In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the door of the wall is curved, additionally providing improved use of internal space of the means of transport.

Description

Specification of Patent of Invention
SEPARATION WALL FOR MEANS OF COLLECTIVE TRANSPORT
Field of the Invention
The present invention refers to a separation wall for collective transport environments. More specifically, the door of the invention wall is sliding, providing greater comfort, practicality and safety for users of collective transport. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the door of the wall is curved, additionally providing improved use of internal space of the means of transport. Background of the Invention
Separation walls for collective land transport vehicles are known in the art. Vehicles with sliding doors are also known, such as those disclosed in documents US 6,091 ,162 and US 5,083,472, for example. On the other hand, there are few accounts of improvements in separation walls of collective land transport vehicles. Patent literature bears examples of works developed in this field, and some of the closest are cited herein. However, none of the following documents predates the object of the present invention in full, nor does any combination thereof suggest or obviously lead to the present invention.
Document US 6,091 ,162 entitled "Method and apparatus for operating a power sliding door in an automobile" reveals a mechanical operating system of a sliding door of a minivan.
Document EP 0242339, entitled "A door safety device for a means of public transport" reveals a safety device designed to inhibit the inadvertent opening of a door of a means of public transport. Inhibiting the undesired opening of the door is by the action of a peg which prevents the door from sliding along the rail.
Document US 4,272,923, entitled "Vehicle door" reveals a mass transport vehicle having a sliding door. The mechanisms are described for the sliding door to work suitably. However, said door, as well as all the others cited as prior arts, is external and not internal, as is the case of the present invention. Summary of the Invention
It is an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved separation wall for a means of collective transport.
It is an additional object of the present invention to provide a separation door for a means of collective transport that is sliding.
It is an additional object of the present invention to provide a separation door for a means of collective transport that is curved.
These and other objectives will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art, and will be better understood from the detailed description that follows. Brief Description of the Drawings
Figure 1 depicts a perspective view taken from inside the passenger area, in a preferred embodiment of the invention in which the wall door is sliding, curved and is open.
Figure 2 depicts another perspective view taken from inside the driver area, in a preferred embodiment of the invention in which the wall door is sliding, curved and is open.
Figure 3 depicts another perspective view taken from inside the driver area, in a preferred embodiment of the invention in which the wall door is sliding, curved and is open. Figure 4 depicts a top view in a preferred embodiment of the invention is which the wall door is sliding and curved.
Detailed Description of the Invention
For the purposes of the present invention, the expression "separation walls for a means of collective transport" means the internal wall of the means of collective transport, that is, that which separates the driver's cabin from the passenger saloon. Walls for closing the passenger area in collective land transport vehicles are known, notably in omnibuses. Contrary to conventional walls, the wall of the present invention, given its sliding characteristic, provides benefits for passengers with greater safety and space. The wall door of the invention has a sliding system, preferably curved to provide harmonization of the driver's space requirements. The technical solution proposed in the present invention avoids the invasion of the driver's work area, which occurs in conventional systems. The technical solution proposed in the present invention improves not only the space of the work area, which is made more available to the driver, but also safety, avoid potential collisions due to the opening of conventional doors. Additionally, the wall door of the invention provides greater opening of the gap (around 100 to 200 mm more than that of vehicles currently produced by the applicant). This provides an alternative solution for the growing demand for comfort and access to people with special needs. Consequently, the present invention provides greater accessibility, especially in the case of using special chairs for wheelchair users. Accessibility is also manifestly improved in cases of use of hand baggage. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the wall door is made of glass and this increases the external lighting/visualization area. In yet another preferred embodiment, the mobile section of the wall door is almost entirely made of glass, assuring excellent visualization by passengers.
Persons skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention is an excellent alternative to existing similar models. The examples described in the present invention should not be interpreted as limiting the spirit and scope of the present invention, which is defined in the claims appended hereto.
