Abstract

A rail vehicle for public transport includes at least one door for separating two inner spaces of the rail vehicle and a lintel for the door. The lintel has at least one electronic information system for passengers.

Claims

1. A rail vehicle for public transport, the rail vehicle comprising: two inner spaces; at least one door separating said two inner spaces, said at least one door having two sides; a door lintel for said at least one door, said door lintel having at least one electronic information system for passengers; and said at least one electronic information system including two display surfaces each disposed at a respective one of said sides of said at least one door and each facing into a respective one of said inner spaces separated by said at least one door.

2. The rail vehicle according to claim 1, wherein said at least one electronic information system includes at least one display surface for displaying passenger information.

3. The rail vehicle according to claim 1, wherein said at least one door has a door leaf, and said door lintel includes a device for assembly of said door leaf on said door lintel.

4. The rail vehicle according to claim 3, wherein said door lintel has at least one hole for receiving a vertically extending shaft about which said door leaf can be pivoted.

5. The rail vehicle according to claim 1, wherein said door lintel and said at least one electronic information system for passengers form a unit which can be mounted.

6. The rail vehicle according to claim 1, wherein said door lintel is secured to a shell of the rail vehicle.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWING

(1) FIG. 1 is a cross section of a door lintel according to the invention,

(2) FIG. 2 is a plan view of the door lintel from FIG. 1.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

(3) FIG. 1 is a longitudinal section of a body of a rail vehicle. A door leaf 7 and a door lintel 2 of a door 1 are also illustrated in section. The door separates two inner spaces 4 of the rail vehicle, for example, passenger spaces, from each other. The door lintel 2 comprises in this instance two display surfaces 3 of an electronic information system for passengers, also referred to as a passenger information system. They are inclined toward the inner spaces 4. The door lintel 2 is consequently constructed so as to be trapezoidal in cross section. Since the electronic information system for passengers is part of the door lintel 2 and they are pre-assembled together as a unit which can be mounted, and finally assembled, a separate connection of the electronic information system for passengers, in particular the display surfaces 3, is no longer required.

(4) The term door lintel, in the original sense of the word, is intended to refer to the upper portion of the opening, which portion carries the load of the wall regions above the door and directs them to the pillars of the opening. In this instance, the door lintel does not carry any load of the wall regions above the door. The door lintel 2 can consequently be formed by the at least one electronic information system for the passengers.

(5) It is secured to a shell 9 of the body of the rail vehicle, indirectly, by the door lintel 2 being secured to a ceiling 12 of the body of the rail vehicle which in turn is secured to the shell 9 of the body of the rail vehicle, or directly, in particular by way of securing means, for example, screw connections. To this end, both the door lintel 2 and the shell 9 of the body of the rail vehicle have holes 10. The door lintel 2 is connected to the shell 9 in particular in a suspended manner.

(6) The door lintel 2 further serves to secure the door leaf 7 to the body of the rail vehicle and to secure partition wall elements 8 of a partition wall to the body of the rail vehicle.

(7) In this embodiment, the door leaf 7 is pivotably supported about a shaft 6 in the door lintel 2 and in a floor 13 of the body of the rail vehicle. To this end, the door lintel 2 and the floor 13 have correspondingly formed holes in order to receive and radially support the shaft 6.

(8) FIG. 2 is a sectional plan view through a body of a rail vehicle having a door lintel 2 according to the invention.

(9) The door lintel 2 comprises in addition to the display surfaces 3 a cross-member 11 which extends in this instance over the entire width of the inner space of the body of the rail vehicle. Via the cross-member 9, the door lintel 2 can be connected to the sides of the shell 9 of the rail vehicle. In this instance, however, it is secured exclusively in an upward direction to the shell 9. The cross-member 11 serves to secure the partition wall elements 8, which laterally surround the door leaf 7 of the door. The partition wall elements 8 can be secured to the cross-member 11, for example, they are screwed to the cross-member 11. By means of the cross-member 11, the partition wall elements 8 are accordingly connected to the shell 9 of the body of the rail vehicle. The partition wall elements 8 can also be directly secured to the door lintel 2. The door lintel 2 includes a device 5 for assembly of the door leaf 7 on the door lintel.

(10) On the other hand, the cross-member 11 could also be positioned on the partition wall elements 8 and thus support the door lintel 2, wherein the partition wall elements 8 would take over the function of the pillars of the door or the door posts of a door frame, which is not the case in this instance.

(11) The holes 10 serve to secure the door lintel 2 to the shell 9, in particular by way of securing means which are not illustrated in this instance. For example, the door lintel 2 is screwed to a ceiling 12 of the body, which in turn is secured to the shell 9 of the rail vehicle.
