Abstract

A rail vehicle has a internal tank installed. A connection opening is provided on a base of the tank into which a tank closure can be inserted from the outside of the tank. The tank closure is mounted on an inner side of an unfolding, sack-shaped container, and an edge of the sack-shaped container is attached to a shaft which lies beneath the tank, in the base of the rail vehicle.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A rail vehicle, comprising:
a rail vehicle base;
an inner tank having a tank base and a connection opening formed therein;
an unfoldable container having an inner side;
a shaft disposed below said inner tank and supported by said rail vehicle base;
a cover, said shaft in said rail vehicle base being closed at a side thereof facing a rail track by said cover; and
a tank closure closing off said connection opening, said tank closure being inserted from an outer side of said inner tank for closing off said connection opening, said tank closure being fitted to said inner side of said unfoldable container and an edge of said unfoldable container being releasably connected to said shaft.

2. The rail vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein said tank closure has a tool receiving member for releasing said tank closure from said connection opening of said inner tank.

3. The rail vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein said tank closure can be secured in said connection opening of said inner tank using a rapid-action closure.

4. The rail vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising a binding device disposed at an outer side of said shaft, said binding device serving to close said unfoldable container.

5. The rail vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein said unfoldable container is water-tight and high-strength.

6. The rail vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising flow barriers disposed on said rail vehicle base, said flow barriers are disposed at an outer side of a face which is determined by a projection of said inner tank onto said rail vehicle base.

7. A rail vehicle, comprising:
a rail vehicle base;
an inner tank having a tank base and a connection opening formed therein;
an unfoldable container having an inner side;
at least one transport loop fitted on an outer side of said unfoldable container;
a shaft disposed below said inner tank and supported by said rail vehicle base; and
a tank closure closing off said connection opening, said tank closure being inserted from an outer side of said inner tank for closing off said connection opening, said tank closure being fitted to said inner side of said unfoldable container and an edge of said unfoldable container being releasably connected to said shaft.

8. The rail vehicle according to claim 7 , further comprising a clamping strip, said cover is fitted to an outer side of said shaft by said clamping strip.

9. A rail vehicle, comprising:
a rail vehicle base;
an inner tank having a tank base and a connection opening formed therein;
an unfoldable, container having an inner side;
a shaft disposed below said inner tank and supported by said rail vehicle base;
a clamping strip, said edge of said unfoldable container being fitted to an outer side of said shaft using said clamping strip; and
a tank closure closing off said connection opening, said tank closure being inserted from an outer side of said inner tank for closing off said connection opening, said tank closure being fitted to said inner side of said unfoldable container and an edge of said unfoldable container being releasably connected to said shaft.
