Abstract

A rail vehicle includes a side wall cladding element and a first profile rail fastened to the side wall cladding element. The first profile rail is provided for freely positioning and securing a first holder constructed to complement the first profile rail. The first holder in turn is connected to a framework or body shell of the rail vehicle.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A rail vehicle, comprising:
at least one side wall cladding element;
a first profile rail fastened to said at least one side wall cladding element;
at least one second profile rail fastened to said at least one side wall cladding element;
a first holder being complementary to said first profile rail and being freely positioned along said first profile rail for fastening said first holder to said at least one side wall cladding element, said first holder being connected to a body shell of the rail vehicle;
a second holder being complementary to said at least one second profile rail and being freely positioned along said at least one second profile rail for fastening said second holder to said at least one side wall cladding element; and
at least one further cladding element being a ceiling cladding element connected to said second holder.

2. The rail vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein said first profile rail and said second profile rail are interconnected in a materially integral manner.

3. The rail vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein said first profile rail and said second profile rail are formed in one piece.

4. The rail vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of said first or second profile rails is disposed at an upper end of said at least one side wall cladding element.

5. The rail vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein said first holder is clamped to said first profile rail.

6. The rail vehicle according to claim 1 , which further comprises first portions of hook-and-loop fasteners being fastened to said at least one side wall cladding element, said first portions being configured to be connected to second portions of said hook-and-loop fasteners being connected to the body shell of the rail vehicle.

7. The rail vehicle according to claim 1 , which further comprises:
a guide connected to the body shell of the rail vehicle; and
at least one hook to be hooked into said guide, said at least one hook being fastened to said at least one side wall cladding element.

8. The rail vehicle according to claim 7 , wherein said at least one hook is disposed at a lower end of said at least one side wall cladding element.

9. A rail vehicle, comprising:
at least one side wall cladding element;
a first profile rail having a C-shaped cross section and being fastened to said at least one side wall cladding element;
at least one second profile rail having a C-shaped cross section and being fastened to said at least one side wall cladding element;
said C-shaped cross section of said first profile rail having an upwardly pointing opening, and said C-shaped cross section of said second profile rail having a laterally pointing opening;
a first holder being complementary to said first profile rail and being freely positioned along said first profile rail for fastening said first holder to said at least one side wall cladding element, said first holder being connected to a body shell of the rail vehicle;
a second holder being complementary to said at least one second profile rail and being freely positioned along said at least one second profile rail for fastening said second holder to said at least one side wall cladding element; and
at least one further cladding element connected to said second holder.
