Abstract

In this railway sleeping carriage, compartments (10.3; 10.4; 10.5; 10.6) are provided which are arranged in the central part of the carriage and are accessible from a continuous longitudinal corridor (7). Two adjacent compartments have a common access. From the longitudinal corridor (7) a lower flight of stairs (13) leads to the compartments (10.3; 10.4) located on the lower level and an upper flight of stairs (15) to the compartments (10.5; 10.6) located on the upper level. The vestibules (11; 12; 14) connected by the flights of stairs (13; 15) are arranged outside the compartments (10.3; 10.4; 10.5; 10.6). Either the compartments (10.3; 10.4; 10.5; 10.6) can be closed off from the vestibule (11; 12) or the vestibule (11; 12) from the common access using compartment doors. When the common access is closed off, the vestibule (11; 12) forms a passage between two adjacent compartments. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Eisenbahn-Schlafwagen mit im Mittelteil des Wagens mehrstöckig angeordneten Abteilen, die von einem durchgehenden Längsgang zugänglich sind.The invention relates to a railway sleeper with multi-storey compartments arranged in the middle part of the wagon, which are accessible from a continuous longitudinal aisle.

Aus dem Fachbeitrag "Doppelstock-Schlafwagen mit Einbettkabinen" von R. Brinkmann, ZEV-Glas. Ann. 108 (1984) Nr. 10 Oktober, S. 287, ist ein Schlafwagen mit im Mittelteil des Wagens zweistöckig angeordneten Abteilen und einem durchgehenden Seitengang bekannt. Der Höhenunterschied zwischen dem Seitengang und den Abteilen wird durch in die Abteile eingebaute Treppen überwunden.From the technical article "Double-decker sleeping car with single-bed cabins" by R. Brinkmann, ZEV-Glas. Ann. 108 (1984) No. 10 October, p. 287, a sleeping car with compartments arranged on two levels in the middle part of the car and a continuous side aisle is known. The height difference between the side aisle and the compartments is overcome by stairs built into the compartments.

Der Nachteil dieser bekannten Einrichtung liegt darin, dass durch die Anordnung der Treppen in den Abteilen die Unfallgefahr erhöht, die Innenaufteilung beeinträchtigt und der beschränkt verfügbare Abteilraum auf Kosten des Komforts vermindert wird. Ein weiterer Nachteil liegt darin, dass der Servicebetrieb des Schlafwagens erschwert wird, was zusätzliche Personalkosten verursacht.The disadvantage of this known device is that the arrangement of the stairs in the compartments increases the risk of accidents, impairs the interior layout and reduces the restricted compartment space at the expense of comfort. Another disadvantage is that the service operation of the sleeping car is made difficult, which causes additional personnel costs.

Hier will die Erfindung Abhilfe schaffen. Die Erfindung, wie sie in den Ansprüchen gekennzeichnet ist, löst die Aufgabe, einen Schlafwagen mit veränderbarer Abteilgrösse zu schaffen, bei dem ein höchstmöglicher Komfort für den Reisenden bei einer möglichst grossen Bettengesamtzahl gewährleistet ist.The invention seeks to remedy this. The invention, as characterized in the claims, solves the problem of creating a sleeper with a variable compartment size, in which the greatest possible comfort for the traveler is guaranteed with the largest possible number of beds.

Die durch die Erfindung erreichten Vorteile sind im wesentlichen darin zu sehen, dass neue Dienstleistungen in Form von freizügiger Verwendbarkeit der Abteile in Sachen Abteilgrösse ermöglicht werden, dass die Betriebskosten gesenkt werden und dass Reisen im Schlafwagen durch konkurrenzfähige Fahrpreise attraktiv werden.The advantages achieved by the invention are essentially to be seen in the fact that new services in the form of free use of the compartments in terms of compartment size are made possible, that the operating costs are reduced and that trips in the sleeping car are made attractive by competitive fares.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand von lediglich einen Ausführungsweg darstellenden Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

Der erfindungsgemässe Schlafwagen ist von einem nicht dargestellten Steig über Einstiegstüren 4 oder von den benachbarten Eisenbahnwagen über Übergangseinrichtungen 5 erreichbar. Die Einstiegstüren 4 und Übergangseinrichtungen 5 münden in auf Zwischendeck-Niveau 2 liegende Verbindungsgänge 6, die ihrerseits in einen leicht erhöhten Längsgang 7 übergehen. An den Enden des Schlafwagens sind auf dem Zwischendeck 2 sanitäre Einrichtungen 8, Räume für Versorgungseinrichtungen 9 und je ein Zweibettabteil 10.1; 10.2 untergebracht. Im Mittelteil des Schlafwagens sind auf dem Unterdeck 1 über einen unteren Vorraum 11 zwei Zweibettabteile 10.3; 10.4 und auf dem Oberdeck 3 über einen oberen Vorraum 12 zwei Zweibettabteile 10.5; 10.6 erreichbar. Eine untere Treppe 13 verbindet den unteren Vorraum 11 mit einem auf Längsgang-Niveau 7 liegenden mittleren Vorraum 14. Eine obere Treppe 15 führt vom mittleren Vorraum 14 zum oberen Vorraum 12. Der mittlere Vorraum 14 ist ausserhalb des Längsgangs 7, der untere und der obere Vorraum 11; 12 ist ausserhalb der Abteile 10.3; 10.4; 10.5; 10.6 angeordnet. Der mittlere Vorraum 14 ist gegen den Längsgang 7 mit einer nicht dargestellten Gangtür abgeschlossen. Jedes Zweibettabteil 10.3; 10.4; 10.5; 10.6 wird durch eine Abteiltür 16 vom Vorraum 11; 12 getrennt. Die Inneneinrichtung eines Zweibettabteils 10.1; 10.2; 10.3; 10.4; 10.5; 10.6 besteht im wesentlichen aus zwei übereinander angeordneten Betten 17, einem Waschbecken 18 und einer nicht dargestellten Möblierung.1 to 4, 1 denotes a lower deck, 2 an intermediate deck and 3 an upper deck. The sleeping car according to the invention can be reached from a climb (not shown) via entrance doors 4 or from the neighboring railway cars via transition devices 5. The entrance doors 4 and transition devices 5 open into connecting corridors 6 lying on the intermediate deck level 2, which in turn merge into a slightly elevated longitudinal corridor 7. At the ends of the sleeping car 2 sanitary facilities 8, rooms for utilities 9 and a two-bed compartment 10.1; 10.2 housed. In the middle part of the sleeping car on the lower deck 1 via a lower anteroom 11 two two-bed compartments 10.3; 10.4 and on the upper deck 3 via an upper vestibule 12 two two-bed compartments 10.5; 10.6 reachable. A lower staircase 13 connects the lower vestibule 11 to a central vestibule 14 located at the longitudinal aisle level 7. An upper staircase 15 leads from the central vestibule 14 to the upper vestibule 12. The central vestibule 14 is outside the longitudinal corridor 7, the lower and the upper Vestibule 11; 12 is outside of compartments 10.3; 10.4; 10.5; 10.6 arranged. The middle vestibule 14 is closed against the longitudinal aisle 7 with an aisle door, not shown. Each two-bed compartment 10.3; 10.4; 10.5; 10.6 is through a compartment door 16 from the hall 11; 12 separated. The interior of a two-bed compartment 10.1; 10.2; 10.3; 10.4; 10.5; 10.6 essentially consists of two beds 17 arranged one above the other, a wash basin 18 and furniture (not shown).

In einer weiteren Ausführungsvariante kann anstelle der als Zugang vorgesehenen Treppen 13; 15 ein Aufzug angeordnet werden, der vom Längsgang 7 auf Unterdeck-Niveau oder auf Oberdeck-Niveau führt.In a further embodiment variant, instead of the stairs 13; 15 an elevator can be arranged which leads from the longitudinal aisle 7 to the lower deck level or to the upper deck level.

Gemäss Fig. 2 kann jede Abteiltür 16 in das Zweibettabteil 10.3; 10.4; 10.5; 10.6 oder in den Vorraum 11; 12 geschwenkt werden. Anstelle der als Schwenktür ausgebildeten Abteiltür 16 könnte auch eine Schiebetür angebracht werden. Die Abteiltüren 16 sind so bemessen, dass die in den Vorraum 11; 12 geschwenkten Abteiltüren 16 die Treppen 13; 15 vom Vorraum 11; 12 trennen und zwei benachbarte Zweibettabteile 10.3; 10.4; 10.5; 10.6 über den Vorraum 11; 12 verbinden, wodurch ein Vierbettabteil entsteht. Je zwei durch die Treppen 13; 15 verbundene Vierbettabteile sind bei geöffneten Abteiltüren 16 und bei geschlossener Gangtür auch als Achtbettabteil verwendbar.2, each compartment door 16 into the two-bed compartment 10.3; 10.4; 10.5; 10.6 or in the anteroom 11; 12 can be pivoted. Instead of the compartment door 16 designed as a swing door, a sliding door could also be attached. The compartment doors 16 are dimensioned such that the in the anteroom 11; 12 pivoted compartment doors 16 the stairs 13; 15 from the anteroom 11; 12 separate and two adjacent two-bed compartments 10.3; 10.4; 10.5; 10.6 over the vestibule 11; Connect 12, creating a four-bed compartment. Two each through the stairs 13; 15 connected four-bed compartments can also be used as an eight-bed compartment when the compartment doors 16 are open and when the aisle door is closed.
