Abstract: A side wall for a rail vehicle body includes an outer skin, an insulating layer adjacent an inner face of the outer skin, a structural layer adjacent an inner face of the insulating layer, a finishing layer adjacent an inner face of the structural layer and a window. The insulating layer provides at least one of a thermal and an acoustical insulation. The structural layer has a longitudinally aligned top door frame member, vertical left and right door frame members and a plurality of diagonal structural members oriented at an angle comprised between 1 degree and 89 degrees from the top door frame member. The plurality of diagonal structural members defines a lattice structure having a plurality of openings there in between. The window covers at least a portion of one of the plurality of openings.

Abstract: The present document describes a heat resistant floor assembly for a rail vehicle. The heat resistant floor assembly comprising: a floor structure and a fire protection panel made of a composite material connected underneath the floor structure.

Abstract: There is provided a roof for a vehicle where each one of its right and left side wall has at least a first and a second door opening. The roof structure comprises a lattice structure and an outer shell. The lattice structure has two pairs of longitudinal segments adapted to be located at a top portion of the first and second door openings and two diagonal segments. One diagonal segment extends from a first longitudinal segment adapted to be located at the first door opening in the right wall to a second longitudinal segment adapted to be located at the second door opening in the opposite wall. The other diagonal segment extends from a first longitudinal segment adapted to be located at the first door opening in the left wall to a second longitudinal segment adapted to be located at the second door opening in the opposite wall. The outer shell is placed atop the lattice structure and extends from a region proximate the front end to a region proximate the rear end of the vehicle.

Abstract: A personal watercraft (PWC) is provided with a hull having an inner surface. An engine and jet propulsion unit are mounted to the hull and constructed and arranged to propel the PWC. A starboard support post extends generally upwardly from a starboard side of the inner surface of the hull and provides a starboard deck supporting surface. A port support post extends generally upwardly from a port side of the inner surface of the hull and provides a port deck supporting surface. A deck, which is constructed and arranged to support a rider in an operative riding position thereon, is mounted atop the hull with port and starboard supported portions of the deck engaging the port and starboard deck supporting surfaces, respectively, such that at least a portion of a weight of the rider is transferred to and borne by the deck supporting posts.
