Abstract

A customer-specific vehicle door leaf, in particular a customer-specific rail-vehicle door leaf, preferably an inwardly opening customer-specific vehicle door leaf for an entry door. The door leaf includes a panel and a general vehicle door leaf, wherein the general vehicle door leaf preferably has a supporting vehicle door leaf frame, and the general vehicle door leaf itself is pressure-tight and/or waterproof, and the panel is provided on the vehicle door leaf frame.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A customer-specific rail vehicle door leaf for an access door, the vehicle door leaf comprising:
a general vehicle door leaf having a load-bearing vehicle door leaf frame and being pressure-tight and water-tight, with said vehicle door leaf frame itself having a pressure-tight and water-tight configuration;
said vehicle door leaf frame being formed of four frame hollow profiles constituting said vehicle door leaf frame, said frame hollow profiles being produced from two different hollow profiles;
said general vehicle door leaf being configured as a completely functional vehicle door leaf and having a stowage shaft window including a mechanism, a plug-on seal, an interior trim panel, a bearing device, and a recess for a lock device;
an exterior panel mounted on an outside of said general vehicle door leaf or of said vehicle door leaf frame;
a mechanical connection of said panel to said general vehicle door leaf or to said vehicle door leaf frame being a simply releasable configuration, enabling said panel to be dismantled from said general vehicle door leaf without damage to, or destruction of, a part of said general vehicle door leaf that is connected to said panel; and
said interior trim panel mounted to said general vehicle door leaf.

2. The vehicle door leaf according to claim 1 , wherein:
said exterior panel is fastened by screwing or plugging to said general vehicle door leaf or said vehicle door leaf frame; or
a thermal insulation is disposed between said panel and said general vehicle door leaf or said vehicle door leaf frame, or
said panel is an aluminum sandwich panel or a glass fiber reinforced polymer panel.

3. The vehicle door leaf according to claim 1 ,
wherein:
frame hollow profiles which relate to one another are plugged or fitted into one another in a corner region of said vehicle door leaf frame;
frame hollow profiles which relate to one another are riveted, screwed or welded to one another in the corner region of the vehicle door leaf frame; and
seal edges which relate to one another of frame hollow profiles which relate to one another are substantially flush in a circumferential direction of said vehicle door leaf frame.

4. The vehicle door leaf according to claim 1 , wherein said panel:
is formed to cover a corner region of said vehicle door leaf frame;
has a cut-out in a window region of the vehicle door leaf; and/or
is formed to cover substantially an entire said general vehicle door leaf on an outer side.

5. The vehicle door leaf according to claim 3 , wherein:
said frame hollow profiles comprise two inner frame hollow profiles and two outer frame hollow profiles;
said inner frame hollow profiles are of mutually identical configuration; and
said outer frame hollow profiles are of mutually identical configuration.

6. The vehicle door leaf according to claim 5 , wherein:
a longitudinal end section of a base profile of an inner frame hollow profile is received between two side walls of an outer frame hollow profile;
profile webs which relate to one another or profile limbs which relate to one another of said frame hollow profiles are flush in the circumferential direction of said vehicle door leaf frame; or
profile webs which relate to one another or profile limbs which relate to one another of said frame hollow profiles which relate to one another are fitted in a mechanical contact region.

7. The vehicle door leaf according to claim 1 ,
wherein:
said general vehicle door leaf has a thrust plate at least on one side and a center strut at least on one side;
said thrust plate and said center strut are set up between said vertical frame hollow profiles of said vehicle door leaf frame.

8. The vehicle door leaf according to claim 7 ,
wherein:
said thrust plate and said center strut are riveted or screwed to a frame hollow profile at least on one side;
sealing compound is disposed between said thrust plate and said center strut and at least one frame hollow profile;
said thrust plate and said center strut and at least one frame hollow profile are coated;
said center strut is riveted or screwed to said thrust plate; or
sealing compound is disposed between the thrust plate and the center strut.

9. A rail vehicle, comprising a vehicle cab or car body including a customer-specific vehicle door leaf according to claim 1 .
