Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an escalator or moving walkway or the equivalents. More particularly, the present invention relates to an outer decking apparatus and a central decking apparatus of an escalator or moving walkway or the equivalents.
  • An outer decking apparatus is an essential component or device of an escalator or moving walkway or the equivalents, which mainly comprises a cover plate and some related components for fixing the cover plate to the base of the escalator or moving walkway.
  • the outer decking apparatus is disposed at the outer side (i.e. the side farther from the passenger of the escalator or walking way) of the panel (normally a glass panel) of the escalator or moving walkway, and is used to cover the components on the base, so that people can only see the smooth cover plate of the outer decking apparatus of the escalator or moving walkway, and thus the escalator or moving walkway may give a pleasing appearance effect.
  • the cover plate of the outer decking apparatus may be easily dismantled from the escalator or moving walkway since the components/parts under the cover plate may need frequent, for example regular, maintenance.
  • the cover plate of the outer decking apparatus can be secured to the base or counterpart of the escalator or moving walkway solidly enough to avoid that for example it is kicked off accidentally by the passenger and thus a safety risk is raised, or it becomes warped and thus its appearance becomes bad.
  • the cover plate of the outer decking apparatus is fixed to the escalator or moving walkway by bolts. More particularly, the underside of the cover plate may have bolts welded or glued on it, for fitting with the bores in the base of the escalator or moving walkway, so that the cover plate may be fixed to the base.
  • Bolt connection has advantageous of solid connecting.
  • the operation of connecting bolts is difficult to be carried out. For example, when mounting the escalator or moving walkway beside a wall of the building, there is a very small space between the escalator or moving walkway and the wall in order to save space or provide better appearance, thus there is no sufficient space for the operator to dispose and rotate the mounting tool, such as wrench. Further, even if the mounting tool may have its operation space, the rotating operation is time consuming and effort consuming since the operator is hard to see the bolts under the cover plate in operation. It is also the case for dismantling the cover plate.
  • the aim of the present invention is to eliminate, among others, the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior-art solutions.
  • an easily mounting and dismantling outer decking apparatus for an escalator or moving walkway which comprises: a cover plate, having a first end part, a second end part opposite to the first end part, and a body part extending between the first end part and the second end part to cover components on the base of the escalator or moving walkway, wherein the first end part is adjacent to the panel of the escalator or moving walkway, the second end part has a flexed part with an angle relative to the body part; a positioning member for the cover plate, having a first end part and a second end part opposite to the first end part, wherein the first end part of the positioning member is secured to the base of the escalator or moving walkway; and an elastic holding member, joined to the cover plate, and forming a clamping means with the cooperation of a part of the cover plate, wherein the clamping means clamps the second end part of the positioning member therein to achieve the mounting and fixing of the cover plate, so that the cover plate
  • the positioning member for the cover plate may be mounted to the base of the escalator or moving walkway in advance when the mounting space for it is still enough, for example, before the base of the escalator or moving walkway is disposed as having a very small distance from the wall of the building.
  • the mounting space becomes very limited, what is needed to be mounted is just the cover plate, and the mounting of the cover plate just needs operation like pressing, without any operation like screwing some bolts or screws, therefore the mounting is very easy.
  • the clamping means formed on the cover plate utilizes the sufficient elasticity of the elastic holding member to closely clamp the positioning member for the cover plate therein, good connection strength is guaranteed.
  • the elastic holding member may be joined to a part, close to the flexed part, of the body part of the cover plate, and forms the clamping means with the cooperation of the flexed part of the cover plate, so that the second end part of the positioning member for the cover plate can be inserted into the clamping means in a direction parallel to the plane of the flexed part.
  • the cover plate may be mounted by pressing the cover plate in a direction substantially parallel to the panel, for example a glass panel, of the escalator or moving walkway. In this situation, even if the escalator or moving walkway has a very small distance from the wall of the building, the cover plate may be easily mounted.
  • the elastic holding member may be joined to the flexed part of the cover plate, and forms the clamping means with the cooperation of the body part of the cover plate, so that the second end part of the positioning member for the cover plate can be inserted into the clamping means in a direction parallel to the plane of the body part of the cover plate. Since the elastic holding member for connecting the cover plate to the positioning member is located at the end part of the cover plate, rather than located at the middle part of the cover plate, the phenomena in the prior art that the end part of the cover plate becomes warped and deformed after the cover plate is mounted and in the later time may be effectively avoided.
  • the elastic holding member may have a fixing part for fixing the elastic holding member to the cover plate, a holding part joined to the fixing part, a clamping part joined to the holding part and a guiding part joined to the clamping part, wherein a distance between the clamping part and the flexed part is smaller than a distance between the holding part and the flexed part, and is smaller than a distance between the guiding part and the flexed part.
  • a distance between the clamping part and the body part is smaller than a distance between the body part and the flexed part, and is smaller than a distance between the guiding part and the body part.
  • An easily mounting and dismantling outer decking apparatus is characterized in that the elastic holding member has a fixing part for fixing the elastic holding member to the cover plate, a holding part joined to the fixing part, a clamping part joined to the holding part and a guiding part joined to the clamping part, wherein a distance between the clamping part and the body part is smaller than a distance between the body part and the flexed part, and is smaller than a distance between the guiding part and the body part.
  • the clamping part and the guiding part together form an arc shape, and the arc opens away from the cover plate.
  • the cover plate may be easily mounted to the positioning member for the cover plate, and by means of the clamping force provided by the clamping part, the cover plate departing from the positioning member for the cover plate may be effectively prevented.
  • the arc shape may be easily fabricated and operated.

  • the cover plate is made from aluminum or aluminum alloy, and the mating snapping part is integral to the body part of the cover plate.

  • the elastic holding member may be fixed to the cover plate through the snapping of the fixing part of the elastic holding member, which may avoid adopting awkward way such as gluing or welding to fix the elastic holding member to the cover plate.
  • the second end part of the positioning member i.a. for the cover plate
  • the second end part of the positioning member may have a bulge part with relative bigger thickness and a clamped part with relative smaller thickness joined to the bulge part, and when the positioning member has been clamped by the claiming means in place, the clamping means clamps the clamped part of the positioning member, and the bulge part may prevent the clamping means from departing from the positioning member.
