Abstract

During an earthquake, escalators are subjected to longitudinal displacement, which may cause excessive movement of a bearing girder out of the supporting area and may result in the escalator crushing down. Securing elements in the form of bolts or ropes are provided to limit the movement of the bearing girder within the supporting area and prevent the escalator from crashing down. When ropes are utilized, they may be securely fixed to fastenings located on a supporting base by the manufacturer. On site, the ropes may be pulled through holes in the provided support and looped over a rope rod. The rope rod is located on a provided bracket. When, in the case of a catastrophe, the provided bracket is unable to withstand the forces, the rope rod is stopped at the hole without the escalator crashing down.
