Abstract

PURPOSE:To use a part having passed under an outward road for a return road as a sidewalk by using a belt which can be folded up near a center line as the belt used in the case where a wide width belt system moving sidewalk is turned up in order to make it go and return. CONSTITUTION:A belt formed of two sheets of belts which have width being a half of required width and are foldably joined to obtain a required width is used for the wide width belt 1 of a belt system moving sidewalk. The belt 1 has a base board layer 12 and a surface layer 11, which are mutually laminated to form the belt 1, and the base board layers 12 are joined through the surface layer 11 in a part near a center line, and made foldable with the surface layer 11 taken as a center. The belt 1 advancing in a direction 9a shown with an arrow is bent downward by a roll 5, and after passing double rolls 2, 3, passes through a V-shaped small double roll 4a to be folded, and is completely folded up by a small double roll 4b, and after turning around a large roll 6, passes a small double roll 4c, and is returned to the original wide width belt by double rolls 2', 3' and advanced as a return path belt.

2. Description of the Related Art Regarding the U-turn of a belt-type moving walkway of ordinary width, as described in Japanese Patent Application No. 5-33904, the walking belt which is moving horizontally is forced a little after passing through the horizontal double rolls. , There is a method of making a U-turn through several rolls, but in the case of a wide belt moving sidewalk, the above method was not possible.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] How to smoothly make a U-turn on a moving sidewalk using a wide belt.

[0004]

As a means for solving this problem, the structure of the belt is described in (claim 1) and the mechanism of the U-turn is described in (claim 2) as the means. Belt In addition, it has a required width. The attached drawing (FIG. 3) is an enlarged view of the portion of the belt 1. Reference numeral (10) indicates a seam, which is composed of a substrate layer (12) and a surface layer (11) and is laminated on each other. The layer (12) is joined by the surface layer (11) near the center line, and since the surface layer is elastic, it can be bent around the center line and completely folded. Also, as a joining method, there is a chuck type or a butterfly type, but in any case, it is bent at the center line and can be completely folded. It can also be bent.

The mechanism of the U-turn will be described with reference to the attached drawing (FIG. 1), which shows an example of this mechanism.
The belt (1), which has proceeded in the direction of the arrow (9a), is bent downward by the roll (5), passes through the compound rolls (2, 3), and then guides the V-shaped small compound roll (4a). It is completely folded by the small rolls (4b) and then passes through the small rolls (4c) surrounding the large rolls (6), and the original rolls are spread by the double rolls (2 ', 3'). Return to Ruto and proceed as a return belt on a moving sidewalk.

Instead of the large roll mentioned above, several small rolls may be used, or a semi-cylindrical guide as shown in FIG. 2 may be used. The folding direction may be downward.

[0007]

According to the present invention, in the conventional moving sidewalk, the belt for the sidewalk is used only on the outward path. However, according to the present method, the portion which has passed directly under the outward path is also used for the sidewalk on the return path. Since it can be used for, it can be expected to be twice as economical as a moving walkway.

Claims (2)

[Claims] 1. A wide-belt type moving walkway belt characterized by being folded near the center line as a belt used when making a U-turn to reciprocate a wide-belt type moving walkway. . 2. When a wide belt type moving walkway makes a U-turn, the belt of (claim 1) passes through the first double roll and then gradually bends through several guide rolls, and gradually becomes complete. A wide-belt type U-turn mechanism for moving walkways that is folded back to make a U-turn, and then gradually opens to pass through the next multiple rolls to return to the original wide belt.
