Definitions

  • the invention relates to an escalator or moving walk with a handrail and a finger guard contact panel having handrail inlet, a handrail inlet for such an escalator and a method to reduce a gap in the handrail inlet, according to the definition of the independent claims.
  • escalator includes moving walkways and the term step also includes moving walkway pallets.
  • the steps of a conventional escalator are attached to two transport chains and together with these form an endless, revolving step band, which runs over a pair of transport sprockets at both ends of the escalator, one transport sprocket pair belonging to the drive station and driving and deflecting the step belt and the other Sprocket pair is part of a step-band diverter station.
  • the individual steps of the step belt are equipped with two front and two rear guide rollers on which the steps are guided by guiding and deflection curves, which are fastened predominantly to the supporting structure of the escalator, in position-dependent defined position.
  • the handrails For escalators or moving walks, the handrails must be moved in accordance with the regulations synchronously or almost synchronously with the step or pallet belt.
  • the flow of the handrails opposite the step belt can amount to a maximum of 10%.
  • the handrails consist of endless rubber or plastic bands provided with tension members and reinforcements, having a C-shaped cross-section and sliding on specially shaped handrail guide profiles. Other materials can be used.
  • balustrades made of safety glass While in the past closed steel sheet balustrades were common, which are wide and bulky, balustrades made of safety glass have become more and more prevalent in recent times. These glass balustrades enable a sleeker and lighter-looking construction without compromising the required stability.
  • a clamping plate is placed on a balustrade forming glass plate, which supports the handrail via roller bearings and serves as a sliding guide.
  • the clamping plate extends each U-shaped towards the ends of the C-shaped cross section of the handrail.
  • the handrail inlet is an opening in the balustrade through which the endless handrail is passed to be returned.
  • Such a gap or air gap is a security risk. Due to the double-sided game, the gap width can reach the finger thickness, so that a finger grip, straight in children, and thus the risk of bruising and other injuries to the passenger is not excluded.
  • Another escalator is also off GB-A-2166703 known.
  • the invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide an escalator or a moving walk according to the preamble of claim 1, which allows an improved safety engagement with ease of manufacture and longer life and which has a stable and dimensionally stable engagement protection.
  • the finger guard contact panel is the area of the escalator which has an opening which guides the handrail.
  • bristles that are odd in the longitudinal direction and have a wave structure. This is in contrast to the conventional bristles used for the escalators, which are straight in the longitudinal direction.
  • the wave structure increases the mechanical strength of the posts and allows a better distribution of the forces exerted by the handrail or the hands of the passengers.
  • the wave structure stabilizes the bristles against bending obliquely to the longitudinal axis compared to the straight bristles. If the straight bristles are pressed in the longitudinal axis, they bend and can no longer exert any counterforce. In contrast, the wavy bristles absorb the pressure in the longitudinal axis as spring tension stored in the shafts, the bristles maintain their alignment and are not bent.
  • the invention represents a significant improvement of the handrail inlet and the handrail insertion, because the Fingerschutz.blende is equipped with wavy bristles.
  • the Fingerschutz.ende is executed in this new invention with wavy bristles.
  • the ends of the bristles exert on the passenger, should this once with his fingers in the area, sensory stimuli from such that it involuntarily withdraws his hand quickly and is protected from the risk of pinching and crushing.
  • the sensory stimuli generated by the corrugated bristles on pressure are stronger than those produced by the straight bristles thanks to their higher mechanical stability, as the wavy bristles can not easily be bent about their longitudinal axis.
  • the end of the bristles is rounded. This is advantageous because the risk of injury to the passengers' fingers upon contact with the bristles is reduced. When touching such bristles cause no wounds or injuries to the passenger.
  • the corrugated bristles substantially reduce the gap between the handrail and the finger guard contact panel. This is advantageous because the risk of a finger of a passenger entering the air gap is further reduced.
  • the handrail inlet is attached to an end cap, which is attached to the balustrade.
  • a handrail inlet for escalators or moving walks has a finger guard contact panel with corrugated bristles.
  • the gap between the handrail and the FingerschutzANDblende a handrail inlet of an escalator or a moving walk is significantly reduced by wavy bristles. This is advantageous because a conventional escalator can be modernized and further reduces the risk of a passenger's finger penetrating the air gap between the handrail and the finger guard contact panel.
  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic arrangement of an escalator.
  • Fig. 2 shows the area of the handrail inlet of the escalator in detail.
  • Fig. 3 shows the handrail inlet.
  • Fig. 4 shows the finger guard contact panel.
  • Fig. 1 the most essential components of an escalator 1 are shown schematically.
  • a revolving, endless step belt is integrated, which is driven by a drive unit via a transport chain drive wheels unit.
  • Fig. 1 one sees an escalator 1 with a glass balustrade 2 as well as a handrail 3 and a truss 4 as well as a detail A and a second detail A 'which locate the finger guards 6 in the escalator.
  • Fig. 2 one sees the detail A and / or the second detail A ', which shows the handrail inlet 5 with the finger protection contact panel 6.
  • FIG. 3 one sees the detail A enlarged, which shows the Fingerschutz brieflyblende 6 and the handrail 3 and the wavy bristles 8 plus the front (front) plates or front cap 7.
  • a gap or air gap 9 is present between the handrail 3 and the finger guard contact panel 6.
  • the Fingerschutzfulnessende 6 wavy bristles 8, which are characterized by a better dimensional stability, a higher mechanical strength and a longer life than that of the straight bristles.
  • the end of the bristles is rounded. That is advantageous because of the danger of a Damage to the fingers of passengers on contact with the bristles is reduced.
  • the finger guard contact panel 6 performs several tasks simultaneously. It prevents the ingress of foreign elements: newspaper pieces, plastic parts, pebbles, garment fibers and coarse dirt, as well as snow and ice.
  • the finger guard contact panel forms the optical termination of the escalator or the moving walk to the glass balustrade 2.
  • the corrugated bristles by their density significantly reduce the gap or air gap 9 between the running, driven handrail 3 and the Fingerschutzmasster 6, whereby the risk of penetration of a finger of a passenger in the gap or air gap 9 is further reduced.
  • corrugated bristles 8 and their density gives better privacy, which is the shrinkage or disappearance of the driven handrail 3 in the front (front) plates or front caps or end caps 7 perfectly hides or envelops.
  • the handrail inlet or the handrail inlet 5 is normally hidden and not visible to the eyes of the passengers or users of the escalator or the moving walk 1.
