Abstract

The manufacturing method includes a step for manufacturing a structural frame, defining an area intended to house driving equipment, said structural frame including two side walls on either side each having at least one side opening, a step for assembling two side windows, each covering a respective one of the side openings, and, prior to said assembly step, a step for producing two side window supports, each assembled with a respective one of the side walls, each side window being attached on a respective one of the side supports during the assembly step.

Claims (11)

1. A method for a driving cabin of a railway vehicle, including:

a step for manufacturing a structural frame, defining an area designed to house driving equipment, said structural frame including two side walls on either side each having at least one side opening,

a step for assembling two side windows, each covering a respective one of the side openings,

wherein:

the manufacturing method includes, prior to said assembly step, a step for producing two side window supports, each assembled with a respective one of the side walls, each side window being attached on a respective one of the side supports during the assembly step,

the step for manufacturing the structural frame is done by molding using a primary mold,

the step for producing the side supports is done by co-molding with the structural frame, adding side mold extensions on the primary mold, and

wherein the manufacturing method includes a step for choosing mold extensions from among a plurality of mold extensions with different dimensions, based on the desired dimensions for the side supports.

2. The manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein the assembly step includes gluing each window on a respective one of the side window supports.

3. The manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein the railway vehicle is a tramway.

4. The manufacturing method according to claim 1 , including a step for trimming the driving cabin, during which the structural frame provided with the side supports is covered by a fairing, having a predetermined maximum dimension in a transverse direction in which the side walls are spaced apart from one another, the dimensions of the side supports in said transverse direction being chosen as a function of said maximum dimension of the fairing.
