Abstract

The double-deck railway sleeping car has top and bottom compartments reached from a single corridor along one side of the carriage. Each compartment has two bunks (2F,3) placed one above the other. The bunks are designed to convert into seats for day use. The bottom bunk (3) may be fixed and can be used as the seat while the top bunk (2F) may be folded up out of the way, and part of it may form the backrest for the seat. The bottom bunk may be movable to reveal a fixed seat underneath.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Inneneinrichtung eines Schlaf- oder Liegeabteils, insbesondere für Eisenbahnfahrzeuge, mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to an interior of a sleeping or lying compartment, in particular for railway vehicles, with the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Diese Merkmale sind aus zahlreichen ausgeführten Fahrzeugen bekannt, druckschriftlich z. B. aus EP 0 221 260 B1. Die Siegeflächen bzw. deren Gestelle sind an einer ihrer Längsseiten an einer Abteiltrennwand angelenkt. Wenn sie zum Bilden eines Sitzabteils in eine "Tagstellung" hochgeklappt sind, kann die Unterseite der unteren Liegefläche ggf. eine Rückenlehne für darunter befindliche Sitzgelegenheiten bilden.
Die Dicke der Liegeflächen bzw. ihrer Auflagen vermindert - bei einer zerklüfteten Optik der Abteiltrennwand - die verfügbare Abteillänge (in Wagenlängsrichtung) und damit auch den verfügbaren Fußraum bei Verwendung des Abteils in der "Tagstellung".These features are known from numerous vehicles, printed z. B. from EP 0 221 260 B1. The sieve surfaces or their frames are articulated on one of their long sides to a compartment partition. If they are folded up into a "day position" to form a seat compartment, the underside of the lower lying surface can possibly form a backrest for seating beneath it.
The thickness of the lying surfaces or their cushions reduces - with a jagged appearance of the compartment partition - the available compartment length (in the longitudinal direction of the carriage) and thus also the available foot space when using the compartment in the "day position".

Nach einer UIC-Vorschrift müssen die Polster von Sitzflächen in Schienenfahrzeugen zur Personenbeförderung anders als die von Liegeflächen ausgeführt werden, so daß es nicht möglich ist, eine Liegefläche tagsüber als Sitzfläche für die Passagiere zu verwenden.According to a UIC regulation, the upholstery of seats in rail vehicles for passenger transport must be designed differently than that of lying surfaces, so that it is not possible to use a lying surface during the day as a seat for the passengers.

Die Erfindung hat die Aufgabe, ausgehend von dem eingangs genannten Stand der Technik eine Inneneinrichtung mit einer vergrößerten verfügbaren Abteillänge bei einer optisch ansprechenderen Unterbringung der Liegeflächen in ihrer Tagstellung zu ermöglichen.The object of the invention, based on the prior art mentioned at the outset, is to enable an interior device with an enlarged available compartment length with a more visually appealing placement of the lying surfaces in their day position.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved with the characterizing features of claim 1.

Die kennzeichnenden Merkmale der Unteransprüche geben vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung an.The characterizing features of the subclaims indicate advantageous developments of the invention.

Die damit erstellte Prinziplösung bedeutet, daß die beiden übereinander angeordneten Liegeflächen oder Betten seitlich, also in ihrer Längsrichtung, weggeklappt werden können. Dabei wird das obere Bett in Eisenbahnwagen vorzugsweise wegen der durch Lichtraumprofile eingeschränkten Räumlichkeiten etwa in der Mitte zusammengefaltet und in eine Bettnische hineingeschoben oder -geklappt. Das untere Bett wird dann komplett gegen das obere Bett geklappt und bildet mit seiner sichtbaren Unterseite einen geschlossenen und glatten Abschluß der Bettnische. Wahlweise kann auch das Kopfende der unteren Liegefläche stehenbleiben, so daß sich unter diesem bei Tagstellung ein Abstellraum für Gepäck ergibt.The principle solution thus created means that the two lying surfaces or beds arranged one above the other can be folded away to the side, that is to say in their longitudinal direction. The upper bed in railroad carriages is preferably folded approximately in the middle because of the space restricted by clearance profiles and pushed or folded into a bed niche. The lower bed is then completely folded against the upper bed and with its visible underside forms a closed and smooth finish to the niche. Optionally, the head end of the lower lying surface can remain, so that there is a storage space for luggage under it during the day.

Gegenüber der eingangs erörterten konventionellen Lösung ergibt sich mit der erfindungsgemäßen Inneneinrichtung eine größere nutzbare Abteillänge, was gerade bei einer kompakten Abteilfolge in Doppelstockfahrzeugen wegen des gewonnenen Fußraums sehr viel wertvoller ist als die bei der konventionellen Lösung vorhandene größere Abteilbreite. Zudem geht der Trend bei modernen Schlafwagen zu Ein- bzw. Zweibettabteilen, so daß eine bei größerer Abteilbreite verfügbare breitere Sitzfläche (für drei Personen nebeneinander) ohnehin nicht mehr erforderlich ist.Compared to the conventional solution discussed at the beginning, the interior arrangement according to the invention results in a larger usable compartment length, which is much more valuable than the larger compartment width available in the conventional solution, especially in a compact compartment sequence in double-decker vehicles, because of the legroom gained. In addition, the trend in modern sleeping cars is towards one- or two-bed compartments, so that a wider seating area (for three people side by side) available with a larger compartment width is no longer necessary anyway.

Weitere Einzelheiten und Vorteile des Gegenstands ergeben sich aus der Zeichnung zweier Ausführungsbeispiele und deren folgender detaillierter Beschreibung.Further details and advantages of the object result from the drawing of two exemplary embodiments and their detailed description below.

Ein im Querschnitt gezeigtes Oberstockabteil 1 eines doppelstöckigen Eisenbahn-Liegewagens ist gemäß Figur 1 mit einer oberen Liegefläche 2 und einer unteren Liegefläche 3 ausgestattet, die in der durchgezogen gezeichneten Machtstellung mit einem geringfügigen Längsversatz übereinander angeordnet sind. Man blickt auf die abteilzugewandten Längsseiten der im Aufriß rechteckigen Liegeflächen, während deren Stirnseiten sich senkrecht zur Zeichnungsebene erstrecken.An upper floor compartment 1, shown in cross section, of a double-decker railway couchette is equipped according to FIG. 1 with an upper lying surface 2 and a lower lying surface 3, which are arranged one above the other with a slight longitudinal offset in the solid position of power. One looks at the long sides facing the compartment of the lying surfaces, which are rectangular in elevation, while the end faces of these lie perpendicular to the plane of the drawing.

Durch eine Trennwand 4 ist das Oberstockabteil 1 von einem Seitengang 5 abgeteilt, eine weitere, quer zur Blickrichtung verlaufende Abteiltrennwand 6 bildet die Begrenzung zum nächsten Abteil. In der der Trennwand 4 gegenüberliegenden Außen-Seitenwand ist ein Fenster (hier nicht dargestellt) vorgesehen. Unterhalb der unteren Liegefläche 3 sind noch Sitzgelegenheiten 7 angedeutet, deren Rückenlehne in der Machtstellung auf die Sitzflächen vorgeklappt ist. Unterhalb der Sitzgelegenheiten 7 kann Platz für Gepäckstücke der Reisenden bleiben.The upper floor compartment 1 is separated from a side aisle 5 by a partition 4, a further compartment partition 6 running transversely to the viewing direction forms the boundary to the next compartment. A window (not shown here) is provided in the outer side wall opposite the partition 4. Beneath the lower lying surface 3 there are also indicated seating 7, the backrest of which is folded forward onto the seating surfaces in the power position. There can be space for luggage of the travelers below the seating 7.

Die obere Liegefläche 2 ist etwa in ihrer Längsmitte geteilt. Dort ist ein Scharnier-Gelenk 8 mit parallel zu den kurzen Stirnseiten verlaufender Achse angeordnet, das ein Knicken oder Falten der Liegefläche 2 in zwei etwa gleich lange Teilstücke 2S (seitengangnah) und 2F (fensternah) ermöglicht.The upper lying surface 2 is divided approximately in its longitudinal center. There is a hinge joint 8 with an axis running parallel to the short end faces, which enables the lying surface 2 to be bent or folded into two sections of approximately the same length 2S (near the side aisle) and 2F (near the window).

An der Abteiltrennwand 6 ist eine seitliche Führung 9 vorgesehen, in der an den Teilstücken 2S und 2F der Liegefläche 2 angebrachte Schwenkachsen 10 (seitengangnah) und 11 (fensternah) verschiebbar geführt sind. Diese Führung 9 wird hinreichend stabil ausgelegt, um die Ausführung des Faltvorgangs ohne abteilseitige Abstützung des fensternahen Teils 2F der oberen Liegefläche 2 zu erlauben.A lateral guide 9 is provided on the compartment partition 6, in which pivot axes 10 (close to the side aisle) and 11 (close to the window) attached to the sections 2S and 2F of the lying surface 2 are guided. This guide 9 is designed to be sufficiently stable to allow the folding process to be carried out without supporting the window-near part 2F of the upper lying surface 2 on the compartment side.

Sie kann z. B. aus einem in die Abteiltrennwand 6 eingelassenen Metall-Nutprofil und darin gleitend verschiebbaren Nutsteinen bestehen. Auch andere Führungsvarianten (z. B. Wälzlagerung) sind selbstverständlich möglich, ohne vom eigentlichen Faltprinzip abzuweichen.You can e.g. B. consist of a recessed in the compartment partition 6 metal groove profile and sliding slides therein. Of course, other guide variants (e.g. roller bearings) are also possible without deviating from the actual folding principle.

Das seitengangnahe Teilstück 2S erstreckt sich in eine Nische oberhalb des Seitengangs hinein, um in dem wegen der Dachkrümmung eingeschränkten verfügbaren Raum noch eine akzeptable Liegelänge anzubieten.The section 2S close to the side aisle extends into a niche above the side aisle in order to still offer an acceptable lying length in the space available because of the curvature of the roof.

In der gestreckten Machtstellung sind die beiden Teilstücke in nicht dargestellter Weise im Gelenk sicher miteinander verriegelt, wobei die Gelenkverriegelung in der Art eines Schnappriegels selbsttätig beim Entfalten in Wirkung tritt. Ferner werden zur Unterstützung der wand- bzw. längsseitigen Führung 9 klappbare separate Abstützungen vorgesehen, die sich entweder zur Innendecke des Abteils nach oben erstrecken oder ebenfalls aus der Abteiltrennwand 6 auskragen. In der Tagstellung werden diese nicht weiter dargestellten Abstützungen weggeklappt, so daß sie den Raum oberhalb der Sitzgelegenheiten 7 nicht beeinträchtigen. Es kann auch eine zweite Gleit- oder Rollführung mit vertikalem Abstand zu der Führung 9 vorgesehen werden, um an der Abteiltrennwand 6 eine breitere Stützbasis zu bilden.In the extended position of power, the two sections are securely locked together in the hinge in a manner not shown, the hinge locking acting automatically in the manner of a snap lock when unfolding. In addition, foldable separate supports are provided to support the wall or longitudinal guide 9, which either extend upwards to the inner ceiling of the compartment or also protrude from the compartment partition 6. In the day position, these supports, not shown, are folded away so that they do not impair the space above the seating 7. A second sliding or rolling guide with a vertical spacing from the guide 9 can also be provided in order to form a wider support base on the compartment partition 6.

Nach manuellem Ausrücken der Gelenkverriegelung durch Reisende oder Zugbegleiter läuft der Faltvorgang wie folgt ab:

  • der Mittenbereich mit dem Gelenk 8 senkt sich ab;
  • gleichzeitig werden beide Stirnseiten der Liegefläche 2 angehoben, wobei das Teilstück 2S von dem die Decke des Seitengangs bildenden Boden der Bettnische abgehoben wird;
  • die Schwenkachse 11 an dem Teilstücken 2F wird in der Führung 9 zu der Schwenkachse 10 am Teilstück 2S und zum Seitengang 5 hin verschoben, bis die Oberseiten der Teilstücke 2S und 2F aufeinanderliegen und die gefaltete Liegefläche 2 ein quaderförmiges Paket mit halbierter Länge bildet (gestrichelte Stellung II). In dieser Stellung wird das Gelenk 8 zweckmäßig wiederum verriegelt.
After manually disengaging the joint lock by travelers or train attendants, the folding process proceeds as follows:
  • the central area with the joint 8 lowers;
  • at the same time both end faces of the lying surface 2 are raised, the section 2S being lifted off the floor of the bed niche forming the ceiling of the side passage;
  • the pivot axis 11 on the sections 2F is shifted in the guide 9 towards the pivot axis 10 on the section 2S and towards the side aisle 5 until the upper sides of the sections 2S and 2F lie on one another and the folded lying surface 2 forms a cuboid-shaped package with a halved length (dashed position II). In this position, the joint 8 is appropriately locked again.

Im Mittenbereich um das Gelenk 8 ist an der oberen Liegefläche 2 eine Zugfeder angedeutet, die in der Art einer Übertotpunktfeder eine gewisse Vorspannung der Liegefläche 2 in die beiden Endlagen leistet. Anstelle einer Schraubenfeder kann auch eine Gasdruckfeder mit äquivalenten Eigenschaften verwendet werden.In the center area around the joint 8, a tension spring is indicated on the upper lying surface 2, which provides a certain preload of the lying surface 2 in the two end positions in the manner of an over-center spring. Instead of a coil spring, a gas pressure spring with equivalent properties can also be used.

Durch das Absenken des Mittenbereichs kann die Liegefläche 2 länger ausgeführt werden als ohne eine solche Absenkung; ihre fensternahe Stirnseite wird hierbei berührungsfrei entlang der Innendeckenkontur auf einer Bahn geführt, die flacher verläuft als ohne Absenkung bei einer kreisförmigen Schwenkbewegung um das Gelenk 8.By lowering the central area, the lying surface 2 can be made longer than without such a lowering; its face near the window is guided without contact along the inner ceiling contour on a path that is flatter than without lowering with a circular pivoting movement around the joint 8.

Das komplette Paket kann aus Stellung II um die Schwenkachse 10 als Ganzes gegen den Uhrzeigersinn (Pfeil "A") zum Seitengang hin in eine horizontale Stellung III geklappt werden, wobei die Schwenkachse 11 in einer Bogenkulisse 9B gleitet, die mit der Führung 9 in Verbindung steht.
Diese Variante stellt bei einer Einbett-Nutzung des Abteils 1 eine zusätzliche Gepäckablage auf der Unterseite des Teilstücks 2F der oberen Liegefläche 2 zur Verfügung.
Zum Wegklappen auch der unteren Liegefläche 3 wird das Paket aus Stellung II entlang der Führung 9 in vertikaler Stellung zum Seitengang 5 hin in eine Tagstellung IV parallelverschoben (Pfeil "B").The complete package can be folded from position II around the pivot axis 10 as a whole counterclockwise (arrow "A") to the side aisle into a horizontal position III, the pivot axis 11 sliding in an arc link 9B which connects to the guide 9 stands.
This variant provides an additional luggage rack on the underside of section 2F of the upper lying surface 2 when compartment 1 is used as a single bed.
To fold away the lower lying surface 3, the package is moved from position II along the guide 9 in a vertical position to the side aisle 5 in a day position IV (arrow "B").

Auch die untere Liegefläche 3 weist seitengangnah eine Schwenkachse 12 auf. Ein seitengangnahes (Kopf-)Teilstück 3S der unteren Liegefläche 3 - etwa ein Viertel von deren Gesamtlänge - ist hier fest angeordnet. Das größere, fensternahe Teilstück 3F läßt sich um die Schwenkachse 12 durch Anheben ihrer fensternahen Stirnseite ebenfalls gegen den Uhrzeigersinn hochklappen und gelangt hierbei in eine vertikale Tagstellung, in der es die in Stellung IV befindliche gefaltete obere Liegefläche 2 vollständig verdeckt. Die gestrichelt in der Tagstellung angedeutete, mit 3U bezeichnete Unterseite der unteren Liegefläche 3 fluchtet mit der Eckkante der bereits erwähnten Nische und der sich daran anschließenden Abteilwand zum Seitengang hin, so daß die vertikale gestrichelte Linie als Projektion der Eckkante und des abteilseitigen Abschlusses der Nische zu verstehen ist.The lower lying surface 3 also has a pivot axis 12 close to the side aisle. A (head) section 3S of the lower lying surface 3 close to the side aisle - approximately a quarter of its total length - is firmly arranged here. The larger, near-window section 3F can also be folded up counter-clockwise about the pivot axis 12 by lifting its near-window end face, and thereby reaches a vertical day position in which it completely covers the folded upper lying surface 2 located in position IV. The dashed in the day position indicated with 3U underside of the lower lying surface 3 is aligned with the corner edge of the already mentioned niche and the adjoining compartment wall to the side aisle, so that the vertical dashed line as a projection of the corner edge and the compartment end of the niche understand is.

Aus der Andeutung der Tiefe der Nische zum Seitengang hin und der Lage der Schwenkachse 10 in drei verschiedenen Stellungen wird deutlich, daß letztere ebenso wie die Schwenkachse 12 der unteren Liegefläche zu jeder Zeit beidseitig - in der Abteiltrennwand 6 und in der Nischenseitenwand - aufgelagert ist.From the indication of the depth of the niche towards the side aisle and the position of the pivot axis 10 in three different positions, it is clear that the latter, like the pivot axis 12 of the lower lying surface, is supported on both sides at all times - in the compartment partition 6 and in the niche side wall.

Die hochgeklappt sichtbare Unterseite 3U wird glatt und je nach Designanforderung mit Dekors ausgeführt, so daß die Reisenden in der Tagstellung der Inneneinrichtung des Oberstockabteils 1 ein gefälliges, glattflächiges Gesamtbild wahrnehmen.The folded-up visible underside 3U is made smooth and, depending on the design requirement, with decorations, so that the travelers perceive a pleasing, smooth-surface overall picture in the daytime position of the interior of the upper floor compartment 1.

In der Machtstellung stützt sich das fensternahe Ende der unteren Liegefläche auf entsprechende Absätze der Seitenwandverkleidung, die z. B. durch eine geeignete Verlegung von Luft- oder Heizungskanälen gebildet werden.
Die obere Liegefläche 2 wird zum Herstellen der Machtstellung aus Stellung IV in Stellung II - etwa Abteilmitte - gegen einen Anschlag geschoben, entriegelt und dann wie ein sich öffnendes V aufgeklappt. Die Unterseite des Teilstücks 2S senkt sich bei der Schwenkbewegung um die beidseitig gelagerte Achse 10 wieder auf den Boden der Bettnische ab, während die in der Führung 9 geführte Schwenkachse 11 in Richtung der Außenseitenwand gleitet. In der Strecklage des Gelenks 8 tritt wieder dessen selbsttätige Verriegelung in Wirkung.In the power position, the window-near end of the lower lying surface is based on corresponding heels of the side wall cladding, which, for. B. be formed by a suitable laying of air or heating ducts.
The upper lying surface 2 is pushed against a stop, unlocked and then opened like an opening V to establish the power position from position IV to position II - about the middle of the compartment. The underside of the section 2S lowers during the pivoting movement about the axis 10 mounted on both sides back to the bottom of the alcove, while the pivot axis 11 guided in the guide 9 slides in the direction of the outside wall. In the extended position of the joint 8, its automatic locking takes effect again.

In einer zweiten Variante der Inneneinrichtung, die in Figur 2 für ein Oberstockabteil 1 und ein Unterstockabteil 1' skizziert ist, entfällt die Linearführung der Teilstücke 2F und 2S der oberen Liegefläche 2 entlang der Abteiltrennwand 6.
Allgemein werden in Figur 2 für gleiche Bauteile dieselben Bezugszeichen wie in Figur 1 verwendet. Der Seitengang 5 befindet sich rechts von den beiden Abteilen, so daß die Schwenkbewegungen aus der Nacht- in die Tagstellung um die in Liegeflächenquerrichtung verlaufenden Schwenkachsen hier im Uhrzeigersinn verlaufen.In a second variant of the interior, which is outlined in FIG. 2 for an upper floor compartment 1 and a lower floor compartment 1 ′, the linear guidance of the sections 2F and 2S of the upper lying surface 2 along the compartment partition 6 is omitted.
In general, the same reference numerals as in FIG. 1 are used in FIG. 2 for the same components. The side aisle 5 is located to the right of the two compartments, so that the swiveling movements from the night into the day position about the swiveling axes running in the transverse direction of the lying surface run here clockwise.

Gleich wie im Beispiel nach Figur 1 ist auch hier die obere Liegefläche 2 etwa mittig durch ein Gelenk 8 geteilt, das in der gestreckten Machtstellung selbsttätig verriegelt wird. Eine ausschwenkbare Stütze 13 stützt die gestreckte Liegefläche 2 an ihrer fensternahen Stirnseite (Teilstück 2F) in horizontaler Stellung ab. An dem seitengangnahen Teilstück 2S ist hier eine feste Schwenkachse 10' vorgesehen, über welche sich dieses Teilstück beidseitig hinauserstreckt, etwa im Verhältnis 1 zu 2 kürzer zum Seitengang 5 hin. Die Schwenkachse 10' ist wie im erstbeschriebenen Ausführungsfall beidseitig, an der Abteiltrennwand 6 und einer Seitenwand einer Nische, aufgelagert. Auch hier fluchtet die vertikal gestellte Unterseite 3U der hochgeklappten unteren Liegefläche 3 mit dem abteilseitigen Abschluß dieser Nische.In the same way as in the example according to FIG. 1, the upper lying surface 2 is also divided approximately in the middle by a joint 8 which is automatically locked in the extended position of power. A swing-out support 13 supports the stretched lying surface 2 on its end near the window (section 2F) in a horizontal position. A fixed swivel axis 10 ′ is provided on the part 2S near the side aisle, over which this part extends on both sides, approximately in a ratio of 1 to 2 shorter to the side aisle 5. The pivot axis 10 'is on both sides, as in the first described embodiment the compartment partition 6 and a side wall of a niche. Here, too, the vertically placed underside 3U of the folded-up lower lying surface 3 is aligned with the compartment-side closure of this niche.

Da sich das seitengangnahe Teilstück 2S der Liegefläche 2 beim Wegklappen nach unten dreht, kann im Oberstockabteil 1 der Zwischenboden der Nische oberhalb des Seitengangs 5 noch durch ein kurzes feststehendes drittes Teilstück 2N als Liegefläche genutzt werden, wobei eine Fuge in diesem Bereich in Kauf genommen wird.Since the side aisle section 2S of the lying surface 2 rotates downwards when folded away, the intermediate floor of the niche above the side aisle 5 can still be used as a lying surface in the upper floor compartment 1 by a short, fixed third section 2N, a joint in this area being accepted .

Zum Falten und Wegklappen der mit einem Sicherheitsgeländer 14 versehenen oberen Liegefläche 2 muß die Stütze 13 angeklappt und wiederum die Gelenkverriegelung gelöst werden. Der Mittenbereich der Liegefläche 2 senkt sich jetzt ebenfalls ab - Schwenk um die Schwenkachse 10' gegen den Uhrzeigersinn - und ermöglich das Falten der Liegefläche. Gegen ein vollständiges Absinken enthält das Liegeflächengestell wiederum Federn, die eine Drehhemmung in der Achse 10' bewirken und das Anheben der Liegefläche 2 im Uhrzeigersinn erleichtern.To fold and fold away the upper lying surface 2, which is provided with a safety railing 14, the support 13 has to be folded up and the articulated lock in turn has to be released. The center area of the lying surface 2 now also lowers - pivoting about the pivot axis 10 'counterclockwise - and enables the lying surface to be folded. Against a complete sinking, the lying surface frame in turn contains springs which cause an inhibition of rotation in the axis 10 'and facilitate the lifting of the lying surface 2 in the clockwise direction.

Zum Falten der Liegefläche 2 wird das fensternahe Teilstück 2F im Uhrzeigersinn auf das seitengangnahe Teilstück 2S geklappt, wobei wieder ein "Paket" entsteht, das nun mit Federunterstützung als Ganzes um die Schwenkachse 10' im Uhrzeigersinn zum Seitengang hin weggeklappt werden kann. Durch angedeutete Schwenkradien wird der Bewegungsablauf der Kinematik verdeutlicht.
Durch das temporäre Absenken des Mittenbereichs der oberen Liegefläche 2 wird eine gute Ausnutzung der durch Lichtraumprofile eingeschränkten Innendeckenkontur beim Faltvorgang erreicht. In der Tagstellung ist hier allerdings der Mittenbereich mitsamt dem Gelenk 8 über das Niveau der Nachtstellung angehoben. Die Transversalbewegung gemäß Figur 1 entlang der Führung 9 ist hier durch eine Rotationsbewegung um die Schwenkachse 10' ersetzt.
Auch in dieser Variante kann ähnlich wie in Figur 1 eine horizontale Stellung des Pakets vorgesehen werden, in der die Unterseite des Teilstücks 2F als zusätzliche Gepäckablage dient.To fold the lying surface 2, the section 2F close to the window is folded clockwise onto the section 2S close to the side aisle, again creating a "package" which can now be folded away with the spring support as a whole around the pivot axis 10 'clockwise towards the side aisle. The motion sequence of the kinematics is illustrated by the indicated swivel radii.
By temporarily lowering the center area of the upper lying surface 2, good use is made of the inner ceiling contour restricted by clearance profiles during the folding process. In the day position, however, the middle area together with the joint 8 is raised above the level of the night position. The transverse movement according to FIG. 1 along the guide 9 is replaced here by a rotational movement about the pivot axis 10 '.
In this variant too, a horizontal position of the package can be provided, similar to that in FIG. 1, in which the underside of section 2F serves as an additional luggage rack.

Die untere Liegefläche 3 ist um ihre feste Schwenkachse 12 derart schwenkbar, daß sie in der vertikalen Tagstellung die gefaltete obere Liegefläche 2 vollständig abdeckt und nur ihre Unterseite für die Reisenden sichtbar ist. Abweichend vom Beispiel gemäß Figur 1 ist die untere Liegefläche hier einteilig ausgeführt, wobei aber die Schwenkachse 12 mit Versatz gegenüber der seitengangnahen Stirnseite dieser Liegefläche angeordnet ist - Deren seitengangnaher Teil bewegt sich mithin beim Übergang in die Tagstellung zum Boden hin.
Auch hier wird das Hochklappen von Federkräften unterstützt. Als geeignete Kraftspeicher kommen z. B. Gasdruckfedern oder Schraubenzugfedern in Frage.The lower lying surface 3 can be pivoted about its fixed pivot axis 12 such that in the vertical day position it completely covers the folded upper lying surface 2 and only its underside is visible to the travelers. Deviating from the example according to FIG. 1, the lower lying surface is made in one piece here, but the pivot axis 12 is arranged offset with respect to the end face of the lying surface near the side aisle - the part of the bed near the side aisle therefore moves towards the floor during the transition to the day position.
Folding up is also supported here by spring forces. Suitable energy stores come e.g. B. gas springs or coil springs in question.
