Definitions

  • the invention herein described relates to a temporary or permanent platform for use, preferably but not exclusively, at or between public transport stations to provide platform access.
  • An efficient public transport system is desirable since it is a cost effective means to move people and/or freight within and between cities and countries. Additionally, from an environmental aspect, it is also desirable to encourage road users to utilise public transport rather than use automobiles. This effectively decreases pollution and thereby increases air quality.
  • Integrated Rail Systems have an extensive infrastructure (i.e. the lines that the trains run on, the signals that control train movement and the stations that provide locations for passengers and freight to embark and disembark. It is essential to ensure that the rail lines and stations are maintained to provide safe transport for its customers, and freight. In the time in which Rail Systems have been in existence, the growth in terms of passengers and freight has required significant expansion and modernisation.
  • Expansion requires construction of permanent or semi-permanent rail stations between major main-line stations for more efficient public transport providing more stops.
  • a platform adapted to be constructed at a selected site comprising at least one selectively sized and shaped standing part having at least one support means whereby said support means provides a variable height adjustment to said standing part and further whereby said standing part is at least partially slideably engaged to provide a standing surface which is adapted to be at least partially continuous.
  • the present invention provides of a permanent/semi-permanent or temporary platforms which can be constructed speedily, cost effectively and at a ' selected site, without the need to build a dedicated station or foundation to provide means by which the public wishing to use a transport system may connect with major public transport systems.
  • the freestanding platform would be provided with items that one would be associate with main-line stations, for example and not by way of limitation, drainage, lighting, handrails, steps, toilets, shelters.
  • the platform may be free standing or continuous with an exisiting structure, having a dedicated access from said existing structure
  • the platform may be a temporary platform adapted for use in association with an existing platform to be repaired, comprising at least one selectively sized and shaped standing part having at least one support means whereby said support means provides a variable height adjustment to said standing part and further whereby said standing part is at least partially slideably engaged to provide a standing surface which is adapted to be least partially continuous.
  • the standing surface may therefore be adapted to project or protrude a desired amount from an existing platform to be repaired, preferably to the extent to which the existing platform has been dismantled for reconstruction, and more preferably to provide safe access to a public transport means.
  • the platform may be adapted to provide temporary, permanent or at least a semi permanent standing surface.
  • the platform may provide means to secure it in place in association with the existing platform or as a free standing platform structure, in the form of any temporary or permanent fixing.
  • the standing part may comprise a fixing means (adapted to be welded, screwed, glued or otherwise fixed to the existing platform or foundation, at a position remote from at least one support means, thereby providing two points of fixture).
  • said platform comprises a plurality of standing parts, selectively sized and shaped, and adapted to slideably engage said support means such that said standing parts are adapted to provide a standing surface that is at least partially continuous, with the existing platform., or can form an at least partially continous standing surface for a free standing platform as hereindescribed.
  • Standing parts may be of similar or different sizes.
  • Said standing parts may be manufactured from any robust, durable, rigid material of sufficient strength to provide a secure standing surface to those members of the public or freight using said platform.
  • any robust, durable, rigid material of sufficient strength to provide a secure standing surface to those members of the public or freight using said platform For example, and not by way of limitation, wood, steel, aluminium, composites such as reinforced plastics and the like.
  • said standing surface provides a platform that in one respect provides a continuous standing surface for the members of the public, but additionally and advantageously, the slideable engagement of said standing parts with said support means allows for construction workers and/or engineers to access the surface beneath said platform to complete - necessary building and/or repair to said surface.
  • the slidable engagement of said standing surface provides a speedy and cost effective means to construct at least a semi-permanent platform as hereindescribed.
  • the temporary platform may be constructed during the night when the number of passengers using a rail station is less than during peak hours of travelling and/or commuter times of the early morning and evening. Work on the platform beneath the temporary surface can be undertaken by the construction workers and/or engineers during these periods by simply sliding the standing parts from the support means thereby allowing access to the platform. During busier times the standing parts are replaced to form a semi- continuous surface on which rail travellers may walk. The plurality of the standing parts to form the continuous standing surface is advantageous insofar as there is no requirement to close entire platforms to restrict passenger movement. The multi-component nature of the temporary platform facilitates its rapid construction in situ .
  • the provision of standing parts of selected dimensions also means that the temporary platform may be customised to an individual platform since not all station platforms are identical in their construction. Furthermore even during busy periods it may still be possible to build/repair the surface beneath the temporary platform in selected areas without the necessity to close the entire platform.
  • said support means comprises a base part and releasably connected thereto an extendable support member characterised by an upper portion adapted so as to be slideably engaged with said standing parts.
  • said base part is provided with a recess, indentation, cavity or throughbore or the like, into which said extendable support member may be securely located via frictional engagement.
  • said support member may be adapted to be selectively adjustable in length.
  • Means to selectively alter the length of said support member are well known in the art and include, for example and not by way of limitation, the provision of telescopic parts which can be adjusted to alter the length of said support member.
  • said support member may be provided in a variety of fixed lengths. It will be apparent that alteration to support member length may be desirable due to differences between the height of a given platform and the height of a carriage. This reflects the differences in platform construction for different public transport means or locations.
  • the adjustable nature of the support means facilitates the construction of free standing platforms as hereindescribed.
  • said telescopic support member is provided with locking means to secure said length adjustment to said support member.
  • this may be provided by a series of spaced apertures aligned in each part of the said telescopic support member through which a securing pin or similar may be at least partially placed therethrough to secure said length adjustment.
  • said support member may be located and securely positioned in said base part by similar securing pins.
  • said support member is adapted at or near the upper most portion of the said support member by a bracket selectively sized and shaped to engage at least partially said standing parts.
