Mounting a rail vehicle component on a body roof of a rail vehicle body

Abstract

A rail vehicle body has a body roof and a rail vehicle component is mounted on the body roof. A form-fitting portion of a mounting element is positively retained in a receptacle positioned on the body roof creating a form fit at the mounting point or each of the mounting points. A passage portion connected to the respective form-fitting portion is led to the outside out of an opening of the respective receptacle. A mounting portion of the respective mounting element located outside the receptacle forms a connection point for the rail vehicle component. The form-fitting portion is separated from the base of the respective associated receptacle by an elastic separating body.

         16 . A rail vehicle body having a body roof and a rail vehicle component affixed to the body roof, comprising:
 a receiving member fitted to the body roof, said receiving member being formed with an opening and having a base;   a fixing element having a positive-locking portion retained in a positive-locking manner at one or more fixing locations and forming a positive-locking connection in said receiving member;   an introduction portion connected to said positive-locking portion, said introduction portion being directed outwardly from said opening of said receiving member;   said fixing element having a fixing portion located outside said receiving member, said fixing portion forming a connection location for the rail vehicle component; and   a resilient separation member disposed to separate said positive-locking portion from said base of the associated said receiving member.   
     
     
         17 . The rail vehicle body according to  claim 16 , wherein:
 the rail vehicle component is mounted to the body roof at least at two fixing locations; and   a thickness of said separation member at one of said fixing locations is greater or smaller than a thickness of said separation member at another one of said fixing locations.   
     
     
         18 . The rail vehicle body according to  claim 16 , wherein said positive-locking portion is embedded in the associated said receiving member in a casting material, and said positive-locking portion is separated from said receiving member by said casting material and said resilient separation member. 
     
     
         19 . The rail vehicle body according to  claim 18 , wherein said casting material is an adhesive material. 
     
     
         20 . The rail vehicle body according to  claim 16 , wherein said resilient separation member comprises rubber. 
     
     
         21 . The rail vehicle body according to  claim 16 , wherein said positive-locking portion and said opening of the associated said receiving member form a bayonet type connection. 
     
     
         22 . The rail vehicle body according to  claim 16 , wherein said positive-locking portions and said openings of the associated said receiving members are constructed such that:
 in a first adjustment position, said positive-locking portion can be introduced into said receiving member from above through said opening of said receiving member;   said positive-locking portion can be rotated in the associated said receiving member; and   by a rotation of said positive-locking portion in the associated said receiving member, there is formed a positive-locking connection which prevents said positive-locking portion from being withdrawn upward from the associated said receiving member.   
     
     
         23 . The rail vehicle body according to  claim 16 , which comprises an extruded rail on the body roof of the rail vehicle body, said extruded rail having an opening slot extending in an extrusion direction of said rail. 
     
     
         24 . The rail vehicle body according to  claim 23 , wherein said rail forms one or more receiving members located one behind another in the extrusion direction of the rail. 
     
     
         25 . The rail vehicle body according to  claim 23 , wherein said extruded rail extends parallel with a longitudinal direction of the rail vehicle body. 
     
     
         26 . The rail vehicle body according to  claim 16 , which comprises a platform for indirectly connecting the rail vehicle component to said fixing element(s), the rail vehicle component being connected to said platform, and said platform being fitted to said fixing element(s). 
     
     
         27 . A method for assembling a rail vehicle component on a body roof of a rail vehicle body, the method comprising:
 inserting a resilient separation member at a fixing location in a receiving member that is fitted to the body roof;   introducing a positive-locking portion of a fixing element in the receiving member and forming a positive-locking connection between the positive-locking portion and the receiving member and positioning same on the separation member; and   fitting the rail vehicle component directly or indirectly to a fixing portion of the fixing element, wherein the fixing portion is located outside the receiving member.   
     
     
         28 . The method according to  claim 27 , wherein the positive-locking portion is embedded in a casting material; and
 the positive-locking portions are separated from the inner walls of the receiving members by the casting material and the resilient separation members.   
     
     
         29 . The method according to  claim 28 , which comprises adhesively bonding the positive-locking portion(s) in the associated receiving member thereof with an adhesive material. 
     
     
         30 . The method according to  claim 27 , which comprises:
 inserting a resilient separation member in a receiving member which is fitted to the body roof at least at two fixing locations; and   a height difference present in respect of the receiving members is compensated for completely or at least partially by selecting respective thicknesses of the separation members to be different to thereby adapt an assembly height of the positive-locking portions of the fixing elements to one another.
