[0003] Description

[0004] Window system, car body, track-guided vehicle for passenger transport and handling

[0005] The invention relates to a window system for a track-guided vehicle for passenger transport.

[0006] Furthermore, the invention relates to a car body comprising at least one such window system.

[0007] Furthermore, the invention relates to a track-guided vehicle comprising at least such a window system or such a car body.

[0008] The invention further relates to a method for at least partially dismantling such a window system or a window system further developed as described below.

[0009] To replace a window pane in track-guided vehicles, such as rail vehicles, a seal must be removed from the window system. Typically, the seal is pried out using screwdrivers or other tools until it is accessible and can be pulled out. This manipulation often leads to damage to the seal or to the frame or car body. If the frame is damaged, for example, by damage to the paintwork, corrosion will subsequently occur.

[0010] Based on this, the invention aims to create a window system of the type mentioned above that allows for damage during the replacement of a window pane. 202501268

[0011] 2

[0012] This problem is solved according to the invention by the window system according to claim 1. Furthermore, this problem is solved by the car body according to claim 11. The problem is also solved by the track-guided vehicle according to claim 16. Finally, the problem is solved by the method according to claim 17.

[0013] According to the invention, a window system, in particular for a car body of a track-guided vehicle for passenger transport, is provided, comprising a window pane and at least one frame for receiving the window pane, wherein the window system has at least one cavity and an elastic element, wherein the elastic element is at least partially inserted into the cavity, and wherein the cavity is connected to a fluid channel.

[0014] According to the invention, a car body, in particular for a track-guided vehicle for passenger transport, is provided, comprising at least such a window system or a window system further developed as described below, and at least one opening designed to accommodate the window system.

[0015] According to the invention, a track-guided vehicle is further provided, comprising at least such a window system or a car body further developed as described below.

[0016] According to the invention, a method for at least partially disassembling such a window system, or a window system further developed as described below, is provided, preferably characterized by the following step: pressurizing the cavity via the fluid channel such that the elastic element is driven out of the cavity by the overpressure. 202501268

[0017] 3

[0018] The window pane, for example, is a laminated glass pane.

[0019] The elastic element is preferably a seal or an elastic clamping element. The seal can, in particular, be designed as a sealing rubber. The elastic clamping element can, in particular, be designed as a clamping rubber.

[0020] The cavity is designed to accommodate at least one elastic element. For example, the cavity is formed around the perimeter of the window system, following the contour of the window pane. Preferably, the cavity can be formed by at least one frame.

[0021] The at least one frame is preferably formed around the perimeter, following the contour of the window pane, within the window system and frames the window pane.

[0022] The cavity and the fluid channel are connected in such a way that they are fluidically connected, allowing the fluid channel and cavity to communicate fluidically.

[0023] The elastic element is at least partially inserted into the cavity. This means that the elastic element fills at least part of the cavity. It is possible for the at least one elastic element to be completely contained within the cavity. Likewise, it is possible for the at least one elastic element to be only partially contained within the cavity.

[0024] The design according to the invention makes it possible to pressurize the cavity with a pressurized fluid by supplying the fluid channel with a pressurized fluid, such as compressed air. This makes it possible to draw the elastic element out of the cavity.

[0025] 4

[0026] extract without causing damage to, for example, the elastic element, the car body, at least the frame, or the window pane.

[0027] Damaged areas, e.g., on the coating, can lead to corrosion and would have to be repaired using time-consuming and expensive methods. This can be avoided according to the invention. Furthermore, the handling of screwdrivers or knives, which can lead to injuries, is eliminated.

[0028] The design according to the invention is fast, reliable and safe.

[0029] In the design of the window system, it can be provided that the cavity can be pressurized via the fluid channel in such a way that the elastic element can be driven out of the cavity by the overpressure.

[0030] By applying overpressure to the cavity, the elastic element can be forced out. This allows for easy disassembly of the elastic element and the other components of the window system.

[0031] The elastic element can be driven out without damage. "Driven out," as defined in the claim, means that the elastic element is at least partially detached from the cavity and can therefore be removed manually, preferably without additional tools.

[0032] The track-guided vehicle for passenger transport can preferably be a rail vehicle.

[0033] Furthermore, it may be provided that a window system is installed flush with the outer contour of the car body. 202501268

[0034] 5

[0035] In the design of the window system, it can be provided that the fluid channel is connected or connectable to a valve, preferably in such a way that the fluid channel and the cavity can be pressurized via the valve.

[0036] The valve can, for example, be designed as a check valve, as are known from the filling of bicycle or car tires.

[0037] This valve is either permanently connected to the fluid channel or can be removed. For example, the valve can be screwed in for removal.

[0038] By connecting an air pump or compressor to the valve, overpressure can be created in the cavity.

[0039] This makes it possible to trigger the elastic element in a controlled manner.

[0040] The design of the window system may include a cavity formed by at least one frame.

[0041] Because a cavity is integrated into the frame, a compact design is provided.

[0042] In the design of the window system, it may be provided that at least one frame has a first frame and the window pane is connected to the first frame.

[0043] This provides a multi-part frame structure with a first and second frame, which allows for easy assembly and disassembly of the window system.

[0044] It is possible to connect the frame parts in various ways.

[0045] The design of the window system may include the provision that at least one frame has a second frame, 202501268

[0046] 6

[0047] where the second frame is detachably connected to the first frame.

[0048] This provides a window system that can be quickly replaced using simple means and by personnel who do not require any special additional qualifications.

[0049] Compared to an entire car body, small components, such as the first and second frames, can be manufactured to tight tolerances. In case of defects or wear, these components can be easily replaced.

[0050] The first frame and the second frame can be designed in such a way that they extend to the outer contour of the car body, thus creating a defined sealing surface that is independent of the contour of the car body and window pane components.

[0051] According to the invention, it is possible to precisely manufacture the first and second frames with holes and threads on a machining center. Machining is therefore significantly simpler than on the car body itself, and a quality check is possible beforehand. Even in the event of a faulty drilling pattern, the first or second frame can be easily replaced without the need for costly repairs to the car body.

[0052] In the design of the window system, it can be provided that the window pane is materially bonded to the first frame, preferably by means of an adhesive bond.

[0053] This provides a reliable connection between the window pane and the first frame, allowing the first frame, together with the window pane, to be designed as a module. 202501268

[0054] 7

[0055] In the design of the window system, it may be provided that the first frame and the second frame are connected by a plurality of form-fitting and / or force-fit connections, in particular screw connections.

[0056] The window pane can be inserted into the car body from the outside using the first frame and is preferably attached to the second frame by screw connections.

[0057] This establishes a connection between the first frame and the second frame, allowing the first frame to be detached from the second frame without damage.

[0058] Compared to machining an entire car body, holes and threads with minor variations can be drilled into the first and second frames. These components can be easily replaced in case of defects or wear.

[0059] In the embodiment of the window system, it can be provided that the window system has an inside and an outside, wherein the elastic element and the fluid channel, and preferably the valve, are accessible together from the inside or from the outside.

[0060] This ensures that both the elastic element and the fluid channel are accessible from the inside or outside of the window system, allowing easier access for assembly, maintenance and disassembly.

[0061] In the design of the window system, it may be provided that the valve can be screwed into or is screwed into one end of the fluid channel. 202501268

[0062] 8

[0063] This creates a detachable connection between the valve and the fluid channel. This allows the valve to be integrated directly into the fluid channel, simplifying connection and accessibility to the window system or the car body.

[0064] In the design of the window system, it can be provided that the car body has an interior and that the fluid channel, and preferably the valve, are accessible from the interior of the car body.

[0065] This ensures that both the elastic element and the fluid channel are accessible from the inside or outside of the car body, allowing easier access for assembly, maintenance and disassembly.

[0066] In the design of the car body, it can be provided that the fluid channel, and preferably the valve, are covered by an interior lining of the car body.

[0067] This allows the valve to remain in the installed state and be concealed by the interior trim, thus ensuring it is tamper-proof.

[0068] In the embodiment of the car body, it can be provided that the car body has an outside and that the fluid channel, and preferably the valve, are accessible from the outside of the car body.

[0069] This allows the valve to be accessed from outside the car body and easily reached. This increases flexibility and range of applications.

[0070] In the design of the car body, it may be provided that the fluid channel or the valve extends through an outer flange of the car body shell. 202501268

[0071] 9

[0072] Integrating the valve or fluid channel into the building shell provides improved accessibility.
