Abstract

A vehicle door leaf frame, in particular a rail vehicle door leaf frame, preferably for an inwardly opening vehicle door leaf for an entry door. The vehicle door leaf frame has a plurality of, in particular precisely four, hollow frame profiles constituting the actual vehicle door leaf frame. The hollow frame profiles are produced from a plurality of, in particular precisely two, different hollow profiles. In an alternative embodiment, a vehicle door leaf, in particular a rail vehicle door leaf, preferably an inwardly opening vehicle door leaf for an entry door, has a vehicle door leaf frame and is itself pressure-tight and/or water-tight.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A rail vehicle door leaf frame, comprising:
precisely four frame hollow profiles forming the rail vehicle door leaf frame;
said frame hollow profiles being manufactured from precisely two different hollow profiles;
said frame hollow profiles which meet one another in a corner region of the rail vehicle door leaf frame are plugged into one another;
said frame hollow profiles which meet one another are riveted or screwed to one another in said corner region of the rail vehicle door leaf frame, with a result that a joining method functional principle thereof is based on doubling up of sheet metal;
said frame hollow profiles having precisely two inner frame hollow profiles and precisely two outer frame hollow profiles;
said inner frame hollow profiles being of substantially identical configuration;
said outer frame hollow profiles being of substantially identical configuration;
plug-on seals containing a window seal and door seals including a rear door seal and a front door seal;
two of said frame hollow profiles which meet have a radius in said corner region of the rail vehicle door leaf frame;
said radius serving as a plug-in lug for one of said plug-on seals;
said outer frame hollow profiles have a radii for at least one of the door seals;
all of said frame hollow profiles in regions which meet one another constitute a radii for said window seal;
said frame hollow profiles have radially outer and front profile webs, all of said radially outer and front profile webs have a substantially completely circumferential seal edge for said front door seal;
said frame hollow profiles have radially outer and rear profile webs and all of said radially outer and rear profile webs have a substantially completely circumferential seal edge for said rear door seal;
said frame hollow profiles have radially inner and front profile limbs and all of said radially inner and front profile limbs have a substantially completely circumferential seal edge for said window seal;
said frame hollow profiles have seal edges including at least one outer and at least one inner seal edge with a grooving formed therein; and
said seal edges which meet one another of said frame hollow profiles are substantially flush in a circumferential direction of the rail vehicle door leaf frame.

2. The vehicle door leaf frame according to claim 1 , wherein:
said two outer frame hollow profiles each having two side walls;
said two inner frame hollow profiles each having a base profile with a longitudinal end section being received between said two side walls of one of said outer frame hollow profiles;
said frame hollow profiles have profile webs which meet one another and/or profile limbs which meet one another and are substantially flush in the circumferential direction of the rail vehicle door leaf frame; and
said profile webs which meet one another and/or said profile limbs which meet one another of said frame hollow profiles which meet one another are fitted in a mechanical contact region.

3. A rail vehicle door leaf, comprising:
a rail vehicle door leaf frame, containing:
precisely four frame hollow profiles forming said rail vehicle door leaf frame;
said frame hollow profiles being manufactured from precisely two different hollow profiles;
said frame hollow profiles which meet one another in a corner region of said rail vehicle door leaf frame are plugged into one another;
said frame hollow profiles which meet one another are riveted or screwed to one another in said corner region of said rail vehicle door leaf frame, with a result that a joining method functional principle thereof is based on doubling up of sheet metal;
said frame hollow profiles having precisely two inner frame hollow profiles and precisely two outer frame hollow profiles;
said inner frame hollow profiles being of substantially identical configuration;
said outer frame hollow profiles being of substantially identical configuration;
plug-on seals containing a window seal and door seals including a rear door seal and a front door seal;
two of said frame hollow profiles which meet have a radius in said corner region of said vehicle door leaf frame;
said radius serving as a plug-in lug for one of said plug-on seals;
said outer frame hollow profiles have a radii for at least one of said door seals;
all of said frame hollow profiles in regions which meet one another constitute a radii for said window seal;
said frame hollow profiles have radially outer and front profile webs, all of said radially outer and front profile webs have a substantially completely circumferential seal edge for said front door seal;
said frame hollow profiles have radially outer and rear profile webs and all of said radially outer and rear profile webs have a substantially completely circumferential seal edge for said rear door seal;
said frame hollow profiles have radially inner and front profile limbs and all of said radially inner and front profile limbs have a substantially completely circumferential seal edge for said window seal;
said frame hollow profiles have seal edges including at least one outer and at least one inner seal edge with a grooving formed therein; and
said seal edges which meet one another of said frame hollow profiles are substantially flush in a circumferential direction of said rail vehicle door leaf frame.

4. The vehicle door leaf according to claim 3 , further comprising:
a thrust plate disposed at least on one side of the vehicle door leaf; and
a center strut disposed at least on one side of the vehicle door leaf, said thrust plate and said center strut being set up between said outer frame hollow profiles, being vertical frame hollow profiles, of said rail vehicle door leaf frame.

5. The vehicle door leaf according to claim 4 ,
wherein said thrust plate and said center strut are riveted or screwed to one of said frame hollow profiles at least on one side of the vehicle door leaf, with a result that a joining method functional principle thereof is based on doubling up of sheet metal;
further comprising a sealing compound disposed between said thrust plate and said center strut and at least one of said frame hollow profiles;
wherein said thrust plate, said center strut and said at least one frame hollow profile are coated;
wherein said center strut is riveted or screwed to said thrust plate, with a result that a joining method functional principle thereof is based on doubling up of sheet metal;
wherein said center strut is configured in one piece with said thrust plate;
wherein said sealing compound is disposed between said thrust plate and said center strut; and
wherein said rail vehicle door leaf frame itself is of a pressure-tight and a water-tight configuration.

6. A rail vehicle, comprising:
a rail vehicle door leaf frame configured according to claim 1 .

7. A rail vehicle, comprising:
a rail vehicle door leaf according to claim 3 .
