Abstract: The invention provides an improved overhead baggage rack for a railway car. An overhead baggage rack unit 50 provided at a shoulder portion between a side frame 10 and a roof frame 20 of a railway car comprises an overhead baggage rack body 100 and a pole 200. The overhead baggage rack body 100 comprises a front edge portion 110, a rear edge portion 112 and a transverse member 114 formed by mechanically cutting out portions from an extruded aluminum alloy member, and thereby, an opening 130 is formed to which an overhead baggage rack panel is attached. A grip bar 150 is cut and formed to an area lower than the front edge portion 110. The front edge portion 110 is fixed via a bracket 160 to the pole 200.

Abstract: The invention provides a passenger cabin of a railway vehicle with increased interior space. A multifunction module 200 including an air conditioning duct 220, an illuminating apparatus 250, a speaker 260 and the like is disposed on a connecting portion (shoulder portion) between a roof structure 30 and a side structure 50 of a railway vehicle. A baggage rack bracket 310 and a hand strap bracket 350 are passed through and hung from the roof structure 30. A connecting block connecting the brackets 310 and 350 at the upper portions and being fixed to the air conditioning duct 220 is attached to the roof structure 20. Since the multifunction module 200 is fixed only to the roof structure 30, the attaching operation thereof is facilitated. Since the air conditioning duct 220 is disposed on the shoulder portion, the height of the interior space of the vehicle at the center in the width direction of the car body can be increased.
