Abstract:
A conveyance element (20) for a conveyor (1), in particular for a people conveyor such as a moving walkway (2), is configured for being moved in a conveying direction and comprises an outer side (20a) configured for accommodating and supporting passengers; and an opposing inner side (20b) facing away from the outer side (20a). At least a portion of the inner side (20b) is a concave portion (32) having a concave shape along the conveying direction.
Abstract:
A conveyance element (20) for a people conveyor (1) is configured for being moved in a conveyance direction. The conveyance element (20) comprises a tread plate (24) configured for supporting passengers and at least one protection element (28, 29) configured for collecting items and/or fluids. The tread plate (24) has a longitudinal extension extending parallel to the conveyance direction and a lateral extension extending transversely to the conveyance direction. The at least one protection element (28, 29) is arranged below the tread plate (24), when the conveyance element (20) is arranged in an upright orientation, and it extends beyond at least one end (23) of the tread plate (24) in the conveyance direction.
Abstract:
A moving walkway (1) comprises at least one endless belt (12) moving in a conveyance direction along a closed loop; a plurality of pallets (20); and a plurality of linkages (26a, 26b) rotatably connecting adjacent pallets (20) with each other. A mounting portion (20a) of each pallet (20) is rotatably connected to the at least one belt (12).
Abstract:
A plate belt of a moving walkway has plates arranged in succession in a movement direction and between two mutually parallel link chains formed by chain links of different widths. Each chain link is connected with one of the plates by at least one fastening device. The fastening devices include a fastening bolt and a cup washer, wherein the cup washer has a cup base ring and a cup collar encircling the cup base ring. The inner height of the cup collar corresponds with the thickness of at least one chain link strap of the chain link and the inner diameter of the cup collar is greater than the outer diameter of the region of the fastening bolt bearing against the cup base ring in the mounted state.
Abstract:
Step element for an escalator or for a moving walkway, wherein the step element is configured as a one-piece die-cast aluminium part, comprising a step element skeleton and a step plate, wherein the step plate has a step profile, wherein the step profile has webs and grooves running in the travelling direction, wherein the webs are formed by two web arms running practically parallel to one another and by a connecting web face and the grooves run between the webs which are arranged in a row alongside one another.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a step (4) of an escalator or a plate (14) of a moving walkway. This comprises a tread element (40) and a support body (30) with a base (31), wherein the tread element (40) comprises at least two sub-elements (41, 42, 43) and each sub-element (41, 42, 43) is bounded in the areal extent thereof by two parallel end sides (45, 46) extending in the intended direction (X) of movement of the step (4, 304) or plate (14, 114) and two edge sides (47, 48, 147, 148) arranged orthogonally to the end sides (45, 46). The at least two sub-elements (41, 42, 43) are arranged in a predetermined sequence on the base (31) of the support body (30). Sub-elements (41, 42, 43) arranged adjacent to one another respectively bear against one another by one of the end sides (45, 46) thereof, wherein a sub-element (41, 42) previously arranged on the base (31) is secured to the support body (30) by the respective sub-element (42, 43) subsequently arranged on the base (31).
Abstract:
A handrail for one of an escalator and a people-mover the includes a cross-section formed by a first upper cross-sectional part and a second lower cross-sectional part, the first cross-sectional part that includes an upper belt structured and arranged to form a handle for individuals to be transported by one of the escalator and the people-mover, the second cross-sectional part that includes a lower belt structured and arranged to form an active connection with a guiding system and a driving system, and a connecting bridge that connects the upper belt to the lower belt, wherein the cross-section has a double “T” shape and the lower belt that includes side areas that extend beyond the connecting bridge as viewed in the cross section, and the side areas are wedge-shaped. The instant abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
Abstract:
A pallet for a passenger conveyor includes an integrally formed thin walled support frame. The support frame walls all extend in the same principle direction to permit the support flame to be formed by an extrusion process. In a particular embodiment, the support frame includes thin walls extending in the width dimension. In another embodiment, the support frame includes multiple, integrally formed pieces having thin walls extending in the length dimension. The width of the support frame is dependent on the combined width of the multiple pieces.
