Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable outdoor disposition and attain the efficiency of an occupied space by installing a curved conveyor along the outer wall of a building. CONSTITUTION:A building 1 has an outer peripheral wall of the radius-of- curvature R, and passengers are transported between a lower floor 3 and an upper floor 4, that is, the floor height H, by a passenger conveyor 5. One side face of this conveyor 5 has a curve described along the radius of curvature R, and the stairs 6, body frame 7 and outer plate 8 are extended in the state of being wound to the outer peripheral wall 2. The body frame 7 is placed, at several longitudinal places, on a cross beam 1A protruding from the building 1 so as to bear the weight of the passengers and equipment. Since the passenger conveyor is thus disposed making use of the outer peripheral wall of the building, outdoor installation becomes possible, and therefore the efficiency of an occupied space can be attained. Also a supporting column erected on the lower side of the passenger conveyor can be dispensed with so as to enable the effective use of the space, and a fine view can be maintained because of the cross beam together with the body frame being covered with the outer plate.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for arranging a curved passenger conveyor installed along a cylindrical outer peripheral wall of a building.

0002

[Prior Art] The conventional device is
As disclosed in the above publication, a curved passenger conveyor that transports passengers between floors within a building is known, and there are vertical pillars supporting the bottom of the conveyor at several locations to bear the load.

0003

The above-mentioned prior art is a curved passenger conveyor for transporting passengers between floors within a building, and cannot be said to be a technology that meets the recent needs for a means of free movement in outdoor spaces. Furthermore, this conventional example has problems such as obstructing visibility due to the large number of vertical columns to support the weight of passengers and equipment, spoiling the architectural beauty, and wasting space occupied by the vertical columns themselves. It had become.

It is an object of the present invention to provide an aesthetically pleasing and space-efficient load-carrying method by arranging a curved passenger conveyor along a circumferential outer peripheral wall, taking advantage of its mechanism.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above objects, the present invention arranges a curved passenger conveyor along a circumferential outer wall. Therefore, it is possible to perform the function under outdoor installation conditions. In addition, since the bottom of this curved passenger conveyor is supported by a cross beam that protrudes outward from the outer wall of the building, the space directly below this passenger conveyor can be effectively used for other purposes. The overall appearance is improved because the cross beams are covered with the passenger conveyor's exterior panels.

[0006]

[Operation] By installing the curved passenger conveyor of the present invention along the outer wall of a building, it can be installed outdoors and the occupied space can be made more efficient. Additionally, vertical support columns are not required, and the exterior panels are configured to cover the main body frame and cross beams, improving the overall appearance.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows a sectional view taken along line II--II in FIG. 1. In the figure, a building 1 forms an outer peripheral wall 2 with a radius of curvature R, and a curved passenger conveyor 5 transports passengers between a floor height H of a lower floor 3 and an upper floor 4 of this building 1. This curved passenger conveyor 5
One side of the step draws a curve along the radius of curvature R, and the step 6,
A main body frame 7 and an exterior plate 8 extend to wrap around the outer peripheral wall 2. Here, the main body frame 7 is placed on cross beams 1A projecting laterally from the building 1 at several locations (two locations in FIG. 1) in its longitudinal direction to bear the weight of passengers and equipment. The horizontal beam 1A is fixed to the vertical column 1B of the building 1 to maintain its strength. On the other hand, the main body frame 7 and the cross beam 1A are covered both on the outside and on the bottom side by an exterior plate 8 that covers the outside of the curved passenger conveyor 5.

[0008] In the present invention, since the passenger conveyor is arranged by utilizing the outer circumferential wall of the building, it can be installed outdoors, and as a result, the efficiency of occupied space can be improved. Furthermore, there is no need for an upright support column on the underside of this passenger conveyor, making effective use of space possible.Furthermore, since the cross beam is covered with an exterior plate along with the main body frame, the aesthetic appearance is improved.

[0009]

According to the present invention, the curved passenger conveyor is arranged along the circumferential outer peripheral wall of the building, so that its functions can be maximized and it is most suitable for outdoor installation. Also,
This allows for an aesthetically pleasing and space-efficient arrangement.
