Step plate for a 3-channel up a _c ; oneig

Pedestrian conveyor system-The invention relates to a step plate of a belt or throttle disc running track of an inclined pedestrian conveyor system, all construction difficulties and additional costs for the concave formation of the bandea air. Avoids lower end of the inclined conveyor line and also offers pedestrians a better transition than they get where the step plate is inclined at the same angle as the belt.

Inclined running tracks for pedestrian conveyor systems and especially those with ribbons are very powerful and off desired for various reasons. The transition from the inclined position of the running track to the horisonSale at the bottom The end requires special training. This is

ways of changing the posture of pedestrians are primary.

The posture easily leaves the pedestrians their equilibrium lose when moving from the inclined surface to the horizontal can. His solution is a lower step plate, which is inclined in the same angle as the Lauiba-in, so that the pedestrians, when they leave the runway, get on the inclined landing pad. Although this construction no transition from the inclined position to the horizontal

^ zontale requires, it has the disadvantage that axe the pedestrians can escape at an incline, which requires greater stress on the body than a horizontal one (Another construction has a band with a concave and a horizontal section at the bottom End.) Although this conveyor system is fully sufficient, it is more expensive and required because of the additional mechanism more space. Also, some pedestrians have the feeling of being unstable it ät if, when standing on the belt, they move over the concave part from the inclined position to the horizontal

* cut go.

Another problem is the provision of a threshold rake that works together with the belt and the step plate. at In such belt track constructions, the threshold rakes are in the same plane as the belts, what a 'maximum safety and a maximum efficiency results. The problem is how this same si-

safety and performance can be achieved while at the same time a step plate the pedestrians and loads on de;,. Band from the inclined position to the horizontal wear them without eating, they lose their weight.

The object of the invention is to provide a step lath construction specify for an inclined conveyor system that has a constant transition from the inclined conveyor system to a horizontal support with the greatest convenience for the Indicate pedestrians. In addition, an inclined rake should be used provided with teeth having the same inclination as that of the conveyor belt, so that the feet of the pedestrian or the loads on the conveyor system on and on the: belt and from him in the direction of movement with your or without resistance.

The invention is that a concave curved Step plate advises a continuous surface is provided, on which a foot or other object; the aiii sicn moving belt or slides from it into the horizontal Location koi: ^: t.

The curved section and the upper part of the TrittcKR-tt * are so wide that a pedestrian step on it with a normal step and thus get on or off the conveyor system.

The invention and its features are illustrated using an exemplary embodiment described with the help of the drawings.In this is:

The upper edge portion 18 of the tread plate 19 includes a surface 26 which is also aligned with the upper support surface 25 of the teeth 23 and the traverses 4 of the inclined belt so that the vo.;. 3 and 2 carried pedestrians and loads slide on the teeth 23 and on the upper edge part 18 of the step plate 19. The step plate 19 contains a support surface 27 with a nledsigren horizontal toilet 28 which is aligned with a horizontal extension part 29 which, as shown in FIG. 1, leads to the left to a stationary platform (not shown) the horizontal lower part 28 and the upper edge part 26 of the surface 17 and thus results in a continuous transition between the inclined position on the belt 2 and the horizontal position. The radius of curvature R of the curved smock part 33 is approximately so designed that there is a steady transition between the inclined and the horizontal part, but at the same time the width W of the part 33 w is limited in such a way that a pedestrian crosses the upper edge part 26 and da3 curved part 33 can go by taking a normal step S, as shown in FIG.

In order to facilitate the sliding of the foot of the pedestrian and of the loads from the belt 2 on the step plate 19, the upper support surface 25 of the teeth 23 has a coefficient of friction which is smaller than that of the banat support surface 4. On the other hand, the loading surface 27 of the step plate 19 is patterned or has a rough surface, e.g. made of aluminum carbide particles held in an epoxy resin that is applied to the surface that is treated _{similarly to the surface of the horizontal extension o steep 29.} The loading area of the step plate! Ί9 preferably has a coefficient of friction which is at least as great as that of loading area 4 of belt 2, so that pedestrians who step on this area can take a good grip and take a second step without slipping.

The shoe 34 of a pedestrian on the loading area 4 is shown in Figure 1 c-o that is to erker.nen how the Threshold rake 17 and the teeth 23 the jchun on the step plate lift that it on lie surface 26 dr3 upper edge parta 18 and can slide to the curved central part 33 where the shoe from the inclined position to a horizontal position on the horizontal low part 28 uni de; r. horizontal extension part 29 of the loading area 27 of the step .datieinrichtung 1 is transferred.
