Description

Technical area

The invention is in the field of fastening devices for transition profiles of a rail vehicle, and in particular fastening devices for transition profiles between the ground and side wall of a rail vehicle. Furthermore, the invention relates to a kit for a fastening device for securing a transitional profile and a method for mounting a transitional profile between the ground and side wall in a rail vehicle.

Prior art

The transition from the side wall to the floor in the car interior of a rail vehicle is usually provided by a channel cover. For example, this transition is formed by a channel cover whose lower edge is inserted into a floor profile mounted on the floor panel or on the vehicle body shell. The upper edge of the channel cover is placed in a seat carrier profile.

In previous approaches, the seat support profile is positioned during assembly according to the floor at a fixed height on Wagenkastenrohbau. With low tolerances in the floor height compensation in the z-direction by vertical displacement of the seat support profile is possible. Since the soil profile is screwed during assembly on the floor or the vehicle shell, the tolerance compensation in y-direction is guaranteed. A solution with a solid integration of the floor profiles on the floor is not or not fully possible with this approach, however, due to the occurring carriage tolerances of the shell.

In addition, special requirements apply to the interior fitting of a rail vehicle with an aluminum bodyshell structure, in particular as far as the strength of the transition fastening is concerned. In order to avoid costly mounting holes in the aluminum car body, the attachment of the window panels should in principle be done by means of sliding blocks, which are stored in the C-rails located in the Wagenkastenrohbau are. No vertical compensation is possible when positioning the transition profiles. In general, however, a compensation of manufacturing tolerances during assembly is desirable.

From the DE 199 27 003 A1 is a connection of a floor covering in rail vehicles known. By a floating floor construction occurring tolerances of the interior of rail vehicles are compensated and approved a force-reducing relative movement between the permanently mounted on the shell fixtures such as seats, back walls, cabinets, etc. and the floor. In this case, one leg of a hollow-corner profile between the floor and wall in the longitudinal and transverse directions is displaceable and able to accommodate horizontal tolerances of the raw and interior, because it has no fixed connection to the adjacent attachment and installation sections.

The DE 10 2005 020 566 A1 describes an interior fitting for a rail vehicle. The construction described therein is intended to improve the acoustic behavior of rail vehicles. This is realized by a decoupling of required attachment and expansion parts in the interior of the car body.

The DE 43 02 488 C2 shows a floor of a rail vehicle and its side wall connection. A Gießkleberkleber causes the frictional connection of a rigid foam core of the side wall to the upper cover layer of the floor and acts in the car body assembly to compensate for manufacturing tolerances. The document US 2 293 020 A describes a hinge device for a shelf rack in a vehicle. A first pivot member 20 and a second pivot member 22 together form the hinge assembly. At this time, a pivot pin 30 of the first pivot member engages a U-shaped portion of the second pivot member 20. The first pivot member 20 is fixed to the shelf while the second pivot member 22 is fixed to a vehicle wall.

Disadvantages of the prior art

Among the known systems is not a solution in which prefabricated covers are used and the attachment points due to occurring Tolerances can be varied. All current approaches provide for mounting holes to be made for fasteners. As a result, the assembly is complex and expensive. Since an adaptation to the respective present situation is necessary during assembly, the assembly effort is also increased.

problem

It is therefore an object of the present invention, a fastening of a transition from the side wall, for example a window covering, to the floor with to provide integrated floor profiles. It is also desirable that the fastening be done by sliding blocks in the shell side wall and be able to accommodate installation tolerances of the floor level and tolerances in the transverse direction of the car body.

The fastening device further comprises a lower hinge part, which is releasably connectable to the hinge upper part and forms a bearing together with the hinge upper part, in which the transition profile can be rotatably held.

With the approach described above, numerous advantages are achieved in a simple manner. On the one hand is provided by the fastening device according to the invention, a solution for the transition from the side wall to the floor in tolerance-prone car bodies. The fastening device described herein allows adjustment of the transition profile both in the vertical direction and in the vehicle transverse direction. By the hinge effect of the fastening device described herein, the assembly of the transition profiles can be adjusted according to the tolerable mounting dimensions.

On the other hand can be used in the fastening device according to the invention on prefabricated covers without adjustments during assembly, for example, by additional holes would be necessary. The attachment points of the fastening device according to the invention can be varied according to the tolerances occurring due to the design. This can be extra the tolerances occurring holes are avoided during assembly. Another advantage is that integrated floor profiles can be used despite flexible installation.

For example, the hinge holder can be releasably fastened to C-rails integrated in the vehicle body shell by means of sliding blocks and screw connections. As a result, the possibility of shifting in the vehicle longitudinal direction is given at the same time.

In one embodiment of the invention, the fastening device comprises a hinge holder, which has a receptacle, in particular a wedge-shaped receptacle, for holding the hinge upper part, wherein the receptacle allows a displacement of the hinge upper part relative to the hinge holder. The hinge holder may be used, for example, on the vehicle body shell, i. on the car body shell, be fastened. In embodiments where a hinge holder is provided, the hinge top can be held by the hinge holder. By this configuration, the assembly of the transition profile is facilitated. In addition, the assembly can be made flexible by the allowed displacement of the hinge upper part relative to the hinge holder. At the same time, in particular, a wedge-shaped receptacle offers the possibility of producing the components of the fastening device according to the invention simply and inexpensively.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the hinge holder may have a stop for limiting the relative movement between the hinge upper part and the hinge holder. In one embodiment, the receptacle of the hinge upper part and a receptacle of the floor profile for the transition profile provide parallel displacement paths. By the stop, the transitional profile and the hinge shell can now be defined to better stop moves and lowered again after inserting the transitional profile in the part-circular recess of the hinge shell. In this case, the displacement of the hinge upper part (eg after displacement to the stop) allows the insertion of the transition profile in the recording of the soil profile, in particular without losing the alignment on the hinge holder. In particular, while the displacement of the recording of the soil profile offers a tolerance compensation. As a result, the assembly with high flexibility can be carried out safely, reliably and accurately. For example, does not fall through the stop the hinge upper part in the assembly of the transition profile from the guide, which through the Receiving the hinge holder is provided. In addition, costs are saved by the safe installation, since the installation is less error-prone.

The invention also includes an embodiment in which the hinge upper part has a recess on its underside, which, viewed in cross-section, comprises a part-circular region into which an upper edge of the transitional profile, which has an approximately circular or circular segment-shaped cross section, can be supported. As a result of this configuration, the rotation-permitting mounting of the transitional profile is provided in a simple and cost-effective manner. The part-circular region can be formed for example by a semicircular in cross-section recess, which forms a longitudinal groove on the underside of the hinge upper part.

According to one embodiment, the lower hinge part has a recess which, viewed in cross-section, comprises a part-circular region, the recess of the hinge upper part and the recess of the hinge lower part together forming the bearing for the transitional profile, which has at least a semicircular, in particular a three-quarter circular, cross-section. This embodiment also allows a cost-effective shaping of the bearing in the fastening device according to the invention. In addition, the assembly by the provision of the bearing through the hinge upper part and the hinge base is easy to perform. The storage of the transition profile by the two-part form provides a high degree of security. For example, the recess in the lower hinge part may be an end-face fold with a quarter-circle-shaped transition or a half-hollow throat on the front side. Typically, the recess in the lower hinge part, seen in cross section, has the same radius of curvature as the recess in the hinge upper part, so that both recesses together form a bearing with a uniform radius of curvature.

In one embodiment of the invention, the hinge upper part has a stop surface. The hinge base can be connected in this embodiment with a cover, with which a plate-shaped side wall covering element can be pressed against the stop surface of the hinge shell. By connecting the hinge base with a cover profile two functions are provided by the assembly of a component, here cover profile with hinge base. The stop surface of the hinge shell also offers the possibility of simple and uncomplicated installation. By clamping the side wall lining element against the abutment surface of the hinge shell and the subsequent partial coverage by cover profile is also guaranteed an attractive appearance. Therefore, another advantage of the fastening device according to the invention is the design improvement by not visible fasteners. Hinge base and cover profile can also be integrally formed.

In a further embodiment, the cover profile has a plurality of hinge bases in the form of individual approaches which extend approximately at right angles from the cover profile and which can be inserted for securing the transition profile through respective recesses of the transitional profile. This embodiment allows a cost-effective and practical realization of the two functions cover and storage by a component. The material costs are reduced by the fact that only at defined intervals, a hinge base is provided, while the cover extends over the entire length.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the hinge holder has a groove into which a front edge or end face of the lower hinge part can be inserted to thereby prevent movement of the upper hinge part perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the groove when the lower hinge part is connected to the hinge upper part. This ensures safe installation and function after assembly, while saving costs and installation time due to the simple design.

In one embodiment of the invention, the hinge holder has elongated holes. The elongated holes in the hinge holder allow vertical adjustment of the hinge holder on the vehicle body shell and accordingly an adaptation to tolerances in the vehicle body shell, without having to perform additional drilling.

Furthermore, the rail vehicle carriage comprises a fastening device as described above, wherein the hinge upper part is fixed to the vehicle body shell, and wherein an upper end of the transitional profile is rotatably supported in the bearing formed between the hinge upper part and the lower hinge part connected to the hinge upper part.

According to one embodiment, the hinge holder of the fastening device is fastened to the vehicle body shell by means of screw connections which pass through elongated holes of the hinge holder. Thereby, a detachable connection can be provided by a simple and secure installation.

The invention also encompasses an embodiment in which the floor of the rail vehicle has an end profile or floor profile, and the transition profile has an end profile at its end facing the floor, wherein the floor side end profile engages in the transition profile side end profile and both end profiles are mutually displaceable. The interlocking of the end profiles makes it possible to attach the transition profile to the floor. The inventive design, which allows a displacement of the end profiles against each other, simplifies the assembly and adaptation to individually occurring tolerances in the rail vehicle.

In accordance with one aspect of the invention, there is provided a fastener assembly kit for securing a transitional profile in the interior of a rail vehicle. The kit comprises a hinge holder which can be fastened to the vehicle body shell of the rail vehicle; a hinge top that can be held by the hinge holder; and a cover profile having at least one hinge base, wherein the hinge holder has a receptacle for the cover to releasably lock the cover to the hinge holder. The cover profile is releasably connectable by the lower hinge part with the hinge upper part and the lower hinge part forms in the assembled state together with the hinge upper part a bearing in which the transition profile can be rotatably supported.

According to one embodiment, the hinge upper part has on its underside a recess which, seen in cross-section, comprises a part-circular region into which an upper edge of the transitional profile, which has an approximately circular cross-section, can be mounted. In particular, the lower hinge part has a recess which, seen in cross-section, comprises a part-circular region, wherein the recess of the hinge upper part and the recess of the hinge lower part together form the bearing for the transitional profile, which has at least a semicircular, in particular a three-quarter circular, cross-section. Thereby, the rotatable mounting of the transition profile can be realized easily and inexpensively. None additional parts are necessary at the transitional profile to provide the function of storage.

In one embodiment of the kit according to the invention, the kit further comprises a transitional profile, wherein the transition profile has a recess for the passage of at least a portion of the lower hinge part. This recess is formed, for example, immediately below a cross-sectionally circular upper edge of the transitional profile, e.g. in the form of a longitudinal slot. The upper edge can then form a full circle in this area, seen in cross-section. Typically, the front side or front edge of the lower hinge part is inserted through the recess of the transition profile until the recess in the lower hinge part rests against the underside of the upper edge. As a result, the hinge base and the transition profile are easily connected to each other and set the transition profile to a predetermined extent.

According to one aspect of the invention, there is provided a method of mounting a transitional profile in the interior of a rail vehicle, the rail vehicle comprising a sidewall and a floor profile or end profile integrated in the floor of the rail vehicle. The method comprises: attaching a vertically height-adjustable hinge bracket to the sidewall of the rail vehicle; Attaching a hinge shell with a substantially part-circular recess on a receptacle of the hinge holder; Inserting a first end of the transition profile in the substantially part-circular recess of the hinge shell; Inserting a second end of the transitional profile into the floor profile integrated in the floor; Inserting a hinge base into the hinge holder by passing at least a portion of the hinge base through the transition profile; and securing the hinge base to the hinge top.

The method according to the invention may further comprise, before inserting the second end of the transitional profile into the soil profile: moving the transitional profile and the hinge top to maximally the stop of the hinge holder, and lowering the transitional profile and the hinge top to at most fully engage the receptacle of the hinge holder in the Recess of the hinge shell. The lowering can be done simultaneously with the insertion of the second end of the transition profile in the soil profile. This can be a safe and repeatable exact mounting without the need for additional aids, such as measuring or alignment instruments.

The invention can be used wherever a transitional profile between two elements is needed. In particular, the fastening device according to the invention can be used for transitional profiles which are to be used for a vehicle body shell made of aluminum and / or which are to be fastened with integrated floor profiles.

embodiments

Hereinafter, a fastening device for fixing a transition profile in the car interior of a rail vehicle will be described. The transitional profile specifically described here and the fastening device provided for this purpose can be used for example between the bottom and side wall of a car body of a rail vehicle. Although reference will be made hereafter to such a transitional profile, other profiles not described herein may also be attached to the fastening device according to embodiments of the invention and their advantages utilized, such as the flexibility with respect to the manufacturing tolerances of the car body. For example, it is conceivable that a profile between the carriage ceiling and the side wall is fastened analogously to the embodiments described herein.

Generally, in the following description, like parts will be described by the same reference numerals.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the fastening device 100. The fastening device 100 comprises a hinge holder 1, which is fastened by means of sliding block 13 to the vehicle body shell (car body shell) 14. For example, the hinge holder 1 may be fastened to the sliding block 13 by means of screws. A detail view of the fastening device 100 is shown in FIG FIG. 2 shown. The hinge holder 1 comprises in one embodiment a receptacle 2 to receive a hinge top 3 and at least partially hold. Further details of the hinge holder 1 are in relation to the FIG. 5a described in more detail below. The hinge upper part 3 is in the assembled representation of FIG. 1 arranged in the receptacle 2 of the hinge holder 1. Also, a hinge base 7 is The groove 9 is designed such that it prevents movement of the hinge lower part 7 perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the groove 9 and that the Hinge lower part 7 is fixed in the vertical direction. When the lower hinge part 7 is connected to the hinge upper part 3, the groove 9 also prevents a substantially vertical movement of the hinge upper part 3.

In the hinge upper part 3 and the lower hinge part 7, the transitional profile 5 is rotatably mounted on the upper edge 6 (or on the upper edge). In the in FIG. 1 As shown, the rotatability is achieved by a corresponding shaping of the hinge upper part 3, the lower hinge part 7, as well as the transition profile 5. In the example shown, the hinge upper part 3 has a substantially semicircular recess 4 and the hinge bottom part 7 has a substantially four-circle-shaped recess 8, while the upper edge (upper edge) 6 of the transition profile 5 is substantially circular, or at least circular segment-shaped. The arrow around the transition profile 5 in FIG. 2 indicates the rotatability of the profile 5 in the fastening device 100.

The term "substantially" before an attribute refers to the situation where some deviation from the attribute so designated is included. For example, the recess 4 may be substantially semicircular. This means that some deviation from the semicircular shape is also possible and included. The semicircular shape may, in one example, deviate by a few degrees from a complete semicircle, or the circular shape may be subject to certain tolerances. The person skilled in the art will be able to apply these examples accordingly to other attributes that are described as "substantially".

The lower hinge part 7 has a substantially vierilkreisförmige recess 8 for receiving the upper edge 6 of the transition profile 5. The lower hinge part 7 is not only mounted in the groove 9 of the hinge holder 1, but also attached to the hinge upper part 3. In addition, in the in FIG. 1 shown at least a portion of the hinge base 7 inserted through a recess of the transition profile 5, which in the sectional view of FIG. 1 is recognizable, but will be explained later in more detail.

The hinge base 7 is still connected in one embodiment with a cover profile 710, which can fix, for example, a window covering part 17 between the hinge upper part 3 and lower hinge part 7. For example, that can Window covering part 17 between the upper hinge part 3 and the covering 710 be clamped.

The lower part of the transition profile 5 is in the in FIG. 1 Example shown equipped with a fork-shaped end 15, which is in operative connection with an integrated floor in the floor profile 16 or end profile of the floor 30. Due to the inventive design of the transition profile in conjunction with the described embodiment of the soil profile, it is possible to compensate for height tolerances of the floor. By means of the operative connection between the circular edge (upper edge) 6 on the one hand and the hinge upper part 3 and the hinge base 7 on the other hand, rotatably mounted transition profile 5 tolerances in the transverse direction of the car body can be compensated in the fastening device according to embodiments of the invention. In addition, in one embodiment, the receptacle 2 of the hinge shell and the inclusion of the bottom profile 16 can provide parallel displacement paths for the transitional profile 5. This represents a possibility of tolerance compensation in the fastening device according to the invention.

The FIG. 3 shows a further embodiment of the invention described herein. The fastening device 200 comprises substantially the same elements 1, 3, 14 and 17, as already in FIG. 1 described. In FIG. 3 is, as well as in FIG. 1 , a fastening element 11 (a screw in the example shown), which releasably connects the lower hinge part 7 with the upper hinge part 3. However, the transition profile 250 differs from that in FIG FIG. 1 shown transition profile 5 by its shape and the course from the wall to the bottom of the rail vehicle. Compared to FIG. 1 It can be seen that the vehicle body shell 14 takes another, namely running obliquely from the wall to the soil profile course. In the in FIG. 3 As shown, the transitional profile 250 substantially follows the course of the vehicle body shell at a distance, ie substantially parallel thereto. The shape of the transitional profile 250 may be adapted accordingly so that the upper edge of the transitional profile can be inserted into and rotatably mounted therein, while the lower edge of the transitional profile can be disposed on the floor 230 in the floor profile, as described above.

Due to the shape of the transition profile, stabilization by means of static support 220 may be desirable in order to increase the stability and robustness of the structure To support transition profiles. In the in FIG. 3 As shown, the supporting device 220 is supported on the vehicle body shell 14 and adapted by cork shims 210 to the conditions in the car interior. In addition, this results in a damping and acoustic decoupling.

FIG. 4 shows a fastening device 300 and a transitional profile 350, which is adapted to the course of the vehicle body 14. Essentially, the fastening device 300 comprises the same components as already described in FIGS FIGS. 1 and 3 described. Compared to the in FIG. 3 As shown, the transitional profile 350 comes without static support on the vehicle body 14 from. For example, the shape, material or construction of the transition profile (such as its thickness) may be selected such that static support is not necessary. The lower end of the transition profile 350 engages, as described above, in the bottom profile of the floor 330 and is supported in this example also in it.

FIG. 5a shows a detail view of a hinge holder 1 in a 3-dimensional view. The hinge holder 1 comprises elongated holes 12, which serve for fastening the hinge holder 1 to the vehicle body shell and allow a vertical adjustment, and thus a tolerance compensation in the vertical direction. In addition, in the example shown, the hinge holder 1 comprises a wedge-shaped receptacle 2, which can receive the hinge upper part. In this case, the receptacle 2 may be formed such that a displacement of the hinge upper part relative to the hinge holder 1 is made possible. This is helpful, for example, during assembly, as the lower end of the transitional profile can be flexibly and easily fitted into the floor profile, while the wedge-shaped seat provides some guidance and prevents the transitional profile applied to the hinge top from being pushed out of storage. A stop 25 limits the vertical movement of the hinge shell and thus ensures a precise assembly.

The receptacle 2 can be formed for example by a parallel to the rear plate of the hinge holder 1 extending approach with a tapering to its free end cross-section. The approach may be integrally connected by a cross bar with the back plate of the hinge holder 1.

The hinge holder 1, as in the FIG. 5a is shown by way of example, further comprises a groove 9, which forms a receptacle for the hinge base 7. It can the groove 9 may be adapted to the size of the hinge base 7 in order to ensure a good support of the hinge base 7 in the hinge holder 1. The groove 9 also serves to block a movement of the lower hinge part (and, if connected, also the hinge upper part) perpendicular to the groove longitudinal axis.

The groove 9 may for example be formed between the cross bar below the receptacle 2 forming approach and a parallel to this transverse bar further transverse bar.

The FIGS. 5b and 5c show a 3-dimensional detail of a hinge shell 3 according to embodiments of the invention. The hinge upper part 3 has in the example shown a groove 20 which may be wedge-shaped to fit with the wedge-shaped receptacle 2 of the hinge holder 1 together and to form a surface closure in the mounted state. Accordingly, the hinge upper 3 can be attached to the hinge holder 1 by means of a receptacle 2 of the hinge holder 1 and the groove 20 of the hinge upper 3. The opposite configuration of the wedge shape of groove 20 and receptacle 2 leads to a self-blockade when placing the hinge upper part 3 on the receptacle 2 while allowing lateral displacement of these two elements to each other.

The FIGS. 5b and 5c also show a recess 4, which seen in cross-section comprises a part-circular area (for example, a semi-circular area) in which the upper edge 6 of the transition profile 5 can be rotatably supported. For this purpose, the transitional profile may have a (partially) circular upper edge which fits into the recess 4 such that a rotatable mounting of the transitional profile 5 in the hinge upper part 3 (or in the hinge formed from the hinge upper part and the hinge lower part) is made possible. The hinge upper part may also have a stop surface 21, to which a side wall cladding element can be applied. Returning to FIG. 2 For example, it can be seen that the sidewall cladding element 17 is pressed against the abutment surface 21 of the hinge top 3, which may be done, for example, by a cover profile (as further explained below) connected to the hinge base 7.

FIG. 6a shows a 3-dimensional detail view of an example of a transitional profile 5, which by means of a fastening device according to embodiments of the Invention can be attached to the vehicle body. This in FIG. 6a Transition profile 5 shown comprises a first end at the upper edge and a second end at the lower edge. In between, the transitional profile 5 has a substantially vertical section. It should be understood, however, that the transitional profile 5 can take other forms, for example, forms that are described in the Figures 3 and 4 are shown, or other, suitable for the purpose and the respective rail vehicle forms. In the upper view of the FIG. 6a is the lower end of the transition profile with the fork-shaped training to see.

Furthermore, the illustrated embodiment of the transition profile 5 comprises a recess 10 which is disposed at the upper end of the transition profile 5 immediately below the upper edge 6 here circular. This recess 10 can accommodate at least a portion of the hinge base 7, as shown below.

An embodiment of a hinge base 3, as it can be used in a fastening device according to embodiments of the invention is in FIG. 6b shown. The hinge base 7 is connected to a cover profile 710. The hinge base 7 can, for example, with the transition profile 5 in FIG. 6a be connected by the hinge base 7 is at least partially inserted into the recess 10 of the transition profile. A method for mounting the fastening device according to the invention is described in detail below. The cover profile 710, with which the hinge base 7 is firmly connected in this example, can serve, for example, to cover the transition to a side wall paneling element. The side wall cladding element can, as in relation to the Figures 2 . 5b and 5c described, against the stop surface 21 of the hinge upper part 3, for example, by the cover 710, are pressed. In other words, the side wall covering element 17 can be clamped between the abutment surface 21 of the hinge upper part 3 and the cover profile 710.

FIG. 7 shows an example of the attachment of the transition profile 5 at the bottom 30 of the rail vehicle. The bottom 30 in this case has a bottom profile 16 or end profile, which is designed to receive the lower end 15 of the transition profile 5. The bottom profile may have by a vote with the receptacle 2 of the hinge shell a displacement for the transitional profile, which is parallel to the provided by the receptacle 2 of the Sharp upper shell displacement. The transitional profile 5 is in the in FIG. 7 example shown equipped with a fork-shaped end 15 which engages in the receptacle of the bottom profile 16. As a result, a vertical adaptation to manufacturing tolerances of the rail vehicle is possible. In addition, the position of the transition profile 5 in the transverse direction can be influenced to some extent by the use in the bottom profile 16.

The FIGS. 8a to 8h show an example of a mounting method of a fastening device for a transitional profile according to embodiments of the invention. FIG. 8a shows a side wall 14 of a vehicle body shell and a hinge holder 1. Through the slots can - as indicated by the arrow - the vertical position of the hinge holder 1 are adapted to the local conditions and tolerances. By screws, the hinge holder can be fixed in the desired position on the side wall of the vehicle body. The hinge holder 1 can, as in FIG. 8a shown to be a hinge holder, as described above. For example, the hinge holder 1 includes a wedge-shaped receptacle 2 for receiving the hinge upper 3. The hinge upper part 3 comprises a groove to engage in the receptacle and to produce a displaceable connection between the hinge holder 1 and the hinge upper part 3.

To insert the hinge upper part 3 in the hinge holder 1, the hinge upper part 3 is tilted slightly and tilted with its groove 20 behind the receptacle 2 and then lowered.

In the FIG. 8b a side wall covering element 17 is applied to the abutment surface 21 of the hinge upper part 3. The sidewall covering element 17 may, for example, also be a window covering part.

In FIG. 8c the transition profile 5 in the hinge upper part, in particular in the part-circular recess 4, inserted. In this case, the hinge upper part 3 can be moved up to the stop 25 in the vertical direction upwards in order to simplify the assembly. Both the wedge-shaped receptacle 2 of the hinge holder 1 and the groove 20 of the hinge upper part are designed for this and allow the vertical displacement relative to each other. The stop 25 prevents the hinge upper part 3 is lifted over the upper edge of the receptacle 2. Thus, the wall of the groove 20 of the hinge upper part 3 securely engages behind the receptacle 2 and secures the hinge upper part 3 in the not yet attached state during assembly against falling down. In the following step, as in FIG. 8d can be seen, the lower end of the transition profile 5 placed in the soil profile. In this case, according to an embodiment of the fastening device according to the invention, it is advantageous if the displacement paths of the receptacle 2 of the hinge upper part 3 and of the receptacle in the bottom profile 16 run parallel to one another. This in FIG. 8d Example shown corresponds to the in FIG. 7 shown situation. The transitional profile 5 has a fork-shaped end 15 which engages in a bottom profile 16. This construction also allows vertical displacement. After insertion of the forked end 15 in the bottom profile, or at the same time, the transition profile 5 and the hinge upper part 3 can be lowered to a maximum for full engagement of the receptacle 2 of the hinge holder 1 in the recess 20 of the hinge upper part 3. The FIG. 8e shows the lower end 15 of the transition profile 5 inserted into the bottom profile 16th

In the FIG. 8f the hinge upper part 3 is again shown in the lowered state after insertion of the second end of the transitional profile in the soil profile. As in FIG. 8f shown by the arrow, the transitional profile 5 can be rotated or pivoted with the upper end 6 at least during assembly in the storage 4. In this case, the transition profile 5 is pivoted about the axis at the upper end 6. The recess 4 of the hinge upper part 3 serves as a bearing.

In the Figure 8g the hinge base 7 is inserted into the recess of the transition profile, as for example as a recess 10 in FIG. 6a is shown. The cover profile 710 presses the side wall covering element 17 against the stop surface 17 of the hinge upper part 3. In this case, the side wall covering element 17 is clamped and held. The lower hinge part 7 is now on the hinge upper part 3, that the recesses of the hinge upper part and the hinge base form a bearing in which the upper end 6 of the transition profile 5 is located. In one example, the transitional profile 5, which is mounted in the hinge base 7 and the hinge upper part 3, can be rotated or at least pivoted.

FIG. 8h shows the fastening of the hinge upper part 3 with the hinge base 7 with cover profile by means of screw 11. This allows the transition profile to be set to a certain extent in the position.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a kit for a fastening device for mounting a transitional profile is provided. The kit contains the components hinge holder 1, hinge shell 3, and a cover, which has at least one lower hinge part 7. According to the invention, the hinge holder can have a receptacle for the covering profile in order to detachably fasten the covering profile to the hinge holder. In addition, the cover profile is releasably connectable by the lower hinge part 7 with the hinge upper part 3 (as described above, for example). The hinge base 7 can also form a bearing in the assembled state together with the hinge upper part 3, in which the transition profile 5 can be rotatably supported. According to embodiments of the invention, the components of the kit may have the above-described features, as for example in the FIGS. 1, 2 . 3 . 4 . 5a-c . 6a-b . 7 and 8a-h are described.

In addition, in one example, the kit may include a transitional profile that may be secured by the kit as described above and may include other features as described above, such as a recess 10 for inserting at least a portion of the hinge base.

An example of a method for mounting a transition profile by means of fastening device according to the invention has already been described above with reference to FIGS FIGS. 8a to 8h described. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the components used in the method described herein may correspond to and, in particular, have the features of the components of the inventive fastening device described above.

By the embodiments described above, it is possible to ensure a simple and safe installation for a transitional profile, which can compensate for tolerances of the rail vehicle. In previous approaches, additional drilling must be made to compensate for tolerances of the rail vehicle. In particular, by the present invention, the specific requirements of a vehicle body made of aluminum can be taken into account and a reliable construction can be provided.

The above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined with each other. While specific embodiments are illustrated herein and It is within the scope of the present invention to suitably modify the illustrated embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention.
