Ramp comprising a lateral barrier
The invention relates to a boarding aid ( 20 ) for a motor vehicle, in particular a sliding step of a door entry of a passenger transportation vehicle, said boarding aid being capable of being moved from an idle position into a usage position and back in a direction, which runs parallel to the side edges ( 28 ), and encompassing a planar element ( 22 ), a front side, two side edges ( 28 ), and a rear side. The planar element ( 22 ), on its side edges ( 28 ), encompasses barriers ( 30 ), which can be moved from a first upright position, in which they extend upwards in relation to a stepping surface of the planar element ( 22 ), into a second lowered position and vice versa, wherein the movement of the barriers ( 30 is effected by moving the planar element ( 22 ).
1. A sliding step of a door entry of a passenger transportation vehicle, comprising:
a planar element, a front side edges, and a rear side, the planar element being movable along said two side edges between a retracted position and an extended position;
wherein the planar element, on its side edges, encompasses barriers, movable from a first upright position, in which they extend upwards in relation to a stepping surface of the planar element, into a second lowered position and vice versa, wherein the movement of the barriers is effected by further extending the planar element in a direction parallel to the side edges after the planar element is in the extended position;
wherein each of the barriers encompass a barrier bar and at least one barrier arm, the barrier arm being supported on the planar element and on the barrier bar so as to be capable of being pivoted, so that the barrier can be erected and lowered; the barrier further encompassing a barrier rod, which at least in the first upright position, is in contact with a stationary component of the vehicle, the stationary component being arranged such that the barrier rod is already held on the stationary component in response to the extension of the planar elelment prior to reaching the end position of the planar element and that further extension movement of the planar element effects a movement of the barrier; and
wherein the free end of the barrier rod encompasses a caster, which is guided in a barrier guide roll and that the stationary component is formed by means of an end stop of the barrier guide roll in an extension direction of the planar element.
2. The sliding step according to claim 1 , wherein the barrier rod is embodied in an L-shaped manner.
3. The silding step according to claim 1 , wherein, in side view of the sliding step, the stationary component is arranged below the barrier guide roll and contacts the barrier rod from the top.
4. The sliding step according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one barrier arm is hinged on one of the side edges such that, in the second lowered position, the barrier is located completely laterally next to the planar element and does not exceed the height of the planar element.
5. The sliding step according to claim 1 , wherein provision is made for a box for accommodating the planar element, wherein the barrier guide roll and/or the stationary component are arranged within the box.
6. A sliding step of a door entry of a passenger transportation vehicle, comprising:
a planar element, a front side, two side edges, and a rear side, the planar element being movable along said two side edges between a retracted position and an extended position;
wherein the planar element, on its side edges, encompasses barriers, movable from a first upright position, in which they extend upwards in relation to a stepping surface of the planar element, into a second lowered position and vice versa, wherein the movement of the barriers is effected by further extending the planar element in a direction parallel to the side edges after the planar element is in the extended position;
wherein each of the barriers encompass a barrier bar and at least one barrier arm, the barrier arm being supported on the planar element and on the barrier bar so as to be capable of being pivoted, so that the barrier can be erected and lowered; the barrier further encompassing a barrier rod, which at least in the first upright position, is in contact with a stationary component of the vehicle, the stationary component being arranged such that the barrier rod is already held on the stationary component in response to the extension of the planar element prior to reaching the end position of the planar element and that further extension movement of the planar element effects a movement of the barrier; and
wherein the free end of the barrier rod encompasses a caster, which is guided in a barrier guide roll and that the stationary component is formed by means of an end stop of the barrier guide roll in an extension direction of the planar element, the stationary component being arranged below the bather guide roll and in contact with the bather rod from a side view of the sliding step.
7. The sliding step according to claim 6 , wherein the at least one barrier arm is hinged on one of the side edges such that, in the second lowered position, the barrier is located completely laterally next to the planar element and does not exceed the height of the planar element.
8. The sliding step according to claim 6 , wherein provision is made for a box for accommodating the planar element, wherein the barrier guide roll and/or the stationary component are arranged within the box.
