Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     Field of the Invention 
     The invention relates to a holding arrangement for an entry area of a rail vehicle and to a method for assembling a holding arrangement for an entry area of a rail vehicle. 
     It is known from practice that a holding arrangement is provided in the area of an entry door of the rail vehicle, said holding arrangement comprising a holding element which is connected to a door pillar paneling element. The door pillar paneling element is connected to a door pillar of the rail vehicle and the entry door is pivotally mounted on said door pillar. The holding arrangement makes it possible for passengers to be able to hold onto the holding element when getting out of the rail vehicle, getting into the rail vehicle or during the journey in the rail vehicle. 
     A one-part holding element of the holding arrangement can comprise a rod-shaped basic body and end portions of the holding element which are bent over perpendicularly to the basic body and are able to be connected to the door pillar paneling element. As an alternative to this, the one-part holding element can comprise the rod-shaped basic body and one or more spacer portions which can be arranged distributed along a longitudinal extension of the basic body, welded to the basic body and connected to the door pillar paneling element. 
     BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     It is the object of the invention to provide measures by way of which a holding arrangement for an entry area of a rail vehicle is able to be assembled in a simple and cost-efficient manner and is able to be connected to a door pillar of the rail vehicle. 
     A holding arrangement for an entry area of a rail vehicle is provided according to the invention, said holding arrangement having a rod-shaped holding element which comprises a through opening, a door pillar paneling element for covering a door pillar, wherein the door pillar paneling element comprises a through opening, a spacer element which is arranged between the holding element and the door pillar paneling element and comprises a through opening, a connecting element for connecting the door pillar paneling element to the door pillar, wherein the connecting element is arranged on a side of the door pillar paneling element remote from the spacer element and comprises a through opening, and a connecting screw which is screw-connected through the through opening of the holding element, the through opening of the spacer element and the through opening of the door pillar paneling element in the through opening of the connecting element. 
     The holding arrangement according to the invention is consequently based on the concept that, in place of a one-piece holding element, it is possible to provide a holding element and a separate spacer element which can make possible a two-piece holding possibility, which is at a spacing from the door pillar element, in the entry area of the rail vehicle for passengers of the rail vehicle. The holding element, the spacer element and the door pillar paneling element can be connected to a connecting element by means of a connecting screw by the connecting screw being able to extend through the through openings of the holding element, the spacer element and the door pillar paneling element. The connecting element can be directly connectable or indirectly connectable, i.e. by means of a further connecting element or further connecting elements, to the door pillar of a rail vehicle. 
     The modular method of construction of the holding arrangement can consequently make exchange of worn or damaged components of the holding arrangement possible such that maintenance costs for the holding arrangement can be particularly low. In addition, assembling or mounting the holding arrangement can be carried out in a particularly simple, time-saving and consequently cost-efficient manner as the holding element, the spacer element and the door pillar paneling element can be connected to the connecting element in one single operating step. In particular, the holding element, the spacer element and the door pillar paneling element, can be connected to the connecting screw as one module, for example outside the rail vehicle, and only then screw-connected to the connecting element. In this case, the connecting element can already be connected to the door pillar or can only be connected to the door pillar after this. 
     In particular, the holding element and/or the spacer element can be realized in a solid manner, that is of solid material. The holding element and/or the spacer element can comprise aluminum or can be realized from aluminum. In particular, the spacer element can be realized as a milling component or milling part, for example as an aluminum milling component. 
     The through opening of the holding element can taper in a step-shaped manner in the direction toward the spacer element, wherein a screw head of the connecting screw abuts against a portion of a boundary wall of the through opening, said portion extending transversely, in particular perpendicularly, to the longitudinal extension of the through opening. In particular, a corresponding abutment face in the holding element, which can be formed by the portion of the boundary wall of the through opening, can follow a shaping of the screw head. As a result, the connecting screw can be received completely in the holding element such that a risk of injury to a passenger when holding the holding element can be reduced. In addition, the holding arrangement can be realized in a particularly compact manner. 
     In particular, the through opening of the spacer element can extend transversely, in particular perpendicularly, and/or centrally through the spacer element, with reference to a longitudinal extension of the holding element. The first measure can make it easier to guide the connecting screw through the spacer element. The second measure can allow a particularly robust connection between the holding element and the connecting element as force introduction into the spacer element can be distributed equally during the assembling of the holding arrangement. 
     In particular, the through opening of the spacer element can comprise a constant diameter along its longitudinal extension. 
     The spacer element can comprise a further through opening which can taper in a step-shaped manner in the direction toward the holding element, wherein the spacer element can be screw-connected to the holding element by means of a further connecting screw, the screw head of which is able to abut against a portion of a boundary wall of the further through opening, said portion extending transversely, in particular perpendicularly, to the longitudinal extension of the further through opening of the spacer element. In this case, the shaping of the portion can follow the contour of the abutting screw head. Said measure can simplify the assembling of the holding arrangement as the holding element and the spacer element can already be connected by means of the connecting screw and cannot be screw-connected to the connecting element through the through opening of the door pillar paneling element until afterwards. In particular, the holding element can comprise a corresponding recess for this purpose. In addition, the screw head of the further connecting screw can be received in the spacer element such that an end face of the spacer element, which can point to the connecting element, can be realized in a flat manner and an accurately fitting and flush abutment of the spacer element against a corresponding adjacent component of the holding arrangement can be made possible. 
     The spacer element can comprise a recess which can be introduced into the spacer element from an end face that points to the holding element, wherein the holding element can comprise a recess which is arranged in alignment with the recess and can be introduced into the holding element from an end face that points to the spacer element, it being possible additionally for the holding arrangement to comprise a connecting pin which can be arranged, in particular in each case half in the recess of the spacer element and half in the recess of the holding element. In particular, a longitudinal extension of the recess of the spacer element and a longitudinal extension of the recess of the holding element can be slightly larger than a longitudinal extension of the connecting pin. As a result, the spacer element and the holding element can be secured against rotation and centered with respect to one another when the two elements are mounted such that the assembling of the holding arrangement and the connecting thereof to the door pillar is able to be simplified further. In particular, the connecting pin can be introduced initially into the recess of the spacer element and of the holding element before the further connecting screw can be introduced into the spacer element and screw-connected to the holding element. In particular, the holding element can comprise a corresponding further recess for this purpose. 
     In particular, the recess of the holding element and the further recess of the holding element can be arranged in each case adjacent the through opening of the holding element and/or can extend parallel to the through opening of the holding element. 
     In particular, the further through opening of the spacer element and the recess of the spacer element can be arranged in each case adjacent the through opening of the spacer element and/or can extend parallel to the through opening of the spacer element. 
     The spacer element can comprise a further recess which can be introduced into the spacer element from an end face that points to the connecting element, wherein the connecting element can comprise a further through opening, it being possible for the holding arrangement to comprise additionally a further connecting pin which is arranged, in particular in each case, half in the further recess of the spacer element and half in the further through opening of the connecting element. In particular, a longitudinal extension of the further recess of the spacer element can be slightly larger than half the longitudinal extension of the connecting pin. This can also make it possible for the spacer element and the connecting element to be secured against rotation and centered when the two components are assembled. 
     The recess of the spacer element and the further recess of the spacer element can be arranged in alignment with one another such that the use of space for the spacer element can be particularly good and the spacer element is able to be realized in a particularly small manner. 
     The spacer element can comprise at least one even further recess which can be introduced into the spacer end face of the spacer element that points to the connecting element, wherein the door pillar paneling element can comprise an angular projection at a spacing to a portion of an edge of its through opening, wherein a portion of the door pillar paneling element adjacent the portion of the edge of the through opening and the angular projection can form a pocket, it being possible for the holding arrangement to comprise additionally a plate shaped abutment element for the spacer element and the connecting element which is arranged in the pocket and can comprise a through opening, and one even further connecting screw which can be screw-connected through the through opening of the abutment element in the at least one even further recess of the spacer element. This can make a simple connection between the door pillar paneling element and the spacer element possible and reduces a possibility of damaging the door pillar paneling element when the spacer element and the holding element are mounted as the spacer element is not able to come into direct contact with the door pillar paneling element. 
     In particular, the through opening of the abutment element can be arranged in an edge region of the abutment element and the one even further recess of the spacer element can be arranged in an edge region of the spacer element such that the participating components are able to be connected together and at the same time central screw connection is possible by means of the connecting screw. 
     In particular, the spacer element can comprise a plurality of even further recesses, in particular precisely two even further recesses into which in each case one even further connecting screw can be screw-connected through a corresponding through opening of the abutment element. The even further recesses of the spacer element can be realized identically and/or in each case can extend parallel to one of the through openings of the spacer element and/or one of the recesses of the spacer element. In particular, the plurality of even further recesses of the spacer element, when viewed in the circumferential direction of the spacer element, can be distributed equally in an edge region of the spacer element and/or, when viewed along the longitudinal extension of the holding element, can be arranged in alignment with one another and/or in alignment with the through openings of the spacer element. The corresponding through openings of the abutment element, in this case, can be arranged in each case with one of the plurality of even further receiving means. 
     In particular, for each even further recess of the spacer element the connecting element can comprise a recess which can be arranged in alignment with the through opening of the abutment element and the recess of the spacer element such that a screw head of the even further connecting screw is able to be received in the connecting element and the connecting element and the abutment element are able to abut against one another in a flush manner. As a result, the holding arrangement can be realized in a particularly compact manner. 
     A body of the spacer element can be realized in a substantially cuboid manner, wherein a longitudinal extension of the body can extend substantially parallel to the longitudinal extension of the holding element. Said measure can make it possible to stabilize the holding element along its longitudinal extension and an installation space of the spacer element, when viewed along the longitudinal extension of the holding element, can be utilized in a particularly good manner as a corresponding end face of the spacer element can be realized in a sufficiently large manner in order to enable the arrangement of the recesses and the through openings of the spacer element. 
     An end face of the spacer element pointing to the holding element can abut against the holding element and be realized in a concave manner, and a further end face of the spacer element located opposite the end face can abut against the abutment element and be realized in a flat manner. This can make a particularly compact and sturdy method of construction of the holding arrangement possible. 
     In particular, at least one of the through openings of the holding element, the spacer element, the abutment element and/or the connecting element can also be realized as a through-bore and/or can comprise an internal thread. In particular, at least one of the recesses of the holding element, the spacer element and/or the connecting element can be realized as a bore, for example as a blind bore and/or can comprise an internal thread. 
     In particular, the holding arrangement can comprise a plurality of, in particular identically realized, portions of the holding element and portions of the door pillar paneling element, spacer elements, connecting elements and as an option abutment elements which are realized according to one or several of the above-described embodiments. 
     The invention additionally relates to a rail vehicle, having a holding arrangement which is described above. The rail vehicle can be, for example, a tram or a train, in particular a high speed train. 
     The invention additionally relates to a method for assembling a holding arrangement for an entry area of a rail vehicle, said holding arranged being described above and having the following steps—providing a rod-shaped holding element which comprises a through opening, providing a door pillar paneling element for covering a door pillar, wherein the door pillar paneling element comprises a through opening, providing a spacer element which comprises a through opening, providing a connecting element for connecting the door pillar paneling element to the door pillar, wherein the connecting element comprises a through opening, arranging the spacer element between the holding element and the door pillar paneling element, arranging the connecting element on a side of the door pillar paneling element that is remote from the spacer element and screw-connecting the holding element by means of a connecting screw through its through opening, through the through opening of the spacer element and through the through opening of the door pillar paneling element in the through opening of the connecting element.
