Definitions

  • the present invention relates in general to fittings for rolling stock. More particularly the invention relates to a window with opening of the tiltable type for railway carriages, designed to be tipped up and also, if necessary, removed in the event of an emergency.
  • US 2003/0107221 A1 discloses a window according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the object of the present invention is to avoid the disadvantages described above by providing a window for railway carriages with opening of the tiltable type and which, if required, can be tipped up completely and possibly removed to provide an adequate aperture for evacuating passengers without the need to smash any window.
  • a window according to the subject-matter of claim 1 such a window with a hinge opening for railway carriages whose characteristic feature consists in that the tiltable portion is hinged to the surround of the window by means of a pair of aligned and axially sliding pins so as to define a first position wherein they are engaged in housings integral with the surround, and a second position wherein, following axial translation one towards the other, they are disengaged therefrom.
  • the tiltable portion is also hinged, parallel to the pair of pins, to an intermediate cross member of the window integral with the surround, so that, when the pins are in the first position, the tiltable portion can only perform an angular movement of preset extent after the locking means have been disabled manually, whereas, when they are placed in the second position, the tiltable portion can rotate in relation to the cross member until it is fully tipped up, the locking means being disabled following lowering of the tiltable portion as a result of disengaging of the ends of the pins from the respective housings.
  • 1 denotes generically a window of a railway carriage, which window is formed by a fixed window portion 2 and by a tiltable window portion 3 normally locked in a closed position and which can be released by staff on duty using the locks 4 situated in the upper part thereof by means of a special key for allowing limited opening of the window in the case wherein the air-conditioning of the carriage is not in operation.
  • the structure of the window is, as a whole, of the conventional type and comprises a surround denoted by 5 and formed by an external part 5a for resting on the window-space formed in the side wall of the carriage, and an internal part 5b projecting internally from the outside one and acting as a support for a glass 7 of the fixed portion 2 of the window and as an abutment for the tiltable portion 3.
  • the latter is in turn formed by a pane of glass 8 bordered around the perimeter by a frame 9 hinged to a transverse structure 10, whereto the lower pane of glass 7 is also attached.
  • the transverse structure 10 is formed by a cross member or section bar 11 with a substantially H shape for bordering below a groove tightly housing the upper edge of the glass 7.
  • the lower edge 9a of the frame 9, wherein the corresponding lower edge of the glass 8 is tightly housed, is engaged on a pair of pins 12a and 12b, coaxial and aligned one with the other and around which the frame 9 can rotate, allowing tiltable opening of the window.
  • the two pins 12a,b are slidingly engaged in bushings 13 integral with the lower edge 9a of the frame 9 and, at the ends of the cross member 11, in respective housings 14 (only one is shown in the drawings) formed in support blocks 15 attached by means of screws 16 to the inner part 11a of the H-shaped cross member 11.
  • an actuation device is provided, more particularly a crank mechanism with manual actuation integral with a profile 23 and connected to the two opposite ends of the pins 12a,b. More specifically, the free ends of the two pins 12a and 12b are connected to a disk 19 by means of respective connecting rods 17 and 18, which are connected eccentrically and at diametrically opposite parts to said disk 19. Disk 19 is integral with a stem 20 pivotally supported by the profile 23 and emerging frontally therefrom with one of its heads 20a set up for actuation by means of a special key.
  • the cross member 11 is connected by means of a hinge 22 to the profile 23, extending inside the same cross member 11.
  • two shoulders 24 are attached (only one can be seen in the drawings), wherein a slot 25 is formed at the housings 14 of the blocks 15 whereto the shoulders 24 are adjacent.
  • the profile 23 has at least two intermediate apertures 26 (only one can be seen in the drawings) with the function which is to be described herein below.
  • a block 27 is attached to the pin 12a (the same applies for the pin 12b), wherefrom an appendage 28 extends (see also Figure 8 ), abutting on a ridge 23a of the profile 23.
  • the appendage 28 also constitutes an abutment element for the edge 9a of the frame 9 when the latter and the glass 8 attached thereto are rotated around the pins 12a,b.
  • the lower edge 9a of the frame 9 abuts on the appendage 28 on the opposite side to the ridge 23a of the profile 23, effectively limiting rotation of the frame 9 to a preset angle (denoted by ⁇ ).
  • the slot 25 has a length longer than the diameter of the housing 14 and extends towards the profile 23, once the end of the pins 12a,b has disengaged from the relevant housing 14, said end goes to the base of the slot 25, causing lowering of the pins 12a,b and of the frame 9 integral thereto, while the appendage 28 is positioned in the aperture 26.
  • the frame 9 is lowered automatically, once the ends of the pins 12a,b are disengaged from the housings 14, due to its own weight which automatically releases the frame from the locking devices denoted by 4 and situated in the upper part of the window.
  • a third position of the pins 12a,b can be provided wherein they can also be withdrawn from the slots 25.
  • This can be obtained by defining two different extents of rotation of the disk 19, corresponding to two different extents of sliding of the pins 12a,b. More particularly, with a first rotation, the pins 12a,b can be slid until they are disengaged from the housings 14 of the blocks 15 and with a second subsequent rotation, to be performed if the tiltable portion also has to be removed, the ends of the pins 12a,b can be disengaged from the slots 25 of the shoulders 24.
  • Seals 29 and 30 are placed between the lower edge 9a of the frame 9 and the cross member 11 on one side and the profile 23 on the other.
  • Figures 12 and 13 illustrate a different embodiment of the device for actuating axial sliding of the pins 12a and 12b around which the tiltable part 3 rotates.
  • the disk 19, whereto the pins 12a,b are connected via the connecting rods 17 and 18, is integral with a lever 32, which can also be actuated by the user, if necessary, without having to wait for help by the staff in charge, provided with the special key for turning the disk 19.
  • An elastic plate 31 with an overturned V portion which engages in the disk 19 prevents free rotation of the same disk and hence axial sliding of the pins 12a,b, maintaining the tiltable part 3 in a closed position.
  • the possibility of rotation around the pins 12a,b of the tiltable portion 3 is controlled by the abutting of the lower edge 9a of its frame 9 on the appendage 28 of the block 27 integral with the pin 12a and, correspondingly, the pin 12b.
  • a plate 34 with a projection 33 is attached laterally to the frame 9, holding the glass 8 of the window.
  • Figure 14 illustrates the relative position of the angled edge 15a and of the projection 33 when the tiltable portion 3 is closed.
  • Figure 18 illustrates the relative position of the two components when the tiltable portion 3 is open. In this condition the projection 33 abuts on the angled edge 15a, locking the tiltable portion in an open position with the preset slant.
  • the window for railway carriages according to the present invention achieves in full the object set. It can in fact function as a normal window for air-conditioned carriages, since it can be locked in a closure position, and can be partially opened, in the case of non-functioning of the air-conditioning system, by actuating the locking devices 4 and rotating the tiltable portion 3 of the window 1 around the pins 12a,b.
  • the window according to the invention also allows full tipping of the tiltable portion 3 in case emergency conditions should occur simply by actuating with a special key the stem head 20a placed centrally in relation to the window on the cross member 11, or by means of the lever 32, to disengage the ends of the pins 12a,b from the respective housings integral with the fixed structure. If considered necessary, it is also possible to provide for complete removal of the tiltable portion 3 of the window.
  • the invention therefore allows emergency apertures through the windows to be provided without the need to smash the glass.
