Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a modular side wall of a car body, in particular for rail vehicles.
  • Rail vehicles often display different floor heights, such as a first floor height above a front bogie, a second floor height above a rear bogie and a third floor height in an intermediate zone between the front and rear bogies.
  • Examples of a modular side wall for a car body are known from US 5 267 515 A and CN 205 469 077 U .
  • side walls of car bodies are advantageously provided with interfaces such as rails or grooves, for assembly with seats, tables or luggage racks for example. Due to the different floor heights, the interfaces of different zones are likely to overlap and therefore cannot be produced by continuous extrusion.
  • the present invention aims to provide a method for producing a modular side wall of a car body, adapted to different floor levels and wherein the main parts can be produced by longitudinal extrusion.
  • the invention relates to a modular side wall of the aforementioned type, comprising a first and a second side wall parts, each of said first and second side wall parts comprising:
  • the assembly may include one or more of the following features, considered alone or in any technically possible combination:
  • the first and the second side wall parts comprise identical top profiles and identical bottom profiles.
  • the invention also relates to a vehicle comprising a modular side wall according to the invention.
  • Figure 1 shows a side wall 10 of a car body, in particular for a rail vehicle, according to an embodiment of the invention.

  • the top edge 66 is configured for assembling with the bottom edge 62 of the top profile 40
  • the bottom edge 68 is configured for assembling with the top edge 60 of the bottom profile 42, so as to form the side wall part 14, 18.
  • the at least one intermediate adapter 44, 46, 50, 52 has a length along X inferior to the length of the top 40 and/or bottom 42 profiles and the side wall part 14, 18 comprises several intermediate adapters 44, 46, 50, 52 aligned along X, two adjacent intermediate adapters 44, 46, 50, 52 of a same side wall part 14, 18 being assembled by their lateral edges 70.
  • the lateral edges 70 may display curved parts 71 and/or angles.
  • the side wall part 14, 18 comprises one or more opaque intermediate adapters 44, 50 and one or more window-type intermediate adapters 46, 52 disposed alternatively along X.
  • Figure 2 shows a cross-section of an opaque intermediate adapter 44 of the first side wall part 14.
  • Figure 3 shows a cross-section of a window-type intermediate adapter 52 of the second side wall part 18.
  • the window-type intermediate adapter 46, 52 comprises a frame 72 and a transparent panel 74, the frame forming the top edge 66, bottom edge 68 and lateral edge 70 of said intermediate adapter 46, 52.
  • the opaque 44 and window-type 46 intermediate adapters of the first side wall part 14 have a same first distance 76 between their top 66 and bottom 68 edges.
  • the opaque 50 and window-type 52 intermediate adapters of the second side wall part 18 have a same second distance 78 between their top 66 and bottom 68 edges.
  • the first 76 and second 78 distances are chosen in function of the desired first 16 and second 20 heights of the first 14 and second 18 side wall parts. In the embodiment of Figure 1 , the second distance 78 is inferior to the first distance 76.
  • the window-type intermediate adapters 46, 52 of a same side wall part 14, 18 are substantially identical.
  • a same side wall part comprises different window-type intermediate adapters, with a same distance between their top 66 and bottom 68 edges but with frames 72 and transparent panels 74 of different size and/or shape.
  • first 14 and second 18 side wall parts are assembled to a first lateral adapter 22 and to a bottom adapter 30 so as to form a first side wall portion 80 with continuous top 82 and bottom 84 edges, rectilinear and extending along X.
  • first lateral adapter 22 has substantially the same first height 16 as the first side wall part 14.
  • a first 86 and a second 88 lateral edges of said first lateral adapter 22 are respectively assembled to lateral ends of the first 14 and second 18 side wall parts.
  • the bottom adapter 30 is assembled to the bottom edge of the bottom profile 42 of the second side wall part 18, so as to form an assembly having the same height 16 as the first side wall part 14 and the first lateral adapter 22.
  • a lateral end of the bottom adapter 30 is assembled to the second lateral edge 88 of the first lateral adapter 22.
  • the bottom adapter 30 is replaced by a top adapter, assembled to the top edge of the top profile 40 of the second side wall part 18.
