Abstract

Apparatus for assisting passengers in standing within a car of a funicular is described which has shallow footing troughs with convexly shaped floor sections joining the troughs. The floor thus formed does not have any sharp angled shoulders so as to protect the passengers from injury if one should fall. The likelihood of such an accident occurring is less due to the absence of such shoulders as passengers have sounder footing. Bumps or strips can also be provided for safer footing.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Personen-Fahrzeug für eine Transporteinrichtung mit mehrheitlich geneigtem, durch Führungsorgane bestimmtem Streckenverlauf nach dem Ober­begriff von Patentanspruch 1.The invention relates to a passenger vehicle for a transport device with a predominantly inclined route determined by guide elements according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Bei den Wagen von Standseilbahnen ist es bekannt, den Boden des Fahrgastraumes treppenartig auszubilden. Dabei sind die Stufen der Treppe so ausgelegt, dass der von den Trittflächen derselben mit der Längsachse des Fahrzeuges eingeschlossene Winkel etwa dem mittleren Neigungswinkel der Strecke entspricht. Diese Ausgestaltung bezweckt, den Fahrgästen das Stehen auf Standflächen zu ermöglichen, die zur Horizontalen einen möglichst kleinen Winkel ein­schliessen.In the case of funicular cars, it is known to design the floor of the passenger compartment in a step-like manner. The steps of the stairs are designed such that the angle enclosed by the treads of the stairs with the longitudinal axis of the vehicle corresponds approximately to the average angle of inclination of the route. The purpose of this configuration is to enable the passengers to stand on stand areas which form the smallest possible angle to the horizontal.

Ein grundsätzlicher Nachteil dieser Ausgestaltung inner­halb eines Abteiles besteht jedoch darin, dass die Trep­penstufen Hindernisse beim Begehen des Fahrgastraumes, beispielsweise beim Ein- und Aussteigen, wie auch beim Verschieben in diesem unter der Einwirkung nachströmender Personen darstellen. Besonders bei stark gefülltem Fahr­gastraum sind diese Hindernisse kaum sichtbar und es besteht jedenfalls eine Stolper- bzw. Sturzgefahr, die durchaus mit Unfallfolgen verbunden sein kann.A fundamental disadvantage of this configuration within a compartment, however, is that the steps represent obstacles when entering the passenger compartment, for example when getting in and out, as well as when moving in it under the influence of inflowing people. Especially when the passenger compartment is heavily filled, these obstacles are barely visible and there is at least a risk of stumbling or falling, which can certainly be associated with the consequences of an accident.

Als Hindernisse sind die Treppenstufen dann beseitigt, wenn der Fahrgastraum in bekannter Weise in Abteile unterteilt ist und die Länge der Trittflächen mit der Länge der Abteile übereinstimmt. Die einzelnen Abteile weisen damit einen ebenen Boden auf.The steps are eliminated as obstacles when the passenger compartment is divided into compartments in a known manner and the length of the treads with Length of the compartments matches. The individual compartments therefore have a flat floor.

Selbst dann, wenn die Stolpergefahr in der angegebenen Weise beseitigt ist, vermag die bekannte Ausgestaltung den heute gestellten Ansprüchen an den Komfort des Fahrgastes nicht zu genügen. In der Regel ist es nicht möglich, die Steigung der Strecke konstant zu halten und damit dem Fahrgast über die volle Streckenlänge eine sichere und bequeme Standfläche zu bieten. Die Unterteilung in Abtei­le, deren Länge jener der Treppenstufen gleich ist, zieht neben den Trennwänden auch eine entsprechende Anzahl von Türen und Schliessmechanismen nach sich, welche sich auf die Kosten des Fahrzeuges sowohl in der Gestehung wie auch im Unterhalt verteuernd auswirken. Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, in kostengünstiger Weise den Fahrgästen eine Standfläche anzubieten, die auch bei Veränderung der momentanen Steigung der Transportstrecke ein bequemes Anpassen der Gleichgewichtslage ermöglicht. Die Lösung der erfindungsgemässen Aufgabe gelingt mit den Massnahmen des Kennzeichens von Anspruch 1.Even if the risk of stumbling is eliminated in the manner specified, the known design is unable to meet the demands made today on the comfort of the passenger. As a rule, it is not possible to keep the gradient of the route constant and thus to offer the passenger a safe and comfortable footprint over the full route length. The subdivision into compartments, the length of which is the same as that of the stairs, also results in a corresponding number of doors and locking mechanisms in addition to the partitions, which have an expensive effect on the cost of the vehicle both in terms of layout and maintenance. The object of the invention is to offer the passengers a standing area in a cost-effective manner, which enables a comfortable adjustment of the equilibrium position even when the current gradient of the transport route changes. The object of the invention is achieved with the measures of the characterizing part of claim 1.

Da die Standmulden absatzlos ineinander übergehen, lässt sich der Boden des Fahrgastraumes mit erheblich verminder­ter Stolpergefahr begehen; es fehlen quer zur Längsrich­tung verlaufende Hindernisse. Für die Fahrt können sich die Fahrgäste einer der Längsseiten des Fahrzeuges zuge­kehrt aufstellen und finden dabei für beide Füsse in einer oder mehreren Standmulden Schuhstellflächen. Da im Profil betrachtet einander benachbarte Flächenteile der Stand­mulden unterschiedliche Neigungswinkel aufweisen, lässt sich durch geringfügige seitliche Verschiebungen eines oder beider Schuhe die Gleichgewichtslage auch bei solchen Steigungsveränderungen im Verlauf der Strecke bequem beibehalten, welche durch verstärkt einseitige Beinbe­lastung schlecht aufgefangen werden können. Es kann damit auch ein Rutschen der Schuhe ausgeschlossen werden.Since the troughs merge seamlessly into one another, the floor of the passenger compartment can be walked on with a significantly reduced risk of tripping over; there are no obstacles running transversely to the longitudinal direction. For the journey, passengers can position themselves facing one of the long sides of the vehicle and find shoe storage spaces for both feet in one or more recessed stands. As viewed in profile, adjacent surface parts of the standing troughs have different angles of inclination, the slight equilibrium position of one or both shoes allows the position of equilibrium to be achieved even with such Easily maintain slope changes over the course of the route, which are difficult to absorb due to increased one-sided leg loading. It can also prevent the shoes from slipping.

Vorzugsweise ist die Teilung des Bodens so gewählt, dass mit Schritt auch Kinder beim Begehen die Standmulden als Treppenstufen benutzen, d.h. mit einem einzigen Schritt von Standmulde zu Standmulde gelangen können.The division of the floor is preferably selected so that with step children can also use the recesses as stairs when walking, i.e. can get from stand recess to stand recess in a single step.

Grundsätzlich ist für den Boden des Fahrgastraumes eine Standmulden-Teilung vorzuziehen, die bei einer Person durchschnittlicher Körpergrösse in einer leicht gegrätsch­ten Stellung, also einem Fussabstand von etwa 300mm, entweder beide Schuhe in der gleichen Standmulde oder an etwa gleichen Orten des Muldenprofils von zwei unmittelbar benachbarten Standmulden postieren lassen.Basically, a floor recess division is preferable for the floor of the passenger compartment, which, in the case of a person of average height in a lightly straddled position, i.e. a foot clearance of around 300mm, either both shoes in the same standing recess or at approximately the same locations in the recess profile of two immediately adjacent ones Have standing troughs posted.

Es hat sich gezeigt, dass mit einem konstanten Krümmungs-­radius zwischen dem etwa 0,8-fachen und dem 2-fachen der Teilung ein bequemes Stehen und einfaches Auskorrigieren der Gleichgewichtslage möglich ist.It has been shown that with a constant radius of curvature between approximately 0.8 times and 2 times the division, it is possible to stand comfortably and easily correct the equilibrium position.

Vorzugsweise sind die Standmulden durch konvex gekrümmte Bodenabschnitte miteinander verbunden. Diese Massnahme ergibt eine weitere Verminderung der Stolpergefahr beim Begehen des Fahrgastraumes, da kantige Uebergänge zwischen den Standmulden fehlen. Darüberhinaus kann zumindest auf Teilen dieser konvex gekrümmten Bodenabschnitte bei geeignet gewähltem Krümmungsradius ebenfalls Aufstellung genommen werden, wodurch sich die Anzahl der möglichen Standpositionen bzw. Stehplätze in einem Fahrgastraum von gegebener Bodenfläche vergrössert.The standing troughs are preferably connected to one another by convexly curved base sections. This measure results in a further reduction in the risk of tripping when entering the passenger compartment, since there are no angular transitions between the troughs. In addition, at least on parts of these convexly curved floor sections, with a suitably selected radius of curvature, can also be set up, as a result of which the number of possible standing positions or standing places in a passenger compartment of a given floor area increases.

Nachfolgend sind zwei beispielsweise Ausführungsformen des erfindungsgemässen Personenfahrzeuges im Zusammenhang mit einer Standseilbahn anhand der Zeichnungen näher erläu­tert. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 einen Standseilbahnwagen schematisch in Seiten­ansicht mit einem Standmulden aufweisenden Boden im Fahrgastraum;
  • Fig. 2 im Längsprofil eine beispielsweise Ausführungs­form des Bodens bei Darstellung der Standmulden in vergrössertem Massstab mit einer beispiels­weisen Standposition bei gegebener momentaner Steigung;
  • Fig. 3 die zweite Ausführungsform in einer Fig. 2 ent­sprechenden Darstellung.
Two exemplary embodiments of the passenger vehicle according to the invention in connection with a funicular are explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings. Show it:
  • Figure 1 shows a funicular car schematically in side view with a floor recessed floor in the passenger compartment.
  • 2 shows in the longitudinal profile an embodiment of the floor, for example, showing the standing troughs on an enlarged scale with an exemplary standing position for a given current gradient;
  • Fig. 3 shows the second embodiment in a Fig. 2 corresponding representation.

In Fig. 1 ist mit 2 ein Wagen einer Standseilbahn bezeich­net, der über Räder 4 auf einer durch ein Gleis 6 bestimm­ten geneigten Strecke geführt ist und auf dieser über ein nicht dargestelltes Zugseil angetrieben wird. Der Wagen 2 weist an beiden Enden 8 und 10 Türen 12 auf, die in Sei­tenwänden 14 desselben vorgesehen sind und einen Fahrgast­raum 15 zugänglich machen. Der Fahrgastraum 15 weist einen Boden 16 auf, dessen treppenartige Ausgestaltung in den Figuren 2 und 3 deutlicher dargestellt ist.In Fig. 1, 2 denotes a trolley of a funicular railway, which is guided over wheels 4 on an inclined route determined by a track 6 and is driven thereon by a traction cable, not shown. The carriage 2 has 8 and 10 doors 12 at both ends, which are provided in the side walls 14 thereof and make a passenger compartment 15 accessible. The passenger compartment 15 has a floor 16, the stair-like configuration of which is shown more clearly in FIGS. 2 and 3.

Erfindungsgemäss weist der treppenartige Boden 16 bzw. 16′ Standmulden 20 bzw. 20′ auf, die ohne Absätze aneinander anschliessen. In den dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen weisen die Standmulden 20 bzw. 20′ einen konstanten Krümmungsradius 22 bzw. 22′ auf und folgen sich mit einer Teilung auf 24 bzw. 24′. Konvex gekrümmte Bodenabschnitte 26 bzw. 26′ mit einem Krümmungsradius 28, 28′ verbinden die Standmulden 20 bzw. 20′ absatzlos miteinander. Wie aus den Figuren 2 und 3 weiter ersichtlich ist, sind auf dem Boden 16 bzw. 16′ des Fahrgastraumes 14 flächige Erhe­bungen 30 bzw. 30′ aus einem auch bei Nässe gleithemmenden Material vorgesehen. Der Boden 16 bzw. 16′ selbst kann durchgehend mit einem derartigen Belag (nicht dargestellt) ausgestattet sein, der die Erhebungen selbst aufweist. Anstelle der flächigen Erhebungen könnte der Boden bzw. Bodenbelag auch mit Rippen und Rillen ausgestattet sein, die z.B. parallel zur Erstreckung der erfindungsgemässen Standmulden verlaufen.According to the step-like floor 16 or 16 'troughs 20 and 20', which connect to each other without paragraphs. In the illustrated embodiments, the troughs 20 and 20 'have a constant Radius of curvature 22 or 22 'and follow with a division to 24 or 24'. Convexly curved bottom sections 26 and 26 'with a radius of curvature 28, 28' connect the standing troughs 20 and 20 'with each other without a step. As can also be seen from FIGS. 2 and 3, flat elevations 30 and 30 'are provided on the floor 16 and 16' of the passenger compartment 14, respectively, from a material which is slip-resistant even when wet. The floor 16 or 16 'itself can be continuously equipped with such a covering (not shown), which has the elevations themselves. Instead of the flat elevations, the floor or floor covering could also be equipped with ribs and grooves which, for example, run parallel to the extension of the standing troughs according to the invention.

Die in den Figuren 2 und 3 dargestellten Ausführungs­beispiele unterscheiden sich insofern voneinander, als die Teilung 24′ gemäss Fig. 3 grösser als die Teilung 24 nach Fig. 2 ist. Dementsprechend ist in Fig. 2 die Standposi­tion eines Fahrgastes angedeutet durch zwei Beine 32 bzw. 34 dargestellt, bei welcher dessen Schuhe 36 in zwei un­mittelbar benachbarten Standmulden 20 plaziert sind. Dabei nehmen die Schuhe 36 im Profil der beiden Standmulden 20 annähernd gleiche Abschnitte in Anspruch. Die Stellung der Schuhe 36 entspricht bei einer Person mittlerer Körper­grösse einer leichten Grätschung und ist etwa parallel zur Erstreckung der Standmulden gerichtet. Dies entspricht einer normalen, einer der Seitenwände zugekehrten Auf­stellung der Fahrgäste während der Fahrt.The exemplary embodiments shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 differ from one another in that the division 24 'according to FIG. 3 is greater than the division 24 according to FIG. 2. Accordingly, the standing position of a passenger is indicated in FIG. 2 by two legs 32 and 34, in which the shoes 36 are placed in two immediately adjacent standing recesses 20. The shoes 36 take approximately the same sections in the profile of the two recesses 20. The position of the shoes 36 corresponds to a slight straining in the case of a person of medium height and is oriented approximately parallel to the extension of the standing troughs. This corresponds to a normal position of the passengers facing one of the side walls during the journey.

Der momentanen, etwa maximalen Steigung der Strecke ent­sprechend, die durch den Winkel 38 wiedergegeben wird, ist eine Knickung der Fussgelenke 40 angedeutet. Diese Knickung gestattet, den Körperschwerpunkt innerhalb der durch den Schuhabstand 42 bestimmten Basis zu halten und damit eine stabile Gleichgewichtslage einzunehmen.A curvature of the ankles 40 is indicated in accordance with the current, approximately maximum gradient of the route, which is represented by the angle 38. These Kinking allows the body's center of gravity to be kept within the base determined by the shoe spacing 42 and thus to maintain a stable equilibrium position.

Offensichtlich ist diese Gleichgewichtslage bei geringerer als der dargestellen Steigung ohne oder mit einer geringe­ren Knickung der Fussgelenke einzuhalten. Sofern er­wünscht, können zu diesem Zweck jedoch auch beide oder nur einer der Schuhe 36 vom Abschnitt 28 weiter entfernt werden. Im Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 2 liegt die Tei­lung 24 etwa bei 300mm. Es sind jedoch Teilungen zwischen 250mm und 400mm denkbar, ohne dass damit bei Benutzung von zwei Standmulden unbequeme Stellungen, sowohl inbezug auf den Schuhabstand 42 wie auch bezüglich der Knickung der Fussgelenke 40, eingenommen werden müssten. Der Krümmungs­radius 22 beträgt in der Ausführungsform nach Fig. 2 450mm.Obviously, this equilibrium position is to be maintained with less than the slope shown without or with less kinking of the ankles. If desired, however, both or only one of the shoes 36 can be further removed from the section 28 for this purpose. In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 2, the pitch 24 is approximately 300 mm. However, pitches between 250 mm and 400 mm are conceivable without having to assume uncomfortable positions when using two standing recesses, both in relation to the shoe distance 42 and in relation to the buckling of the ankles 40. The radius of curvature 22 is 450 mm in the embodiment according to FIG. 2.

Allgemein richtet sich dieser Krümmungsradius 22 in dem Sinn nach der Teilung 24, dass Standorte für die Schuhe zur Verfügung gestellt werden sollen, an welchen die der Steigung entgegengesetzte Neigung des Muldenprofiles eine durch bequeme Knickung in den Fussgelenken 40 korrigier­bare Annäherung an die Horizontale ergibt. Mithin hat sich das Muldenprofil auch nach dem Mass der Steigungsänderung auf der Strecke zu richten. Im dargestellten Ausführungs­beispiel ist angenommen, dass die Steigungsänderung 30% ausmacht und die maximale Steigung entsprechend dem Winkel 38 bei 50% liegt. Wesentlich grössere Muldentiefen als die mit 44 bezeichnete dieses Ausführungsbeispieles sollten wegen der zunehmenden Stolpergefahr vermieden werden. Für die konvexe Krümmung der Bodenabschnitte 26 genügt ein vergleichsweise kleiner Radius 28 von 30mm bis 50mm.In general, this radius of curvature 22 is based on the division 24 that locations for the shoes are to be made available at which the inclination of the trough profile opposite the slope results in an approximation to the horizontal that can be corrected by comfortable bending in the ankles 40. The trough profile must therefore also be based on the extent of the change in gradient on the route. In the exemplary embodiment shown, it is assumed that the change in gradient is 30% and the maximum gradient corresponding to the angle 38 is 50%. Significantly greater trough depths than that of this exemplary embodiment, designated 44, should be avoided because of the increasing risk of stumbling. A comparatively small radius 28 of 30 mm to 50 mm is sufficient for the convex curvature of the base sections 26.

Im Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 3, für welches die gleiche Strecke wie die im Zusammenhang mit Fig. 2 angenommene unterstellt ist, beträgt die Teilung 24′ 500mm und wie ersichtlich sind die Schuhe 36′ eines Fahrgastes in einer einzigen Standmulde 20′ im Abstand 42′ von 320mm postiert. Dabei ruht bei der grössten Steigung zwar praktisch das volle Körpergewicht auf dem Bein 32′, jedoch ist ein leichtes Verspannen der Beine über das Bein 34′ zur Einnahme einer sicheren Standposition möglich. Bei den angenommenen Steigungsänderungen der Strecke ist eine Korrektur der Gleichgewichtslage schon allein durch Gewichtsverlagerung möglich, ohne dass zwingend auch die Position der Schuhe 36′ verändert werden müsste. Der Krümmungsradius 22′ ist gleich gross wie die Teilung 24′, während der Radius 28′ 40mm beträgt.In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 3, for which the same route as that assumed in connection with FIG. 2 is assumed, the pitch is 24 '500 mm and, as can be seen, the shoes 36' of a passenger in a single standing recess 20 'at a distance of 42' of 320mm. At the greatest incline, practically the full body weight rests on the leg 32 ', but a slight tensioning of the legs over the leg 34' is possible to take a safe standing position. With the assumed changes in incline of the route, a correction of the equilibrium position is possible simply by shifting the weight, without the position of the shoes 36 'also necessarily having to be changed. The radius of curvature 22 'is the same size as the pitch 24', while the radius 28 'is 40mm.

Aus Gründen der Vollständigkeit sei erwähnt, dass die Standmulden bzw. Treppenstufen nicht zwingend rechtwinklig zur Längsrichtung des Wagens 2 bzw. dessen Seitenwänden verlaufen müssen. Insbesondere ist auch möglich, dass diese unter einem Winkel verlaufen, der um 2-5° von einem rechten Winkel abweicht. Andererseits ist es auch denkbar, den Treppenstufen bzw. Standmulden einen leicht gekrümmten Verlauf zu geben.For the sake of completeness, it should be mentioned that the standing recesses or steps do not necessarily have to run at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the carriage 2 or its side walls. In particular, it is also possible that these run at an angle that deviates from a right angle by 2-5 °. On the other hand, it is also conceivable to give the stairs or recesses a slightly curved course.

Während sich im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel der Wagenboden 16 generell parallel zum Gleis 6 erstreckt, ist es auch möglich, diesen zum Gleis einen spitzen Winkel einschliessen zu lassen. Dieser spitze Winkel, der die Steigung der Strecke zum Teil kompensiert, kann so gewählt sein, dass der Wagenboden 16 bei der kleinsten Steigung der Strecke annähernd horizontal verläuft.While in the exemplary embodiment shown the carriage floor 16 generally extends parallel to the track 6, it is also possible to have the latter enclosed at an acute angle to the track. This acute angle, which partially compensates for the gradient of the route, can be chosen in this way be that the carriage floor 16 runs approximately horizontally at the smallest slope of the route.

Die erfindungsgemässen Standmulden bieten den Fahrgästen auch bei einer anderen als der dargestellten parallelen Ausrichtung der Schuhe bezüglich der Erstreckungsrichtung der Standmulden vorteilhafte Aufstellmöglichkeiten.The standing troughs according to the invention also offer the passengers advantageous installation options with a different orientation of the shoes than the illustrated with respect to the direction of extension of the standing troughs.
