Abstract

A cabin for a vehicle includes a cabin wall having an opening and a door for opening and closing the opening. The door is moved about a rotational point and includes a movable door leaf which has a concentric segment. The cabin wall additionally forms a door stop in the closing direction of the door. The door leaf further has a linear segment with a fixed end and a free end. The linear segment adjoins the concentric segment at the fixed end in the closing direction of the door, and the free end of the linear segment forms a closing edge in the closing direction of the door. The closing edge lies against the door stop when the door is closed. A vehicle including an interior having the cabin is also provided.

Claims

1. A cabin for a vehicle, the cabin comprising:

a cabin wall having an opening and a door stop;

a door being movable about a rotational point for opening and closing said opening, said door including a door leaf being movable toward said door stop in a closing direction of said door;

said door leaf having a concentric segment and a linear segment with a fixed end and a free end, said fixed end being disposed at a distance from said rotational point being less than a distance between said free end and said rotational point;

said fixed end of said linear segment adjoining said concentric segment in said closing direction of said door; and

said free end of said linear segment forming a closing edge in said closing direction of said door, said closing edge lying against said door stop in a closed state of said door.

2. The cabin according to claim 1, which further comprises a resilient sealing profile disposed at said free end of said linear segment of said door leaf.

3. The cabin according to claim 2, wherein said sealing profile, in said closed state of said door, bears against said cabin wall from outside said cabin wall in a vicinity of said opening.

4. The cabin according to claim 2, wherein said sealing profile, in said closed state of said door, partially or entirely covers said closing edge of said door and said door stop from outside.

5. The cabin according to claim 2, wherein said sealing profile bears against said door stop for said door.

6. The cabin according to claim 2, wherein said sealing profile includes a first resilient element bearing between said free end of said linear segment and said door stop, in said closed state of said door.

7. The cabin according to claim 6, wherein said first resilient element is a resilient nose.

8. The cabin according to claim 6, wherein said sealing profile includes a second resilient element bearing against said cabin wall from outside, in said closed state of said door.

9. The cabin according to claim 8, wherein said second resilient element is a resilient lip.

10. The cabin according to claim 1, wherein said linear segment has a length being less than 10% of a length of said concentric segment.

11. The cabin according to claim 1, wherein said linear segment has a length being less than 5% of a length of said concentric segment.

12. A vehicle, comprising:

a vehicle shell; and

a cabin according to claim 1 disposed in said vehicle shell.

13. The cabin according to claim 1, wherein said fixed end and said concentric segment enclose an angle other than 180 degrees therebetween.
