Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Doppelstöck-Schienenfahrzeug, das sich von einem ersten Wagenende in eine Längsrichtung zu einem zweiten Wagenende erstreckt, mit einem ersten Zwischenstock und einem zweiten Zwischenstock, mit einem Oberstock im Bereich zwischen dem ersten Zwischenstock und dem zweiten Zwischenstock, der in einem Stockwerk oberhalb des Zwischenstocks liegt und über mindestens eine Treppe zugänglich ist, mit einem Unterstock im Bereich zwischen dem ersten Zwischenstock und dem zweiten Zwischenstock, der in einem Stockwerk unterhalb des Zwischenstocks liegt und über mindestens eine weitere Treppe zugänglich ist, mit einem ersten Einstieg, der in den ersten Zwischenstock führt, und/oder mit einem zweiten Einstieg, der in den zweiten Zwischenstock führt, mit einer behindertengerechten Toilette und mit einem Stellplatz für einen Rollstuhl, wobei die Toilette und der Stellplatz in einem gemeinsamen Stockwerk liegen, welches der Zwischenstock ist und wobei die Toilette, bezogen auf die Längsrichtung, zwischen dem ersten Einstieg und dem Unterstock angeordnet ist. Ein solches Doppelstock-Schienenfahrzeug ist von der EP-A-1 566 322 bekannt.The invention relates to a double-deck rail vehicle which extends from a first end of the car in a longitudinal direction to a second end of the car, with a first mezzanine and a second mezzanine, with a top floor in the area between the first mezzanine and the second mezzanine, in a floor is located above the mezzanine and accessible via at least one staircase, with a lower floor in the area between the first mezzanine and the second mezzanine, which is located in a floor below the mezzanine and accessible via at least one further staircase, with a first entrance, the in leads the first mezzanine, and / or with a second entrance, which leads to the second mezzanine, with a handicapped accessible toilet and with a parking space for a wheelchair, the toilet and the parking space are in a common floor, which is the mezzanine and the toilet, be moved to the longitudinal direction, located between the first entry and the lower floor. Such a double-decker rail vehicle is of the EP-A-1 566 322 known.

Doppelstöckige Schienenfahrzeuge, auch Doppelstockwagen genannt, weisen üblicherweise einen Unterstock, einen Oberstock und zum Unterstock bzw. Oberstock höhenmäßig und gegebenenfalls in Längsrichtung des Schienenfahrzeugs versetzt einen Zwischenstock auf, von dem sowohl der Unterstock als auch der Oberstock über eine entsprechende Treppe zugänglich ist. Es kann auch einen ersten Zwischenstock im Bereich eines ersten Wagenendes und einen zweiten Zwischenstock im Bereich eines dem ersten Wagenende gegenüberliegenden zweiten Wagenendes geben, wobei der erste und der zweite Zwischenstock bezogen auf die Schienenoberkante in der selben Ebene liegen können. Der Boden des Unterstocks liegt dabei etwa 440 mm über Schienenoberkante (SO). Um dies zu erreichen, ist der Unterstock üblicherweise zwischen den beiden Drehgestellen des Doppelstock-Schienenfahrzeugs angeordnet. Der Boden des Oberstocks liegt etwa 2500 mm über SO. Der Boden des Zwischenstocks ist in einem Bereich dazwischen, beispielsweise bei etwa 1150 mm über SO, angeordnet.Double-decker rail vehicles, also called double-deck cars, usually have a lower floor, an upper floor and the lower floor or upper floor in terms of height and possibly in the longitudinal direction of the rail vehicle offset a mezzanine, from which both the lower floor and the upper floor is accessible via a corresponding staircase. It may also be a first mezzanine in the region of a first end of the car and a second mezzanine in the region of the first car end opposite the second car end, wherein the first and the second mezzanine relative to the Rail top can lie in the same plane. The bottom of the lower floor is about 440 mm above the top of the rail (SO). To achieve this, the lower floor is usually arranged between the two bogies of the double-decker rail vehicle. The floor of the upper floor is about 2500 mm above sea level. The bottom of the intermediate block is disposed in an area therebetween, for example at about 1150 mm above sea level.

Damit der Bereich des Unterstocks, also der Bereich zwischen den Drehgestellen, möglichst vollständig als Fahrgastraum, das heißt für eine entsprechende Bestuhlung zur Verfügung steht, ist üblicherweise der Bereich über den Drehgestellen als Einstieg in das Doppelstock-Schienenfahrzeug vorgesehen. Da sich der Einstieg oberhalb des Niveaus des Unterstocks befindet, wird dieser auch als Hocheinstieg bezeichnet.So that the area of the sub-floor, ie the area between the bogies, as completely as possible passenger compartment, that is for a corresponding seating available, the area is usually provided on the bogies as an entry into the double-decker rail vehicle. Since the entry is above the level of the sub-floor, this is also referred to as high entry.

Eine Toilette für die Fahrgäste ist konstruktionsbedingt in der Regel im Unterstock, teilweise aber auch im Zwischenstock, angeordnet.A toilet for the passengers is due to the design usually in the lower floor, but partly also in the mezzanine, arranged.

Es sind auch Doppelstock-Schienenfahrzeuge mit einer Behinderteneinrichtung, also mit einer behindertengerechte Toilette und einem Stellplatz für einen Rollstuhl, bekannt. Beim Einbau einer Behinderteneinrichtung in einem Doppelstock-Schienenfahrzeug muss einerseits berücksichtigt werden, dass eine behindertengerechte Toilette deutlich größer als eine normale Fahrgasttoilette auszulegen ist. Darüber hinaus ist zu berücksichtigen, dass die behindertengerechte Toilette vom Stellplatz des Rollstuhls ebenerdig oder zumindest über eine flache Rampe erreichbar sein muss. Die Folge ist, dass bei der Planung eines Doppelstock-Schienenfahrzeugs die behindertengerechte Toilette und der Stellplatz für den Rollstuhl im selben Stockwerk, in der Regel auch relativ nah beieinander, vorgesehen werden.There are also double-decker rail vehicles with a disabled facility, so with a disabled toilet and a parking space for a wheelchair known. When installing a disabled facility in a double-decker rail vehicle, on the one hand, it must be taken into account that a toilet suitable for the disabled is to be designed significantly larger than a normal passenger toilet. In addition, it should be noted that the disabled toilet from the parking space of the wheelchair must be accessible at ground level or at least via a flat ramp. The consequence is that when planning a Double-decker rail vehicle the disabled toilet and wheelchair space on the same floor, usually relatively close to each other, are provided.

Ferner ist zu berücksichtigen, dass eine Toilette, also auch eine behindertengerechte Toilette, konstruktionsbedingt nur im Unterstock oder Zwischenstock angeordnet werden kann. Im Zwischenstock kann aber aus Platzmangel eine Anordnung der vollständigen Behinderteneinrichtung, das heißt der behindertengerechten Toilette und des Stellplatzes, nicht vorgenommen werden, wenn im Zwischenstock der Einstiegsbereich, auf der einen Seite davon die Treppe zum Oberstock und die Treppe zum Unterstock und auf der anderen Seite davon zumindest der Durchgang zum benachbarten Wagen und ggf. eine kleine Sitzgruppe, mit entsprechendem Platzbedarf angeordnet werden sollen.Furthermore, it should be noted that a toilet, including a disabled toilet, due to the design can be arranged only in the lower floor or mezzanine. In the mezzanine can but lack of space an arrangement of the complete handicapped, that is the disabled toilet and the parking space, not be made when in the mezzanine entrance area, on one side of the stairs to the upper floor and the stairs to the lower floor and on the other side of which at least the passage to the adjacent car and possibly a small seating group, to be arranged with appropriate space requirements.

Um einen ebenerdigen Zugang zur behindertengerechten Toilette gewährleisten zu können, wird diese also zusammen mit dem Stellplatz für den Rollstuhl im Unterstock angeordnet. Damit einem Rollstuhlfahrer der ebenerdige Zugang zum Unterstock ermöglicht wird, ist gemäß Stand der Technik alternativ oder zusätzlich zum Hocheinstieg ein so genannter Tiefeinstieg vorgesehen, über den vom Bahnsteig aus der Unterstock ebenerdig oder über eine flache Rampe direkt zugänglich ist.In order to ensure a ground level access to disabled toilet, it is thus arranged together with the parking space for the wheelchair in the lower floor. So that a wheelchair user the ground floor access to the lower floor is made possible, according to the prior art, alternatively or in addition to high entry a so-called low entry provided over the platform from the lower floor at ground level or via a flat ramp is directly accessible.

Der Tiefeinstieg, der beispielsweise etwa bei 600 mm über SO liegt, hat allerdings den Nachteil, dass der für die Bestuhlung im Unterstock zur Verfügung stehende Raum gegenüber einem Doppelstock-Schienenfahrzeug mit Hocheinstieg reduziert ist. Es können im Unterstock also weniger Fahrgäste befördert werden.The low entry, for example, is about 600 mm above sea level, however, has the disadvantage that the space available for seating in the lower floor compared to a double-decker rail vehicle with high entry is reduced. It can be carried in the lower floor so fewer passengers.

Es ist daher die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein Doppelstock-Schienenfahrzeug der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend weiterzuentwickeln, dass trotz des Vorsehens einer Behinderteneinrichtung der für die Fahrgäste im Unterstock zur Verfügung stehende Raum vergrößert wird.It is therefore the object of the present invention to develop a double-decker rail vehicle of the type mentioned in that, despite the provision of a disabled device, the space available for the passengers in the lower floor is increased.

Die zuvor hergeleitete und aufgezeigte Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass der Stellplatz , bezogen auf die Längsrichtung, zwischen dem ersten Einstieg und der Toilette angeordnet ist. Mit anderen Worten weist das erfindungsgemäße Doppelstock-Schienenfahrzeug im Vergleich zum Stand der Technik einen in Richtung Wagenmitte verlängerten Zwischenstock auf, der Rollstuhlfahrern ermöglicht, sich in einem relativ großzügigen Bereich selbständig zu bewegen.The previously derived and indicated object is achieved in that the parking space, based on the longitudinal direction, is arranged between the first entrance and the toilet. In other words, the double-decker rail vehicle according to the invention, in comparison to the prior art, has an intermediate floor extended in the direction of the center of the car, which enables wheelchair users to move independently in a relatively generous area.

Erfindungsgemäß wird also die vollständige Behinderteneinrichtung, das heißt die behindertengerechte Toilette einschließlich des Stellplatzes für einen Rollstuhl, in den Zwischenstock verlagert, wodurch ein Tiefeinstieg zum direkten und ebenerdigen Zugang in den Unterstock nicht mehr notwendig ist. Der entsprechende Raum, den der Tiefeinstieg und der entsprechende Einstiegsbereich im Unterstock gemäß Stand der Technik eingenommen hat, kann auf diese Weise für eine zusätzliche Bestuhlung und damit die Beförderung weiterer Fahrgäste verwendet werden. Ein Rollstuhlfahrer kann sich auf der Ebene des Zwischenstücks.frei und ohne Hindernisse bewegen und insbesondere die behindertengerechte Toilette im Zwischenstock, ohne Stufen überwinden zu müssen, benutzen. Außerdem ist der Einstieg von Rollstuhlfahrern auch bei höheren Bahnsteigen (z.B. 960 mm über SO) möglich.Thus, according to the invention, the complete handicapped facility, that is the handicapped accessible toilet including the parking space for a wheelchair, is moved to the mezzanine floor, whereby a deep access to the direct and ground level access to the lower floor is no longer necessary. The corresponding space that the low entry and the corresponding entry area in the lower floor has taken in accordance with the prior art, can be used in this way for additional seating and thus the carriage of other passengers. A wheelchair user can move freely and without obstacles at the level of the intermediate piece and in particular the handicapped accessible Toilet in the mezzanine, without having to overcome steps to use. In addition, the entry of wheelchair users is also possible at higher platforms (eg 960 mm above sea level).

Da die behindertengerechte Toilette einen großen Teil des Zwischenstocks einnimmt und der Stellplatz aus Sicherheitsund Platzgründen nicht im Bereich des Einstiegs, der vorzugsweise über einem Drehgestell angeordnet ist, vorgesehen werden kann, sind grundsätzlich folgende Anordnungsmöglichkeiten für Toilette und Stellplatz vorgesehen.Since the disabled toilet occupies a large part of the mezzanine and the pitch for safety and space reasons not in the entry area, which is preferably located above a bogie, can be provided, the following arrangement options for toilet and parking space are basically provided.

Zwingend vorgegeben ist wie gesagt zunächst, dass die Toilette, bezogen auf die Längsrichtung, zwischen dem ersten Einstieg und dem Unterstock angeordnet ist, wobei der Ort der Toilette zwischen dem ersten Einstieg und der Wagenmitte liegen kann. Diese Anordnung der Toilette erlaubt es einerseits, dass die Fahrgäste sowohl aus dem ersten Wagenteil, beispielsweise dem Unterstock, als auch aus dem zweiten Wagenteil, insbesondere dem Zwischenstock, zur Toilette gelangen können, da diese aufgrund ihrer Anordnung noch einen Durchgang zwischen Toilette und Seitenwand des Doppelstock-Schienenfahrzeugs zuläßt. Somit ist die Toilette von einer Vielzahl von Fahrgastplätzen, darunter auch Rollstuhlstellplätzen, auf einfache Weise und mit kurzen Wegen erreichbar.Mandatory given is, as I said first, that the toilet, based on the longitudinal direction, is arranged between the first entry and the lower floor, the location of the toilet between the first entry and the center of the car can be. This arrangement of the toilet allows on the one hand, that the passengers from both the first car part, for example, the lower floor, as well as from the second car part, especially the mezzanine, can go to the toilet, as these due to their arrangement nor a passage between the toilet and the side wall of Double-decker rail vehicle permits. Thus, the toilet is accessible from a variety of passenger seats, including wheelchair spaces, in a simple way and with short distances.

Andererseits hat die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung der Toilette auch den Vorteil, dass der Bereich zwischen erstem Einstieg und erstem Wagenende neben weiteren Fahrgastplätzen auch noch genügend Raum für einen Durchgang zum. Nachbarwagen läßt.On the other hand, the arrangement of the toilet according to the invention also has the advantage that the area between the first entry and first end of the car next to other passenger seats also enough space for a passage to. Neighboring car leaves.

In besagtem Bereich des Zwischenstocks zwischen dem ersten Wagenende und dem ersten Einstieg ist dann auch gemäß einer Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Doppelstock-Schienenfahrzeugs der Stellplatz für den Rollstuhl angeordnet. Wie gesagt kann hier auch ein weiterer Sitzplatz, insbesondere ein Klappsitz, vorgesehen sein, beispielsweise für eine Begleitperson eines Rollstuhlfahrers. Der Rollstuhlfahrer kann von diesem ersten Bereich des Zwischenstocks ohne weiteres ebenerdig oder gegebenenfalls unter Benutzung einer flachen Rampe zu der behindertengerechten Toilette gelangen bzw. sich frei in dem vergrößerten Zwischenstock bewegen, ohne dass dabei auf den üblichen Komfort für die anderen Fahrgäste, beispielsweise eine gut erreichbare Toilette und ein Durchgang zum Nachbarwagen, verzichtet werden muss.In the said area of the intermediate floor between the first end of the wagon and the first entrance, the parking space for the wheelchair is then arranged according to an embodiment of the double-decker rail vehicle according to the invention. As I said, here also another seat, in particular a folding seat, be provided, for example, for a companion of a wheelchair user. The wheelchair user can easily reach the disabled toilet from this first area of the false floor at ground level or, where appropriate, using a flat ramp or move freely in the enlarged mezzanine, without giving up the usual comfort for the other passengers, for example an easily accessible one Toilet and a passage to the neighboring car, must be waived.

Die Toilette ist beabstandet vom Einstieg anzuordnen, das heißt weiter in Richtung Wagenmitte zu verschieben. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass der Stellplatz für den Rollstuhl oder auch ein weiterer Stellplatz, bezogen auf die Längsrichtung, zwischen dem ersten Einstieg und der Toilette angeordnet wird. Dadurch ist die Entfernung zwischen Stellplatz und Toilette auf ein Minimum reduziert, da der Rollstuhlfahrer nicht den Einstiegsbereich passieren muss, um vom Stellplatz zur Toilette zu gelangen. Dabei kann zwischen dem ersten Einstieg und der Toilette auch mindestens ein Sitzplatz, insbesondere Klappsitz, angeordnet sein, der vorzugsweise von einer Begleitperson genutzt werden kann.The toilet is spaced from the entrance to arrange, that is to move further towards the center of the car. This has the advantage that the parking space for the wheelchair or another parking space, relative to the longitudinal direction, is arranged between the first entrance and the toilet. As a result, the distance between the parking space and toilet is reduced to a minimum, since the wheelchair user does not have to pass through the entrance area to get from the parking space to the toilet. It can be between the first entry and the toilet too at least one seat, in particular folding seat, be arranged, which can be preferably used by an attendant.

Da nicht zwingend in jedem Endbereich eines Doppelstock-Schienenfahrzeugs ein vollständiges Treppenhaus vorhanden sein muss, über das sowohl der Unterstock als auch der Oberstock zugänglich ist, ist es auch denkbar, auf eine der Treppen im ersten Teil des Doppelstock-Schienenfahrzeugs zu verzichten. In diesem Fall könnte die Toilette besonders platzsparend angeordnet werden, indem sie, bezogen auf eine Richtung quer zur Längsrichtung, zwischen einer der Treppen und einer der Seitenwände des Doppelstock-Schienenfahrzeugs vorgesehen wird. Bei dieser Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Doppelstock-Schienenfahrzeugs wären folgende Varianten von Anordnungen von Treppen sinnvoll.Since not necessarily in every end of a double-decker rail vehicle, a complete staircase must be present, through which both the lower floor and the upper floor is accessible, it is also conceivable to dispense with one of the stairs in the first part of the double-decker rail vehicle. In this case, the toilet could be arranged in a particularly space-saving manner by providing it between one of the stairs and one of the side walls of the double-decker rail vehicle with respect to a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction. In this embodiment of the double-decker rail vehicle according to the invention, the following variants of arrangements of stairs would be useful.

So kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Toilette, bezogen auf eine Richtung quer zur Längsrichtung, zwischen einer ersten vom ersten Zwischenstock zum Oberstock führenden Treppe und der Seitenwand angeordnet ist, wobei die mindestens eine zum Unterstock führende Treppe vom zweiten Zwischenstock zum Unterstock führt. Mit anderen Worten ist in diesem Fall der Oberstock über eine Treppe vom ersten Zwischenstock und der Unterstock über eine Treppe vom zweiten Zwischenstock erreichbar. Um auch innerhalb eines Doppelstock-Schienenfahrzeugs vom Oberstock in den Unterstock zu gelangen, kann eine zweite zum Oberstock führende Treppe vorgesehen sein, die vom zweiten Zwischenstock zum Oberstock führt. Dadurch ist zumindest im zweitem Zwischenstock sowohl eine Treppe zum Unterstock als auch eine Treppe zum Oberstock vorhanden. Grundsätzlich wäre es aber auch denkbar, statt der zweiten zum Oberstock führenden Treppe im zweiten Zwischenstock an deren Stelle einen weiteren Stellplatz für Rollstühle, Kinderwagen, Fahrräder oder dergleichen vorzusehen. Dann könnte allerdings der Oberstock nur über den ersten Zwischenstock und der Unterstock nur über den zweiten Zwischenstock erreicht werden.Thus, it can be provided that the toilet is arranged, relative to a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction, between a first leading from the first mezzanine to the top floor staircase and the side wall, which leads at least one leading to the lower floor stairs from the second mezzanine to the lower floor. In other words, in this case the upper floor is accessible via a staircase from the first mezzanine and the lower mezzanine via a staircase from the second mezzanine. In order to get from the upper floor to the lower floor also within a double-decker rail vehicle, a second leading to the upper floor stairs may be provided, which leads from the second mezzanine to the upper floor. This is at least in the second mezzanine both a staircase to the lower floor and a staircase to the upper floor available. In principle, it would also be conceivable, instead of second leading to the upper floor stairs in the second mezzanine in their place provide another space for wheelchairs, strollers, bicycles or the like. Then, however, the upper floor could only be reached via the first mezzanine and the lower mezzanine only via the second mezzanine.

Es ist aber auch die Variante denkbar, wonach die Toilette, bezogen auf eine Richtung quer zur Längsrichtung, zwischen einer ersten vom ersten Zwischenstock zum Unterstock führenden Treppe und der Seitenwand angeordnet ist, wobei die mindestens eine zum Oberstock führende Treppe vom zweiten Zwischenstock zum Oberstock führt. Diese Alternative unterscheidet sich von der vorangehend beschriebenen Alternative dadurch, dass im ersten Zwischenstock in diesem Fall die andere Treppe, nämlich die zum Oberstock führende Treppe, durch die Toilette oder einen Teil davon ersetzt wird. Der Oberstock wäre dann nur über eine Treppe im zweiten Zwischenstock zugänglich. Entsprechend kann auch in diesem Fall eine zweite zum Unterstock führende Treppe vorgesehen sein, die dann nämlich vom zweiten Zwischenstock zum Unterstock führt. Statt dieser zweiten zum Unterstock führenden Treppe kann aber ebenfalls noch ein weiterer Stellplatz für Rollstühle, Kinderwagen, Fahrräder, etc. vorgesehen sein, wobei dann der Unterstock nur über den ersten Zwischenstock und der Oberstock nur über den zweiten Zwischenstock zugänglich wäre.But it is also the variant conceivable, according to which the toilet, based on a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction, between a first leading from the first mezzanine to the lower floor stairs and the side wall is arranged, the at least one leading to the upper floor stairs leads from the second mezzanine to the upper floor , This alternative differs from the alternative described above in that in the first mezzanine in this case the other staircase, namely the stairs leading to the upper floor, is replaced by the toilet or a part thereof. The upper floor would then be accessible only via a staircase in the second mezzanine. Accordingly, a second leading to the lower floor stairs may be provided in this case, which then leads from the second mezzanine to the lower floor. Instead of this second leading to the lower floor stairs but also another space for wheelchairs, strollers, bicycles, etc. may be provided, in which case the lower floor would be accessible only on the first mezzanine and the upper floor only on the second mezzanine.

Bei beiden zuvor beschriebenen Varianten ist es denkbar, dass die Toilette, bezogen auf die Längsrichtung, benachbart zum Unterstock angeordnet ist. Es ist aber auch denkbar, dass zwischen der Toilette und dem Unterstock noch ein weiterer Abschnitt des ersten Zwischenstocks vorgesehen ist, in welchem weitere Stellplätze und/oder Sitzplätze angeordnet werden können.In both variants described above, it is conceivable that the toilet, with respect to the longitudinal direction, is disposed adjacent to the lower floor. But it is also conceivable that between the toilet and the lower floor still another Section of the first intermediate floor is provided, in which further parking spaces and / or seats can be arranged.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Doppelstock-Schienenfahrzeugs ist über dem ersten Zwischenstock ein Lagerraum vorgesehen. Ein solcher Lagerraum kann beispielsweise für Reisegepäck oder für Ausrüstungsgegenstände des Schienenfahrzeugs genutzt werden. Im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung werden unter Ausrüstungsgegenständen beispielsweise Tanks, insbesondere für Frischwasser zur Versorgung der Toilette, Gegenstände für die Durchführung von Erste-Hilfe-Maßnahmen oder Werkzeug verstanden. Vorzugsweise ist der gesamte Dachbereich über dem Zwischenstock als Lagerraum ausgebildet.According to a further embodiment of the double-decker rail vehicle according to the invention, a storage space is provided above the first mezzanine. Such a storage room can be used for example for luggage or for equipment of the rail vehicle. For the purposes of the present invention, items of equipment are, for example, tanks, in particular for fresh water for supplying the toilet, items for carrying out first aid measures or tools. Preferably, the entire roof area above the mezzanine is designed as a storage space.

Eine besondere Platzersparnis wird schließlich durch noch eine weitere Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Doppelstock-Schienenfahrzeugs erreicht, indem nämlich der erste Einstieg und/oder der zweite Einstieg über einem der Drehgestelle des Doppelstock-Schienenfahrzeugs angeordnet wird.A special saving of space is finally achieved by still another embodiment of the double-decker rail vehicle according to the invention, namely by the first entry and / or the second entry is arranged on one of the bogies of the double-decker rail vehicle.

Es gibt nun eine Vielzahl von Möglichkeiten, das erfindungsgemäße Doppelstock-Schienenfahrzeug auszugestalten und weiterzubilden. Hierzu wird verwiesen einerseits auf die dem Patentanspruch 1 nachgeordneten Patentansprüche, andererseits auf die Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispiels in Verbindung mit der Zeichnung. In der Zeichnung zeigt:

There are now a variety of ways to design and develop the double-decker rail vehicle according to the invention. Reference is made on the one hand to the claims subordinate to claim 1, on the other hand to the description of an embodiment in conjunction with the drawings. In the drawing shows:
Fig. 1
a floor plan of a double-decker rail vehicle and
Fig. 2
a side view of the second part of the double-decker rail vehicle Fig. 1 ,

Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel weist das Doppelstock-Schienenfahrzeug 1, das mit einer Behinderteneinrichtung versehen ist, ein erstes Wagenende 2a auf, das in den Figuren 1 und 2 auf der rechten Seite dargestellt ist, sowie ein zweites Wagenende 2b, das in den Figuren 1 und 2 auf der linken Seite dargestellt ist. Dabei sind die Begriffe "erstes Ende" und "zweites Ende" nicht zwingend auf die Fahrtrichtung des Doppelstock-Schienenfahrzeugs 1 zu verstehen. Im Gegenteil, die Anordnung der einzelnen Komponenten und Bauteile im Innern des Doppelstock-Schienenfahrzeugs ist fahrtrichtungsunabhängig.In the illustrated embodiment, the double-decker rail vehicle 1, which is provided with a disabled device, a first car end 2 a, which in the FIGS. 1 and 2 is shown on the right side, and a second car end 2b, which in the FIGS. 1 and 2 is shown on the left side. The terms "first end" and "second end" are not necessarily to be understood in the direction of travel of the double-decker rail vehicle 1. On the contrary, the arrangement of the individual components and components inside the double-decker rail vehicle is independent of direction of travel.

Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel weist das Doppelstock-Schienenfahrzeug 1 einen ersten Zwischenstock 3a und einen zweiten Zwischenstock 3b auf, wobei der zweite Zwischenstock 3b wie im Stand der Technik mit einem bestuhlten Abschnitt im Bereich des Wagenendes 2b und einem vollständigen Treppenhaus versehen ist.In the illustrated embodiment, the double-decker rail vehicle 1 has a first mezzanine 3a and a second mezzanine 3b, the second mezzanine 3b, as in the prior art, being provided with a seated section in the region of the car end 2b and a complete staircase.

Das Doppelstock-Schienenfahrzeug 1 weist im Bereich zwischen dem ersten Zwischenstock 3a und dem zweiten Zwischenstock 3b einen Oberstock (nicht dargestellt) und einen Unterstock 5 auf. Der Oberstock ist in einem Stockwerk oberhalb des Zwischenstocks 3a und 3b angeordnet und vom ersten Zwischenstock 3a über eine Treppe 4a und vom zweiten Zwischenstock 3b über eine Treppe 4b zugänglich. Der Unterstock 5 liegt in einem Stockwerk unterhalb des Zwischenstocks 3a und 3b und ist vom Zwischenstock 3b über eine weitere Treppe 4c zugänglich.The double-decker rail vehicle 1 has an upper floor (not shown) and a lower floor 5 in the area between the first intermediate floor 3a and the second intermediate floor 3b. The upper floor is arranged on a floor above the intermediate floor 3a and 3b and accessible from the first mezzanine 3a via a staircase 4a and from the second mezzanine 3b via a staircase 4b. The lower floor 5 is located in a floor below the intermediate floor 3a and 3b and is accessible from the mezzanine 3b via a further staircase 4c.

Auf eine zweite zum Unterstock 5 führende Treppe wird zugunsten einer behindertengerechten Toilette 8 verzichtet, die, bezogen auf die Längsrichtung L, zwischen dem ersten Einstieg 7a, der als Hocheinstieg über dem Drehgestell 13 ausgebildet ist, und dem Unterstock 5 angeordnet ist.On a second leading to the lower floor 5 stairs is omitted in favor of a disabled toilet 8, which, based on the longitudinal direction L, between the first entrance 7a, which is formed as a high entry above the bogie 13, and the lower floor 5 is arranged.

Im ersten Zwischenstock 3a sind außerdem mehrere Stellplätze 9 und 9' für Rollstühle angeordnet. Dabei liegt der Stellplatz 9, bezogen auf die Längsrichtung L, zwischen dem ersten Einstieg 7a und dem ersten Wagenende 2a. Im Bereich dieses Stellplatzes sind außerdem noch vier als Klappsitz ausgebildete Sitzplätze 11 vorgesehen, die dann benutzt werden können, wenn der Stellplatz 9 nicht von einem Rollstuhl besetzt ist. Außerdem ist zwischen dem ersten Einstieg 7a und dem ersten Wagenenende 2a ein Durchgang 12 zum Nachbarwagen angeordnet.In the first mezzanine 3a also several parking spaces 9 and 9 'are arranged for wheelchairs. In this case, the parking space 9, based on the longitudinal direction L, between the first entrance 7a and the first end of the car 2a. In the area of this space also four seats designed as a folding seat seats 11 are provided, which can then be used when the parking space 9 is not occupied by a wheelchair. In addition, a passage 12 to the neighboring car is arranged between the first entrance 7a and the first end of the car 2a.

Da im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel die Toilette 8 nicht unmittelbar an den Einstiegsbereich des ersten Einstiegs 7a angrenzt, sondern um ein gewisses Maß in Richtung Wagenmitte des Doppelstock-Schienenfahrzeugs 1 versetzt ist, ist zwischen der Toilette 8 und dem ersten Einstieg 7a noch genügend Raum für die weiteren Stellplätze 9' sowie weitere Sitzplätze 11', die ebenfalls als Klappsitz ausgebildet sind.Since in the present embodiment, the toilet 8 is not directly adjacent to the entry area of the first entry 7a, but is offset by a degree in the direction of the center of the double-deck rail vehicle 1, between the toilet 8 and the first entrance 7a is still enough room for the others Pitches 9 'and other seats 11', which are also designed as a folding seat.

Die Toilette 8 ist, bezogen auf eine Richtung quer zur Längsrichtung L, zwischen der zum Oberstock führenden Treppe 4a und einer der Seitenwände 6 des Doppelstock-Schienenfahrzeugs 1 angeordnet. Ein Zugang zum Unterstock 5 ist somit vom ersten Zwischenstock 3a nicht möglich.The toilet 8 is arranged, with respect to a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction L, between the staircase 4a leading to the upper floor and one of the side walls 6 of the double-decker rail vehicle 1. An access to the lower floor 5 is thus not possible from the first mezzanine 3a.

Allerdings ist im zweiten Wagenteil ein vollständiges Treppenhaus vorgesehen, über das Fahrgäste vom zweiten Zwischenstock 3b nicht nur in den Oberstock, sondern auch in den Unterstock 5 gelangen.However, in the second car part, a complete staircase is provided, via which passengers pass from the second mezzanine 3b not only into the upper floor, but also into the lower floor 5.

Eine weitere Besonderheit des dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels eines Doppelstock-Schienenfahrzeugs 1 gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung ist in Fig. 2 dargestellt. So ist der Dachbereich über dem vollständigen ersten Zwischenstock 3a als Lagerraum 10 ausgebildet, in welchem beispielsweise Frischwassertanks und Reisegepäck angeordnet werden können.Another special feature of the illustrated embodiment of a double-decker rail vehicle 1 according to the present invention is shown in FIG Fig. 2 shown. Thus, the roof area is formed above the complete first mezzanine 3a as a storage room 10, in which, for example, fresh water tanks and luggage can be arranged.
