Abstract
Description
- 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.
- It is known that the windows in railway carriages fitted with an air-conditioning system cannot be opened. However there is the possibility in some of them for staff to release the closure device in the case wherein the air-conditioning system does not work. The windows which can be released are usually of the tiltable type and therefore ensure limited opening, sufficient for allowing air to circulate.
- The opening which can be obtained with these releasable windows is not however sufficient for emergency situations in which apertures have to be formed for rapid evacuation of passengers. In these cases there is the possibility of breaking the glass of the windows with special emergency hammers available in each carriage. This operation is hazardous and may jeopardise the safety of passengers due to the risks of injury which it entails, risks which increase in emergency conditions, and also causes damage to the railway carriage which requires costly and lengthy maintenance work.
- 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.
- This object is achieved with the window with top 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.

- Figure 17 is a section taken along line XVII-XVII of the device illustrated in Figure 16;
- Figures 18 and 19 illustrate the window according to the invention, in the version shown in Figures 14 and 17, in a tilted position and initial tipping respectively.
- Referring to Figure 1, 1 denotes generically a window of a railway carriage, which window is formed by a
fixed window portion 2 and by atiltable window portion 3 normally locked in a closed position and which can be released by staff on duty using thelocks 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 aninternal part 5b projecting internally from the outside one and acting as a support for aglass 7 of thefixed portion 2 of the window and as an abutment for thetiltable portion 3. The latter is in turn formed by a pane ofglass 8 bordered around the perimeter by aframe 9 hinged to atransverse structure 10, whereto the lower pane ofglass 7 is also attached. - Referring to Figure 2, the
transverse structure 10 is formed by a cross member orsection bar 11 with a substantially H shape for bordering below a groove tightly housing the upper edge of theglass 7. Thelower edge 9a of theframe 9, wherein the corresponding lower edge of theglass 8 is tightly housed, is engaged on a pair ofpins frame 9 can rotate, allowing tiltable opening of the window. As also shown in Figures 3 and 4, the twopins 12a,b are slidingly engaged inbushings 13 integral with thelower edge 9a of theframe 9 and, at the ends of thecross member 11, in respective housings 14 (only one is shown in the drawings) formed insupport blocks 15 attached by means ofscrews 16 to theinner part 11a of the H-shaped cross member 11. - In order to actuate axial sliding of the
pins 12a,b which move towards or apart from each other, an actuation device is provided, more particularly a crank mechanism with manual actuation integral with aprofile 23 and connected to the two opposite ends of thepins 12a,b. More specifically, the free ends of the twopins disk 19 by means of respective connectingrods disk 19.Disk 19 is integral with astem 20 pivotally supported by theprofile 23 and emerging frontally therefrom with one of itsheads 20a set up for actuation by means of a special key. - By rotating the
stem 20 and thedisk 19 integral therewith, it is possible to transmit a sliding movement to the twopins pins respective support blocks 15, to a second position, illustrated in Figures 7 and 10, wherein the ends of thepins 12a,b are fully disengaged therefrom. Rotation of thedisk 19 is contrasted elastically by aflat spring 21 which pushes against a perimeter flattenedpart 19a of thedisk 19. Theflattened part 19a is positioned at thespring 21 when thepins 12a,b are in the aforesaid first position, which is the normal position of said pins, preventing accidental or unauthorised rotations of thedisk 19. - Referring to Figures 4-7, the
cross member 11 is connected by means of ahinge 22 to theprofile 23, extending inside thesame cross member 11. At the ends of theprofile 23 twoshoulders 24 are attached (only one can be seen in the drawings), wherein aslot 25 is formed at thehousings 14 of theblocks 15 whereto theshoulders 24 are adjacent. Moreover theprofile 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 thepin 12a (the same applies for thepin 12b), wherefrom anappendage 28 extends (see also Figure 8), abutting on aridge 23a of theprofile 23. This condition occurs when thepins 12a,b are in their first position, i.e. with their ends engaged in thehousings 14 of theblocks 15. Theappendage 28 also constitutes an abutment element for theedge 9a of theframe 9 when the latter and theglass 8 attached thereto are rotated around thepins 12a,b. As shown in Figure 9, thelower edge 9a of theframe 9 abuts on theappendage 28 on the opposite side to theridge 23a of theprofile 23, effectively limiting rotation of theframe 9 to a preset angle (denoted by α). - As shown in Figures 7 and 10, by placing the
pins housings 14 of theblocks 15 and are positioned at theslot 25 formed in each of theshoulders 24, theappendage 28 of theblock 27 is positioned at theaperture 26 of theprofile 23. - Since the
slot 25 has a length longer than the diameter of thehousing 14 and extends towards theprofile 23, once the end of thepins 12a,b has disengaged from therelevant housing 14, said end goes to the base of theslot 25, causing lowering of thepins 12a,b and of theframe 9 integral thereto, while theappendage 28 is positioned in theaperture 26. Theframe 9 is lowered automatically, once the ends of thepins 12a,b are disengaged from thehousings 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. - In the condition described above the
frame 9 is free to rotate around thehinge 22, adopting a fully tipped condition illustrated in Figure 11, no longer being attached to thesupport blocks 15 by means of the ends of thepins 12a,b. - If, in addition to tipping, the
frame 9 also has to be removed from thewindow 1, a third position of thepins 12a,b can be provided wherein they can also be withdrawn from theslots 25. This can be obtained by defining two different extents of rotation of thedisk 19, corresponding to two different extents of sliding of thepins 12a,b. More particularly, with a first rotation, thepins 12a,b can be slid until they are disengaged from thehousings 14 of theblocks 15 and with a second subsequent rotation, to be performed if the tiltable portion also has to be removed, the ends of thepins 12a,b can be disengaged from theslots 25 of theshoulders 24. Another way of fully freeing theframe 9 also from theprofile 23, pivotally connected to thecross member 11, is to make theslot 25 in a form which is open at the top, so that tipping of theframe 9 also causes simultaneous sliding of the ends of thepins 12a,b along therespective slots 25 causing them to exit therefrom at the end of the tipping movement. This solution is not illustrated in detail, in that it is in itself obvious in light of the drawings. -
Seals lower edge 9a of theframe 9 and thecross member 11 on one side and theprofile 23 on the other. - Figures 12 and 13 illustrate a different embodiment of the device for actuating axial sliding of the
pins tiltable part 3 rotates. In these drawings the same components present in the previous drawings have the same reference numeral. In this embodiment thedisk 19, whereto thepins 12a,b are connected via the connectingrods 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 thedisk 19. Anelastic plate 31 with an overturned V portion which engages in thedisk 19 prevents free rotation of the same disk and hence axial sliding of thepins 12a,b, maintaining thetiltable part 3 in a closed position. On the other hand, by overcoming the elastic reaction of theplate 31, it is possible to disengage it from thedisk 19 to allow its rotation and hence axial sliding of the twopins 12a,b. - In the embodiment of the invention shown in Figures 1-11, the possibility of rotation around the
pins 12a,b of thetiltable portion 3 is controlled by the abutting of thelower edge 9a of itsframe 9 on theappendage 28 of theblock 27 integral with thepin 12a and, correspondingly, thepin 12b. In a different embodiment, illustrated in Figures 14 and 15, aplate 34 with aprojection 33 is attached laterally to theframe 9, holding theglass 8 of the window. Theblock 15, in which thehousing 14 for the end of thepin 12a (12b) is formed, extends inside thesurround 5 up to the height of theprojection 33 at which it is shaped with anangled edge 15a extending towards saidprojection 33. Figure 14 illustrates the relative position of theangled edge 15a and of theprojection 33 when thetiltable portion 3 is closed. Figure 18 illustrates the relative position of the two components when thetiltable portion 3 is open. In this condition theprojection 33 abuts on theangled edge 15a, locking the tiltable portion in an open position with the preset slant. - When the
pins housings 14 of theblock 15, following actuation of the disk 19 (by means of a special key or the lever 32), thetiltable portion 3 lowers as shown in Figures 16 and 17 so that theprojection 33 also lowers, bringing itself below theangled edge 15a of theblock 15. In this case rotation of thetiltable portion 3 around thepins 12a,b is no longer limited by the abutting between theprojection 33 and theangular edge 15a and can continue as shown in Figure 19, until thetiltable portion 3 is fully tipped. It will be noted that in this solution removal of thetiltable portion 3 once the position of full tipping has been achieved is not provided. Thanks to the distance between theprojection 33 and the axis of rotation of thepins 12a,b, the tensile stress resistance of thetiltable portion 3 in an open condition is improved. - From the foregoing it is clear that 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 thetiltable portion 3 of thewindow 1 around thepins 12a,b. The window according to the invention also allows full tipping of thetiltable portion 3 in case emergency conditions should occur simply by actuating with a special key thestem head 20a placed centrally in relation to the window on thecross member 11, or by means of thelever 32, to disengage the ends of thepins 12a,b from the respective housings integral with the fixed structure. If considered necessary, it is also possible to provide for complete removal of thetiltable portion 3 of the window. The invention therefore allows emergency apertures through the windows to be provided without the need to smash the glass. - Variations and/or modifications may be made to the window for railway vehicles according to the present invention without thereby departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
