A support system supports the two ends of a passenger-transportation device in a built structure. The support systemhas a swiveling support-point at a first end with a vertical swivel-axis. The second end contains a floating support-point for absorbing horizontal movements perpendicular to the swivel-axis. The floating support-point has at least one rolling element by means of which a sliding friction caused by the occurrence of horizontal movements in the floating support-point can be transformed into combined sliding-and-rolling friction or rolling friction.

Support for supporting a person conveying device on a structure

The invention relates to a transparent balustrade () of an escalator () or of a moving walk, comprising a balustrade skirt (), at least one glass panel (), and a handrail guide () with a handrail (). The at-least one glass panel () has an upper edge () and a lower end () and, at its lower end (), is gripped in a mounting () in the balustrade skirt () in locationally fixed manner. The transparent balustrade () contains at least one support (), which is tightly joined to the balustrade skirt (). The glass panel () is deformable perpendicular to its planar extent and therefore in lateral direction. Through its elastic deformability, to absorb lateral forces (F) the glass panel () displays lateral displaceability within a permissible deformation play (s), lateral displaceability within the permissible deformation play (s) being limited by the support ().

Escalator or moving walkway with a transparent balustrade

A balustrade support for an escalator or moving walk is located in a deflection area of the balustrade handrail. The support has a mounting region for mounting a handrail deflection wheel, a first fixing section for mounting the support to a framework of the escalator or moving walk, and a second fixing section for mounting the support to the balustrade. The rigidity of the support's mounting region for the deflection wheel is increased by the mounting of the support to the framework as well as to the balustrade.

Balustrade support for an escalator or a moving walkway

An escalator, a moving walkway or an elevator cage includes at least one illuminable transparent panel. The illuminable transparent panel has a construction containing a plurality of layers. The two side surfaces of each layer are bounded in the area dimension thereof by an edge region. The layers of the construction are arranged with the side surfaces against one another. The layer sequence of the construction is defined, wherein a first layer is a first glass pane, a second layer is a first transparent polymer layer, a third layer is a second glass pane, a fourth layer is a transparent polymer material plate containing light-dispersing particles, a fifth layer is a third glass pane, a sixth layer is a second transparent polymer layer and a seventh layer is a fourth glass pane.
