ABSTRACT:
A box-shaped body for busses in which the sidewalls have windows and some of the sidewalls have doors. A roof is connected to the sidewalls, and at least the lengthwise sidewalls of the box-shaped body are connected to the roof by a two-part roof rim profile. A section of this roof rim profile is associated with the sidewalls and forms a continuous upper arch section directly connected to an upper edge of the windows. The roof rim profile has also a section associated with the roof, which is box-shaped and supplements the upper arch section. A self-centering detent connection with undercuts is provided at a point connecting the upper arch section with the box-shaped section of the roof rim profile. The inside of the upper arch section and the box-shaped section each have a lug for hanging a covering creating a space of triangular cross-section for holding lamps, cables, ventilation channels and similar elements. The covering is formed by individual sectioned plates which have ribs corresponding to the lugs, and they also have strips for inserting advertising posters and lamp cover panes, for example. The lugs and/or strips have rubber gaskets for noiseless suspension of the cover plates and other posters. The upper arch section may be reinforced with a lattice framework and have a rain strip on its outside.
