Abstract

The cover arrangement for covering the balustrade sill or base of a transportion apparatus, such as an escalator of moving walkway equipped with a self-supporting vertically disposed balustrade carrier is elastically fixed to the bottom or sub-structure of the balustrade sill or base by means of pairwise arranged, self-adhesive interlocking strips or bands. For this type of fixing, neither screws or bolts nor welding work is required to be performed upon the cover arrangement, so that no screw or bolt heads are visible and there can be used for the covers or panels of the cover arrangement, without any additional expenditure, the most varied materials and surface properties. Each of the cover arrangements, which are divided into an inner cover or panel and an outer cover or panel, can have their individual covers or panels removed, for maintenance purposes or otherwise, independently of the other cover arrangements and their covers or panels without the use of special tools and can be just as easily re-mounted.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Abdeckung des Balustradensockels einer Fahrtreppe oder eines Fahrsteiges, bestehend aus zwei voneinander unabhängigen Abdeckungen, wovon die eine eine sockelseitige und die andere eine aussenverkleidungsseitige Abdeckung ist, welche je auf einer Seite eines senkrecht stehenden Balustradenträgers angeordnet und aus abgekanteten Blechen und/oder gezogenen Profilen hergestellt sind.The invention relates to a cover of the balustrade base of an escalator or moving walk, consisting of two mutually independent covers, one of which is a base-side cover and the other is an outer panel-side cover, which is arranged on one side of a vertical balustrade support and is made of bent sheets and / or drawn profiles are made.

Bei den heute allgemein üblichen Fahrtreppen oder Fahrsteigen mit selbsttragenden Balustraden, vorzugsweise aus gehärtetem Glas, sind Abdeckungen des Balustradensockels auf der Sockelseite und auf der Aussenverkleidungsseite der Fahrtreppe erforderlich. Im Rahmen von Wartungsarbeiten ist der gelegentliche Zugang zur Basis der Balustrade nötig, wozu Teile der Abdeckung entfernt werden müssen. Es ist somit wichtig, ein besonderes Augenmerk auf die Befestigung dieser Abdeckteile zu richten.In today's escalators or moving walks with self-supporting balustrades, preferably made of tempered glass, covers of the balustrade base on the base side and on the outer cladding side of the escalator are required. As part of maintenance work, occasional access to the base of the balustrade is required, for which parts of the cover must be removed. It is therefore important to pay special attention to the attachment of these cover parts.

Es wurden zur Abdeckung des Balustraden-Sockelaufbaus bereits gezogene Profile mit Schnappvorrichtungen vorgeschlagen, welche keine sichtbaren Schrauben aufweisen und ohne spezielle Werkzeuge und ohne grossen Aufwand entfernt und wieder angebaut werden können. Die Einrichtungen für die Aufnahme dieser Profile sind aber sehr aufwendig und die Profile haben aufgrund ihrer durch die vorangegangene Verformung erfahrene Eigenspannung keine befriedigenden Ergebnisse gebracht. Dasselbe hat sich auch bei verschraubten Abdeckprofilen, bei welchen die sichtbaren Schraubenköpfe durch zusätzliche Klemmprofile abgedeckt wurden, ergeben.To cover the balustrade base structure, already drawn profiles with snap devices have been proposed, which have no visible screws and can be removed and reassembled without special tools and with little effort. However, the devices for accommodating these profiles are very complex and the profiles have not given satisfactory results due to the inherent stress experienced by the previous deformation. The same has also happened with screwed cover profiles in which the visible screw heads have been covered by additional clamp profiles.

Mit der US-Patentschrift Nr. 3,991,877 ist eine Fahrtreppe bekanntgeworden, bei welcher unter anderem auch die Abdeckung des Balustradensockels hervorgeht. Eine Glasbalustrade wird in einem Längsschlitz eines das untere Balustradenende umfassenden Klemmhalters aufgenommen. In einer Anzahl mit der Rahmenkonstruktion der Fahrtreppe verbundener Schraubklemmen wird der Klemmhalter zusammen mit der Basis der Balustrade festgeklemmt. Am oberen freien Ende des Klemmhalters sind auf beiden Seiten, gegen die .Sockelseite und gegen die Aussenverkleidungsseite hin, horizontal angeordnete Längsschlitze für die Aufnahme der Abdeckung des Balustradensockels vorgesehen. Auf der Seite der Aussenverkleidung ruht im einen Längsschlitz ein Lappen eines gezogenen Profiles, welches gleichzeitig die oberen Kanten von Aussenverkleidungsplatten umgreift. Dieses Abdeckprofil ist mit einer nur von der Innenseite zugänglichen, schwalbenschwanzartigen Befestigungsvorrichtung an der Rahmenkonstruktion der Fahrtreppe festgeklemmt. Auf der anderen Seite ruht im anderen Längsschlitz die eine Längskante eines eingeschobenen, abgekanteten Abdeckbleches, welches auf der anderen Längskante durch eine Anzahl in einer gekanteten Längsnut eingezogen angeordneten Schrauben mit dem an der Rahmenkonstruktion befestigten Sockel verschraubt ist.An escalator has become known from US Pat. No. 3,991,877, in which, among other things, the cover of the balustrade base also emerges. A glass balustrade is received in a longitudinal slot of a clamp holder that encompasses the lower end of the balustrade. In a number of screw clamps connected to the frame construction of the escalator, the clamp holder is clamped together with the base of the balustrade. At the upper free end of the clamp holder, horizontally arranged longitudinal slots for receiving the cover of the balustrade base are provided on both sides, against the base side and against the outer cladding side. On the side of the outer cladding, a rag of a drawn profile rests in a longitudinal slot, which at the same time the grips the upper edges of the outer cladding panels. This cover profile is clamped to the frame construction of the escalator with a dovetail-type fastening device that is only accessible from the inside. On the other side rests in the other longitudinal slot, the one longitudinal edge of an inserted, folded cover plate, which is screwed on the other longitudinal edge by a number of screws arranged in a bent longitudinal groove and screwed to the base attached to the frame structure.

Ein Nachteil dieser Abdeckung liegt darin, dass die aussenverkleidungsseitige Abdeckung nicht allein, sondern nur im Zusammenhang mit der sockelseitigen Abdeckung entfernt werden kann, und dass die sockelseitige Abdeckung trotz der abgekanteten Längsnut sichtbare Schraubenköpfe aufweist. Diese im Bereich des Stufenbandes angeordneten Schrauben stellen ausserdem, trotz der in der Nut eingezogenen Schraubenköpfe, ein gewisses Sicherheitsrisiko dar.A disadvantage of this cover is that the cover on the outer cladding side cannot be removed alone, but only in connection with the cover on the base, and that the cover on the base has visible screw heads despite the bevelled longitudinal groove. These screws arranged in the area of the step belt also represent a certain safety risk, despite the screw heads being drawn into the groove.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine kostengünstige Abdeckung des Balustradensockels einer Fahrtreppe oder eines Fahrsteiges vorzuschlagen, welche keine sichtbaren Befestigungsmittel aufweist, elastisch fixierbar ist und bei welcher jede Seite der Abdeckung, unabhängig von der anderen, ohne spezielle Werkzeuge auf einfachste Art entfernbar und wieder anbaubar ist.The invention has for its object to provide an inexpensive cover of the balustrade base of an escalator or moving walk, which has no visible fasteners, is elastically fixable and in which each side of the cover, regardless of the other, without special tools in the simplest Art is removable and can be reassembled.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die in den Ansprüchen gekennzeichnete Erfindung gelöst.This object is achieved by the invention characterized in the claims.

Die durch die Erfindung erreichten Vorteile sind im wesentlichen darin zu sehen, dass für die Abdeckung abgekantete Bleche irgendeines Werkstoffes oder irgendeiner Oberflächenbeschaffenheit ohne Schweissarbeiten einsetzbar sind, dass keine Schraubenköpfe sichtbar sind und kein zusätzliches Profil zum Abdecken von Schraubenköpfen erforderlich ist.The advantages achieved by the invention are essentially to be seen in the fact that folded sheets of any material or surface quality can be used for the cover without welding work, that no screw heads are visible and no additional profile for covering screw heads is required.

Ein weiterer Vorteil liegt noch darin, dass die auf der Abdeckungs-Rückseite und auf der Unterlage angeordneten paarweisen Halteelemente eine elastische Fixierung der Abdeckung gestatten und eine gewisse Ungenauigkeit bei der Befestigung dieser Halteelemente zulassen, ohne dass dadurch die genaue Lage der zu befestigenden Abdeckung selbst beeinträchtigt würde.Another advantage lies in the fact that the paired holding elements arranged on the back of the cover and on the base allow the cover to be fixed in an elastic manner and permit a certain degree of inaccuracy in the fastening of these holding elements without the exact position of the cover to be fastened itself thereby being impaired would.

Auf beiliegenden Zeichnungen sind zwei Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung dargestellt, welche im folgenden näher erläutert werden. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 einen Schnitt durch einen Balustradensockel einer Fahrtreppe mit vertikal angeordneten Halteelementen und

The balustrade support 4 rests in a clamping profile 7 on a round rubber cord 8 and is held together with the clamping profile 7 by a clamping device 9. The clamping device 9 is firmly connected to the substructure of the balustrade base 1, not shown. Between the two covers 2, 3 and the balustrade support 4, a plastic cover profile 12, which is fastened to one leg of the clamping profile, is arranged, which on the one hand comprises an edge of the cover 2, 3 and on the other hand elastically seals the gap to the balustrade support 4. A support plate 11 fastened to the clamping device 9 supports the cover 3 on the outer cladding side and the angled upper edge 6.1 of a plate of an outer cladding 6. Between the outer cladding 6 and a bent leg 3.1 of the cover 3 there is a holding element 13 consisting of two mutually adhering, separable, self-adhesive Velcro strips arranged. The first Velcro strap 13.1 of the holding element 13 is on the outer panel 6 and the second Velcro tape 13.2 attached to the inside of the leg 3.1 of the cover 3. A support profile 10, which is adjustably screwed to a base 5 by means of a welding bolt 14, a washer 16, a spring ring 17 and a nut 15, supports the base-side cover 2. Between this support profile 10 and a leg 2.1 of the cover 2 there is also one of two adhering, separable self-adhesive Velcro strips existing holding element 13 is arranged. The first Velcro strap 13.1 of the holding element 13 is fastened to the support profile 10 and the second Velcro strap 13.2 on the inside of the leg 2.1 of the cover 2.

In der Fig. 2 ist mit 1 wiederum der Balustradensockel der Fahrtreppe bezeichnet. Der Balustradensockel 1 wird durch die sockelseitige Abdeckung 2 und die aussenverkleidungsseitige Abdeckung 3 nach oben abgeschlossen. Zwischen den beiden Abdeckungen 2, 3 ist der Balustradenträger 4 angeordnet. Der Balustradenträger ruht im Klemmprofil 7 auf der runden Gummischnur und wird gemeinsam mit dem Klemmprofil 7 von der Klemmvorrichtung 9 gehalten. Die Klemmvorrichtung 9 ist ebenfalls mit dem nicht dargestellten Unterbau des Balustradensockels 1 verbunden. Die aussenverkleidungsseitige Abdeckung 3 liegt mit dem abgekanteten Schenkel 3.1 satt an einem Distanzblech 22 der Aussenverkleidung 6 an und schliesst auf der anderen Seite mit kleinstem Spiel am Balustradenträger 4 an. Das Distanzblech 22 ist mit den an den Aussenverkleidungsblechen 6 angeordneten Schweissbolzen 14 und den Unterlagscheiben 16, den Federringen 17 und den Muttern 15 am Aussenverkleidungsblech 6 festgeschraubt. Die Aussenverkleidungsbleche 6 sind dabei durch die abgewinkelte, zwischen dem Schenkel 3.1 und einem Stützblech 21 eingeklemmte Kante 22.1 des Distanzbleches 22 fixiert. Zwischen der Abdeckung 3 und einem Schenkel des Klemmprofils 7 bzw. einem Schenkel des Stützbleches 21 sind je ein aus zwei aneinander haftenden, trennbaren selbstklebenden Klettenbändern bestehende Haltelemente 13 angeordnet. Je das erste Klettenband 13.1 der Halteelemente 13 ist am Schenkel des Klemmprofiles 7 und des Stützbleches 21 und je das zweite Klettenband 13.2 auf der Innenseite der Abdeckung 3 befestigt. Die sockelseitige Abdeckung 2 liegt mit dem Schenkel 2.1 satt am Sockelblech 5 an und schliesst auf der anderen Seite ebenfalls mit kleinstem Spiel am Balustradenträger 4 an. Zwischen der Abdeckung 2 und einem Schenkel des Klemmprofils 7 bzw. einem Schenkel eines mittels eines Schweissbolzens 14, einer Unterlagscheibe 16, eines Federrings 17 und einer Mutter 15 am Sockelblech 5 einstellbar festgeschraubten Stützprofils 20 sind wieder je ein aus zwei aneinanderhaftenden, trennbaren selbstklebenden Klettenbändern bestehende Halteelemente 13 angeordnet. Je das erste Klettenband 13.1 der Halteelemente 13 ist am Schenkel des Klemmprofils 7 und des Stützprofils 20 und je das zweite Klettenband 13.2 auf der Innenseite der Abdeckung 2 befestigt.In Fig. 2, 1 is again the balustrade base of the escalator. The balustrade base 1 is closed off at the top by the base-side cover 2 and the outer panel side cover 3. The balustrade support 4 is arranged between the two covers 2, 3. The balustrade support rests in the clamping profile 7 on the round rubber cord and is held together with the clamping profile 7 by the clamping device 9. The clamping device 9 is also connected to the substructure of the balustrade base 1, not shown. The outer cladding-side cover 3 lies with the folded leg 3.1 snugly against a spacer plate 22 of the outer cladding 6 and also closes on the other side smallest play on the balustrade support 4. The spacer plate 22 is screwed to the outer cladding plate 6 with the welding bolts 14 arranged on the outer cladding plates 6 and the washers 16, the spring washers 17 and the nuts 15. The outer cladding plates 6 are fixed by the angled edge 22.1 of the spacer plate 22, which is clamped between the leg 3.1 and a support plate 21. Between the cover 3 and one leg of the clamping profile 7 or one leg of the support plate 21, a holding element 13 consisting of two mutually adhering, separable self-adhesive Velcro strips is arranged. The first Velcro strap 13.1 of the holding elements 13 is fastened to the leg of the clamping profile 7 and the support plate 21 and the second Velcro strap 13.2 is fastened to the inside of the cover 3. The base-side cover 2 lies snugly against the base plate 5 with the leg 2.1 and, on the other side, also connects to the balustrade support 4 with the slightest play. Between the cover 2 and a leg of the clamping profile 7 or a leg of a support profile 20, which can be adjusted by means of a welding bolt 14, a washer 16, a spring washer 17 and a nut 15 on the base plate 5, is again a self-adhesive Velcro tape consisting of two mutually adhering, separable self-adhesive Velcro tapes Holding elements 13 arranged. Each of the first Velcro strips 13.1 of the holding elements 13 is on the leg of the clamping profile 7 and the support profile 20 and each attached the second Velcro 13.2 on the inside of the cover 2.

Die beiden unabhängigen Abdeckungen 2, 3, gemäss Fig. 1, werden zum Befestigen auf dem Balustradensockel prinzipiell gleich aufgesetzt. Jede Abdeckung 2, 3 wird einerseits mit der hinteren Kante auf das auf dem Klemmprofil 8 festgeklemmte PVC-Abschlussprofil 12 und anderseits auf das Stützprofil 10 bzw. auf das Stützblech 11 aufgelegt und anschliessend gegen den Balustradenträger 4 verschoben, ohne von den beiden Auflagen 12, 10 bzw. 12, 11 abzuheben, bis sich die beiden Klettenbänder 13.1, 13.2 des Halteelementes 13 ineinandergreifend festhalten. Damit sich die hintere Kante der Abdeckung 2, 3 besser in das PVC-Abschlussprofil 12 einschieben lässt, kann eine dünne, einen niederen Reibwert aufweisende Hilfsfolie zwischen den Lappen des Abschlussprofiles 12 und der Kante der Abdeckung 2, 3 gelegt werden, oder ein örtlich aufgestauchter Lappen des Abschlussprofiles kann nachträglich mit Hilfe eines Schraubenziehers um die Kante der Abdekkung 2, 3 geführt werden.The two independent covers 2, 3, according to FIG. 1, are in principle placed in the same way for fastening on the balustrade base. Each cover 2, 3 is placed on the one hand with the rear edge on the PVC end profile 12 clamped on the clamping profile 8 and on the other hand on the support profile 10 or on the support plate 11 and then moved against the balustrade support 4 without the two supports 12, 10 or 12, 11 lift off until the two Velcro strips 13.1, 13.2 of the holding element 13 hold together. So that the rear edge of the cover 2, 3 can be better inserted into the PVC end profile 12, a thin auxiliary film with a low coefficient of friction can be placed between the tabs of the end profile 12 and the edge of the cover 2, 3, or a locally swaged one Rags of the end profile can subsequently be guided around the edge of the cover 2, 3 with the aid of a screwdriver.

Beim Aufsetzen eines zweiten benachbarten Abdeckungsteiles können die stirnseitigen Kanten satt aneinandergleiten, so dass eine saubere Stossstelle entsteht.When attaching a second adjacent cover part, the front edges can slide smoothly against one another, so that a clean butt joint is created.

Für die Entfernung einer Abdeckung 2, 3 vom Balustradensockel 1 werden zwei Schraubenzieher zwischen den Schenkel 2.1, 3.1 der Abdeckung 2, 3 und das Sockelblech 5 bzw. die Aussenverkleidung gesteckt und die Abdeckung 2, 3 durch eine Hebelwirkung vom Balustradensockel getrennt.To remove a cover 2, 3 from the balustrade base 1, two screwdrivers between the legs 2.1, 3.1 of the cover 2, 3 and the base plate 5 or External cladding inserted and cover 2, 3 separated from the balustrade base by a lever effect.

Die Befestigung der beiden Abdeckungen gemäss Fig. 2 erfolgt auf eine ähnliche Art. Die Abdeckung 2, 3 wird parallel zu den Auflagen und einige Zentimeter über diesen mit der hinteren Kante am Balustradenträger 4 anliegend hingehalten und dann entlang des Balustradenträgers senkrecht nach unten gefahren. Kurz nachdem der Lappen 2.1, 3.1 der Abdeckung über den senkrechten Teil des Stützprofils 20 bzw. über den senkrechten Teil des Distanzbleches 22 gleitet, greifen die beiden Klettenbänder 13.1, 13.2 der Halteelemente 13 ineinander und halten sich gegenseitig und die Abdeckung fest. Bei dieser Ausführungsart werden keine Abschlussprofile zum Balustradenträger benötigt, dafür sind saubere Stossstellen schwerer zu erreichen und die Demontagearbeiten für die Abdeckungen sind aufwendiger als bei der Variante nach Fig. 1.The two covers according to FIG. 2 are attached in a similar way. The cover 2, 3 is held parallel to the supports and a few centimeters above them with the rear edge resting against the balustrade support 4 and then moved vertically downwards along the balustrade support. Shortly after the tab 2.1, 3.1 of the cover slides over the vertical part of the support profile 20 or over the vertical part of the spacer plate 22, the two Velcro strips 13.1, 13.2 of the holding elements 13 engage in one another and hold each other and the cover firmly. In this embodiment, no end profiles for the balustrade support are required, but clean butt joints are more difficult to reach and the dismantling work for the covers is more complex than with the variant according to FIG. 1.
