Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWING

(1) The invention allows numerous embodiments. It will be explained in greater detail using the following figures, in which in each case one exemplary embodiment is shown. Identical elements in the figures are provided with identical designations.

(2) FIG. 1 perspectively shows a side wall cladding element according to the invention from the side which points toward the outer shell of a rail vehicle, and

(3) FIG. 2 shows a detailed section of a fastening mechanism of the side wall cladding element according to the invention.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

(4) FIG. 1 shows a side wall cladding element 1 according to the invention. In order to fasten itself to a framework of a rail vehicle, said side wall cladding element 1 has three hooks 2 at its lower end for hooking the side wall cladding element 1 into a guide which is configured in a complementary manner with respect to the hooks and for its part is fastened to the framework of the rail vehicle, as a result of which the side wall cladding element 1 is also fastened to the framework of the rail vehicle. As an object to be hooked in, the guide, for example configured as a rail parallel with respect to the longitudinal axis of the rail vehicle, forms the counterpart to the hooks 2 and is not shown in greater detail here.

(5) At its upper end, the side wall cladding element 1 has a first profiled rail 3, in which three first holders 4 are guided here. The first profiled rail 3 serves for free positioning of the first holders 4 along the first profiled rail 3, which first holders 4 are configured in a complementary manner with respect to the first profiled rail 3, and for fastening the first holders 4 to the first profiled rail 3. The first holders 4 are configured such that they can be connected releasably to the first profiled rail 3. They are clamped, wedged or screwed, for example, to the first profiled rail 3. In addition, they can be connected, in particular releasably, to the framework of the rail vehicle, for example by way of a screw connection.

(6) In addition, a plurality of sections of a first component of a hook and loop fastener, consisting of two components, are applied laterally on the side wall cladding element 1, in vertically running strips 5 here. They likewise serve to fasten the side wall cladding element 1 to the framework of the rail vehicle. The sections of the other, second component of the hook and loop fastener which are arranged correspondingly on door and/or window pillars are not shown here.

(7) When the side wall cladding element 1 which is outlined here is mounted, first of all the hooks 2 are hooked into the guide and the side wall cladding element 1 is oriented. First fixing takes place by means of hook and loop fasteners 5. The first holders 4 in the first profiled rail 3 are subsequently connected to the framework, in particular releasably by means of screw connections. If a double action profiled rail or a second profiled rail 6 is provided, ceiling elements 8 with second holders 7 can subsequently be oriented thereon and can be connected to it, as a result of which they are connected via the side wall cladding element 1 to the framework of the rail vehicle.

(8) FIG. 2 illustrates in a detailed manner the fastening of a side wall cladding element 1 according to the invention to a rail vehicle. At its upper end, the side wall cladding element 1 has a hook 2. The hook 2 is hooked into a guide 10 of the rail vehicle, which guide 10 is configured in a complementary manner with respect to the hook 2.

(9) To this end, the hook 2 has a nose 9 which runs substantially parallel to the side wall cladding element 1. At its lower end, it points away somewhat from the side wall cladding element 1, in order for the guide 10 to be hooked in easily. With the side wall cladding element 1, it therefore forms a wedge-shaped opening for receiving the guide 10. Here, the hook 2 is bent in an angular manner, but can also be formed in a curved manner. With the side wall cladding element 1, the nose 9 of the hook 2 forms a fork which is open toward the bottom here for hooking into the guide 10. The guide 10 is hooked into the fork between the side wall cladding element 1 and the nose 9 of the at least one hook 2 and is clamped fixedly by way of an elastic deformation of the nose 9. Here, the guide 10 is configured as a rail which guides the side wall cladding element 1 in the longitudinal or driving direction of the rail vehicle. It is situated at the edge of a floor 11 which is curved upward in the region of the side wall cladding element 1. Here, the floor 11 is part of the framework of the rail vehicle or is connected directly to the latter. As a result, the guide 10 for hooking in the hook 2 for fastening the side wall cladding element 1 to the framework of the rail vehicle is likewise part of the framework or is connected directly to the latter. The floor 11 forms a shell which is curved once here. In further embodiments, it can also assume the shape of a shell which is curved twice. If the floor is also curved upward on its end sides, it is of tub-shaped configuration.

(10) A sealing lip 12 which points inward into the vehicle interior is arranged between the guide 10, and therefore between the floor 11 which is elevated and points upward with its lateral edges, and the side wall cladding element 1. In the mounted state which is shown here, said sealing lip 12 is prestressed against the side wall cladding element 1, in order to seal the side wall cladding element 1 and the floor 11. The sealing lip 12 is mounted on the floor 11. As an alternative, it is mounted on the side wall cladding element 1 and is prestressed against the upwardly curved floor 11 or the guide 10.
