elements or holes for attaching the components;
- and
- said attachment region being configured to be fastened at least at two of said fastening points of said buffer flange with said buffer screws.
An end cab locomotive for switching operations, the end cab locomotive comprising:
- buffer systems including a first buffer system having a buffer with a buffer plane;
- an end cab;
- a switchman's footstep disposed in front of said end cab on a side of said end cab having said first buffer system;
- said switchman's footstep being disposed to locate said buffer plane of said buffer of said first buffer system in front of said switchman's footstep upon said buffer being completely elastically pushed in;
- an external region of the end cab locomotive;
- a banister arrangement including a banister element;
- and
- a holding element receiving said banister element and permitting said banister element to rotate about an axis of rotation;
- said holding element being disposed in said external region of the end cab locomotive and orienting the axis of rotation vertically.
An end cab locomotive for switching operations, the end cab locomotive comprising:
- buffer systems including a first buffer system having a buffer with a buffer plane;
- an end cab;
- a switchman's footstep disposed in front of said end cab on a side of said end cab having said first buffer system;
- said switchman's footstep being disposed to locate said buffer plane of said buffer of said first buffer system in front of said switchman's footstep upon said buffer being completely elastically pushed in;
- a switching coupling and a catch device for said switching coupling;
- said catch device including a lock, a catch body with an end stop, a right side stop and a left side stop together forming a holding body having an internal region being delimited on three sides and having an open side being lockable by said lock;
- said open side being dimensioned to permit said switching coupling to be moved through said open side into said internal region;
- and
- said catch device having at least one of at least one elastic stop element or an elastically mounted stop element on one of said stops.
