Definitions

  • the invention relates to a balustrade of an escalator or a conveyor belt, which consists of a support body, two laterally arranged inward from the support body, formed as a glass pane balustrade sides, each with a movable handrail, an endlessly circulating between the balustrade sides, driven step or step plate belt, an outer lining and at least an outer plinth covering connecting the outer cladding and the balustrade on both sides.
  • balustrades Two main types are used in escalators and passenger conveyors.
  • An older balustrade design variant has outer and inner cladding parts, which are pulled up to the height of the movable handrail and are connected to one another by a handrail cover profile, in which the guide profile for the handrail is integrated.
  • the inner cladding plates arranged on the step side are arranged vertically in the area of the step or conveyor belt, while the connecting plates lying above the handrail cover profile can have a slight inclination or concave or convex arches.
  • balustrade base has an outer, usually horizontally arranged sheet or profile cover in cross-section and an inner one in the area of the step or the conveyor belt vertically and between the step belt and the vertical plates sloping towards the step band sheet or profile covers.
  • FIG. 1 of the German patent application DE 37 09 637 discloses the invention of a multi-function glass pane holder for an escalator balustrade.
  • 1 shows the cross section through a balustrade side with the glass holder according to the invention, with a glass pane carrying the handrail guide and the handrail on the upper side.
  • an oblique cover profile covers the glass holder, which is higher than the upper edge of the step, and together with a vertical panel arranged to the side of the steps form one on both sides of the glass pane extending balustrade base.
  • a disadvantage of this escalator balustrade is that it requires an inner base and an inner base cover on both sides, which means that the overall width of the escalator becomes relatively large with the same step width and the same conveying capacity.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a balustrade for escalators or conveyor belts, by means of which the total width of the escalator or conveyor belt can be reduced with the same step or conveyor belt width or with the same conveying capacity, which allows a saving in base cover parts and which the overall visual impression of a lighter-looking escalator or a lighter-looking conveyor belt.
  • the advantages achieved by the invention are essentially to be seen in the fact that by direct guidance of the steps or the step plates on the vertical balustrade plates, the inner base on both sides next to the steps or the step plates is omitted and thereby part of the total width of the body of the escalator or the conveyor belt can be saved. By eliminating the inner trim parts of the balustrade base, manufacturing costs are also reduced. Another advantage is that no dangerous transitions can occur between the vertical base and an inner, slightly inclined base cover, which eliminates a possible source of danger of trapping accidents.
  • the stepped band of steps that can be entered can be arranged higher than the outer base cover, which means that with glass balustrades, part of the moving step band is also visible from the outside of the escalator, namely in each case the nose area of each step.
  • the potential passenger can already see the escalator in operation and, above all, its direction of travel from a distance; on the other hand, the lower outer balustrade or the reduction in the height of the lower supporting structure creates the visual impression of an easier-looking escalator.
  • each balustrade 1 consists of a left balustrade side 1.1 and a right balustrade side 1.2 arranged next to a circumferential step or tread plate belt 15.
  • each balustrade side 1.1, 1.2 consists of a vertically arranged balustrade plate 2, for example in safety glass with a sufficient glass thickness, a handrail support profile 3, a handrail guide 4 and an endlessly running handrail 5.
  • the balustrade plate 2 is attached to a stable support profile 7 connected by a support plate 8 to a support body 6 by screws 9 and nuts 10.
  • the heads of the screws 9 are recessed in the balustrade plate 2 and have a lining 28 adapted to the recess.
  • the carrier profile 7 also serves to hold the handrail guide 4 in the return area of the handrail 5, to accommodate an outer base cover 11, as a counter-guide 7.1 for the chain rollers 12 of a step chain 14 connecting the individual steps 13 and could in a provided longitudinal channel 7.2 illuminants and translucent cover elements for lighting the balustrade plate 2.
  • the individual steps or tread plates 13 are guided on both sides by a sliding guide 25 directly on the balustrade plate 2 between the left balustrade side 1.1 and the right balustrade side 1.2.
  • step or tread plate chains 14 arranged on both sides to form an endless step or tread plate belt 15, which is folded around upper drive wheels 16 and lower deflection wheels 17.
  • the chain rollers 12 of the step chain 14 run on support guides 26, which at the same time also take up rollers 27 of the individual stages 13.
  • outer lateral balustrade bases 18 with the base covers 11 are arranged deeper than the step or treadmill belt 15, such that the step lugs 19 of the steps 13 or the upper parts of the treadplate are opposite the upper edge of the outer Protect base covers 11 and in the embodiment shown with glass balustrades the movement of the step or plate belt 15 is also visible from the outside of the escalator 20.
  • An outer cladding 23 attached to the support body 6 on both sides and a bottom view cladding 24 attached to the underside completely cover the support body 6.
  • the carrier profiles 7 are fastened to the supporting body 6 in an adjustable manner by the supporting plates 8, so that, in accordance with the teaching, they accommodate the balustrade panels 2, which at the same time guide the step or tread conveyor belt 15 laterally.
  • the balustrade plates 2 are fastened to the support profiles 7 by screws 9 and nuts 10, the countersinks provided in the balustrade plate 2 for receiving the heads of the screws 9 being protected by adapted underlay 28, for example in hard plastic.
  • Slideways 25 mounted on both sides of the steps 13 or tread plates prevent the steps 13 or tread plates from rubbing against the balustrade plates 2.
  • the lower angled part of the carrier profile 7 serves as a counter-guide 7.1 for the chain rollers 12, which carry the step chain or the step plate chain 14 in their endless orbit.
  • the chain rollers 12 roll on the support guide 26, on which the rollers 27 of the steps 13 also run.
  • the upper angled part of the carrier profile 7 carries on the one hand the outer base cover 11 and on the other hand the handrail guide 4 for the return of the handrail 5 within the outer balustrade base 18.
  • a handrail support profile 3 which deviates from the plate axis is provided on the balustrade plates 2 in advance.
  • the longitudinal channel 7.2 gives the possibility of illuminating the balustrade from the outer balustrade base 18.
  • step belt 15 in escalators 20 and the step plate belt in passenger conveyor belts are arranged offset with respect to the outer balustrade base 18, the step lugs 19 visible from the outside or the upper parts of the step plates could be additionally illuminated and illuminated in the case of glass balustrades. This shows the possible passenger even more clearly from the distance in which direction the step belt 15 or the plate belt is moving and which direction he must take to reach a lower or a higher floor.
