    摘要: A handrail system for a moving walkway. The handrail includes multiple handgrasp apparatuses for a moving walkway wherein each handgrasp apparatus includes a handgrasp. The handrail system also includes a propulsion system for propelling the handgrasp apparatuses on a passenger side and a return side of a loop track the handgrasp apparatuses travel around. The handrail system further includes a side housing for supporting the handrail system and enclosing the return side for the handgrasps. Another handrail system for use with a moving walkway. This handrail system includes a handrail belt and a driver roller for moving the handrail belt. This handrail system also includes multiple handgrasps driven around a loop track by the handrail belt.

    摘要: The invention relates to a people conveyor drive (40) of a people conveyor (1) comprising a plurality of treads (13) interconnected to form an endless tread band (12). The people conveyor drive (40) comprises a tension member drive system (25) configured for driving the endless tread band (12), and a shaft (50) having a shaft main portion (52) and at least one shaft support portion (54). The at least one shaft support portion (54) is supported by at least one shaft bearing (57) to be rotatable around a shaft axis (A). The shaft (50) is configured for engaging with an endless tread drive tension member (15). The shaft (50) has a split shaft configuration in which the shaft main portion (52) is detachably coupled to the at least one shaft support portion (54).

    摘要: The invention relates to a handrail system of a people mover, the handrail system comprising a circulating handrail and a safety system of a handrail inlet in a handrail housing. The safety system comprises a hatch provided around the handrail inlet in the handrail housing; and trigger means operationally connected between the hatch and the handrail housing to launch the hatch from a first position inwards into the handrail housing to a second position in response to a detection of an object touching the hatch or arriving to a safety area in front of the hatch. The handrail system further comprises a coupling for operatively connecting the circulating handrail and the safety system, the coupling being arranged to stop the handrail in response to the launch of the hatch inwards into the handrail housing or in response to a detection of an object by a sensor which the object is arriving to the safety area in front of the hatch. The invention further relates to method for preventing injuries in a handrail system of a people mover. The method comprises the steps of providing a hatch around a handrail inlet in a handrail housing of a circulating handrail; operationally connecting the hatch, the handrail housing and the handrail; launching the hatch from a first position inwards into the handrail housing to a second position in response to a detection of an object touching the hatch or arriving to a safety area in front of the hatch; and stopping the handrail in response to the launch of the hatch inwards into the handrail housing or in response to a detection of an object by a sensor which the object is arriving to the safety area in front of the hatch.
