Definitions
- the invention pertains to a gangway side wall for a gangway between a first car of a multi-car vehicle and a second car of said vehicle comprising a side panel.
- the invention also pertains to a gangway to be arranged between a first car of a multi-car vehicle and a second car of said vehicle.
- Multi-car vehicles are known in different designs and in different forms of adaptation for uses.
- Multi-car vehicles are, for example, railway-bound trains (street cars and subway-trains also being considered as such trains) are known and are known for the purpose of transporting passengers as well as transporting goods.
- Further types of multi-car vehicles can be magnetic railway trains or can be busses (road buses as well as buses traveling on fixed tracks).
- a car of a multi-car vehicle can be a self-supporting cars, whereby the car has sufficient wheels that are placed at sufficient locations such that the car can stand by itself without being supported by other cars, for example a three-wheeled car, a four wheeled car or a car with even more wheels.
- a car of a multi-car vehicle can also be of the none-self-supporting type, whereby the car has no wheels or only wheels provided in such number or arranged at such a place that the car can not stand by itself, but is vertically supported by at least one neighboring car.
- gangways which are to be arranged between a first car of such a train and a second car of such a train.
- these trains make use of bellows.
- a tubular member of the bellow-type is used, the outside of this tube being the outside of the gangway and the inside of the tube being used as room to allow passengers to move from the first car of the train to the second car of the train. It is also known to arrange further elements inside this tubular member.
- a semi-rigid floor can be arranged inside the tubular member, which is rigid enough to support passengers or equipment moving from the first car to the second car, but that is at the same time flexible enough to allow the first car to pivot relative to the second car about a vertical axis, for example when the multi-car vehicle is moving around a bend.
- rigid panels as side walls inside the tubular member to enhance the inside appearance of the gangway on the one hand by preventing the passenger moving through the gangway from seeing the inside of the bellows and for safety reasons on the other hand for avoiding injuries that might be caused if a passenger holds onto segments of the bellow.
- the rigid side panels can only be designed with a small widths or have to be moved closer together inside the tubular member and thereby narrowing the room for the passage of the passengers, as otherwise a rigid side panel would disturb the movement of the multi-car vehicle around the bend, for example by hitting the first car or the second car with its side edges.
- the object of the invention is to suggest a gangway side wall for a gangway between a first car of a multi-car vehicle and a second car of said vehicle that comprises a side panel, which can be better adopted to different uses or which can be used to create a sufficiently wide gangway for the passage of passengers, but at the same time allows for a use in a multi-car vehicle that needs to be designed in a manner to allow it to go around sharp bends.
- the object is further to provide a gangway which allows for the same abilities.
- the invention is based on the basic concept to make the side panel at least in a section of its longitudinal extend flexible to be bend into a concave or convex form, preferably into the form of an arch and to provide means, for example a first connection, that can bring the flexible section of the side panel to take up this concave or convex form.
- This basic design can be used to actively shorten the longitudinal extend of the side panel, if the present driving conditions require such a shortening of the longitudinal extend of the side panel.
- the gangway side wall according to the invention can, for example, be designed and arranged to be build into a multi-car vehicle whereby the side panel fully extends along its longitudinal extend in a straight line (in one plane) in normal driving conditions and whereby the side panel is made to take up the concave or convex form, if the respective side of the gangway needs to be shortened, for example in driving conditions where this side of the gangway side wall is the inner side of the multi-car vehicle going around the bend.
- the gangway side wall of the invention comprises a side panel.
- the side panel takes up the full lengthwise and heightwise extend of the gangway side wall. Designs of the gangway side wall according to the invention are, however, also feasible, where the side panel only takes up a part of the longitudinal extend of the gangway side wall.
- the side panel can, for example be combined with other side panels to make up the gangway side wall. For example it can be used made up together with rigid side panels in order to make up the gangway side wall.
- the side panel has substantially the same height as the gangway side wall.
- the lengthwise direction is understood to be the direction from the first car to the second car, if the gangway side wall is build into a gangway that is arranged between a first car of a multi-car vehicle and a second car of said vehicle.
- the heightwise direction is to be understood to be the substantially vertically pointing direction that the gangway will have when it is arranged between the first car of a multi-car vehicle and the second car of said vehicle. Consequently, the widthswise direction will refer to the direction perpendicular to the lengthwise direction and perpendicular to the heightwise direction.
- the side panel has a heightwise extend of at least 1,50 m, preferably of at least 1,80 m, preferably of at least 2,0 m and especially preferred of more than 2,20 m.
- the side panel for at least a section of its longitudinal extend has a rectangular shape or can - if this section along the longitudinal extend of the side panel is made from flexible material - be held to take up a rectangular shape.
- the side panel is connected to a first connection at one side and connected to a second connection at a second side that is opposite the first side.
- the first connection is suitable to attach the side panel to other parts of the gangway or is suitable to attach the side panel to the first car.
- the second connection is suitable to attach the side panel to other parts of the gangway or is suitable to attach the side panel to the second car.
- the gangway side wall can for example be fitted to a frame, for example a rectangular frame, at the one end of the gangway, which is to be connected to the first car and also be connected to a second frame, preferably a rectangular frame, which is provided at the other end of the gangway in order to connect the gangway to the second car of the multi-car vehicle.
- the second connection can be designed to connect the side panel to such frames.
- the side panel can, for example have hooks, which can be inserted into appropriate holes on the frame. Or the side panel can be bolted directly to the frame at the respective end or can be glued to the frame at the respective end. If in such an embodiment with frames the frames are part of the gangway and thus detachable from the first car and the second car, the first connection and the second connection provided as described for this preferred embodiment are suitable to attach the side panel to other parts of the gangway.
- the frames are considered to be part of the first car and the second car, for example if these frames are part of the general frame structure of the first car and the second car, the first connection and the second connection would then be suitable to attach the side panel to the first car and the second car respectively.
- first connection and the second connection do not necessarily need to be connected to frames, however. It is also feasible, for example, that the first connection and/or the second connection are attached to side walls of the cars or are attached to floor parts of the cars. Also, the first connection and the second connection do not need to be of the same type, but preferably are of the same type.
- the invention is, however, not limited to side panels that span the whole lengthwise direction of the side wall, as already pointed out above.
- the first connection and/or the second connection can thereby be provided to connect the side panel to other parts of the gangway side wall or to other parts of the gangway or other parts of the cars.
- the gangway side wall can be made up of a first end rigid panel and a second end rigid panel with the side panel as described in claim 1 being arranged in the middle of these two rigid side panels.
- a first side panel according to the invention can be provided on one side of a middle rigid panel and a second side panel according to the invention can be arranged on the opposite side of a middle rigid panel.
- the respective first connection could be used to connect the respective side panels according to the invention to the first car and the second car respectively, for example to attach them to the floor or the side wall of these cars.
- the second connection of the respective side panels can be used to connect the side panels according to the invention to the middle rigid panel.
- the side panel at least in a section of its longitudinal extend is flexible to be bend into a concave or convex form.
- the side panel is flexible over its complete heightwise extend.
- the side panel is preferably flexible to be bend into the form of an arch.
- the angle between the lines drawn from the respective end of the arch along the radius of the arch towards the center of the arch preferably enclose an angle of more than 5°, preferably of more than 45°, preferably more than 90° and even more preferred of more than 180°.
- the respective section of the side panel is sufficiently flexible to be rolled up into a tube.
- the side panel is arranged in the side wall in such a manner and is flexible in such a direction that the arch forms about an axis that is not horizontal (not in a plane or parallel to a plane that also encompasses the widthwise and the lengthwise direction).
- the axis of the arch is substantially vertical.
- the gangway side wall has a first connection being suitable to hold the side panel such that it takes up a concave or convex form in the region of the first connection, preferably in the form of an arch.
- the first connection has an element to which a part of the side wall can be attached and which element is pretensioned by tensioning means to move in a predefined manner and thereby move that part of the side panel connected to this element in the same predefined manner, if the amount of tension is sufficient to allow for this movement, which means that the side panel does not resist such a movement with a resistance that is larger than said pretension.
- this element itself is formed to assist the side wall to take up the concave or convex form, preferably the form of the arch.
- the first connection can have a support element that at least has a surface portion that has the shape of an arch. If the side panel is connected to this support element and the support element is rotated about the axis of the arch, the side panel can be made to contact at least a part of this surface portion and by the shape of the surface portion can be aided to take up the shape of an arch.
- the support element can be a cylinder. In a different embodiment, the above discussed element does, however, not need to aid the side panel by taking up the concave or convex form.
- the side panel can take up this form by itself and can for example have inner elements like appropriately arranged longitudinal bars that ensure that if the side panel is pulled in a specific direction, for example in the widthwise direction, the bar will take up a concave or convex form by itself.
- further assisting elements can be provided that assist the side panel to take up the concave or convex form.
- disk-shaped elements can be provided. If the side panel is pulled by the above element around these assistance elements, the side panel will take up its concave or convex form.
- the first connection has at least one fixing element that can be held stationary and around which said section can be rotated or said section can be moved around said fixing element while taking up the concave or convex form.
- This fixing element allows the first connection to be suitable to attach the side panel to other parts of the gangway or to the first car, while at the same time allows the side panel to take up different shapes at different driving conditions, depending on how far the section has been rotated around the fixing element.
- the advantages of the invention can be achieved, if only one section of the side panel along its longitudinal extend is flexible to be bend into a concave or convex form and if the first connection is suitable to hold the side panel such that it takes up the concave or convex form.
- the side panel can be arranged as part of the gangway side wall in such a manner that an end section of the side panel is flexible and whereby the first connection is arranged at the end of the gangway side wall facing towards one of the cars of the multi-car vehicle.
- a side panel with only one flexible section can be arranged as part of the gangway side wall in such a manner that an end section of the side panel is made flexible and that the first connection is not arranged at an end of the gangway side wall, but somewhere along the longitudinal extend of the gangway side wall between the opposite ends of the gangway side wall such that the side panel can take up its concave or convex form at this point along the longitudinal extend of the gangway side wall between its ends.
- a further side panel can, for example be arranged to bridge the remaining part of the gangway side wall that is not taken up by the side wall with the flexible part. This bridging side wall could be a rigid side wall.
- This bridging side wall could, however, be of the same type as the side wall with the flexible section having its respective first connection also been arranged closed to the first connection of the first discussed side wall.
- the side panel has a flexible section somewhere between its ends in the longitudinal extend, preferably approximately in the middle and where the side panel is made to take up the concave or convex form in this intermediate section along its longitudinal extend.
- this intermediate section of a longitudinal extend could be provided in the middle of the gangway side wall along its longitudinal extend, for example.
- the side panel not only has one section of its longitudinal extend that is flexible to be bend into a concave or convex form, but is at least in a first section in the region of the first connection and in a second section in the region of the second connection flexible to be bend into a concave or convex form, preferably into the form of a first arch and a second arch and especially preferably in such arches that each have an axis that is not horizontal (not in the plane that includes the lengthwise and widthwise direction).
- the first section can be arranged at the one end of the side panel and the second section can be arranged at the opposite side of the side panel, whereby the side panel is bend into respective arches at its end, preferably wound up into tubes at its respective opposite ends.
- the gangway side wall according to the invention is designed in such a manner that
- the axis of the first arch of the above described preferred embodiment is parallel to the axis of the second arch. This facilitates arranging the side panel in substantially one plane. In a preferred embodiment, the axis of the first arch and the axis of the second arch are arranged substantially vertical.
- the first connection has a support element that at least has a surface portion that has the shape of an arch, whereby the side panel contacts at least a part of the surface portion and whereby the support element has a bearing and is supported by this bearing to rotate or pivot about an axle.
- a support element can aid the side panel to take up the concave or convex form.
- Supporting the support element on a bearing to rotate or pivot about an axle is a simple way of allowing the support element that movement that will aid the side panel to take up the concave or convex form.
- the bearing can simply be a bush around an axle.
- the bearing is a roller bearing or a similar type bearing that reduces the friction of rotating the support element about the axle.
- the axle coincides with the axis of the arch that the side panel in a preferred embodiment is made to take up as concave or convex form.
- the support element is fixedly connected to an axle and whereby the axle is connected via a torsion spring to a fixed point and whereby the torsional spring pretensions the axle into a first rotational direction relative to the fix point.
- a torsion spring to a fixed point
- the torsional spring pretensions the axle into a first rotational direction relative to the fix point.
- the axle could be fixedly connected to a fix point and the support element could be connected to this axle via a torsional spring, whereby the torsional spring pretensions the support element into a first rotational direction relative to the axle.
- connection between the support element and the axle allows the support element to pivot about a pivot-axis that is not in line with the axis of the axle and not parallel to this axis.
- a design allows to take up torsional movements of the multi-car vehicle or pivoting movements of the multi-car vehicle or of the gangway relative to one or both of the first and the second car of the multi-car vehicle.
- a design can be made, where the axle is fixedly connected to the first car, but whereby the driving conditions require the side wall or the side panel of the side wall of the gangway to take up a tilted position relative to the first car. This tilting of the side panel can be allowed for, if the support element is allowed to pivot about a pivot-axis that is not in line with the axis of the axle and not parallel to this axis.
- the first connection has an element and whereby the side panel is connected to this element and aided to take up the concave or convex form, if the element is moved.
- the side panel is arranged such that it can glide over at least a part of the surface portion of the support element that has the shape of an arch.
- the support element is held stationary and where the flexible section of the side panel is pulled over the support element to take up the convex or concave shape.
- the support element aids the side panel to take up the concave or convex form, but in itself is not moved.
- the support element could be a stationary cylinder and the side panel can be pulled around a part of the surface of the support element to take up the arch shape.
- the support element is a cylinder or a pipe or a ring or a disk. These elements have surfaces that can be used to aid the side panel to take up and arch-shaped form.
- at least that surface portion of the support element that comes into contact with the side panel is made of an elastic material and/or has mechanical means that dampens movement of the side panel in the direction perpendicular to the surface of this surface portion. These measures can help to dampen the movement of the side panel and can also be helpful in reducing noises.
- the support element has a guiding surface that limits the movement of the side panel in the direction of the axis of the arch.
- the support element has a top guiding surface and a bottom guiding surface, the top guiding surface limiting the movement of the side panel towards the top and the bottom guiding surface limiting the movement of the side panel towards the bottom. This can preferably be used to prevent the side panel to leave the support element, if the support element and the side panel are adapted to each other in such a manner that the side panel fully covers the support element.
- the side panel has a first end, which is arranged such that it can move relative to the first connection.
- the first connection could have a support element that is designed as a cylinder and the first end of the side panel could be wrapped around a part of the circumference of this cylinder. As the end of the side panel is pulled away from the cylinder, some new sections of the side panel will bend into the form of an arch, while other sections that previously were bend into the shape of an arch will straighten out.
- the gangway side wall is designed such that the first connection and the second connection can change their position relative to one another and can be arranged closer to one another or further apart from one another and whereby the first end moves further away from the first connection in driving conditions, where the distance between the first connection and the second connection is to be shortened.
- the support element is chosen to be a cylinder
- pulling away the end from the cylinder brings the opposite end of the side wall closer to this cylinder and would therefore bring the second connection, if it is arranged in the area of the second end of the side wall, closer to the first connection.
- the side panel can have a second end, which is arranged such that it can move relative to the second connection.
- it can also be the second end of the side panel that can alternatively be moved in an embodiment of the invention in the manner described in the section immediately above this section with regard to the first end. Or even the first end and the second end can be made to move relative to their respective connections in a preferred embodiment.
- this embodiment is used in an embodiment whereby the gangway side wall is designed such that the first connection and the second connection can change their position relative to one another and can be arranged closer to one another or further apart from one another and whereby the second end moves further away from the second connection in driving conditions, where the distance between the first connection and the second connection is shortened.
- the side panel can be arranged to have a first end, which is arranged such that it can move around an axis in order to wrap a section of the side panel into a tubular wrap around the axis. While the one embodiment, where the end of the side panel is pulled around an element, but also pulled away from this element provides for a simple design and reduces the requirements for the flexibility of the section of the side panel to be bend around the respective element, wrapping a section of the side panel into a tubular wrap around an axis provides for more of the side panel to be taken up within a small space. This allows for the side panel of the side wall to be shortened in its longitudinal extend without taking up a lot of space.
- This embodiment is preferably used in a design, whereby the gangway side wall is designed such that the first connection and the second connection can change their position relative to one another and can be arranged closer to one another or further apart from one another and whereby the first end moves further around the axis and wraps more of the side panel into the tubular wrap in driving conditions, where the distance between the first connection and the second connection is shortened.
- the side panel also has a second end, which is arranged such that it can move around an axis in order to wrap a section of the side panel into a tubular wrap around the axis, especially whereby the gangway side wall is designed such that the first connection and the second connection can change their position relative to one another and can be arranged closer to one another or further apart from one another and whereby the second end moves further around the axis and wraps more of the side panel into the tubular wrap in driving conditions, where the distance between the first connection and the second connection is shortened.
- the side panel has a first end, whereby elastic and/or mechanical means act upon this first end to pretension this first end into a first position, preferably into a first rotational position about an axis or a first lateral position.
- the first connection can have, for example, an element, for example a support element, to which an end of the side panel can be attached and which element is pretensioned into a certain position. If the end is to be wrapped into a tubular wrap, elastic and/or mechanical means can be provided to pretension the end into a first rotational position for example being wrapped up into the tubular wrap for a predetermined portion of its longitudinal extend.
- elastic and/or mechanical means can be provided to pretension the first end into a first lateral position, for example into a first lateral position relative to an element around which the side panel is pulled.
- the gangway side wall according to the invention has a deflector element that is arranged proximate to that section of the side panel that is bend into a concave or convex form preferably bend into the shape of an arch.
- the deflector plate preferably is arranged to stop elements to move together with parts of the side panel around the arch.
- the deflector element could prevent fingers that are pressed against the side panel to move around the arch and thereby come behind the side panel.
- the deflector element can stop other things attached to the side panel, for example debris, for example rubbish, for example papers to be pulled around the arch and thereby being pulled behind the side panel. This allows for the area behind the side panel to be kept tidy.
- the side panel in a section along its longitudinal extend is rigid and can not be bend into a concave or convex form preferably can not be bend into the form of an arch.
- Making sections of the side panel rigid can aid to improve the appearance of the side panel.
- the side panel can be arranged such that the main part of the side panel is rigid, while at its ends the side panel is flexible to be brought into the convex or concave shape.
- the side panel can be made primarily of a rigid section, whereby the flexible sections are designed sufficiently long to allow for the desired shortening of the longitudinal lengths of the side panel for the driving conditions of going around a bend.
- Providing rigid sections of the side panel can also allow the side panel to be suitable for the attachment of notice-boards, advertising panels, monitor-screens or the like.
- the side panel is not only in a section of its longitudinal extend, but for its complete longitudinal extend flexible to be bend into a concave or convex form.
- the section of the side panel along its longitudinal extend that is flexible to be bend into a concave or convex form, preferably into a form of an arch comprises rigid longitudinal sub panels, preferably arranged to extend along the heightwise direction, that are connected to one another by means of joints or elastic connectors.
- a design similar to roller blinds can for example be used in this section of the side panel.
- Such a design allows the side panel even in its flexible section to have a stability of its heightwise direction and to prevent slagging of this flexible section of the sight panel due to the weight of the sight panel in this section itself. Still, such a design allows the section of the sight panel to be flexible to be bend into a concave or convex form.
- the section of the sight panel along its longitudinal extend that is flexible to be bend into a convex or concave form, preferably into the form of an arch is made from rubber, preferably reinforced rubber such as rubber reinforced by metal objects and/or reinforced by textile fabric or is made from a different elastic material and/or rubber that has been plated with sectional rigid elements.
- the material can for example, be the or can be similar to the material used as flexible canvas on lorries.
- the material is protected against being cut up by knives by use of a wire mesh inside the material.
- the material is non-inflammable or hard to inflame.

- the gangway can have the gangway side wall according to the invention arranged as an inner side wall and additionally having the tubular element of the bellows type encompassing the gangway side wall.
- the gangway side wall according to the invention would be the inside gangway side wall, whereby the outside side wall is provided by the bellows.
- the gangway according to the invention can, however, do away with the bellows and simply have the gangway side wall according to the invention to make up its side wall.
- the gangway is designed in such a manner that it can take up the shape of a box in driving conditions in which the longitudinal axis of the first car and the longitudinal axis of the second car are aligned, whereby the box is delimited by the gangway floor, a gangway ceiling and two gangway side walls of which at least one +side wall is designed according to the invention and whereby the gangway has openings at two opposite sites.
- the gangway floor of the gangway contains at least a first rectangular panel and a second rectangular panel, whereby the second panel can move relative to the first panel, especially whereby the second panel can move under the first panel and further especially whereby the first panel and the second panel can take a first relative position to one another, in which the longitudinal axis of the first and second panel are parallel to one another and whereby in a second relative position the longitudinal axis of the first panel is at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the second panel that is not equal to 0° or 180° or multiples of 180°.
- the invention uses the advantages obtained by the invention in combination with providing a gangway floor of the gangway between a first car of a multi-car vehicle and a second car of said vehicle with a first floor panel that has the shape a sector of a circle or the shape of a segment of a circle and a second floor panel with a shape of a sector of a circle or the shape of a segment of a circle.
- the respective ends allows the cars of the multi-vehicle to take up a multitude of relative positions to each other, which facilitates the movement of the multi-car vehicle along parts that are different from the straight line, be it for moving around bends or be it for moving over an even surfaces and for example over the top of a hill.
- the radius of the circle to which the shape of the first floor panel is a sector or a shape of is the same radius of the circle to which the shape of the second floor panel is a sector or a segment of.

- the second floor panel is also arranged to rotate about a second axis, which perfectly coincides with the center of the circle to which the shape of the second floor panel is a sector or a segment of.
- the shape of the first floor panel and the shape of the second floor panel is the same. This allows for the gangway floor to be easily arranged in a symmetric manner along the gangway.
- the first floor panel and the second floor panel can be parts of a unitary floor panel, can for example be the end sections of a unitary floor panel. In a preferred embodiment, however, the first floor panel and the second floor panel form part of a multi-part group of elements.
- the first floor panel can be the end part at one end and the second floor panel can be the end part at the opposite end of a group of elements, both floor panels being joined by intermediate elements, arranged between the first floor panel and the second floor panel joining the first floor panel to the second floor panel.

- the rectangular floor panel(s) is/are attached to the second floor panel in a similar hinged connection.
- Attaching the rectangular floor panel(s) to the first floor panel in a hinged manner allows for the first floor panel to be arranged such that it essentially stays in the same plane as a floor of the car of the multi-car vehicle, while the relative position of the rectangular floor panel relative to the first floor panel can allow for misalignment between the first car and the second car, for example if the floor of the first car is in certain driving conditions in a higher plane than the floor of the second car or if the floors of the cars are not in parallel planes, for example if the multi-car vehicle is driving over the tip of a hill.
- These movements are allowed for, if the rectangular floor panel is allowed to swivel about an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the gangway floor.
