Connection for floor covering in vehicles, in particular, in rail vehicles

The invention aims to compensate for tolerances which occur in the interior construction of rail vehicles, using a floating floor construction and to allow a force-reducing relative displacement between the installation components which are permanently mounted onto the construction shell, such as seats, back panels, cupboards etc. and the floor, whilst excluding the penetration of moisture between the permanently mounted attachments or installed sections and the floor, which can be displaced in relation to each other. This is achieved by a corner profile (12), located between the floor plate (5) and the attachments or installed sections (18) that are permanently mounted onto the construction shell. Said corner profile runs both longitudinally and transversally in relation to said attachments and sections, forming a bearing surface (11) for the floor covering. One limb (13) of said corner profile forms the edge of the floor plate (5) which is to receive the floor covering and the other limb (15) is positioned so that it can be displaced in a longitudinal and transverse direction, in relation to the construction shell. The horizontal tolerance compensation can be absorbed by a flexible seal (17) which is fixed to the limb (15) and lies against the construction shell.
