The purpose of this plan is to reduce the damages in intercity train crash cases to the passengers. Berth sleeper airbags are designed to protect the passenger's head and body while the passenger is asleep in the berth sleeper, which inflates in the event of a rollover accident.

A cabin for a vehicle includes a cabin wall having an opening and a door for opening and closing the opening. The door is moved about a rotational point and includes a movable door leaf which has a concentric segment. The cabin wall additionally forms a door stop in the closing direction of the door. The door leaf further has a linear segment with a fixed end and a free end. The linear segment adjoins the concentric segment at the fixed end in the closing direction of the door, and the free end of the linear segment forms a closing edge in the closing direction of the door. The closing edge lies against the door stop when the door is closed. A vehicle including an interior having the cabin is also provided.

The present invention is to provide a vehicle door switch that is capable of adjusting the amount of movement made by a rod with ease and a method for attaching a vehicle door switch. A vehicle door switch includes a rod configured to move as a door is closed, a detecting unit configured to output a detection signal when one of ends of the rod has moved by a predetermined distance or more, and a limiting unit configured to limit the amount of movement made by the rod within a range where the detecting unit outputs the detection signal.

A door system for a vacuum train is shown which comprises at least one vehicle (3) with at least one vehicle door (2) and a track for the vehicle comprising at least one evacuated pipe (10) and/or tunnel for the vehicle and guiding and propelling elements for the vehicle within the pipe and/or tunnel. The track comprises at least one station (20) outside of said pipe and/or tunnel with at least one station door (4) being arranged within the wall of the pipe and/or tunnel to selectively close and open the station towards the pipe and/or tunnel, the vehicle door and the station door being arranged to be in a corresponding position when the vehicle is at rest at the station, so that persons can leave or enter the vehicle when the vehicle door and the station door are open at the rest position of the vehicle. And the door system comprises at least one inflatable and deflatable ring shaped seal (22) which surrounds both doors when the doors are in their corresponding position and which seals in its inflated position both doors against the vacuum within the pipes and/or tunnels by filling the gap between the vehicle outer surface and the pipe and/or tunnel wall at the station and which does not fill the gap when being in its deflated state. Thereby the amount of air to be removed between vehicle and station before the corresponding doors can be opened will be minimized, allowing to minimize the time until the doors can be opened.

A side sliding door of a railway vehicle comprises a door body (100), and a driving device for the opening and closing of a doorway. An outer surface of the door body (100) is flush with an outer surface of the vehicle body when the door body (100) is closed. A movement track of the door body is arranged as an arc-plus-linear reciprocating motion. The outer surface of the door body is flush with the outer surface of the vehicle body when the door body is closed, so that there exists no height difference between the vehicle body and a doorway of the side sliding door. Snow accumulation at doorway under an extreme cold working condition is avoided, and then the risk of a door body being frozen is reduced.

An equipment carrier holding device has a housing with a door. A screwing block is arranged in the housing. A clamping block and a fastening screw fix a fastening link of an item of equipment between the clamping block and the screwing block. The clamping block is positioned in relation to the door such that, in the event of incomplete arresting of the fastening screw, the fastening screw forms a mechanical barrier to complete closing of the door. A rail vehicle is also described which is equipped with such an equipment carrier holding device.
