  • Patent number: 10745033
    Abstract: A pneumatic pump device coupled to a container for flowable material includes a jet pump with at least one intake duct extending away from the container and leading into the jet pump and an air supply duct extending away from the container and to which pressure can be applied or which leads to an outer surface of the pneumatic pump device. The intake duct and air supply duct have essentially the same orientation in the region of the container and are advantageously inclined relative to the vertical by not more than 40°. A metering system includes a container and such a pneumatic pump device coupled thereto and the use of the pneumatic pump device or metering system in a sanding system of a rail vehicle.

  • Patent number: 10126365
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for monitoring at least one electronic switching contact for a door system for a vehicle, wherein the switching contact has a first connection for a first electrical line and a second connection for a second electrical line. The method comprises a step of reading a first signal from a first monitoring point connected to the first connection in order to obtain a first monitoring signal, a step of reading a second signal from a second monitoring point connected to the second connection in order to obtain a second monitoring signal, and a step of combining the first monitoring signal and the second monitoring signal in order to determine at least one state of the at least one switching contact.

  • Patent number: 9963923
    Abstract: A door leaf for a vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, wherein the door leaf has a door leaf frame, a first skin mounted on a first main surface of the door leaf frame, and a second skin mounted on a second main surface opposite the first main surface. The door leaf has a heat path from the first skin to the second skin through at least two different materials, wherein the at least two different materials have a different thermal conductivity, wherein a first material of the at least two different materials has a poorer thermal conductivity than metal, in particular a poorer thermal conductivity than aluminum.

  • Patent number: 9561808
    Abstract: A method for controlling a magnetic rail brake device of a rail vehicle, wherein the device contains at least one solenoid of a magnet rail brake, said solenoid being fed from a source of electrical energy via an electrical connection, wherein upon a magnet rail brake activation signal the electrical connection between the source of electrical energy and the at least one solenoid of the magnet rail brake is established and upon a magnet rail brake de-activation signal same is disconnected, in order to excite the at least one solenoid to generate a magnetic force or de-excite said at least one solenoid.

  • Patent number: 9505330
    Abstract: An entry aid for a rail vehicle or a motor vehicle have a step, which is movably supported on rolling elements and/or sliding surfaces, and a drive, which is coupled to the step for extending and retracting the step. The rolling elements/sliding surfaces are positioned in exactly three support regions at a distance from one another and arranged in a triangle. Alternatively the rolling elements/sliding surfaces can be arranged on rockers, and bearing points of the rockers can be positioned in exactly three support regions at a distance from one another and arranged in a triangle.
