Method for the emergency opening of railway carriage sliding and pivoting doors has a spring loaded lever system releasing the door locks when a cable is pulled

摘要

The doors (1a,1b) are guided by a rail (2a,2b) above the opening and are driven by toothed bars (3a,3b) and a drive motor (6a) with toothed belts and bevel gears (6b,6c) and held by locking units (10). A Bowden cable initiates a system of levers to open the doors by releasing a spring loaded actuator.
