Floating support of a window for vehicles, especially for railway vehicles used for regional traffic

摘要

The window holder is esp. for rail vehicles used for local traffic. The window has a single or double pane and is held by a peripheral elastic profiled component (1) secured in the window opening by a vertical rib. It contains a U-section groove (2) accommodating the pane (16). On the inside, the component has a sealing lip (8) between the inner pane (19) and the window socket (11) and on the outside a wedge-shaped filler piece (7) between the pane edge and the rib (14). The outside surface (4) of the component is nearly flush with the external sheet metal of the bodywork, its edges forming sealing lips (5, 6). One lip (6) forms the outside of the groove (2) which contains a further clamping groove (3) for a collar (18) on the pane edge, absorbing pressure on the pane. Where double glazing is used, the collar can be formed by the protruding edge of the larger inner pane.
