Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Balustradenträger, der für die Lagerung eines zum Umlenken eines Handlaufes vorgesehenen Umlenkrades einer Fahrtreppe oder eines Fahrsteiges vorgesehen ist, und eine Fahrtreppe oder einen Fahrsteig mit einem solchen Balustradenträger.The invention relates to a balustrade, which is provided for the storage of a provided for deflecting a handrail deflection wheel of an escalator or moving walk, and an escalator or moving walk with such Balustradenträger.

Fahrtreppen oder Fahrsteige umfassen ein umlaufendes Stufenband für den Transport von Personen oder Gegenständen und ein Fachwerk. Das Stufenband wird entlang seiner Förderlänge beidseitig von jeweils einer Balustrade begrenzt, welche Balustrade auf dem Fachwerk angeordnet ist. An einer solchen Balustrade ist entlang ihres Abschlusses ein umlaufender Handlauf angeordnet.Escalators or moving walks include a revolving conveyor belt for transporting people or objects and a truss. The step band is bounded on both sides by a respective balustrade along its conveying length, which balustrade is arranged on the truss. At such a balustrade, a circumferential handrail is arranged along its conclusion.

US 6,102,186 zeigt eine Fahrtreppe mit einer Balustrade und einem Umlenkrad zum Umlenken eines Handlaufes. Ein Radlager zum Lagern des Umlenkrades ist ausschliesslich an der Balustrade befestigt, so dass die Balustrade selbst genügend stabil ausgebildet sein muss, um die vom Umlenkrad auf das Radlager wirkenden Kräfte aufnehmen zu können. Eine ähnliche Fahrtreppe ist aus der JP2006131376 A bekannt. US 6,102,186 shows an escalator with a balustrade and a diverter wheel for deflecting a handrail. A wheel bearing for supporting the deflection wheel is fastened exclusively to the balustrade, so that the balustrade itself must be made sufficiently stable in order to be able to absorb the forces acting on the wheel bearing from the deflection wheel. A similar escalator is from the JP2006131376 A known.

GB-A-678454 zeigt eine Fahrtreppe mit einer Balustrade und einem Handlauf. Der Handlauf wird in einem Umlenkbereich der Balustrade mittels eines Umlenkrades geführt bzw. umgelenkt. Das Umlenkrad ist an einem Radlagersteher gelagert. Die Verkleidung der Balustrade ist an diesem Radlagersteher befestigt und wird durch diesen Radlagersteher getragen. GB-A-678454 shows an escalator with a balustrade and a handrail. The handrail is guided or deflected in a deflection region of the balustrade by means of a deflecting wheel. The deflection wheel is mounted on a wheel bearing stand. The cladding of the balustrade is attached to this Radlagersteher and is supported by this Radlagersteher.

Die gezeigte Lösung hat den Nachteil, dass ein solcher Radlagersteher äusserst massiv ausgebildet sein muss, um einen störungsfreien Betrieb der Fahrtreppe bzw. des Fahrsteiges zu ermöglichen. Aus diesem Grund weist die Balustrade in Beförderungsrichtung der Fahrtreppe eine relativ hohe Breite auf, was auch zu einem erhöhten Platzbedarf der Fahrtreppe führt.The solution shown has the disadvantage that such a Radlagersteher must be made extremely solid in order to allow trouble-free operation of the escalator and the moving walk. For this reason, the balustrade has a relatively high width in the conveying direction of the escalator, which also leads to an increased space requirement of the escalator.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, einen Balustradenträger zu schaffen, der einen verringerten Platzbedarf der Balustrade bzw. der Fahrtreppe zur Folge hat.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a balustrade, which has a reduced footprint of the balustrade or the escalator result.

Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Balustradenträger für eine Fahrtreppe oder für einen Fahrsteig, welcher Balustradenträger zumindest teilweise in einem zu einer Balustrade gehörigen Umlenkbereich eines Handlaufes fixierbar ist, wobei der Balustradenträger einen Lagerbereich zum Lagern eines Umlenkrades, und einen ersten Befestigungsabschnitt zum Befestigen des Balustradenträgers an einem Fachwerk der Fahrtreppe bzw. des Fahrsteiges, und einen zweiten Befestigungsabschnitt zum Befestigen des Balustradenträgers an der Balustrade aufweist, wobei eine Steifigkeit des Lagerbereiches durch die Befestigung des Balustradenträgers an der Balustrade mittels des zweiten Befestigungsabschnittes erhöht ist. Die Aufgabe wird ebenso gelöst durch eine Fahrtreppe oder einen Fahrsteig mit einem solchen Balustradenträger.The object is achieved by a Balustradenträger for an escalator or a moving walk, which balustrade is at least partially fixed in a belonging to a balustrade deflection of a handrail, the Balustradenträger a storage area for supporting a guide wheel, and a first attachment portion for securing the Balustradenträgers a truss of the escalator or moving walk, and a second attachment portion for securing the Balustradenträgers to the balustrade, wherein a rigidity of the storage area is increased by the attachment of the Balustradenträgers to the balustrade by means of the second attachment portion. The object is also achieved by an escalator or moving walk with such a balustrade.

Die Aufgabe wird ebenso gelöst durch eine Fahrtreppe oder einen Fahrsteig mit einer Balustrade und einem Balustradenträger, welcher Balustradenträger zumindest teilweise in einem zu der Balustrade gehörigen Umlenkbereich eines Handlaufes fixiert ist und einen Lagerbereich zum Lagern eines Umlenkrades, und einen ersten Befestigungsabschnitt zum Befestigen des Balustradenträgers an einem Fachwerk der Fahrtreppe bzw. des Fahrsteiges, und einen zweiten Befestigungsabschnitt zum Befestigen des Balustradenträgers an der Balustrade aufweist, wobei eine Steifigkeit des Lagerbereiches durch die Befestigung des Balustradenträgers an der Balustrade mittels des zweiten Befestigungsabschnittes erhöht ist.The object is also achieved by an escalator or moving walk with a balustrade and a balustrade, which Balustradenträger is at least partially fixed in a belonging to the balustrade deflection of a handrail and a storage area for supporting a guide wheel, and a first attachment portion for securing the Balustradenträgers a truss of the escalator or moving walk, and a second attachment portion for securing the Balustradenträgers to the balustrade, wherein a rigidity of the storage area is increased by the attachment of the Balustradenträgers to the balustrade by means of the second attachment portion.

Die Aufgabe wird ebenso gelöst durch eine Modernisierung einer Fahrtreppe oder eines Fahrsteiges mit einem solchen Balustradenträger.The object is also achieved by a modernization of an escalator or moving walk with such a balustrade.

Es wurde erkannt, dass ein auf dem Fachwerk bzw. auf einem Tragwerk befestigter Radträger sehr massiv ausgestaltet sein muss, weil dieser Radträger alleinig die tragende Funktion für das Umlenkrad zum Umlenken des Handlaufes übernimmt. Dies gilt insbesondere deshalb, weil das Umlenkrad während des Betriebes der Fahrtreppe oder des Fahrsteiges, also während der Bewegung des Handlaufes, Kräften ausgesetzt ist, welche nicht zu Schwingungen der Balustrade führen dürfen. Diese notwendige massive Ausgestaltung des Radträgers hat einen erhöhten Platz- und Materialbedarf zur Folge.It has been recognized that a wheel carrier mounted on the framework or on a supporting structure has to be very solid, because this wheel carrier alone assumes the supporting function for the deflecting wheel for deflecting the handrail. This is especially true because the guide wheel during operation of the escalator or the moving walk, ie during the movement of the handrail, is exposed to forces that must not lead to oscillations of the balustrade. This necessary massive design of the wheel carrier has an increased space and material requirements result.

Um diesen erhöhten Platz- bzw. Materialbedarf zu minimieren, wurde versucht, die auf den Radträger wirkenden Kräfte zu reduzieren. Erreicht wird dies mittels des Balustradenträgers, der einerseits am Fachwerk bzw. Tragwerk und andererseits an einer Balustrade befestigt bzw. fixiert ist, wobei die Balustrade eine Eigentragfähigkeit aufweist. Derart wird die Stabilität bzw. Steifigkeit der Balustrade genutzt, um die auf den Balustradenträger wirkenden Belastungen zu reduzieren. Vorteilhaft ist, dass die Balustrade der Fahrtreppe bzw. des Fahrsteiges entlang ihrer Länge bei gleichbleibender Balustradenstärke sehr schlank gebaut werden kann. Demgemäss ist der Balustradenträger vorzugsweise aus Stahl gebildet.To minimize this increased space or material requirements, it was tried on to reduce the forces acting on the wheel carrier. This is achieved by means of the Balustradenträgers, which is attached or fixed on the one hand to the truss or structure and on the other hand to a balustrade, wherein the balustrade has a Eigentragfähigkeit. Thus, the stability or rigidity of the balustrade is used to reduce the loads acting on the balustrade support. It is advantageous that the balustrade of the escalator or the moving walk along its length can be built very slim at the same balustrade strength. Accordingly, the Balustradenträger is preferably formed of steel.

Eine Weiterbildung des Balustradenträgers weist einen Balustradensteher auf, welcher Balustradensteher zur Stabilisierung der Balustrade vorgesehen ist. Mittels des Balustradenstehers ist es möglich, die Balustrade in unmittelbarer Nähe ihres Umlenkbereiches, also den Transportbereich der Balustrade zusätzlich zu stützen bzw. zu stabilisieren, was eine erhöhte Stabilität des Umlenkbereiches der Balustrade zur Folge hat. Mit Hilfe der Eigensteifigkeit der Balustrade in ihrem Umlenkbereich kann so der Lagerbereich des Balustradenträgers zusätzlich stabilisiert werden. Eine Weiterbildung des Balustradenstehers ist zur Abstützung eines Balustradenprofils vorgesehen. Eine Stabilisierung des Balustradenprofils bewirkt eine zusätzliche Stabilisierung der Balustrade und somit des Lagerbereiches des Balustradenträgers.A further development of the balustrade support has a balustrade upright, which balustrade post is provided for stabilizing the balustrade. By means of the balustrade upright, it is possible to additionally support or stabilize the balustrade in the immediate vicinity of its deflection region, ie the transport area of the balustrade, which results in increased stability of the deflection area of the balustrade. With the help of the inherent rigidity of the balustrade in its deflection area, the bearing area of the balustrade support can be additionally stabilized. A further development of the balustrade stands is provided for supporting a balustrade profile. A stabilization of the balustrade profile causes additional stabilization of the balustrade and thus of the storage area of the balustrade support.

Bei einer Weiterbildung des Balustradenträger sind der erste Befestigungsabschnitt und der Lagerbereich und der zweite Befestigungsabschnitt entlang einer im Wesentlichen geraden Linie angeordnet sind, wobei der Lagerbereich zwischen dem ersten und dem zweiten Befestigungsabschnitt angeordnet sein kann. Ein Trägerschenkel kann entlang dieser im Wesentlichen geraden Linie zwischen dem ersten Befestigungsabschnitt und dem Lagerbereich bzw. dem zweiten Befestigungsabschnitt vorzugsweise durchgehend ausgebildet sein. Mittels einer solchen Anordnung ist eine Steigerung der Stabilität und Tragfähigkeit der Lagerung des Umlenkrades im Lagerbereich erreichbar.In a further development of the balustrade carrier, the first attachment section and the storage area and the second attachment section are arranged along a substantially straight line, wherein the storage area can be arranged between the first and the second attachment section. A carrier leg may preferably be formed continuously along this substantially straight line between the first attachment portion and the storage area or the second attachment portion. By means of such an arrangement, an increase in the stability and bearing capacity of the bearing of the deflection wheel in the storage area can be achieved.

Eine Weiterbildung des Balustradenträgers ist mittels des zweiten Befestigungsabschnittes an der Balustradenwand befestigbar. Alternativ dazu ist der Balustradenträger mittels des zweiten Befestigungsabschnittes an einem bzw. an dem Balustradenprofil der Balustrade befestigbar ist. Bei einer Weiterbildung des Balustradenträgers ist der zweite Befestigungsabschnittes des Balustradenträgers an einem Umlenkbogen der Balustrade befestigbar. Mittels der genannten Anordnungen des zweiten Befestigungsabschnittes des Balustradenträgers kann durch das Zusammenwirken der verschiedenen miteinander verbundenen Balustradenbestandteile eine erhöhte Steifigkeit des Lagerbereiches erreicht werden. Beispielhaft weist der Umlenkbogen der Balustrade in unmittelbarer Nähe des umgelenkten Handlaufes und des Balustradenprofils eine erhöhte Stabilität durch dessen Anordnung an der Balustrade auf.A further development of the balustrade carrier can be fastened to the balustrade wall by means of the second fastening section. Alternatively, the Balustradenträger is fastened by means of the second attachment portion to one or on the balustrade profile of the balustrade. In a further development of the Balustradenträgers the second mounting portion of the Balustradenträgers is attachable to a deflection of the balustrade. By means of said arrangements of the second attachment portion of the Balustradenträgers increased rigidity of the storage area can be achieved by the interaction of the various interconnected balustrade components. By way of example, the deflecting of the balustrade in the immediate vicinity of the deflected handrail and the balustrade profile on an increased stability by its arrangement on the balustrade.

Eine Weiterbildung des Balustradenträgers umfasst einen Bogenabschnitt, welcher Bogenabschnitt entlang des Umlenkbogens der Balustrade anordenbar ist, wobei der zweite Befestigungsabschnitt entlang des Bogenabschnitts des Balustradenträgers angeordnet ist, dass der Balustradenträger mittels des zweiten Befestigungsabschnittes entlang des Umlenkbogens der Balustrade befestigbar ist.A further development of the balustrade carrier comprises an arc section, which arc section can be arranged along the deflecting arch of the balustrade, wherein the second fastening section is arranged along the curved section of the balustrade carrier such that the balustrade carrier can be fastened by means of the second fastening section along the deflecting arch of the balustrade.

Eine Weiterbildung der Fahrtreppe oder des Fahrsteiges umfasst einen solchen vorab beschriebenen Balustradenträger. Mittels der Befestigung der Balustradenträgers an der Balustradenwand oder an dem an der Balustradenwand befestigten Balustradenprofil kann die Eigensteifigkeit bzw. Eigentragfähigkeit der Balustradenwand genutzt werden, um die Steifigkeit des Balustradenträgers zu erhöhen und den Lagerbereich des Balustradenträgers stabiler in der Fahrtreppe bzw. dem Fahrsteig anordnen zu können. Die Balustradenwand der Fahrtreppe oder des Fahrsteiges kann eine Wandstärke von 3 bis 20 mm, vorzugsweise 10 mm bis 12 mm, aufweisen. Eine entsprechend hohe Wandstärke, also auch eine hohe Steifigkeit, der Balustradenwand ermöglicht ebenso eine hohe Steifigkeit des Balustradenträgers bzw. des Lagerbereichs.A development of the escalator or moving walk includes such a balustrade described above. By means of the fastening of the balustrade support on the balustrade wall or on the balustrade profile fastened to the balustrade wall, the inherent rigidity or self-supporting capability of the balustrade wall can be used to increase the rigidity of the balustrade support and to more stably arrange the storage area of the balustrade support in the escalator or moving walk , The balustrade wall of the escalator or moving walk may have a wall thickness of 3 to 20 mm, preferably 10 mm to 12 mm. A correspondingly high wall thickness, thus also a high rigidity, the balustrade wall also allows a high rigidity of the Balustradenträgers or the storage area.

Figur 1 zeigt eine Seitenansicht einer Fahrtreppe 4 mit einem Balustradenträger 2 im eingebauten Zustand. Die Fahrtreppe 4 umfasst ein Fachwerk 8, eine Balustrade 6, einen Handlauf 12 und den Balustradenträger 2. Die Balustrade 6 weist eine Balustradenwand 18.1 auf. Die Balustrade 6 bildet einen Transportbereich 11 und einen Umlenkbereich 10 aus. Der Umlenkbereich 10 der Balustrade 6 ist zur Umlenkung des Handlaufes 12 vorgesehen. Die Balustrade 6 weist im Umlenkbereich 10 einen Umlenkbogen 13 auf. Die Balustrade 6 kann entlang ihres äusseren Randes ein Balustradenprofil 17 aufweisen, welches Balustradenprofil 17 beispielhaft eine geeignete bauliche Begrenzung der Balustrade 6 darstellt. Das Balustradenprofil 17 ist im Umlenkbereich 10 entlang eines Umlenkbogens 13 angeordnet. Im Transportbereich 11 kann die Balustrade 6 entlang ihres äusseren Randes ein Handlaufprofil 16 aufweisen, auf welchem Handlaufprofil 16 der Handlauf 12 geführt ist. Im Umlenkbereich 10 wird der Handlauf 12 mittels eines Umlenkrades 14 entlang des Umlenkbogens 13 umgelenkt bzw. geführt. Im weiteren üblicherweise für einen Passagier der Fahrtreppe 4 nicht sichtbaren Verlauf des Handlaufes 12 kann dieser Handlauf 12 innerhalb eines Balustradensockels der Balustrade 6 oder innerhalb des Fachwerkes 8 der Fahrtreppe 4 geführt werden. FIG. 1 shows a side view of an escalator 4 with a balustrade 2 in the installed state. The escalator 4 comprises a truss 8, a balustrade 6, a Handrail 12 and the balustrade 2. The balustrade 6 has a balustrade wall 18.1. The balustrade 6 forms a transport region 11 and a deflection region 10. The deflection region 10 of the balustrade 6 is provided for deflecting the handrail 12. The balustrade 6 has a deflection arc 13 in the deflection region 10. The balustrade 6 may have along its outer edge a balustrade profile 17, which balustrade profile 17 exemplifies a suitable structural boundary of the balustrade 6. The balustrade profile 17 is arranged in the deflection region 10 along a deflecting bend 13. In the transport area 11, the balustrade 6 along its outer edge may have a handrail 16, on which handrail 16 of the handrail 12 is guided. In the deflection region 10, the handrail 12 is deflected or guided by means of a deflecting wheel 14 along the deflecting bend 13. In addition, usually for a passenger of the escalator 4 not visible course of the handrail 12 of this handrail 12 can be performed within a balustrade base of the balustrade 6 or within the framework 8 of the escalator 4.

Der Balustradenträger 2 weist einen ersten Befestigungsabschnitt 32, einen sekundären zweiten Befestigungsabschnitt 36a und einen Lagerbereich 34 auf. Der Balustradenträger 2 kann einen Balustradensteher 40 umfassen. Das Umlenkrad 14 ist am Lagerbereich 34 des Balustradenträgers 2 rotierbar lagerbar bzw. gelagert. Mittels des ersten Befestigungsabschnittes 32 ist der Balustradenträger 2 am Fachwerk 8 befestigbar bzw. befestigt. Mittels des sekundären Befestigungsabschnittes 36a ist der Balustradenträger 2 an der Balustrade 6 befestigbar bzw. befestigt. Der sekundäre Befestigungsabschnitt 36a kann ebenso genutzt werden, um den Balustradenträger 2 an der Balustrade 6 zu fixieren, beispielsweise zu kleben und/oder zu klemmen. Mittels dieser Befestigung des Balustradenträgers 2 an der Balustrade 6 kann die Eigensteifigkeit bzw. die Stabilität der Balustrade 6 genutzt werden, um die Steifigkeit des Balustradenträgers 2 zu erhöhen, so dass der Lagerbereich 34 des Balustradenträgers 2 bzw. das Umlenkrad 14 stabiler in bzw. an der Balustrade 6 angeordnet ist. Das heisst, dass der zwischen dem ersten Befestigungsabschnitt 32 und dem Lagerbereich 34 angeordnete Teil des Trägersschenkels 3 weniger stabil ausgebildet sein muss bzw. schlanker gebaut sein kann, als das bei einem Balustradenträger ohne einen solchen sekundären Befestigungsabschnitt 36a der Fall wäre.The balustrade support 2 has a first attachment section 32, a secondary secondary attachment section 36 a and a storage area 34. The balustrade support 2 may include a balustrade post 40. The deflecting wheel 14 is rotatably storable or mounted on the bearing area 34 of the Balustradenträgers 2. By means of the first attachment portion 32 of the Balustradenträger 2 can be fastened or attached to the truss 8. By means of the secondary attachment portion 36a of the Balustradenträger 2 can be fastened or attached to the balustrade 6. The secondary attachment portion 36a can also be used to fix the balustrade support 2 to the balustrade 6, for example, to glue and / or clamp. By means of this attachment of the Balustradenträgers 2 to the balustrade 6, the inherent rigidity or the stability of the balustrade 6 can be used to increase the rigidity of the Balustradenträgers 2, so that the bearing portion 34 of the Balustradenträgers 2 and the guide wheel 14 more stable in or on the balustrade 6 is arranged. This means that the part of the carrier leg 3 arranged between the first fastening section 32 and the bearing region 34 has to be less stable or may be of a slimmer construction than would be the case with a balustrade support without such a secondary fastening section 36a.

Der sekundäre Befestigungsabschnitt 36a kann alternativ zur gezeigten Ausführung beispielhaft in unmittelbarer Nähe des Lagerbereiches 34 angeordnet sein, um die Steifigkeit des Lagerbereiches 34 durch eine zusätzliche Befestigung mittels des zweiten Befestigungsabschnittes 36a an einer Balustradenwand der Balustrade 6 zu erhöhen. Mittels des Balustradenstehers 40 kann die Stabilität der Balustrade 6 im Umlenkbereich 10 bzw. in unmittelbarer Nähe des Umlenkbereiches 10 zusätzlich erhöht werden.As an alternative to the embodiment shown, the secondary attachment portion 36a may be arranged, for example, in the immediate vicinity of the storage area 34 in order to increase the rigidity of the storage area 34 by an additional attachment by means of the second attachment portion 36a to a balustrade wall of the balustrade 6 to increase. By means of the balustrade 40, the stability of the balustrade 6 in the deflection region 10 or in the immediate vicinity of the deflection region 10 can be additionally increased.

Bestandteile von Fahrsteigen verstanden werden.The properties or components of the escalators shown within this description can equally be understood as properties or components of moving walks.

Figur 2 zeigt eine Schnittdarstellung durch einen oberen Teil der in Figur 1 gezeigten Balustrade 6, wobei der Schnitt zur Darstellung im Transportbereich 11 der Balustrade 6 ausgeführt ist. Zusätzlich kann die Balustrade 6 eine zweite Balustradenwand 18.2 aufweisen. Der Balustradensteher 40 des Balustradenträgers 2 kann derart zusätzlich verstärkt sein, dass das Umlenkrad 14 gemäss der gezeigten Schnittdarstellung teilweise hinter dem Balustradensteher 40 angeordnet ist. Zur Stabilisierung der Balustrade 6 kann ein Bestandteil der Balustrade 6 mit dem Balustradensteher 40 des Balustradenträgers 2 verbunden, vorzugsweise fest verbunden, sein. Zu diesem Zweck kann das Handlaufprofil 16 und/oder das Balustradenprofil 17 und/oder eine der mindestens einen Balustradenwand 18.1, 18.2 am Balustradensteher 40 fixiert sein. Die Balustrade 6 kann eine hohe Eigensteifigkeit aufweisen, weil die mindestens eine Balustradenwand 18.1, 18.2 beispielhaft eine Wandstärke 19 von 3 bis 20 mm, vorzugsweise 10 bis 12 mm, aufweist. Eine solche Balustradenwand 18.1, 18.2 kann transparent sein. Diese Balustradenwand 18.1, 18.2 kann aus Verbundscheibensicherheitsglas und/oder Zweischeibensicherheitsglas oder Einscheibensicherheitsglas oder aus Stein gefertigt sein. FIG. 2 shows a sectional view through an upper part of in FIG. 1 shown balustrade 6, wherein the section for illustration in the transport region 11 of the balustrade 6 is executed. In addition, the balustrade 6 may have a second balustrade wall 18.2. The balustrade 40 of the Balustradenträgers 2 may be additionally reinforced in such a way that the guide wheel 14 is arranged according to the sectional view partially behind the Balustradensteher 40. To stabilize the balustrade 6, a part of the balustrade 6 connected to the balustrade 40 of the Balustradenträgers 2, preferably firmly connected, be. For this purpose, the handrail profile 16 and / or the balustrade profile 17 and / or one of the at least one balustrade wall 18.1, 18.2 may be fixed to the balustrade post 40. The balustrade 6 may have a high intrinsic rigidity, because the at least one balustrade wall 18.1, 18.2 by way of example has a wall thickness 19 of 3 to 20 mm, preferably 10 to 12 mm. Such a balustrade wall 18.1, 18.2 can be transparent. This balustrade wall 18.1, 18.2 can be made of laminated safety glass and / or double-pane safety glass or toughened safety glass or of stone.

Figur 3 zeigt eine weitere Schnittdarstellung der in Figur 1 gezeigten Balustrade 6, wobei der Schnitt zur Darstellung durch den in Figur 1 gezeigten Umlenkbereich 10 der Balustrade 6 ausgeführt ist. Der Verlauf des Schnittes ist durch die Schnittlinie B-B in Figur 1 gekennzeichnet. Im Umlenkbereich 10 kann die Balustrade 6 mindestens ein Balustradenprofilabschnitt 17.1, 17.2 aufweisen, wobei der Balustradenprofilabschnitt 17.1, 17.2 entlang des Umlenkbogens der Balustrade 6 angeordnet ist. Das Umlenkrad 14 zum Transport bzw. zur Führung bzw. Stützung des Handlaufes 12 ist am Lagerbereich 34 des Balustradenträgers 2 lagerbar und beispielhaft zwischen den zwei Balustradenwänden 18.1, 18.2 angeordnet. Die Balustradenwand 18.1 kann beispielhaft an einem nicht dargestellten Balustradensockel der Balustrade 6 fixiert sein. Die Befestigung des Balustradenträgers 2 mittels seines ersten Befestigungsabschnittes 32 am Fachwerk 8 der Fahrtreppe kann beispielhaft mittels einer Schraubverbindung und/oder Schweissverbindung ausgeführt sein. FIG. 3 shows a further sectional view of in FIG. 1 shown balustrade 6, wherein the section for illustration by the in FIG. 1 shown deflection region 10 of the balustrade 6 is executed. The course of the section is through the section line BB in FIG. 1 characterized. In the deflection region 10, the balustrade 6 may have at least one balustrade profile section 17.1, 17.2, wherein the balustrade profile section 17.1, 17.2 is arranged along the deflection curve of the balustrade 6. The deflecting wheel 14 for transport or for guiding or supporting the handrail 12 can be stored on the storage area 34 of the balustrade carrier 2 and, for example, arranged between the two balustrade walls 18.1, 18.2. The balustrade wall 18. 1 can be exemplified by a not shown Balustrade base of the balustrade 6 to be fixed. The attachment of the Balustradenträgers 2 by means of its first attachment portion 32 on the truss 8 of the escalator can be performed by way of example by means of a screw and / or welded connection.

Zusätzlich zu dem bereits in Figur 1 gezeigten sekundären Befestigungsabschnitt 36a kann der Balustradenträger 2 weitere sekundäre Befestigungsabschnitte 36b, 36c umfassen, um den Balustradenträger 2 an der Balustrade 6 befestigen bzw. fixieren zu können. Vorzugsweise können die sekundären Befestigungsabschnitte 36a, 36c demnach derart am Balustradenträger 2 positioniert sein, dass der Balustradenträger 2 mittels dieser sekundären Befestigungsabschnitte 36a, 36c an einer ersten der Balustradenwände 18.1 der Balustrade 6 befestigt werden kann. Der sekundäre Befestigungsabschnitt 36b kann darüber hinaus oder alternativ dazu derart angeordnet sein, dass der Balustradenträger 2 an einem ersten der Balustradenprofilabschnitte 17.1 befestigt werden kann.In addition to the already in FIG. 1 shown secondary mounting portion 36 a, the Balustradenträger 2 further secondary securement portions 36 b, 36 c include to fix the Balustradenträger 2 to the balustrade 6 or to fix. Preferably, the secondary attachment portions 36a, 36c may thus be positioned on the balustrade support 2 such that the balustrade support 2 can be secured to a first one of the balustrade walls 18.1 of the balustrade 6 by means of these secondary attachment portions 36a, 36c. The secondary attachment portion 36b may be additionally or alternatively arranged such that the balustrade support 2 may be attached to a first one of the balustrade profile portions 17.1.

Bei einer solchen Befestigung mittels des mindestens einen sekundären Befestigungsabschnittes 36a, 36b, 36c kann der Balustradenträger 2 lediglich an jener Balustradenwand 18.1 bzw. an jenem Balustradenprofilabschnitt 17.1 befestigt werden, welche Balustradenwand 18.1 bzw. welcher Balustradenprofilabschnitt 17.1 sich dem gemäss Figur 3 gezeigten Querschnitt auf derselben Seite des Umlenkrades 14 befindet, wie dieser mindestens eine sekundäre Befestigungsabschnitt 36a, 36b, 36c des Balustradenträgers 2 selbst.In such an attachment by means of the at least one secondary attachment portion 36a, 36b, 36c, the balustrade 2 can be attached only to that balustrade wall 18.1 or to that balustrade profile section 17.1, which balustrade wall section 18.1 or which balustrade profile section 17.1 conforms to FIG FIG. 3 shown cross section on the same side of the guide wheel 14, as this at least one secondary mounting portion 36a, 36b, 36c of the Balustradenträgers 2 itself.

Ursache dafür ist, dass der mindestens eine sekundäre Befestigungsabschnitt 36a, 36b, 36c bei einer Seitenansicht der Balustrade 6 auf die Projektionsfläche des Umlenkrades 14 projiziert werden kann. Das heisst, dass eine derartige Befestigung des Balustradenträgers 2 an einer zweiten der Balustradenwände 18.2 oder an einem zweiten der Balustradenprofilabschnitte 17.2 durch die Positionierung des Umlenkrades 14 zwischen dem mindestens einen sekundären Befestigungsabschnitt 36a, 36b, 36c und dem jeweiligen Bestandteil 17.2, 18.2 der Balustrade 6 verhindert ist. Dadurch ist eine Verbindung im Bereich dieser Projektionsfläche sowohl zwischen der ersten Balustradenwand 18.1 und der zweiten Balustradenwand 18.2 als auch zwischen dem ersten Balustradenprofilabschnitt 17.1 und dem zweiten Balustradenprofilabschnitt 17.2 nicht ermöglicht.The reason for this is that the at least one secondary attachment portion 36a, 36b, 36c can be projected on the projection surface of the deflection wheel 14 in a side view of the balustrade 6. This means that such a fastening of the balustrade support 2 to a second of the balustrade walls 18.2 or to a second of the balustrade profile sections 17.2 by the positioning of the deflection wheel 14 between the at least one secondary attachment portion 36a, 36b, 36c and the respective component 17.2, 18.2 of the balustrade. 6 is prevented. As a result, a connection in the region of this projection surface is not possible both between the first balustrade wall 18.1 and the second balustrade wall 18.2 and between the first balustrade profile section 17.1 and the second balustrade profile section 17.2.

Der Balustradenträger 2 kann beispielhaft eine Materialstärke von 10 bis 50 mm, insbesondere 15 bis 25 mm, aufweisen. Der Balustradensteher 40 kann unabhängig davon derart verstärkt sein, dass er im Transportbereich der Balustrade 6 teilweise unter dem Handlauf 12 angeordnet ist. Eine derartige Verstärkung des Balustradenstehers 40 erhöht die Stabilität der den Balustradensteher 40 umgebenden Balustrade 6.The Balustradenträger 2 may for example have a material thickness of 10 to 50 mm, in particular 15 to 25 mm. Irrespective of this, the balustrade stand 40 can be reinforced in such a way that it is partially arranged under the handrail 12 in the transport area of the balustrade 6. Such a reinforcement of the balustrade pedestal 40 increases the stability of the balustrade 6 surrounding the balustrade post 40.

Figur 4 zeigt einen Balustradenträger 2, der im Umlenkbereich einer Balustrade angeordnet werden kann. Der Balustradenträger 2 umfasst einen ersten Befestigungsabschnitt 32 zum Befestigen des Balustradenträgers 2 am Fachwerk des Fahrsteiges oder der Fahrtreppe und mindestens einen sekundären Befestigungsabschnitt 36a, 36b, 36c zur Befestigung des Balustradenträgers 2 an der Balustrade 6. Der Balustradenträger 2 umfasst einen Lagerbereich 34, an welchem Lagerbereich 34 ein Umlenkrad rotierbar lagerbar ist. Der Balustradenträger 2 kann einen Bogenabschnitt 38 umfassen, welcher Bogenabschnitt 38 entlang des Umlenkbogens der Balustrade anordenbar ist. FIG. 4 shows a Balustradenträger 2, which can be arranged in the deflection of a balustrade. The balustrade support 2 comprises a first attachment portion 32 for securing the balustrade support 2 to the truss of the moving walk or escalator and at least one secondary attachment portion 36a, 36b, 36c for securing the balustrade support 2 to the balustrade 6. The balustrade support 2 comprises a storage area 34 on which Storage area 34 a deflection wheel is rotatably storable. The Balustradenträger 2 may include an arc portion 38, which arc portion 38 along the deflection of the balustrade can be arranged.

Der erste Befestigungsabschnitt 32, der Lagerbereich 34 und ein erster der sekundären Befestigungsabschnitte 36a können dabei entlang einer im Wesentlichen geraden Linie 54 angeordnet sein, wobei der Lagerbereich 34 zwischen dem ersten 32 und dem zweiten Befestigungsabschnitt 36a angeordnet sein kann. Ein Trägerschenkel 3 ist entlang dieser Linie 54 zwischen dem ersten Befestigungsabschnitt 32 und dem Lagerbereich 34 bzw. dem Befestigungsabschnitt 36a vorzugsweise durchgehend ausgebildet, um die Steifigkeit des Lagerbereiches 34 zu erhöhen. Ein zweiter sekundärer Befestigungsabschnitt 36c zur Befestigung des Balustradenträgers 2 an der Balustradenwand kann beispielhaft am Bogenabschnitt 38 angeordnet sein. Ein dritter sekundärer Befestigungsabschnitt 36b kann am Bogenabschnitt 38 angeordnet sein, um den Balustradenträger 2 am Balustradenprofil der Balustrade befestigen zu können. Um die Steifigkeit des Balustradenträgers 2 zu erhöhen, kann ein optionaler Balustradensteher 40 mit dem Bogenabschnitt 38 mittels eines Verbindungssteges 41 verbunden sein, welcher Verbindungssteg 41 beispielhaft zur Anordnung in unmittelbarer Nähe des Balustradenprofils der Balustrade vorgesehen ist.The first attachment portion 32, the storage area 34 and a first of the secondary attachment portions 36a may be arranged along a substantially straight line 54, wherein the storage area 34 may be arranged between the first 32 and the second attachment portion 36a. A carrier leg 3 is preferably formed continuously along this line 54 between the first attachment portion 32 and the bearing portion 34 and the attachment portion 36a, respectively, to increase the rigidity of the bearing portion 34. A second secondary attachment portion 36c for securing the balustrade support 2 to the balustrade wall can be arranged, for example, on the arch portion 38. A third secondary attachment portion 36b may be disposed on the arch portion 38 for securing the balustrade support 2 to the balustrade profile of the balustrade. In order to increase the rigidity of the Balustradenträgers 2, an optional Balustradensteher 40 may be connected to the arc portion 38 by means of a connecting web 41, which connecting web 41 is provided for example for arrangement in the immediate vicinity of the balustrade profile of the balustrade.
