Description

1 74244

This invention relates to a passenger ship, and more particularly to the placement of its passenger cabins. The solution according to the invention is particularly suitable for use in passenger car ferries operating on relatively short routes.

In the passenger ships currently in use, the cabin spaces are designed on a surface basis. Thus, for example, the space at the bed is the height of the entire cabin. Additional sleeping accommodation has been obtained by using bunk beds or beds that can be counted from the screen, so-called pull-out beds.

The object of the present invention is, above all, to increase the berths of a passenger ship without increasing the size of the ship or without compromising on travel comfort.

The object of the invention is achieved by the means set out in claim 1. With the solution according to the invention, the number of beds that can fit in the same space can be increased by up to about 50% compared to current solutions. In addition, the invention offers some significant manufacturing advantages.

The invention is further illustrated by the accompanying drawings 20. Fig. 1 shows a section taken from a passenger car ferry at two different points, Fig. 2 shows a cabin solution according to Fig. 1, Fig. 3 shows the same solution in a further enlarged perspective view, Figs. 4 to 7 show some possible cabin floor solutions 25 and alternative application.

The car ferry according to Figure 1 has two cabin decks 1 and 2 placed above the car deck spaces. (It should be noted that the different parts of the deck are here at different heights.) 30 Each deck has five longitudinal corridors 3. and cabins 5 (on the left side of the middle aisle). Thus, there are always two rows of cabins between two corridors with a common interface.

35 Each cabin has a floor level 6 and a bed level 7 halfway up the height of the cabin. Thus, the bed level of the second row is at the same height as the floor level of the second cabin. In this way, the adjacent corridors of the same deck are also at different heights.

5 The beds are placed on the bed level perpendicular to the occupant.

In the right-hand cabins 4 of the ship, the height of the sleeping area 8 is the same in all places. In the left cabins 5, a space 10 is separated from the upper part of the sleeping space 9 by means of the cabin row interface 10 into the adjacent cabin 10. This embodiment is shown in more detail in Figures 2 and 3.

In the embodiments shown in Figures 2 and 3, the space 10 separated from the sleeping area 9 of the adjacent cabin does not interfere with sleep when the legs are facing the interface. However, a very useful space for e.g. luggage has thus been provided in the adjacent cabin.

Figure 3 shows the cabin 5 applied to two passengers. A cavity 11 is separated from the bed level 7 'in the middle thereof at the space 10. The bed level is so wide that beds of sufficient width can be placed on both sides of the cavity.

Kolo makes it easier to get in and place in beds. The recess also allows the space 10 to be used as part of a seat. The cabin also includes a sanitary compartment 12, which is common to two adjacent cabins in the same corridor.

Figure 4 shows a top view of the cabin of Figure 3.

Figure 5 shows two single cabins 5 placed side by side on the same corridor. Here, the recess 11 separated from the bed level is next to the wall.

Figure 6 shows a double cabin 5 with its own sanitary compartment 12 '.

Figure 7 shows a more spacious double cabin 5. The width of the cabin in the direction of the corridor has been increased. Correspondingly, the cavity 11 '' between the beds can be widened, resulting in a larger seating area. Between the beds on level 7 there is also 35 extra space for luggage, for example. The length of the cabin li 3 74244 in the direction perpendicular to the corridor has also been increased.

Figure 8 shows another embodiment of the interface between cabin rows. In it, from the sleeping space 9, the sloping wall facing the ceiling of the cabin is delimited by the adjacent cabin ti-5 la 10 '. A shelf 13 is made in the space 10 '.

The invention is technically advantageous because it is easy to implement with advanced modular structures. The solution is also flexible, as different cabin applications can be easily obtained from the same basic structure.

The structure according to the invention is also inherently strong, which reduces the need for separate reinforcements or even eliminates them completely. The labor savings compared to the current structures are really significant. Namely, planar decks must be richly reinforced with beams and corrugations.

15 In the structure now invented, the corner irons of the cover themselves act as reinforcements.

The invention may, of course, be practiced otherwise than as exemplified above. For example, the beds can be placed parallel to the interface and also to the interfaces between the cabins of the cabin.

The fact that the upper and lower surfaces of the cabin deck are at different heights at different points is not a disadvantage. On the contrary, this can be utilized, for example, in car decks below the cabin decks, where spaces of different heights are required for different driving instructions. Above the cabin decks, sections of different heights can also be used to accommodate kitchens, restaurants and lounges.
