Description

Technical area

The invention relates to a vehicle body for a vehicle, in particular for a vehicle for the simultaneous transport of a large number of people. Furthermore, the invention relates to such a vehicle, which may be formed, for example, as a rail vehicle or bus.

Prior art

There are known vehicles with car bodies, wherein within the car body seating devices, such as benches and individual seats, are arranged in a fixed configuration. This provides passengers with a range of seating options. However, individual passengers are unable to find a seat outside the default seating configuration. This is especially true if all provided seating devices within the car body are already occupied by other passengers.

To solve this problem is by the EP 1 864 850 B1 suggest to provide an extendable seat unit within the car body of the transport vehicle described therein. This seat unit consists of a primary seat device and a secondary seat device, wherein the secondary seat device can be pushed under the primary seat device, or can be pulled out underneath. In this way it is possible to make a single seat for one person a double seat for two people, whereby the seating capacity can be increased within the car body as needed.

Disadvantages of the prior art

The described rail vehicles with corresponding car bodies already offer a possibility for passengers to find a seat, depending on capacity and desire. However, there is a risk that individually oriented passengers will be dissatisfied with this found, unalterable seating configuration and seating options.

problem

It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a car body for a vehicle for transporting a large number of people, to provide the passengers with a variety of different seat devices, with an excessive technical effort to be avoided.

Inventive solution

The above object is achieved by a car body according to claim 1. Furthermore, this object is achieved by a vehicle, in particular by a rail vehicle, according to claim 15. Other embodiments, modifications and improvements will become apparent from the following description and from the appended claims.

According to one embodiment, an at least seat surface, at least one pivoting device and at least one backrest are provided in the vehicle body according to the invention, wherein the seat surface is fixed to a supporting structure of the car body. The backrest is pivotally attached to the supporting structure by means of the pivoting device about a substantially vertically oriented pivot axis, so that the backrest is pivotable back and forth between a first position and a second position within the car body on the side wall.

In the first position, the backrest extends substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the car body, so that the backrest arranged in this first position together with the seat surface forms a first seat device.

The terms used hereinafter - or deviations thereof - "longitudinal direction", "transverse direction", "vertical direction", "top" and "bottom" are related to the car body and in particular to the vehicle with the car body. For example, the longitudinal direction is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the car body, and the transverse direction is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis in the horizontal direction to understand. The indications "horizontal", "vertical direction", "top" and "bottom" refer to the position of use of the vehicle with the car body. In the case of a rail vehicle, this is the final position of a rail vehicle on horizontally extending rails.

As a seat device in this context is a combination of a seat and an associated backrest, which cooperate such that a person sitting on the seat person can create by supporting the back against the backrest. In particular, the seat and backrest form an L-shape-like shape when viewed in cross-section.

The term "backrest" according to one embodiment is to be understood as meaning that in use by a person, a substantial portion of the person's back is in direct contact with a surface of the backrest, and Upper body of the person can be supported in this way. In particular, the backrest is not designed as a relatively narrow beam, for example, with a height of less than 10 cm, with a person could lean against such a beam-like back support only with a very small part of the back. According to one embodiment, the backrest according to the invention should be designed so flat, so that at least 30% of the back surface of an average, adult, male person with a mean Bodymaßindex can be supported in direct contact with it. For example, the backrest has at least a height of 20 cm and a width of at least 40 cm.

In the second position, the backrest is arranged with respect to a seat surface such that the backrest and the seat surface form a second seat device. However, the backrest of the second seat device is aligned substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the car body.

In this way, a passenger is offered an individually selectable seating, as the passenger can choose at his discretion between the use of the first seat device and the second seat device. This choice can be made based on the passenger's personal preference and causes the seating position or orientation with respect to the longitudinal axis of the car body itself to be determined by bringing the seat back to either the first position or the second position. Because depending on the position of the backrest results in the first seat device or the second seat device.

The term "first seat device" may also be used in the context of the present description as a synonym for the term "seat device aligned in the transverse direction of the car body". The same applies to the term "second seat device", which can be understood as a synonym for "seat device, aligned in the longitudinal direction of the car body".

According to a further embodiment, the seat surface, or the seat surfaces which, in interaction with the backrest, form the first or the second seat device, is arranged directly or at least substantially directly on a side wall of the car body. This means that loads acting on the seating surface are to a significant extent introduced and discharged into the side wall of the car body or into the supporting structure formed by the side wall or inside the side wall.

Furthermore, within the car body, no further seating surfaces or seating devices are provided next to a seat surface located on the side wall in the transverse direction of the car body. That is, in addition to a seat on the side wall, there is no other seat in the direction of the car center. This has in particular the consequence that only seating or seats are provided on a side wall within the car body, and the seat is not extending in the transverse direction of the car body multi-seat device, in particular no double or triple.

In connection with the invention, it is disclosed that the backrest between the first position and the second position by at least 90 °, in particular substantially at exactly 90 °, is pivotally mounted. The first position of the backrest thus differs by 90 ° about the vertical pivot axis rotated from the second position of the backrest.

According to one embodiment of the above, the first seat apparatus with the backrest in the first position forms a first seat direction inherent in the first seat apparatus, and in the second position, a second seat direction inherent in the second seat apparatus. The first seat direction is rotated with respect to the second seat direction by 90 ° about a substantially vertical axis of rotation.

In this context, the term "seat direction, immanent a seat device" will be explained in more detail. Depending on the position of the backrest, the first seat direction is oriented substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the car body, so that a person in this seat direction - provided that the person sits in a proper sitting position, i. the feet are in front of the person on the ground, and the person leans his back against the backrest, - is oriented transversely to the direction of travel, or transversely to the longitudinal direction of the car body. In the other case, when the backrest is in the second position and forms the second seat device with the seat, a person sitting on it would be aligned either in the longitudinal direction or according to the longitudinal axis. The upper body and the knees essentially point in the longitudinal direction and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the car body. The immanent seat direction is thus oriented substantially to the normal vector of the surface of the backrest, and in particular points perpendicularly away from this.

Thus, the term "first immanent seat direction" may also be synonymous with the term "seat direction aligned in the transverse direction of the car body". This also applies to the term "Second immanent seat direction", which can be understood as a synonym for "sitting direction, aligned in the longitudinal direction of the car body".

According to one or more of the above embodiments, a passenger is thus for the first time allowed to select the seat direction according to personal preference, in particular the first seat direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the car body, and the second seat device either in or against the direction of travel, parallel to the longitudinal axis ,

A further embodiment of the invention specifies that at least two seat surfaces, in particular four seat surfaces, are arranged directly next to one another within the car body in the longitudinal direction within the car body.

Ausgestaltend this can be arranged on the side wall within the car body. With such a configuration of two seats, the above-described form of expression of the backrest according to the invention has a particularly advantageous effect. If the backrest is in the first position, it forms the first seat device with the first seat surface, the immanent first seating direction running transversely to the longitudinal axis of the car body. Now, if the backrest pivoted from the first position to the second position, it now acts together with the second seat. Together, these form the second seat device with the second immanent seat direction parallel to the longitudinal axis.

If a passenger wishes to sit transversely to the direction of travel or to the longitudinal axis, he moves the backrest into the first position, so that the first seat device is formed. In particular, in this first position the backrest is parallel to the side wall of the car body, so that the passenger would sit on the first seat device towards the center of the car.

In the event that the passenger wishes to sit parallel to the longitudinal axis, he ensures that the backrest is in second position. Backrest and second seat in this case form the second seat device whose immanent second seat direction is aligned parallel to the longitudinal axis.

According to a further embodiment, it is possible that the backrest can be used on both sides, and in the second position with respect to the longitudinal axis of the car body between the first seat surface and the second seat surface, in particular substantially parallel to the transverse direction of the car body is arranged. In this way, the backrest would form the second seat device with one luff side and the second seat surface, and at the same time form with the other seat side of the backrest with the first seat another second seat device whose immanente seat direction is also parallel to the longitudinal direction of the car body. In this case, a passenger could sit in each case on the one second seat device and the other second seat device, with one passenger sitting in the direction of travel and the other passenger sitting opposite to this in the vehicle body.

According to another embodiment, at least one seating surface is hinged and retractable via a folding device to the supporting structure of the car body. The corresponding folding axis has a substantially horizontal orientation. This allows the seat in a folded-down state to be suitable for sitting, but can be folded back as needed to the side wall of the car body, whereby additional space is released within the car body.

According to one embodiment, it is stated that at least the foldable seat surface is fastened and folded directly on the supporting structure by means of the folding device, where a second seat device is formed or can be formed by the seat surface and backrest in the second position, wherein the second immanent Seat direction of the second seat device facing the folding seat. In this way, it is possible that the second seat device can be used with seat direction opposite or in the direction of travel, even if directly next to it a further seat device, for example a folding seat, is arranged.

According to a special embodiment, every second seat is foldably arranged on the support structure. This makes it possible that the non-folding seats can be used depending on the position of the backrest in a sitting direction transverse to the longitudinal axis and in a sitting direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the car body without adjacent seats would prevent this. Where seating surfaces can be folded up to the side wall, it is possible for a person to seat his legs and feet in the second sitting direction.

According to a further embodiment, the backrest in the immediate vicinity of the seat surface is pivotally arranged on the supporting structure by means of the pivoting device, so that the first seat device and the second seat device can be formed by the same seat surface and the same backrest. In particular, the seat surface and the backrest are designed so that it is possible to use different sides of the backrest for support. This way you can Passenger choose his individual seating position, without having to manipulate adjacent seat devices.

In the context of the invention, it is stated that supporting means are provided for supporting the backrest and cooperate with the backrest in such a way that supporting forces exerted by a person on the backrest-both in the first and in the second position of the backrest-are diverted into the supporting structure can, without the backrest would be undesirably moved out of the first position or the second position. The support means may, for example, a locking mechanism, whereby the backrest is fixed in both the first position, as well as in the second position and does not move when loaded by backrests. Advantageously, the supporting means for this purpose comprise an actuatable release mechanism which releases the action of the locking mechanism.

According to an exemplary embodiment, the support means may for example be formed by a part of the folding seat surface, wherein the folding seat is disposed immediately adjacent to the pivotable backrest on the support structure and does not contribute to the formation of the second seat device. Consequently, the folding seat is arranged in the longitudinal direction just next to the seat, which causes together with the backrest, the second seat device. In particular, a stop is formed on the folding seat, against the backrest is supported in the second position under load by a person. In this way, a simple and inexpensive embodiment of the invention is made possible.

According to an alternative embodiment, the supporting means, in particular comprising a locking mechanism and a release mechanism, are integrated in the pivoting device.

For example, the pivoting device could be hinge-like outdated, with sockets or parts of the hinge can be fixed to each other and blocked.

In this context, a form of expression is disclosed wherein the pivoting device has a bayonet-type similar hinge. A first hinge part is displaceable parallel to the pivot axis relative to the other hinge part, so that both, correspondingly formed hinge parts in the first position and in the second position can be positively interlocked with each other. The expression of the hinge is chosen such that the backrest must be briefly raised to change the position in the course of a stroke in the vertical direction to release the positive engagement, then can be pivoted and in the other position by lowering the backrest against the stroke direction in turn can snap. In this case, the locking positive locking of the hinge is restored. This means that the change of the backrest from the first to the second position - and vice versa - can be done very easily and intuitively. Furthermore, such a pivoting device with integrated, positive Abstütztmitteln can be easily made and installed and is robust against wear and destruction.

According to one embodiment, a handle may be provided on the backrest to make the adjustment particularly simple and ergonomic.

According to one embodiment, a vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, is proposed, which has at least one of the vehicle bodies described herein, and is rollably supported via a wheel train. According to one embodiment, the vehicle may be designed as a rail vehicle, wherein the car body is mounted on bogies for rolling on rails.

The term "essentially" is to be understood in the context of what has been described in each case. There is no intention to unduly extend what has been described, but to ensure a functional consideration of what has been described. For example, when talking about a substantially horizontally oriented folding axis in the foregoing, this means that the seat supported by the folding device thus has a substantially horizontal orientation. A person sitting on this seat would be able to sit comfortably on this substantially horizontal seat without slipping down due to a tendency or feeling uncomfortable due to undesired inclination. In this case, therefore, a folding axis which is inclined at plus or minus 1 ° or 2 ° with respect to the horizontal would also be subsumed under the term "substantially horizontally oriented".
