Abstract

Doubledeck coach with entry and exit doors (2) on both sides at both ends, an upper and a lower passenger compartment, with doors to the passenger compartments and wagon-intercommunicating doors (3) at both ends of the coach. The access to the passenger compartments in the lower deck and upper deck (5,(4)) is provided from the entry or exit vestibule (9) through a single access door (6) which is arranged between the entry or exit vestibule (9) and an intermediate floor (10). From the intermediate floor (10), the upper and lower passenger compartments can be reached via a descending stair (8) or an ascending stair (7). The intermediate floor (10) has the function of providing safety and comfort. The safety feature is that the access door is not positioned directly in front of or behind a staircase and the comfort feature is that the ascent from the lower deck (5) to the upper deck is interrupted with this intermediate floor (10). The short descending stair (8) to the passenger compartment in the lower deck (5) is replaced in one design variant with an arcuate, wheelchair-compatible ramp. In an "economy" design, a multi-functional staircase column is provided between the stairs. <IMAGE>

Description

Doppelstock-Reisezugwagen mit beidseitigen Ein- Ausstiegstüren an beiden Enden, Vorräumen bei den Ein- Ausstiegstiegstüren, einem oberen und einem unteren Fahrgastraum, mit Türen zu den Fahrgasträumen und Wagendurchgangstüren an den Wagenstirnfronten. Es ist üblich, Reisezugwagen so zu unterteilen, dass separate Vorrräume und Fahrgasträume entstehen. Bei Doppelstockwagen stellt sich ein zusätzliches Problem in der Form der Ueberwindung von internen Höhenunterschieden und in der Art und Weise der Separation von Fahrgasträumen und Vorräumen.Double-decker passenger coaches with double-sided entry and exit doors at both ends, vestibules at the entry and exit doors, an upper and a lower passenger compartment, with doors to the passenger compartments and passage doors on the front ends of the vehicle. It is common to subdivide passenger carriages so that separate vestibules and passenger compartments are created. With double-decker carriages, there is an additional problem in the form of overcoming internal height differences and in the manner in which passenger compartments and vestibules are separated.

Die amerikanische Patentschrift US-2,811,932 zeigt und beschreibt einen Doppelstock-Reisezugwagen in verschiedenen Ausführungen. Als generelles Merkmal ist der höher gelegene Durchgangskorridor zu erwähnen. Für eine Kombination mit normalen Wagen ist eine Spezialausführung vorgesehen welche einenends den hohen Korridordurchgang aufweist und anderenends eine Höhenanpassung mittels Treppenniedergang auf die normale Höhe besitzt. Die verschiedenen Fahrgast-, Spezial- und Vorräume sind untereinander mit Korridoren und Treppen verbunden und mit einer grossen Anzahl Schwenktüren gegenseitig separierbar.The American patent US-2,811,932 shows and describes a double-decker coach in various designs. The higher corridor is a general feature. For a combination with normal cars, a special version is provided which has the high corridor passage on one end and the height adjustment at the other end by means of a staircase to the normal height. The various passenger, special and anterooms are connected to each other with corridors and stairs and can be separated from one another with a large number of swing doors.

Die grosse Anzahl und Art der Türen scheint etwas unpraktisch und aufwendig zu sein. Schwenktüren benötigen zusätzlichen Platz für ihre Funktion und können sich in der gezeigten Konzeption gegenseitig behindern. Direkt vor oder nach einer Treppe vorgesehene Türen bergen eine gewisse Unfallgefahr. Die Wagendurchgangshöhe auf nicht normaler Höhe bedingt Adapter-Ausführungen für die Kombination mit normalen Eindeckwagen.The large number and type of doors appears to be somewhat impractical and complex. Swing doors require additional space for their function and can interfere with each other in the concept shown. Doors provided directly in front of or after a staircase pose a certain risk of accidents. The carriage passage height at a non-normal height requires adapter versions for the combination with normal mounting cars.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Doppelstock-Reisezugwagen zu schaffen, der in einer einzigen Ausführungsform sowohl mit Doppelstockwagen wie auch mit normalen Eindeckwagen direkt kombinierbar ist, der mit möglichst wenigen und platzsparenden Türen eine Separation von Einstiegs- und Fahrgasträumen ermöglicht und welcher bezüglich Anordnung und Form von Treppen und Türen die grösstmögliche Sicherheit für die Benützer bietet.The present invention has for its object to provide a double-decker coach, which can be combined directly in a single embodiment with both double-decker as well as normal covers, which allows a separation of boarding and passenger spaces with as few and space-saving doors as possible and which with respect Arrangement and shape of stairs and doors offers the greatest possible safety for users.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Anspruch 1 gekennzeichnete Erfindung gelöst.This object is achieved by the invention characterized in claim 1.

Die durch die Erfindung erreichten Vorteile liegen im wesentlichen darin, dass mit einer einzigen Ausführungsform alle Bedürfnisse abgedeckt werden bezüglich Kombination mit bestehenden Wagen und Sicherheit für die Benützer. Ferner besteht die Möglichkeit mittels kleiner internen Anpassungen den Verwendungsbereich zu erweitern, dass beispielsweise das Unterdeck mit Rollstühlen zugänglich wird. Da in der einfachsten Form nur zwei interne Türen vorgesehen sind, ist der Innenausbau entsprechend kostengünstig ausführbar und die Raumausnützung verbessert.The advantages achieved by the invention lie essentially in the fact that with a single embodiment all needs are covered with regard to combination with existing vehicles and safety for the users. There is also the possibility of expanding the area of application by making small internal adjustments, so that the lower deck is accessible with wheelchairs, for example. Since in the simplest form only two internal doors are provided, the interior can be carried out at low cost and the space utilization improved.

Die Fig.3 zeigt Konzept und Raumaufteilung eines Oberdecks 4. Das Oberdeck 4 bzw. dessen Fahrgastraum ist in der dargestellten Ausführung in einen Raucher- und einen Nichtraucherraum unterteilt und mittels einer internen Schwenktür 13 klimatisch separiert. Mit 7 sind an beiden Enden des Oberdecks sich befindliche, bogenförmig angelegte Aufgangstreppen bezeichnet.The Fig.2 shows a front view of an end of the car. The transition door is designated by 3. 3.1 are transition beads, 3.2 buffers and 3.3 a car coupling.
3 shows the concept and layout of an upper deck 4. In the embodiment shown, the upper deck 4 or its passenger compartment is divided into a smoking and a non-smoking area and is climatically separated by means of an internal swing door 13. With 7 are located at both ends of the upper deck, arcuate staircases.

Die Fig.4 zeigt Konzept und Raumaufteilung des Unterdecks 5 im Bereich des Fahrgastraumes. Das Unterdeck 5 bzw. dessen Fahrgastraum ist in der dargestellten Ausführung in einen Raucher- und einen Nichtraucherraum unterteilt und mittels einer internen Schiebetür 12 klimatisch separiert. Mit 8 sind an beiden Enden des Unterdecks 5 sich befindliche Niedergangstreppen bezeichnet. Aufgangstreppen 7 und Niedergangstreppen 8 führen je von einem an den beiden Enden sich befindlichen Zwischenboden 10 in die Fahrgasträume im Oberdeck 4 und im Unterdeck 5. An beiden Wagenenden befinden sich hinter den Ein- Ausstiegstüren 2 je ein Ein- Ausstiegsvorraum 9, welcher je mittels einer Zugangstür 6 vom auf gleicher Höhe und in den Fahrgasträumen sich befindlichen Zwischenböden 10 räumlich getrennt wird. Von den Ein- Ausstiegsvorräumen 9 sind durch einen Korridor 11 die stirnseitigen Wagenenden und die Stirnfront-Uebergangstüren 3 erreichbar. In den Eckenbereichen der Wagenenden im Bereich der Korridore 11 befinden sich Apparatekästen 14 mit elektrischen Apparaten für verschiedene Wagenfunktionen und diesen gegenüber am linken Wagenende eine Klimasteuerung 16 und am rechten Wagenende eine Toilette 15.4 shows the concept and room layout of the lower deck 5 in the area of the passenger compartment. In the embodiment shown, the lower deck 5 or its passenger compartment is divided into a smoking and a non-smoking compartment and is climatically separated by means of an internal sliding door 12. With 8 are located at both ends of the lower deck 5 companionway stairs. Access stairs 7 and companionway stairs 8 each lead from an intermediate floor 10 located at both ends into the passenger compartments in the upper deck 4 and in the lower deck 5 Access door 6 is spatially separated from the intermediate floors 10 located at the same height and in the passenger compartments. The front ends of the carriages and the front-side transition doors 3 can be reached from the entry-exit vestibules 9 through a corridor 11. In the corner areas of the car ends in the area of the corridors 11 there are apparatus boxes 14 with electrical apparatus for various car functions and a climate control 16 opposite them on the left car end and a toilet 15 on the right car end.

Die Fig.5 zeigt die verkürzte Version einer sogenannten "Econom"-Ausführung. Bei dichterer Bestuhlung weist das gezeigte Unterdeck etwa die gleiche Sitzplatzzahl auf wie jenes der Fig.4. Als neues Merkmal ist die vertikal in der Wagenmitte und zwischen der Niedergangs- 8 und Aufgangstreppe 7 stehende, annähernd ellipsenförmige Treppensäule 18 ersichtlich. Der Querschnitt der Treppensäule 18 wird, geometrisch gesehen, aus zwei an den geraden Seiten aneinander gefügten Kreisabschnitten gebildet.
wobei jedoch die beiden spitzen Enden human abgerundet ausgebildet sind. Die Treppensäule 18 erstreckt sich, in der Fig.5 nicht sichtbar, über die ganze Wagenhöhe, also vom Unterdeckboden bis zur Oberdeckdecke.Figure 5 shows the shortened version of a so-called "Econom" version. If the seating is denser, the lower deck shown has approximately the same number of seats as that of Fig. 4. A new feature is the approximately elliptical staircase column 18 standing vertically in the middle of the car and between the companionway 8 and the staircase 7. The cross section of the stair column 18 is, viewed geometrically, from two circular sections joined together on the straight sides.
however, the two pointed ends are humanly rounded. The stair column 18 extends, not visible in FIG. 5, over the entire carriage height, that is from the lower deck floor to the upper deck ceiling.

Das erfindungsgemässe Konzept besteht nun darin, dass beide Fahrgasträume im Unterdeck 5 und im Oberdeck an den Enden je mit einer einzigen Zugangstür 6 vom Aussenklima abgetrennt werden können bzw. der Zugang zu beiden Fahrgasträumen, unten und oben, durch diese eine Zugangstür 6 möglich ist. Der Zwischenboden 10 hinter der Schiebetür 6 hat sowohl eine Sicherheits- wie auch eine Komfortfunktion. Die Sicherheitsfunktion besteht darin, dass nicht unmittelbar hinter der Schiebetür 6 eine Treppe beginnt, was gefährliche Stolperunfälle verursachen kann. Die Komfortfunktion besteht darin, dass bei einem Aufstieg vom Unterdeck 5 zum Oberdeck 4 der Zwischenboden 10 einige erholsame Schritte auf einer horizontalen Ebene ermöglicht, was inbesondere von älteren Leuten geschätzt wird. Eine Zirkulation zwischen Ober- und Unterdeck und umgekehrt ist möglich, ohne dass ein vollständig klimatisierter Raum geöffnet werden muss und dadurch auch ohne dass ein nur sehr reduziert klimatisierter Ein- Ausstiegsraum 9 durchquert werden muss.The concept according to the invention now consists in the fact that both passenger compartments in the lower deck 5 and in the upper deck can each be separated from the outside climate at the ends by a single access door 6 or that access to both passenger compartments, above and below, is possible through this one access door 6. The intermediate floor 10 behind the sliding door 6 has both a safety and a comfort function. The safety function is that a staircase does not begin immediately behind the sliding door 6, which can cause dangerous tripping accidents. The comfort function is that when you ascend from the lower deck 5 to the upper deck 4, the mezzanine 10 enables you to take a few relaxing steps on a horizontal plane, which is particularly appreciated by older people. A circulation between the upper and lower decks and vice versa is possible without having to open a fully air-conditioned room and thus without having to cross through an entry and exit room 9 which is only air conditioned to a very limited extent.

Durch die bogenförmige Ausführung der Aufgangstreppe 7 kann einerseits etwas Fläche gespart und anderseits ein positiver innenarchtektonischer Effekt erzielt werden.The curved design of the staircase 7 saves some space on the one hand and achieves a positive interior architectural effect on the other.

Die dargestellte Ausführung ist bezüglich Bestuhlung und Aufteilung in separate Raucher- und Nichtraucherzonen vorwiegend als Erstklass- oder Luxusausführung gedacht. In der mit der Fig.5 dargestellten "Econom"-Ausführung ist die Bestuhlung etwas dichter ausgelegt und wird der dargestellte Fahrgastraum des Unterdecks 5 als ganzes als Nichtraucherzone bestimmt, wodurch die Abteiltür 12 entfällt. Die Treppensäule 18 erfüllt mehrere Funktionen. Sie dient als Treppenführung und -Stütze in der Wagenmitte, als Klima- und Installationskanal für Luft- und Apparatezuleitungen aller Art, als innenarchitektonisches Element und als Versteifungs- und Verstärkungselement des Wagenkastens.With regard to seating and division into separate smoking and non-smoking areas, the version shown is primarily intended as a first-class or luxury version. In the "Econom" version shown in FIG. 5, the seating is designed somewhat denser and the passenger compartment of the lower deck 5 as a whole is determined as a non-smoking zone, as a result of which the compartment door 12 is omitted. The stair column 18 fulfills several functions. It serves as a stairway and support in the middle of the car, as an air conditioning and installation duct for air and apparatus supply lines of all kinds, as an interior design element and as a reinforcement and reinforcement element of the car body.

In Anbetracht des kleinen Höhenunterschiedes zwischen Ein- Ausstiegsvorraum 9 und Bodenhöhe im Unterdeck ist in einer kleinen Aenderung der Ersatz der Niedergangstreppe 8 durch eine nicht dargestellte rollstuhlgängige Rampe, vorzugsweise in Bogenform, vom Ein- Ausstiegsvorraum 9 zum tiefer gelegenen Fahrgastraum im Unterdeck 5 vorgesehen. Dadurch wird, bei zusätzlicher Platzbereitstellung im Fahrgastraum des Unterdecks 5, eine problemlosere Benützung des Wagens durch Rollstuhlfahrgäste möglich. Bekannte technische Anpassungen oder Hilfmittel im Bereich der Ein- Ausstiegstüren 2 vervollständigen die Massnahmen für einen einfachen Behindertentransport.In view of the small difference in height between the entrance-vestibule 9 and the floor height in the lower deck, the replacement of the companionway stairs 8 by a wheelchair-accessible ramp, not shown, is preferably made in a small change from the entrance-vestibule 9 to the lower-lying passenger compartment in the lower deck 5. This makes it easier for wheelchair passengers to use the car if additional space is made available in the passenger compartment of lower deck 5. Known technical adaptations or aids in the area of the entry-exit doors 2 complete the measures for simple transport of the disabled.

Als Zugangstür 6 ist eine bekannte Art Schiebetür mit starren Türflügeln einseitig oder zentral öffnend vorgesehen. Wird eine besonders grosse Oeffnungsweite benötigt, ist eine nicht dargestellte zentral öffnende Lateral-Schiebetür vorgesehen, wobei die beim Oeffnen zurückschiebenden Türelemente in den Wagenseitenwänden umgelenkt und innerhalb diesen entlang geführt werden.A known type of sliding door with rigid door leaves opening on one side or centrally opening is provided as the access door 6. If a particularly large opening width is required, a centrally opening lateral sliding door (not shown) is provided, the door elements which are pushed back when opening being deflected in the side walls of the car and guided along them.
