  • Patent number: 6219983
    Abstract: A covering plate (5), for flooring in conveyances such as a railway car, is provided with a securing track (11) for securing seats, etc. The covering plate (5) is formed by a sandwich structure having a central core (24) arranged between an outer plate (25), which extends across the entire size of the covering plate, and second outer plates (26). The securing track (11) is formed in a profile (27) embedded in the sandwich structure so that a securing track (11) extends at a right angle to lateral edges (14) of the covering plate (5). As either end of the profile is provided with tracks (29) for receiving tight-fitting pins (30), a floor structure can be mounted easily and rapidly.

  • Patent number: 6101766
    Abstract: A module structure toilet room (1) is disclosed. The toilet room is built from module parts (49-52) containing functional units in the form of a toilet bowl (8), a fecal tank (7), a heat exchanger (61), a water tank (13), etc. Each module has connection conduits with quick release couplings for interconnecting the functional units and means for direct mounting of the module parts on the bearing structure of the train wagon. The module parts also have fixed/releasable coupling means (78) for mounting the fitting elements in the form of wall coverings and the like.As the functional units may be built and tested before the final mounting in the train wagon (2), considerable savings may be obtained in the mounting time of the train wagon. Furthermore, the module structure enables the toilet room 1 to be used in several different types of train wagons (2). Furthermore, servicing may be accomplished easily as the functional units are built together and may easily be jointly replaced.
