Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented'nec. 15, 190s.
Application filed April 10, 1995, Serial No. 254,622. Renewed May 21, 1908. Serial No. 434,163.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that l, CHARLES D. SEMER- GER, a citizen oi the United States, residing at Yonkers, in the county of Westchester and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Conveyors,`
transporting runs connecting successive lev-l els, t e arrangement being such thatthe exit landing of each run is located at the same end as the entrance'landing of the succeeding run.
' 'The invention consists of the novel organizations and arrangements of parts, which are hereinafter more particularly described and then pointed out in the appended claims.
ln the accompanying drawings-Figure 1 is a diagrammatic view of the system of conveyers arranged in accordance with my in-` vention; Fig.' 2 is a plan view partiallyillus-` trating the construction at one of the intermediate levels; and` Figs. 3, 4 and 5 are side, plan and end views respectively of the drivlng means. V
In the present instance I have shown the system providing runs between six levels, 1,
2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 indicating the iloors of va building or successive levels of any other structure.
In Fig. 1, the numerals 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 indicate the conveyors of the series, all of such conveyors being in the form of endless carriers and having their transporting runs 12 either ascending or descending. The altornato conveyers 7, 9 and 11 are arranged in vertical alinement, that, is in one vertical plane, while the conveyors 8 and 10, which alternate with the conveyers 7, 9 and 11, are located one over the other and in a vertical plane complementary to the plane of the conveyors 7, 9 and 11. The arrangement is such that the alternate runs are on the same side of a median line, as shown in Fig. 2, the conveyors 7, 9 and 11 being on one side and the conveyors S and 10 on the other.
` .its clearly shown and as viewed in side elevation the s eries of conveyers present a zigzag appearance, that is to say the conveyers 7, Qand 11 extend at substantially the same angle of inclination while the conveyors 8v and 10 are inclined in an opposite direction, that is, one end of the conveyor 8 extends .from
floor 2 at a point opposite the end of conveyer 7 to a point opposite the end 'of conveyer 9 'at floor 3, an the conveyor 10 extends from points opposite the ends of conveyers 9 and 11, .at floors 4 and 5, respectively. ln the present instance I have shown a series of conveyors providing ascending transporting runs, altho h it is to be understood the series may be riven in the oppoporting runs. In either case all of the units of the system carry or transport in the same general direction, i. e., either up or down. Each conveyor isV rovided with an entrance landing 13 at the evel from which its transporting run originates and an exit landing 14 at the level at which such run terminates.
site direction" to provide descending trans- At each intermediate level the landings 13 y and 14 are laterally opposite each other. In other words, the exit anding of each run is located at the same end of the run as and at a point opposite to the entrance landing of the i described there is substantial continuity of ascent or descent as the case may be, the passenger on leaving one run, as 7 for example, having merely to step across to a point laterally o posite the landin from w just a ighted to get on t e entrancelanding of the succeeding run 8. This arrangement.
of the landings continues throughout the series.
The conveyersl may be provided with hand-rails or balustrades 15 of any suitable character, and the exit landings 13 may be provided with suitable shunts 16. The conveyers may be of any suitable or referred type, and in the present instance gn'ders 17, extending between the successive iloors provide a supporting structure Jfor the system.l Each conveyor is preferably composed of a ich he has' series of steps connected at their ends by f suitable chains 18 and adapted lto form horizontal landing portions at the levels and an inclined intermediate ortion.
l provide a drive or each pair of conveyors, it being of course understood that all the drives may be tied together. A suitable drive is shown in Figs. 3, 4 and 5, and is ada ted to be located at an intermedia-te lan ing for service with a pair oi conveyers. The drive shaft 19 is driven b a suitable motor 20, and is provided wit a pair of 'moving in the same general driving sprockets 21 which mesh with the chains 1S ofthe conveyer 8, the arrangement preferably being such that the sprockets cooperate with the chains on their descending portion or-run. The shaft is provided with a spur-gear 22 which meshes with a corresponding spur-gear 23 on a suitably supported shaft 24 adapted to drive the con-- veyer 7. The shait 24 carries driving s rockets 25 which mesh with the chains of t e lower conveyer 7 and preferably on the descending run or portion thereol", as shown. The drive is preferably located beyond the line of divergence of the associated pair oi conveyers, although it is obvious that it may be llocated on the other side of the line in 'which case the oppositely driven shafts i9 vseries of conveyers between successive pairs of levels providing runs moving in the same generall direction and having entrance and exit landings, the exit landing of each run at each intermediate level being laterally opposite the entrance landing of the succeeding run.
3. Ina 'device of the class described, a series of conveyers betweensuccessive pairs of levels providing transporting runs moving in the same general direction and having entrance and eXit landings, the exit landing of each run being located at the same end as the entrance landing of the succeeding run.

5. In a deviceof the class described, a series of conveyers arranged vin zig-zag formation and providing trans orting runs irection and having entrance and exit landings, the alternate conveyersbein disposed in parallel vertical planes, and t e exit landing of each run being opposite the entrance landing of the succeeding run.

In .a device of the class described, a series of conveyers between successive pairs of levels providing runs, the exits and entrances of which at intermediate levels are laterally opposite cach other, and a drive common tothe vconveyers at such intermediate level.

In a device of the class described, a series of conveyers between successive pairs of levels providing transporting runs having entrance and exit landings, the exit landing of each run being located at the same end as the entrance landing of the succeeding run, and a common drive for a plurality of conveyers.

In a device of the class described, a series of conveyers 'arranged in zig-zag 'formation vand providing transporting runs having entrance and exit landings, the exit landing of each run being opposite to the entrance landing of the lsucceeding run, and hand-rails associated with the conveyers. i
