Abstract

A vehicle body, in particular a rail vehicle body, includes at least one body shell profile and at least one interior fitting connected to the body shell profile. The interior fitting is held on the body shell profile by at least one fastening element which is slipped or pushed onto the body shell profile using a clip section and clamped there.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A vehicle body or a rail vehicle body, comprising:
at least one interior fitting;
at least one body shell profile having a side facing said at least one interior fitting and a side facing away from said at least one interior fitting; and
at least one fastening element holding and connecting said at least one interior fitting on said at least one body shell profile;
said at least one fastening element having a clip section slipped onto said at least one body shell profile and clamping said at least one fastening element onto said at least one body shell profile;
said clip section having a first internal clip surface resting in planar manner on said side of said at least one body shell profile facing said at least one interior fitting;
said clip section having a second internal clip surface disposed opposite said first internal clip surface and resting in a punctiform or linear manner on said side of said at least one body shell profile facing away from said at least one interior fitting.

2. The vehicle body according to claim 1 , wherein said second internal clip surface and said at least one body shell profile form a bearing edge.

3. The vehicle body according to claim 1 , wherein:
said clip section has a first clip end resting on said side of said at least one body shell profile facing said at least one interior fitting; and
said clip section has a second clip end resting on said side of said at least one body shell profile facing away from said at least one interior fitting and said second clip end is bent away from said at least one body shell profile.

4. The vehicle body according to claim 1 , wherein said clip section provides a clamping force, and said at least one fastening element is held on said at least one body shell profile solely by said clamping force.

5. A vehicle body or a rail vehicle body, comprising:
at least one body shell profile having a periphery, a planar plate section adjoining said periphery and defining a plane and a bent section being separated from said periphery by said planar plate section and being bent away from said plane of said planar plate section;
at least one interior fitting; and
at least one fastening element holding and connecting said at least one interior fitting on said at least one body shell profile;
said at least one fastening element having a clip section slipped onto said at least one body shell profile, enclosing and clamping said periphery of said at least one body shell profile and clamping said at least one fastening element onto said at least one body shell profile, said clip section having a first clip end and a second clip end, and said first clip end being bent and resting on said bent section of said at least one body shell profile in a planar manner.

6. A vehicle body or a rail vehicle body, comprising:
at least one body shell profile;
a clamping plate;
at least one interior fitting;
at least one fastening element holding and connecting said at least one interior fitting on said at least one body shell profile, said at least one fastening element having a bearing plate on which said at least one interior fitting rests;
said at least one fastening element having a clip section slipped onto said at least one body shell profile and clamping said at least one fastening element onto said at least one body shell profile;
a spacer element interconnecting said bearing plate and said clip section;
said at least one interior fitting being clamped between said bearing plate and said clamping plate;
at least one of said bearing plate or said spacer element having a thread formed therein; and
a screw screwed into said thread.

7. The vehicle body according to claim 6 , wherein said at least one interior fitting forms a covering part of the vehicle body.

8. The vehicle body according to claim 6 , wherein said screw, said clamping plate and at least one of said bearing plate or said spacer element are screwed to one another.
