Publication number: 20240083473Abstract: A mounting interface for attaching supporting components to a buffer of a rail vehicle. The interface has a mounting body with a component fastening region and an attachment region that is different therefrom. The component fastening region is equipped with fastening elements and/or bores for attaching the components. The attachment region is formed in such a manner that it can be fastened to at least one fastening point at a front side of a buffer flange using screws. There is also described a buffer system and a rail vehicle with such a mounting interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2021Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Stephan Drexler, Marcus Körner, Hannes Peer

Patent number: 11285977Abstract: A rail vehicle contains a roof, a securing device, and a body. The securing device has at least a first securing unit and at least a second securing unit, and the first securing unit and the second securing unit are arranged offset relative to each other and are configured to secure the roof to the body. The first securing unit contains a fixed bearing, the fixed bearing is configured to prevent a movement of the roof relative to the body, and the second securing unit has a floating bearing, the floating bearing is configured to allow a movement of the roof in a longitudinal direction of the rail vehicle and to prevent a movement of the roof perpendicularly to the vehicle longitudinal direction.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2018Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: Siemens Mobility GmbHInventors: Alexander Fege, Hannes Peer

Publication number: 20210323587Abstract: A coupling support for a central buffer coupling of a rail vehicle includes first and second holding plates to be secured to the body of the rail vehicle. The coupling support has a base plate and a transverse bar disposed between the holding plates. The transverse bar is resiliently coupled to the base plate and is disposed above the base plate. First and second pivot levers are disposed on the base plate such that the pivot location of each pivot lever is disposed below the transverse bar, and the pivot locations are connected to the base plate. Each upper portion of the pivot levers is connected to the transverse bar by an articulated connection such that a movement of the transverse bar away from the base plate is restricted by the articulated connections and a movement of the transverse bar towards the base is allowed by the articulated connections.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2019Publication date: October 21, 2021Inventors: Manuel Kroiss, Hannes Peer, Alexander Trachtenherz

Patent number: 10994751Abstract: A railway traction vehicle, in particular a locomotive, is provided for pulling at least one coupleable railway car, which may be a two-level car, having a car body with a car roof which defines a car height. The locomotive includes a vehicle body with a vehicle roof which defines a vehicle height. If the vehicle height is lower than the car height, a roof transition element is disposed on a rear-side end region of the vehicle body. Since the cross-sectional profile of the roof transition element expands from the front edge, which follows a contour line of the vehicle roof, to the rear edge, which follows a contour line of the car roof, the flow resistance in the transition region from the locomotive to the subsequent two-level car is reduced in a simple way, so that traction energy losses and vehicle noise can be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2017Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Assignee: Siemens Mobility GmbHInventors: Manuel Kroiss, Marcus Koerner, Hannes Peer

Patent number: 10981582Abstract: A rail vehicle, in particular a locomotive, includes a railcar body having a head end provided with a front nose. The railcar body has an interface, in the region of the head end, which is configured and provided for fastening and connecting differently shaped front noses forming a set of variations. A front nose selected from the set of variations is thereby fastened to the interface by a welded connection. The rail vehicle therefore permits more flexibility in the shaping of the head end of the railcar body.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2017Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: Siemens Mobility GmbHInventors: Manuel Kroiss, Thomas Langenbacher, Guenther Proell, Hannes Peer

Patent number: 10913468Abstract: A rail vehicle includes a fuel tank having a tank wall delimiting a tank interior space for storing fuel. At least portions of a first support are connected to the tank wall. A longitudinal support includes first and second longitudinal support portions being offset in longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The fuel tank is disposed in longitudinal direction between the first and second longitudinal support portions. The first support is coupled to the first and second longitudinal support portions. At least portions of the first support are disposed in the tank interior space in the longitudinal direction. The first support running in the longitudinal direction is disposed between the first and second longitudinal support portions. The first support is configured for fully transmitting a force acting between the first and second longitudinal support portions in longitudinal direction of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2017Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: Siemens Mobility GmbHInventors: Stephan Drexler, Joerg Melde, Lars Mueller, Hannes Peer, Guenther Proell

Patent number: 10124815Abstract: A rail vehicle includes a chassis, a vehicle structure and a support unit disposed at the end face of the rail vehicle. The vehicle is comparatively lightweight and economical and can also advantageously perform other tasks in addition to supporting a track reamer. The support unit includes a plateau section which is part of the vehicle structure and includes a climbing protection device on its end face and a track reamer holder for supporting a track reamer. The track reamer holder is disposed below the plateau section and is rigidly secured thereto.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2013Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Stephan Drexler, Manuel Kroiss, Hannes Peer, Christian Winkelmann

Patent number: 10000219Abstract: A rail vehicle has a bogie which rolls on a track in a direction of travel, a vehicle structure which is supported on the bogie, a rigid carrying structure which is arranged on the end side of the rail vehicle, and an end-side coupling opening through which a coupling extends for coupling further rail vehicles. A coupling securing device secures the coupling to the rail vehicle. The coupling securing device has reversible securing elements which permit a reversible lifting movement counter to the direction of travel to such an extent that the coupling is retracted completely into the supporting structure. As a result of the retraction of the coupling into the cage-like carrying structure it no longer influences the crash behavior.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2013Date of Patent: June 19, 2018Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Stephan Drexler, Manuel Kroiss, Hannes Peer, Christian Winkelmann
