This application relates to a method for installing a support structure for a passenger transport system in a construction. The support structure comprises a framework made of load-bearing framework components connected to each other. The method includes placing a plurality of individual framework components, having connection openings designed therein, at an installation position within the construction; and assembling the framework on or near the installation position within the construction by connecting the framework components to each other by way of load-bearing connector components, in that a respective connector component is arranged to reach through adjacently arranged connection openings of at least two adjacent framework components and is then deformed in respect of the outside geometry thereof, such that they completely fill out the connection openings they reach through, without play.

Method for installing a support structure for a passenger transport system in a construction

A track module of an escalator or a moving walkway comprises at least two support structures and at least one guide rail. Each support structure includes at least two supports and at least one cross strut, wherein the cross strut is arranged between the at least two supports and connects these together. Each support has a foot fastening region which, in the installed state, is fastened to a carrying structure. Moreover, a balustrade fastening region, to which in the installed state at least a part of a balustrade is fastened, is formed at each support, so that static and dynamic loads acting on the balustrade are transmissible directly to the carrying structure by way of the supports.

Track system for an escalator or moving walkway

An escalator with a step belt or a moving walkway with a plate belt has a first deflecting region and a second deflecting region, wherein the plate belt or the step belt is arranged to circulate between the first deflecting region and the second deflecting region. The escalator or the moving walkway includes at least one guide rail arranged between the deflecting regions for guidance of the step belt or the plate belt, as well as at least one support, which is arranged between the deflecting regions for supporting the at least one guide rail. The at least one support includes a plurality of plug parts that in an assembled state can be plugged together by plug connections to form a box-shaped support base body.

Track system for an escalator or a moving walkway

Travelator

A moving walkway pallet is composed of a series of plates of a plate belt arranged to circulate between two deflecting regions of the walkway. Each plate has a base body with a base surface to which a tread element can be attached. The plates are pivotally connected to each other along pivot axes (SA) extending across a width (B) of the plates. The pivot axis is located either in a plane containing the base surface or above the side of the plane, remote from the base body. The base body has a width base body cross-section having a geometric center of gravity arranged below the base surface.

Pallet of a moving walkway

The invention relates to a step () of an escalator or a plate () of a moving walkway. This comprises a tread element () and a support body () with a base (), wherein the tread element () comprises at least two sub-elements () and each sub-element () is bounded in the areal extent thereof by two parallel end sides () extending in the intended direction (X) of movement of the step () or plate () and two edge sides () arranged orthogonally to the end sides (). The at least two sub-elements () are arranged in a predetermined sequence on the base () of the support body (). Sub-elements () arranged adjacent to one another respectively bear against one another by one of the end sides () thereof, wherein a sub-element () previously arranged on the base () is secured to the support body () by the respective sub-element () subsequently arranged on the base ().

Pallet of a moving walkway or step for an escalator

Guide rail for an escalator of a moving walkway, comprising at least one planar base surface with a guide surface for rollers, particularly for guide rollers of a step belt or plate belt of an escalator or a moving walkway, and at least one guide strip with a guide flank for lateral guidance of these rollers, wherein the guide strip is a separate component.

Guide strip for a guide rail of an escalator or a moving walkway

The invention relates to an escalator with a step belt or to a moving walkway with a plate belt. The step belt or plate belt has a link chain which contains engagement points arranged in succession at theoretically equal engagement spacings. The escalator or moving walkway has a first deflecting region and a second deflecting region with chainwheels. The link chain is arranged to circulate between the deflecting regions and the engagement points engage in tooth gaps of the chainwheels. The chainwheels have a pitch circle with a pitch which is referred to the tooth gaps and corresponds with half an engagement spacing of the link chain.

Conveying chain sprocket and/or deflection chain sprocket having an increased service life

An escalator with a step belt or a moving walkway with a plate belt, which step belt or plate belt comprises at least one transport chain that is arranged to circulate between a first and second deflecting region of the escalator or moving walkway. Steps or plates are arranged at the transport chain and connected with the transport chain. In addition, at least one blocking device is arranged in stationary position and has at least one blocking arm. The blocking arm can be brought into a release position or into an engagement position, wherein this blocking arm in the engagement position engages in at least one link intermediate space of the transport chain and the blocking arm is fixable in the respective release position or engagement position.
