Seals between bunks and siding/interior panels in vehicles

Abstract

The present invention relates to a seal for minimizing or eliminating the gaps or gaps that occur between a variable / adjustable width bunk, preferably for a vehicle cabin, and a wall or interior panel against which the bunk is fitted. . The essence of the invention is that the seal consists of a relatively rigid load-bearing element and a flexible element placed on the load-bearing element, the seal being adapted to fit along one side of the bunk against a wall or interior panel of the vehicle, so that, at least in the open state of the bunk, the seal abuts the bunk, the width of the seal roughly corresponds to the width of the gap between the bunk and the wall panel / inner panel, and when the width of the bunk is changing, the seal The cladding / envelope is adapted to allow the bunk's cladding / envelope to pass unimpeded over the edge at the long side of the bunk facing the wall / inner panel, and the seal allows the bunk to be folded up against the wall / inner panel.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an arrangement in relation to a bunk in a vehicle (or vehicle), such as an adjustable width bunk, and in particular to a seal that minimizes or eliminates gaps or gaps between the bunk and the wall panels in the vehicle pieces, the bunk fits against the wall panels. The invention relates in particular to a seal associated with an interior panel of a vehicle, extending towards and connected to the interior long sides of the bunk. Background technique [0002] Especially in heavy vehicles / commercial vehicles it is desirable to provide bunks in the cabin to enable the driver to recline during long journeys / missions. The bunks are usually located behind the front seats, ie behind the driver's seat and the passenger's seat (passenger seat). If the bunk can be narrowed, compressed when not in use, so that the driver's seat can be placed in such a position without hindrance, perhaps pushed far to the rear, in order to provid...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The area is only covered by fabric and is therefore not supported from below, with the attendant risk of an uncomfortable lying position for the user and poor sleeping comfort

Another drawback is that in the pushed-on, compressed state of the bunk, the described device can hardly keep the fabric taut on the bunk, thus giving the impression of a qualitatively imperfect design

[0006] The state of the art in this field therefore does not address how to simply, automatically and safely cover the vehicle berth associated with the type of vehicle berth indicated in the introduction, especially when the berth is in the open state and has to be used as a resting place. The issue of gaps or gaps and does not address the issue of allowing the upper layer / fabric on the bunk to be tensioned and adaptable to different bunk width settings at the same time
