Description

The present invention relates to a cover panel installed on the ceiling of a guest room of a transportation device for transporting passengers.

Various fixtures are installed in the cabins of transportation equipment that transports passengers, such as railroad cars, buses, and passenger planes. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses various fixtures attached to a railroad vehicle, and Patent Document 2 discloses a lighting device used for a railroad vehicle. FIG. 6 shows a state in which the ceiling 80 of the passenger cabin of such a railroad vehicle is looked up, and the ceiling 80 of the passenger compartment of the railroad vehicle has a plurality of long lighting units 82 that provide light in the passenger compartment. A plurality of hangers 86 that passengers grasp to support their bodies, a display 92 that presents various information to passengers, and the like are installed as accessories. Among these, the plurality of hangers 86 are suspended from the hanger rods 88 extending in the traveling direction or the width direction of the railway vehicle, and the hanger rods 88 are suspended by the hanger rod receivers 90 extending from the ceiling 80. It is supported. Further, the hanging bar receiver 90 extends through the cover panel 100 installed between the plurality of lighting units 82, and the cover panel 100 extends through the cover panel 100 with respect to the cross section orthogonal to the traveling direction of the railroad vehicle.

Here, since the conventional cover panel 100 has a structure through which the hanging bar receiver 90 penetrates, as shown in FIG. 7, the long direction of the lighting unit 82 (in FIG. 7, the same direction as the traveling direction of the railroad vehicle). After assembling the hanging hand rod receiver 90 and the hanging hand rod 88, they were attached by sandwiching the hanging hand rod receiver 90. However, in such a divided structure, it is difficult to accurately align the divided surfaces of the cover panel 100, and as a result of providing the divided surfaces so that the cross section crosses a uniform direction, the divided position can be easily set by the passenger. It looked bad because it was in a visible position. On the other hand, there is also a method in which the hanger bar receiver 90 is first passed through the through hole of the cover panel 100 without forming the cover panel 100 into a divided structure. However, in this case, the cover panel 100 becomes an obstacle when attaching the hanging rod 88, which causes a problem of poor workability and takes time and effort when it is necessary to remove the cover panel 100 later. There was a problem.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to improve the appearance of the ceiling of a guest room without impairing the workability of attaching the fixtures.

These stepped surfaces 30B and 30C extend along the longitudinal direction of the divided piece 16B with a small width so that the divided piece 16B faces upward while being installed on the ceiling 80 of the guest room. ..

Next, a method of separating and combining the cover panel 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described. The cover panel 10 shown in FIG. 1 is in a combined state, and in this state, the divided surface 14A of the divided piece 16A and the divided surface 14B of the divided piece 16B face each other with reference to FIG. 2. Further, the lower left side in FIG. 2A of the portion 24B of the mounting portion 22 belonging to the divided piece 16A is above the stepped surface 30B of the divided piece 16B with reference to the vertical direction when installed on the ceiling 80 of the guest room. overlapping. Further, the lower left side in FIG. 2A of the portion 24C of the mounting portion 22 belonging to the divided piece 16A is above the stepped surface 30C of the divided piece 16B with reference to the vertical direction when installed on the ceiling 80 of the guest room. overlapping. Similarly, the lower right side of the attachment portions 22A and 24D belonging to the divided piece 16B in FIG. 2B is the stepped surface of the divided piece 16A with reference to the vertical direction when the portion 24A and 24D are installed on the ceiling 80 of the guest room. It overlaps the upper side of 30A and 30D. In particular, in FIG. 1C, it can be confirmed that the right side of the portion 24D of the mounting portion 22 belonging to the split piece 16B overlaps the upper side of the stepped surface 30D of the split piece 16A.

Then, when separating the two divided pieces 16A and 16B that have been united as described above, as shown in FIG. 3, first, the two divided pieces 16A and 16B are in the width direction of the cover panel 10 (FIG. 3). Move both or one of the divided pieces 16A and 16B so as to be slightly separated in the left-right direction in (b). Then, the state in which a part of the parts 24B and 24C of the mounting portion 22 belonging to the split piece 16A overlaps the upper side of the stepped surfaces 30B and 30C of the split piece 16B is released, and similarly, the mounting portion belonging to the split piece 16B is released. The state in which a part of the portions 24A and 24D of the 22 portion overlaps the upper side of the stepped surfaces 30A and 30D of the divided piece 16A is released. In particular, in FIG. 3B, it can be confirmed that the right side of the portion 24D of the mounting portion 22 belonging to the split piece 16B does not overlap the upper side of the stepped surface 30D of the split piece 16A.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 4, the divided pieces 16A and 16B are separated from each other in the vertical direction (vertical direction in FIG. 4B) when the two divided pieces 16A and 16B are installed on the ceiling 80 of the guest room. Move both or one of 16B. That is, in the combined state shown in FIG. 1, since a part of the portions 24A to 24D of the mounting portion 22 overlaps the upper side of the stepped surfaces 30A to 30D, the two divided pieces 16A and 16B can be separated in the vertical direction. However, as shown in FIG. 3, by following the procedure of separating the two divided pieces 16A and 16B in the width direction, the two divided pieces 16A and 16B can be separated in the vertical direction. is there. In FIG. 4, it can be confirmed that the two divided pieces 16A and 16B are completely separated.

On the other hand, when the two divided pieces 16A and 16B are combined from the separated state, the above-mentioned separation procedure may be performed in reverse. As an example, FIG. 5 shows a state in which one of the split pieces 16B is first attached to the ceiling 80 of the guest room and the remaining split pieces 16A are located at separate positions. In this state, the bracket 60 that supports the fixture 62 passes through the half-split 12B of the insertion hole 12 provided in the split piece 16B and the gap where the half-split 12A of the insertion hole 12 provided later in the split piece 16A is located. It extends downward from the ceiling 80. In the embodiment of FIG. 5, as the bracket 60 for supporting the fixture 62, the hanger bar receiver 90 for supporting the hanger bar 88 to which the hanger 86 is attached is shown. From such a state, the divided piece 16A is moved upward so as to be in the state shown in FIG. 3, and further, a part of the portions 24A to 24D of the mounting portion 22 overlaps the upper side of the stepped surfaces 30A to 30D. By moving the divided pieces 16A toward the divided pieces 16B in the width direction, the two divided pieces 16A and 16B are united as shown in FIG.

At this time, the portions 24B and 24C are moved toward the split piece 16B in an inclined state so that the portions 24B and 24C of the split piece 16A face diagonally upward, and the portions 24B and 24C are moved toward the stepped surfaces 30B and 30C of the split piece 16B. The two divided pieces 16A and 16B may be combined by moving the first wing portion 34 side of the divided piece 16A upward so as to eliminate the inclination of the divided piece 16A after being positioned above the above. Further, the split piece 16A may be attached to the ceiling 80 before the split piece 16B. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the lighting units 82 and the cover panels 10 are alternately arranged on the ceiling 80 of the passenger compartment of the railway vehicle along the longitudinal direction of the railway vehicle, as in the example shown in FIG. This corresponds to the case where two rows are installed at intervals in the width direction of the railway vehicle. In this case, the split piece 16A is arranged on the outer side in the width direction of the railway vehicle, and the divided piece 16B is arranged on the center side in the width direction of the railway vehicle.

Here, the cover panel 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the configuration shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, for example, the dividing surface 14 passes through a position crossing the insertion hole 12. If so, it may be provided at an arbitrary position, and the cover panel 10 may be provided so as to be divided into three or more divided pieces 16. Further, the number of mounting holes 26 provided in the mounting portion 22 is arbitrary, and the number of parts of the mounting portion 22 divided by the dividing surface 14 is also arbitrary accordingly. Further, the uniform cross-sectional shape of the cover panel 10 may be different from the shape shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 as long as it is the same as the casing 84 of the lighting unit 82. In addition, the cover panel 10 installed together with the lighting unit 82 may be installed on the ceiling 80 in a direction different from the traveling direction of the transportation equipment, and the number of rows installed on the ceiling 80 may be other than two. , The transportation equipment at the installation destination may be a bus or the like other than a railroad vehicle. Further, the bracket 60 may support an accessory 62 other than the hanging bar 88, such as an advertisement or a display 92 (see FIG. 6).

Now, according to the embodiment of the present invention having the above configuration, it is possible to obtain the following effects. That is, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, for example, the cover panel 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention is installed on the ceiling 80 of the passenger cabin of the transportation equipment for passenger transportation together with the long lighting unit 82. Is. That is, a plurality of lighting units 82 are installed on the ceiling 80 of the guest room at intervals in their respective elongated directions via the casing 84, and the cover panel 10 fills the gap between the casings 84. Will be installed. Further, with reference to FIG. 1, the cover panel 10 has the same cross-sectional shape as the casing 84 of the lighting unit 82, uniformly in the direction parallel to the elongated direction of the lighting unit 82. In other words, the cover panel 10 and the casing 84 of the lighting unit 82 have a uniform outer shape extending in a direction parallel to the elongated direction of the lighting unit 82. Therefore, the ceiling 80 of the guest room in which the lighting units 82 and the cover panels 10 are alternately installed along the long direction of the lighting unit 82 is visually recognized as if the lighting units 82 are continuously installed. , Can improve the appearance.

Further, the cover panel 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention is provided with an insertion hole 12 into which the bracket 60 is inserted, and the bracket 60 extends downward from the ceiling 80 to insert various accessories 62. It is used to support. That is, the cover panel 10 also plays a role of covering the fixed portion of the bracket 60 fixed to the ceiling 80, and functionally supports the fixture 62 and the lighting unit 82 supported by the bracket 60 without spoiling the aesthetic appearance of the ceiling 80. Can be attached. Moreover, in the cover panel 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the divided surface 14 passes through the position where the bracket 60 is inserted across the insertion hole 12, and the lighting unit 82 extends in the long direction (extension of the cover panel 10). It is composed of split pieces 16 that can be split in a direction orthogonal to the direction). Therefore, even when the bracket 60 is fixed to the ceiling 80 and the fixture 62 is attached to the bracket 60, the cover panel 10 can be attached to the ceiling 80 later by attaching each of the divided pieces 16. Can be easily attached to.

Further, since the cover panel 10 can be divided in a direction orthogonal to the extending direction thereof, the dividing surface 14 crosses a direction in which the cross-sectional shape of the cover panel 10 is uniform (the extending direction of the cover panel 10). Rather, the cross-sectional shape extends parallel to the uniform direction.
