RAIL VEHICLE PROVIDED WITH EVACUATION DEVICE, AND EVACUATION DEVICE MOUNTING METHOD

摘要

The invention is an evacuation device provided on a rail vehicle operated along an elevated railway. Using the evacuation device, which has been installed with a side sliding door of the rail vehicle open, the safety of an evacuating evacuee and of an evacuation guidance provider who guides the evacuee is increased. A screen (280) provided in a folded state at an upper portion of a body frame (210) is opened, and locks an upper fixed portion (284) of the screen (280) with a lock section (286) provided at an upper portion of an entrance/exit. Since a lower-portion fixed portion (282) of the screen (280) is connected to an upper end portion of the body frame (210), the screen (280) is capable of screening a space extending from an upper portion of the evacuation device (200) to the upper portion of the entrance/exit. So as to enable the evacuation guidance provider to visually inspect the condition of the evacuee, the screen (280) material may be a sheet or a net, said sheet being partially provided with a window or a permeable material.
