A saloon is a type of horse-drawn carriage.
Berlin is a notion that comes from the French berline , in turn derived from Berlin (that is, Berlin ). The concept refers, among other things, to a type of horse-drawn carriage that was created in the aforementioned city in Germany .
A closed carriage that usually has four seats is called a saloon, then. Its case has a rounded design in the lower sector and square in the upper segment.
Origin of the saloon
The antecedents of the saloon can be found in a car that emerged in the middle of the 15th century in Hungarian territory. These vehicles were characterized by having leather straps that held the box .
With the passage of time , the way in which the box was suspended was modified, seeking greater comfort and security. Thus, around 1670 , the saloon was born, which used a novel suspension mechanism: leather straps were extended between the wheels using a winding system equipped with a brake located on the rear wheels.
In this way, unlike other carriages of the time, the saloon could travel at greater speed and in a safer manner. That is why it was gaining popularity in much of the European continent.
Berlina can be used as a synonym for sedan.
A kind of car
The dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy ( RAE ), on the other hand, indicates that a saloon is a car whose design includes four doors in the side areas . In colloquial language, saloon is usually used as a synonym for sedan (the car that, in addition to the four doors, houses a separate trunk or trunk and has a fixed cover).
Before moving forward, it is important to note that a car is a vehicle that can move by itself along a common road since it does not require lanes. This type of means of transport achieves its propulsion thanks to an engine.
As for the sedan, it is a car with a body separated into three volumes. The rear glass remains fixed because it is not part of the trunk lid, which in turn is separate from the cabin. The side doors, meanwhile, are four.
The saloon in food
The idea of a saloon also appears linked to food . The term is used to refer to a sweet bun or bread that is also known as a berlin , rosquita , donut , donut or donut .
Breads are usually made with wheat flour, yeast, egg, lard (butter), milk and sugar. They are usually fried in pork fat and may be covered in sugar, coconut or other products. There are also stuffed sedans.
Sometimes, the concept of a saloon is specifically linked to the spherical bun that is sprinkled with sugar , leaving the name donut or donut intended for those that are ring -shaped.
a beer brand
Berlina , finally, is the name of an Argentine craft beer brand. It was founded in 2004 in the city of San Carlos de Bariloche and four years later it moved its production plant to Colonia Switzerland , always in Patagonia .
Berlina currently produces about thirty types of beer, some that include ingredients such as chocolate , pumpkin and mandarin orange. In addition, the company has many of its own bars.
