Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Fahrtreppe oder einen Fahrsteig, gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The invention relates to an escalator or moving walk, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Eine derartige Fahrtreppe ist aus der US-PS 5,156,251 bekannt. Bei Balustradenscheiben, zu denen Balustradenglasscheiben, aber auch etwaige weitere durchsichtige oder nicht-durchsichtige Scheiben aus anderen Materialien als Glas zählen, ist es erforderlich, das untere Ende der Balustradenscheibe über die gesamte Länge des Fahrsteigs oder der Fahrtreppe möglichst gleichförmig stabil zu lagern. Hierzu ist es bekannt, einen Kanal aus Strangpreßprofil bereitzustellen, der die Balustradenscheibe oder Balustradenglasscheibe einklemmen oder einspannen oder in anderer Weise befestigen soll. Dies kann mittels Schraubbolzenanordnungen, mit Hilfe von Klebstoffen oder mit anderen Arten von Klemmvorrichtungen geschehen. Nachdem die Balustradenscheibe und die Fahrtreppe oder der Fahrsteig vergleichsweise lang sind, ist es bekannt, eine Mehrzahl von entsprechenden Befestigungselementen über die Länge der Balustrade zu verteilen.Such an escalator is known from US Pat. No. 5,156,251. For balustrade panes, to which balustrade glass panes, but also any other transparent or non-transparent ones It counts panes made of materials other than glass required the lower end of the balustrade pane over the entire length of the moving walk or escalator if possible Stable uniformly stable. It is known to do this To provide channel from extruded profile that the balustrade pane or clamp or clamp the balustrade glass pane or fasten in another way. This can by means of bolt arrangements, with the help of adhesives or with other types of clamps. After the balustrade pane and the escalator or the Moving walk are comparatively long, it is known to be a A plurality of corresponding fasteners on the Distribute length of balustrade.

Eine entsprechende Vielzahl von Klemmpratzen bedingt jedoch zugleich auch eine entsprechende Anzahl voneinander beabstandeter Krafteinleitungspunkte, die nicht nur ungewisse Belastungszustände in der Balustradenscheibe erzeugen, sondern - da es sich regelmäßig um Schweißkonstruktionen handelt - zu horizontalem und/oder vertikalem Versatz der Lagervorrichtung für die Balustradenscheibe führen können.However, a corresponding number of clamping claws is required at the same time a corresponding number of spaced apart Force application points that are not just uncertain load conditions in the balustrade pane, but - because they are regularly welded constructions - too horizontal and / or vertical offset of the bearing device for the balustrade pane.

Aus Sicherheitsgründen muß jedoch die Balustradenscheibe fest eingespannt sein, da sie über ihr unteres Ende, das beispielsweise über eine Höhe von etwa 4 cm abgestützt ist, sicher und stabil den Handlauf tragen muß, so daß der Stützbereich der Balustradenscheibe erheblichen Kräften unterworfen ist. Um die Spannungen dennoch im Rahmen zu halten, ist es bekannt geworden, die Balustradenscheibe in relativ kurzen Abschnitten zu teilen. Kurz aufeinanderfolgende Teilungsfugen wirken jedoch dem harmonischen und ästhetisch ansprechenden Gesamteindruck von Rolltreppen mit Balustradenscheiben aus Glas entgegen. Zudem torpediert ein etwaiger Versatz in den Teilungsfugen den Eindruck einer qualitativ hochwertigen Treppe.For safety reasons, however, the balustrade pane must be fixed be clamped over their lower end, for example is supported over a height of about 4 cm, safely and must carry the handrail stably so that the support area of the Balustrade pane is subject to considerable forces. To the To keep tensions within limits, it has become known the balustrade pane in relatively short sections divide. However, short successive parting lines are effective the harmonious and aesthetically appealing overall impression of escalators with balustrade panes made of glass. In addition, any offset in the parting lines torpedo Impression of a high quality staircase.

Aus der US-PS 5,156,251 ist es nun bekannt geworden, den Versatz über sich vertikal und horizontal erstreckende Langlöcher zu kompensieren, die mit einer Schrauben/Mutter-Verbindung je miteinander verbunden werden sollen. Eine derartige Lösung bedingt jedoch eine Vielzahl von Einstellmaßnahmen und erlaubt keine gleichmäßige Spannungseinleitung. Der Grund hierfür liegt darin, daß, wenn die Schraubbolzenverbindung an einer Stelle gelöst wird, um die dort bestehenden Spannungen auszugleichen, gleich die Spannungen an den benachbarten Lagerstellen erheblich zunehmen. Zwar lassen sich die Spannungen insgesamt durch ein wiederholtes Lösen und Festziehen der Schraubverbindungen in einer entsprechend sinnvoll ausgewählten Reihenfolge über den Verlauf der Fahrtreppe oder des Fahrsteigs immerhin vermindern. Dies bedingt jedoch einen enormen Montageaufwand, so daß die Gefahr besteht, daß die Monteure Spannungen in der Balustradenlagerung belassen.From US-PS 5,156,251 it has now become known Offset over vertically and horizontally extending elongated holes to compensate that with a screw / nut connection ever to be connected. Such Solution requires a large number of adjustment measures and does not allow uniform voltage introduction. The reason this is because when the bolt connection is on one place is resolved to the existing tensions equalize, equalize the tensions on the neighboring ones Bearing points increase significantly. The tensions can be reduced overall by repeatedly loosening and tightening the Screw connections in a suitably selected Order of the course of the escalator or At least reduce the moving walk. However, this requires one enormous assembly effort, so that there is a risk that the Installers leave tension in the balustrade support.

Nachteilig bei dieser Konstruktion ist ferner, daß das gesamte Gewicht der Erschütterungen unterworfenen Balustradenglasscheibe allein über die mittels der Schraubbolzenverbindung erzeugten Reibungskräfte zwischen den Langlöchern abgefangen werden muß. Dementsprechend müssen sehr hohe Haltekräfte von den Schraubbolzen aufgebracht werden, mit den entsprechenden Nachteilen hinsichtlich der Materialermüdung, Mikrokorrosion usw..Another disadvantage of this construction is that the entire Weight of the balustrade glass pane subjected to vibrations solely by means of the screw connection generated friction forces intercepted between the elongated holes must become. Accordingly, very high holding forces of the bolts are applied with the appropriate Disadvantages in terms of material fatigue, micro corrosion etc..

Demgegenüber liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Fahrtreppe oder einen Fahrsteig gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 zu schaffen, der auch für lange einstückige Balustradenscheiben geeignet ist, obwohl der Montageaufwand reduziert ist, die Herstellung vergleichsweise preisgünstig ist und sogar eine Anpaßbarkeit an unterschiedliche Balustradenscheibenstärken gegeben ist.In contrast, the invention is based on the object Escalator or moving walk according to the preamble of To create claim 1, which also for long one-piece balustrade panes is suitable, although the assembly effort is reduced, the production is comparatively inexpensive and is even adaptable to different balustrade pane thicknesses given is.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch Anspruch 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.This object is achieved by claim 1. Advantageous further developments result from the subclaims.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Kombination von Fixierelementen mit einer Anpaßeinrichtung ergibt sich der besonderer Vorteil, daß ein Ausgleich etwaiger Versetzungen und Verkantungen möglich ist. Durch die Schweißarbeiten zwischen den horizontalen und vertikalen Trägern ergeben sich regelmäßig geringe Winkelabweichungen. Da die Lagervorrichtungen für die Balustradenglasscheibe jedoch auf eine Schenkelverlängerung der horizontalen Träger montiert sind, wirken sich Abweichungen an der Lagerstelle der Balustradenglasscheibe viel stärker aus als an dem Träger selbst. Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung ist es auf einfache Weise möglich, diese Spannungen auf Null zu reduzieren, ohne daß hiermit ein besonderer Montageaufwand verbunden wäre. Die erfindungsgemäße Trennung von Fixierelementen von einer Justier- oder Anpaßeinrichtung ermöglicht es, zunächst die Balustradenscheibe, die bevorzugt als Balustradenglasscheibe ausgebildet ist, einzusetzen und über ihre ganze Länge auszurichten und dann mittels der Fixierelemente zu arretieren. Durch das Vorausrichten ist eine versatzspannungsfreie Lagerung möglich.Through the combination of fixing elements according to the invention with a matching device has the particular advantage that compensation of any dislocations and canting is possible is. By welding between the horizontal and There are regularly small angular deviations in vertical beams. As the storage devices for the balustrade glass pane however, on a leg extension of the horizontal Carriers are mounted, deviations affect the bearing point the balustrade glass pane much stronger than on the Carrier itself. With the solution according to the invention it is on easily possible to reduce these voltages to zero, without any special assembly effort would. The separation of fixing elements according to the invention from an adjustment or adjustment device allows it initially the balustrade pane, which is preferred as a balustrade glass pane is trained to use and about their align the entire length and then using the fixing elements to lock. By pre-aligning, there is no offset stress Storage possible.

Die erfindungsgemäße Verwendung von Einsatzprofilen, die kostengünstig als Strangpreßprofile auch über erhebliche Längen, wie z.B. 6 m hergestellt werden können, bietet eine kostengünstige Montagemöglichkeit, und erlaubt praktisch eine Art automatische Anpassung der Lagervorrichtung an die Balustradenglasscheibe. Das betreffende Einsatzprofil der Anpaßeinrichtung vermag sich an die Balustradenscheibe anzuschmiegen und somit bei der Fixierung die genau zutreffende Position einzunehmen. Praktisch ist sichergestellt, daß nicht die Balustradenscheibe sich etwaigen Versatzverläufen über die Länge des Fahrsteigs oder der Fahrtreppe anpassen muß, sondern daß die Balustradenscheibe selbst die Anpassung der Lagervorrichtung an ihre Bedürfnisse bestimmt.The use of insert profiles according to the invention inexpensive as extruded profiles also over considerable Lengths such as 6 m can be produced inexpensive installation option, and practically allows one Kind of automatic adjustment of the storage device to the balustrade glass pane. The relevant application profile of the adapter is able to nestle against the balustrade pane and thus the exact correct position when fixing to take. It is practically ensured that not the balustrade pane any offset curves along the length of the moving walk or escalator, but that the balustrade pane itself the adjustment of the bearing device determined to their needs.

Besonders günstig ist es, daß mit der erfindungsgemäßen Lagervorrichtung eine einseitige Einklemmung der Balustradenscheibe an ihrem unteren Ende vermieden wird. Während die bisherigen Lösungen - sei mittels Klemmpratzen, sei es mittels der aus der US-PS 5,156,251 bekannten Lösung mit Keilklammern - keinen Ausgleich zwischen dem oberen und dem unteren Ende der Lagerung der Balustradenscheibe in dem hierfür vorgesehenen U-förmigen Kanal erlaubten, sondern vielmehr je nach Geschick des Monteurs eine mehr oder weniger günstige oder ungünstige Belastungssituation für die Balustradenscheibe erzeugt wurde, erlaubt die erfindungsgemäße Anpaßeinrichtung eine automatische Vergleichmäßigung der Krafteinleitung, so daß die Balustradenscheibe in dem U-förmigen Kanal der Lagervorrichtung an ihrem oberen und unteren Ende optimal gleichmäßig eingespannt ist. Besonders vorteilhaft ist in diesem Zusammenhang die Verwendung eines Schwenkelementes, das gleiche Abstände von seiner Schwenkachse nach oben und unten innerhalb der Lagerstelle der Balustradenscheibe aufweist, so daß die eingeleiteten Kräfte nach dem Prinzip eines zweiarmigen Hebels austariert werden.It is particularly favorable that with the bearing device according to the invention one-sided clamping of the balustrade pane is avoided at its lower end. While the previous ones Solutions - be by means of clamps, be it by means of the US-PS 5,156,251 known solution with wedge clips - none Balance between the top and bottom of the storage the balustrade pane in the U-shaped section provided for this purpose Channel allowed, but rather depending on your skill the fitter a more or less cheap or unfavorable Load situation was created for the balustrade pane, allows the adapter device according to the invention an automatic Uniformity of force transmission, so that the balustrade disc in the U-shaped channel of the bearing device their upper and lower ends clamped evenly is. In this context, the Using a swivel element, the same distances from its swivel axis up and down within the bearing has the balustrade pane, so that the initiated Forces balanced according to the principle of a two-armed lever will.

Die Justiereinrichtung kann gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung zweistückig ausgebildet sein, so daß sich sowohl ein für den Reibschluß vorgesehenes Einsatzprofil als auch ein Schwenkprofil je auf einer Seite der Balustradenscheibe an diese anlehnen. Die Balustradenscheibe richtet beide Einsatzprofile aus, und durch das Anziehen von Fixierelementen werden die Einsatzprofile und damit die Anpaßeinrichtung und die Balustradenscheibe in ihrer relativen Winkel- und Höhenposition zueinander fixiert, ohne daß innere Spannungen eingeleitet würden. Dies eröffnet die Möglichkeit, auch ziemlich lange Glasscheiben als Balustradenscheiben zu verwenden, was insbesondere bei sehr langen Fahrsteigen günstig ist, und zwar nicht nur von der Montage, sondern auch vom optischen Eindruck her.According to an advantageous embodiment, the adjusting device can be formed in two pieces, so that both a intended for friction engagement insert profile as well Swivel profile on one side of the balustrade pane lean on them. The balustrade pane aligns both insert profiles out, and by tightening fixation elements the insert profiles and thus the adapter and the Balustrade pane in its relative angle and height position fixed to each other without internal tensions would. This opens up the possibility for quite a long time Glass panes to use as balustrade panes, which in particular is cheap with very long moving walks, namely not only from the assembly, but also from the visual impression forth.

Besonders günstig ist es, daß der erfindungsgemäße Reibschluß an dem Reibschluß-Einsatzprofil lediglich die Winkelposition der Balustradenscheibe fixiert, also im unbelasteten Zustand keine Reibungskräfte übertragen muß. Reibungskräfte sind vielmehr lediglich dann zu übertragen, wenn beispielsweise ein Fahrgast seitlich an den Handlauf anstößt, und das entsprechende Kippmoment der Balustradenscheibe aufgefangen werden muß. Die erforderlichen Stützkräfte sind demnach ganz erheblich unter denjenigen, die erforderlich wären, wenn das gesamte Gewicht der Balustrade permanent über eine derartige Verbindung abgestützt werden müßte.It is particularly favorable that the frictional engagement according to the invention only the angular position on the friction engagement insert profile the balustrade pane fixed, i.e. in the unloaded state no friction forces have to be transmitted. Rather, frictional forces are only to be transmitted if, for example, a Passenger hits the handrail on the side, and the corresponding Tilting moment of the balustrade pane can be absorbed got to. The supporting forces required are therefore quite substantial among those who would be required if the whole Weight of the balustrade permanently over such Connection would have to be supported.

Ein weiterer besonderer Vorteil ergibt sich daraus, daß durch einfachen Austausch eines Einsatzprofiles eine Verwendung auch unterschiedlicher Balustradenglasscheibenstärken mit dem gleichen U-förmigen Lagerprofil möglich ist.Another particular advantage results from the fact that simple exchange of an insert profile a use too different balustrade glass pane thicknesses with the same U-shaped bearing profile is possible.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist es vorgesehen, daß die Balustradenscheibe unten in dem U-förmigen Kanal für ihre Lagerung elastisch abgestützt ist. Die Justiereinrichtung erlaubt dann zugleich auch eine Höhenfixierung in dem spannungsfreien Zustand, die hauptsächlich gegen Auszug der Balustradenscheibe aus dem der Lagerung dienenden U-förmigen Kanal wirkt. Es versteht sich, daß anstelle der bevorzugten Lagerung auf Kunststoffhülsen, die die als Schraubbolzen ausgebildeten Fixierelemente umgeben, auch eine Lagerung auf einem Vorsprung der als Strangpreßprofil ausgebildeten Lagervorrichtung möglich ist.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the balustrade pane below in the U-shaped Channel is elastically supported for their storage. The adjustment device then also allows a height fixation in the tension-free condition, mainly against moving out the balustrade pane from the U-shaped storage Channel works. It is understood that instead of the preferred Storage on plastic sleeves, which are used as screw bolts trained fixing elements surround, also storage on a projection of the extruded profile Storage device is possible.

Besonders günstig ist es, wenn die beiden Einsatzprofile beidseitig der Balustradenglasscheibe eine gemeinsame Schwenkachse aufweisen. Zwar ist es im Grunde auch möglich, zwei gleichartige Reibschluß-Einsatzprofile zu verwenden, wobei die Schwenkachse beispielsweise auch in der Balustradenscheibe liegen könnte. Bevorzugt ist es jedoch, ein Reibschluß-Einsatzprofil mit einem vergrößerten Radius auszubilden, so daß die Schwenkachse dieses Einsatzprofil jenseits der Balustradenscheibe vorgesehen ist. Dies erlaubt eine noch verbesserte Abstützung über die Fixierelemente, während die Achsenübereinstimmung zur Verhinderung von Innenspannungen auch bei von der Horizontalen abweichend ausgerichteten Lagervorrichtungen beiträgt.It is particularly favorable if the two insert profiles on both sides the balustrade glass pane has a common pivot axis exhibit. Basically, it is also possible to have two of the same type To use friction fit insert profiles, the Swivel axis, for example, also in the balustrade pane could lie. However, it is preferred to use a frictional engagement profile to train with an enlarged radius, so that the pivot axis of this insert profile beyond the balustrade pane is provided. This still allows one improved support via the fixing elements, while the Axis alignment to prevent internal stresses even if the orientation is different from the horizontal Storage devices contributes.

Fig. 1
a section through part of an escalator according to the invention or a moving walk according to the invention, to show the bearing device and the adapter, in a first embodiment; and
Fig. 2
a further embodiment modified from the configuration according to FIG. 1 in a further sectional view.

Wie aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich ist, weist eine erfindungsgemäße Fahrtreppe oder ein erfindungsgemäßer Fahrsteig einen Balustradensockel 10 auf, der eine hier als Glasscheibe ausgebildete Balustradenscheibe 12 trägt. Der Balustradensockel 10 weist eine Lagervorrichtung 14 für die Balustradenscheibe 12 auf, die ihrerseits Fixierelemente 16, 18 und eine Anpaßeinrichtung 20 aufweist. In der dargestellten Ausführungsform sind die Fixierelemente je durch Schraubbolzen 16, 18 gebildet, wobei die Fixierelemente 16 der Einspannung der Balustradenscheibe 12 über die Anpaßeinrichtung 20 dienen. Es versteht sich, daß eine Mehrzahl derartiger Fixierelemente 16, 18 über den Verlauf der Fahrtreppe oder des Fahrsteigs vorgesehen sind, wobei deren Anzahl in weiten Bereichen an die Erfordernisse anpaßbar ist.As can be seen from Fig. 1, one according to the invention Escalator or a moving walk according to the invention a balustrade base 10, which is designed here as a glass pane Balustrade pane 12 carries. The balustrade base 10 has a bearing device 14 for the balustrade pane 12 on, which in turn fixing elements 16, 18 and a matching device 20 has. In the illustrated embodiment the fixing elements are each formed by bolts 16, 18, the fixing elements 16 of the clamping of the balustrade pane 12 serve on the adapter 20. It understands that a plurality of such fixing elements 16, 18 over the course of the escalator or moving walk are, their number in wide ranges to the requirements is customizable.

Die Lagervorrichtung 14 weist ein Strangpreßprofil 22 auf, das über die Fixierelemente 18 an einem L-förmigen Träger 24 aufgehängt ist. Der Schraubbolzen 18 ist zur Sicherstellung einer geringen Bauhöhe mit einem flachen Rundkopf ausgestattet und drehfest in den Träger 24 eingesteckt. Das Strangpreßprofil 22 weist an geeigneter Stelle eine Bohrung auf, deren Durchmesser deutlich größer als der Durchmesser des Schraubbolzens 18 ist. Hierdurch läßt sich eine möglicherweise erforderliche Anpassung an einen horizontalen Versatz sicherstellen.The bearing device 14 has an extruded profile 22, the suspended on an L-shaped support 24 via the fixing elements 18 is. The bolt 18 is to ensure one low height with a flat round head and non-rotatably inserted into the carrier 24. The extruded profile 22 has a hole at a suitable point, its diameter is significantly larger than the diameter of the bolt 18. This allows a possibly necessary adjustment to ensure a horizontal offset.

Es versteht sich, daß anstelle der Aufhängung des Strangpreßprofils 22 an dem Träger 24 über den Schraubbolzen 18 bei einer modifizierten Ausgestaltung das Strangpreßprofil 22 auch auf dem Träger 24 montiert werden könnte. Ferner kann bei Bedarf das Strangpreßprofil 22 noch weiter in der Zeichnungsebene nach links verlängert werden und der Schraubbolzen nach rechts versetzt werden, um die in den Schraubbolzen 18 eingeleiteten Kräfte noch weiter zu reduzieren.It is understood that instead of the suspension of the extruded profile 22 on the carrier 24 via the bolt 18 a modified embodiment, the extruded profile 22 also could be mounted on the carrier 24. Furthermore, at Requires the extruded profile 22 still further in the drawing plane be extended to the left and the screw bolt after are shifted to the right to those introduced into the bolt 18 Reduce forces even further.

Die Lagervorrichtung 14 und die Anpaßeinrichtung 20 sind über Abdeckprofile und Abdeckbleche aus Aluminium und/oder Stahl abgedeckt. Bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 1 schließt sich an ein äußeres seitliches Abdeckblech nach oben ein Abdeckprofil 28 an, das bis zur Balustradenscheibe 12 reicht und dort abgewinkelt und eingeklemmt ist, so daß es dort unverlierbar gehalten ist. Jenseits der Balustradenscheibe 12 ist ein weiteres Abdeckprofil 30 vorgesehen, das in der üblichen Weise eine Schrägfläche 32 sowie auch einen der Innenseite der Fahrtreppe zugewandten Beleuchtungskanal 34 aufweist. In an sich bekannter Weise schließt sich nach unten an den Beleuchtungskanal 34 ein inneres Abdeckblech 36 an, dessen horizontale Position über Justierschrauben 38 zur Erzielung des gewünschten Spaltes zwischen dem Abdeckblech 36 und den Fahrtreppen- oder Fahrsteigstufen einstellbar ist.The bearing device 14 and the adapter 20 are over Cover profiles and cover plates made of aluminum and / or steel covered. In the illustrated embodiment according to Fig. 1 connects to an outer side cover plate up a cover profile 28 to the balustrade pane 12 is sufficient and there is angled and pinched, see above that it is held captive there. Beyond the balustrade pane 12 a further cover profile 30 is provided in the usual way an inclined surface 32 as well as one lighting channel 34 facing the inside of the escalator having. Closes at the bottom in a manner known per se an inner cover plate 36 on the lighting channel 34, whose horizontal position via adjusting screws 38 Achieving the desired gap between the cover plate 36 and the escalator or moving walk steps is adjustable.

Um eine Verkantung der Abdeckung bei Justage über die Justierschrauben zu vermeiden, jedoch dennoch einen bündigen Abschluß des Abdeckprofils 30 an der Balustradenscheibe zu ermöglichen, ist in ebenfalls bekannter Weise ein U-förmiges Ausgleichsblech 40 auf das äußere obere Ende des Abdeckprofils 30 aufgesteckt. Der L-förmige Träger 24 verläuft horizontal und ist auf senkrechten U-Trägern 42 aufgeschweißt. Auch wenn das Schweißen nur geringe Winkelabweichungen nach sich zieht, würden sich diese ohne entsprechende Ausgleichsmaßnahmen an dem Handlauf aufgrund des langen Wirkungsarmes recht stark auswirken. Erfindungsgemäß ist es jedoch vorgesehen, diese Winkelfehler mittels der Anpaßeinrichtung 20 vollständig zu kompensieren. Hierzu weist die Anpaßeinrichtung 20 ein Reibschluß-Einsatzprofil 44 und ein Schwenk-Einsatzprofil 46 auf, die einander bezogen auf die Balustradenscheibe 12 gegenüberliegen.To prevent the cover from tilting when adjusting using the adjusting screws to avoid, but still a flush conclusion of the cover profile 30 on the balustrade pane, is a U-shaped compensating plate in a known manner 40 plugged onto the outer upper end of the cover profile 30. The L-shaped support 24 runs horizontally and is welded onto vertical U-beams 42. Even if that Welding causes only slight angular deviations, would do this without appropriate compensatory measures the handrail is quite strong due to the long effectiveness impact. According to the invention, however, it is provided Angle errors completely by means of the adapter 20 compensate. For this purpose, the adapter 20 has a friction engagement insert profile 44 and a swivel insert profile 46, which lie opposite one another with respect to the balustrade pane 12.

Das Reibschluß-Einsatzprofil 44 weist zur Balustradenscheibe hin eine Anlagefläche 48 auf, die sich - abgesehen von einem Klemmfortsatz 50 für das Einklemmen das Abdeckprofils 28 - über die gesamte Höhe des Reibschluß-Einsatzprofils 44 erstreckt. Die Anlagefläche 48 ist in der dargestellten Ausführungsform jedoch in der vertikalen Mitte unterbrochen und an ihrem oberen und unteren Ende mit insbesondere elastischen Haltestreifen 52 und 54 ausgestattet.The frictional engagement profile 44 faces the balustrade pane towards a contact surface 48 which - apart from one Clamping extension 50 for clamping the cover profile 28 - extends over the entire height of the frictional engagement insert profile 44. The contact surface 48 is in the illustrated embodiment however interrupted and on in the vertical center their upper and lower ends with particularly elastic Holding strips 52 and 54 equipped.

Das Einsatzprofil 44 weist an der der Anlagefläche 48 gegenüberliegenden Seite eine konvexe Lagerfläche 56 auf. Wie aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich ist, ist es nicht erforderlich, daß die konvexe Lagerfläche 56 sich über die gesamte Höhe des Strangpreßprofils 44 erstreckt; bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind voneinander beabstandete konvexe Bereiche 58 und 60 an dem oberen und dem unteren Ende des Einsatzprofils 44 vorgesehen. Diese liegen den Haltestreifen 52 und 54 etwa gegenüber. Die Ausgestaltung mit mittigen Ausnehmungen sowohl in dem der Balustradenscheibe 12 zugewandten als auch in dem von der Balustradenscheibe 12 abgewandten Bereich ist materialsparend und erfüllt dennoch die gewünschte Stützfunktion.The insert profile 44 faces the contact surface 48 Side a convex bearing surface 56. How from Fig. 1 can be seen, it is not necessary that the convex bearing surface 56 over the entire height of the extruded profile 44 extends; in the illustrated embodiment are spaced convex areas 58 and 60 at the upper and lower ends of the insert profile 44 intended. These are approximately the holding strips 52 and 54 across from. The design with central recesses both in the facing the balustrade pane 12 as well as in the The area facing away from the balustrade pane 12 saves material and still fulfills the desired support function.

Die konvexe Lagerfläche 56 weist einen Radius auf, der größer als der Abstand zur Balustradenscheibe 12 ist. Dementsprechend ist die - im wesentlichen horizontal verlaufende - Achse 62, um die das Einsatzprofil 44 schwenkbar ist, bezogen auf diese jenseits der Balustradenscheibe 12 vorgesehen.The convex bearing surface 56 has a radius that is larger than the distance to the balustrade pane 12. Accordingly is the - essentially horizontal - axis 62, around which the insert profile 44 is pivotable, based on this provided beyond the balustrade pane 12.

Die konvexe Lagerfläche 56 ist an einer konkaven Gegenlagerfläche 64 mit gleichem Krümmungsradius gelagert. Die Gegenlagerfläche ist an dem Strangpreßprofil 22 ausgebildet.The convex bearing surface 56 is on a concave counter bearing surface 64 stored with the same radius of curvature. The counter bearing surface is formed on the extruded profile 22.

Das Schwenk-Einsatzprofil 46 weist ebenfalls eine Anlagefläche 66 zur Anlage an der Balustradenscheibe 12 auf, sowie Haltestreifen 68 und 70, die den Haltestreifen 52 und 54 gegenüberliegen. Das Schwenk-Einsatzprofil 46 ist in einer Nut 72 des Strangpreßprofils 22 gelagert, und weist hierzu eine entsprechende ballige Außenfläche auf, die im Grunde der konvexen Lagerfläche 56 entspricht, jedoch einen wesentlich kleineren Radius hat. Über diese Lagerung ist das Schwenk-Einsatzprofil 46 um eine Achse schwenkbar, die bevorzugt mit der Achse 62 des Reibschluß-Einsatzprofils 44 zusammenfällt.The swivel insert profile 46 also has a contact surface 66 to rest on the balustrade pane 12, and holding strips 68 and 70, which are opposite the holding strips 52 and 54. The swivel insert profile 46 is in a groove 72 of the Extruded profile 22 mounted, and this has a corresponding spherical outer surface, which is basically the convex Bearing surface 56 corresponds, but a much smaller one Radius. About this storage is the swivel insert profile 46 pivotable about an axis, preferably with axis 62 of the frictional engagement profile 44 coincides.

Das obere Ende des Haltestreifens 68 weist in vertikaler Richtung einen Abstand zu der Achse 62 auf, der dem Abstand zwischen der Achse 62 und dem unteren Ende des Haltestreifens 70 entspricht. Da beide Haltestreifen auch gleich breit sind, wird die über die Nut 72 in das Schwenk-Einsatzprofil 46 eingeleitete Haltekraft genau zu gleichen Teilen den Haltestreifen 68 und 70 zugeleitet und damit gleichmäßig verteilt.The upper end of the holding strip 68 points in a vertical direction Direction a distance from the axis 62 that the distance between axis 62 and the lower end of the tether 70 corresponds. Since both straps are the same width, is the groove 72 in the swivel insert profile 46th initiated holding force in equal parts Holding strips 68 and 70 fed and thus evenly distributed.

Nachdem es sich auch bei dem Schwenk-Einsatzprofil 46 um ein Strangpreßprofil handelt, versteht es sich, daß eine Vergleichmäßigung der Krafteinleitung über den gesamten Weg der Erstreckung der erfindungsgemäßen Fahrtreppe oder des erfindungsgemäßen Fahrsteigs erfolgt.After it is also in the swivel insert profile 46 Extruded profile, it is understood that an equalization the application of force over the entire path of Extension of the escalator according to the invention or the Moving walk according to the invention takes place.

Das Schwenk-Einsatzprofil 46 weist in dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel an seinem oberen Ende einen Vorsprung 74 auf, der der Lagerung und Abstützung sowohl des Abdeckprofils 30 als auch des Ausgleichsblechs 40 dient.The pivot insert profile 46 has in the illustrated Embodiment has a projection 74 at its upper end on the storage and support of both the cover profile 30 and the compensating plate 40 is used.

Das Strangpreßprofil 22 dient sowohl der Aufnahme der Einsatzprofile 44 und 46 als auch indirekt der Abstützung und Einspannung der Balustradenscheibe 12. Hierzu weist das Strangpreßprofil 22 einen U-förmigen Bereich 76 auf, der aus zwei recht massiven Seitenschenkeln 78 und 80 und einem eher dünnen Mittelschenkel 82 besteht. Der Mittelschenkel 82 wirkt als Gelenk, wenn die Fixierelemente 16 oder Schraubbolzen 16 angezogen werden. Bezogen auf den Seitenschenkel 78 wirkt der Seitenschenkel 80 gegenüber dem gelenkbildenden Mittelschenkel als einarmiger Hebel, wobei der Kraftarm über den Abstand zwischen dem Fixierelement 16 und dem Mittelschenkel 82 und der Lastarm über den Abstand zwischen der Nut 72 und dem Mittelschenkel 82 gebildet wird.The extruded profile 22 serves both to accommodate the insert profiles 44 and 46 as well as indirectly the support and clamping the balustrade pane 12. For this purpose, the extruded profile 22 a U-shaped region 76, which consists of two quite massive side legs 78 and 80 and a rather thin one Middle leg 82 exists. The middle leg 82 acts as Joint if the fixing elements 16 or bolts 16 be attracted. Relative to the side leg 78, the Side legs 80 opposite the joint-forming middle leg as a one-armed lever, the power arm over the distance between the fixing element 16 and the middle leg 82 and the load arm over the distance between the groove 72 and the Middle leg 82 is formed.

Der Schraubbolzen 16 ist in dem in Fig. 1 dargestellten Bereich von einer Hülse 84 umgeben, die beispielsweise aus Gummi, Kunststoff, insbesondere aus einem Elastomer, bestehen kann.The bolt 16 is in the area shown in FIG. 1 surrounded by a sleeve 84, for example Rubber, plastic, in particular made of an elastomer can.

Die Montage der erfindungsgemäßen Fahrtreppe oder des erfindungsgemäßen Fahrsteigs in dem Bereich der Balustradenscheibe erfolgt so, daß zunächst das Einsatzprofil 44 eingesetzt wird. The assembly of the escalator according to the invention or of the invention Moving walk in the area of the balustrade window takes place so that the insert profile 44 is first used.

Über das Abdeckprofil 28 und den Klemmfortsatz 50 wird es in Position gehalten. Das Schwenk-Einsatzprofil 46 wird dann eingesetzt und in den zwischen diesen befindlichen Spalt wird die Balustradenscheibe 12 eingeführt. Während der Montage sollte keine Vorspannung über die Fixierelemente 16 in den U-förmigen Bereich 76 eingeleitet werden, um die Haltestreifen 52, 54, 68 und 70 unbeschädigt zu lassen.About the cover profile 28 and the clamping extension 50 it is in Position held. The swivel insert profile 46 is then inserted and in the gap between them the balustrade pane 12 introduced. During assembly should not be preloaded via the fixing elements 16 in the U-shaped Area 76 initiated to the tether 52, 54, 68 and 70 undamaged.

Die Fixierelemente 16 werden dann leicht angezogen, und die Balustradenscheibe 12 wird exakt in ihrer gewünschten vertikalen Position ausgerichtet. Hierbei verschiebt sich die Lagerfläche 56 gegenüber der Gegenlagerfläche 64 in dem gewünschten Ausmaß, und in der erwünschten, exakt ausgerichteten Position werden die Fixierelemente 16 mit dem erforderlichen Anzugsmoment festgezogen, um diese Position zu fixieren.The fixing elements 16 are then slightly tightened, and the Balustrade pane 12 is exactly in its desired vertical Position aligned. Here the shifts Bearing surface 56 opposite the counter bearing surface 64 in the desired Extent, and in the desired, precisely aligned Position the fixing elements 16 with the required Tightening torque to fix this position.

Aus Fig. 2 ist eine modifizierte Ausgestaltung der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 1 ersichtlich. Gleiche Bezugszeichen weisen hier auf gleiche oder entsprechende Teile hin. Im Unterschied zu der Ausgestaltung gemäß Fig. 1 ist das Reibschluß-Einsatzprofil 44 nicht im Bereich der Balustradenscheibe 12, sondern von dieser beabstandet vorgesehen. Die Balustradenscheibe 12 ist dementsprechend zwischen einer Anlagefläche 48, die unmittelbar an dem Seitenschenkel 78 des Strangpreßprofil 22 ausgebildet ist, und dem Schwenk-Einsatzprofil 46 eingespannt. Das Schwenk-Einsatzprofil 46 ist in gleicher Weise wie bei der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 1 ausgebildet. Der L-förmige Träger 24 weist eine Bohrung auf, die von einem Schraubbolzen 18 durchtreten wird, und zwar auf einem horizontalen Schenkel 85 des Trägers 24. Das Einsatzprofil 44 ist mit seiner flachen Seite auf dem Schenkel 85 gelagert, so daß seine ballige oder konvexe Lagerfläche nach oben weist. Das Strangpreßprofil 22 weist wieder eine entsprechende Gegenlagerfläche 64 auf, und der Radius von Lagerfläche 56 und Gegenlagerfläche 64 ist so gewählt, daß er jenseits des Schenkels 85 - bezogen auf das Einsatzprofil 44 - zu liegen kommt.2 is a modified embodiment of the embodiment 1 can be seen. Same reference numbers indicate the same or corresponding parts here. in the 1 is the frictional engagement profile 44 not in the area of the balustrade pane 12, but spaced from this. The Balustrade pane 12 is accordingly between one Contact surface 48, which is directly on the side leg 78 of the Extruded profile 22 is formed, and the swivel insert profile 46 clamped. The swivel insert profile 46 is in formed in the same way as in the embodiment according to FIG. 1. The L-shaped support 24 has a bore that is penetrated by a screw bolt 18, on a horizontal leg 85 of the carrier 24. The insert profile 44 is with its flat side on the leg 85 stored so that its spherical or convex bearing surface after points above. The extruded profile 22 again has a corresponding Counter bearing surface 64 and the radius of the bearing surface 56 and counter bearing surface 64 is selected so that it is beyond the Leg 85 - based on the insert profile 44 - to lie is coming.

Sowohl das Strangpreßprofil 22 als auch das Einsatzprofil 44 weist eine vergrößerte Bohrung 86 auf, die dem Toleranzausgleich in horizontaler Richtung dienen, und in welcher der Schraubbolzen 18 verläuft.Both the extruded profile 22 and the insert profile 44 has an enlarged bore 86, the tolerance compensation serve in the horizontal direction, and in which of the Bolt 18 runs.

Die Montage der Balustradenscheibe 12 gemäß der Ausführungsform in Fig. 2 erfolgt so, daß zunächst über die Schraubbolzen 16 die Balustradenscheibe 12 eingespannt wird. Die Schraubbolzen 18 werden zunächst leicht angezogen, und erst nach Ausrichtung der Balustradenscheibe 12 zur Senkrechten mit dem erforderlichen Anzugsmoment festgezogen.The assembly of the balustrade pane 12 according to the embodiment in Fig. 2 is done so that first over the bolts 16 the balustrade pane 12 is clamped. The bolts 18 are tightened slightly at first, and only after Alignment of the balustrade panel 12 to the vertical with the required tightening torque.
