  • Patent number: 10865073
    Abstract: A passenger conveyor includes a main frame, a support angle at an end in a longitudinal direction of the main frame and which is to be disposed on a building structure; and a support reinforcement part. The support reinforcement part includes a connection portion which is fixed to the support angle, a building-side extension portion which is extended from the connection portion along a floor face of the building structure, and a main-frame-side extension portion which is extended from the connection portion along an upper face of the main frame. In a case where the building-side extension portion of the support reinforcement part is in contact with the building structure, and the support angle is not in contact with the building structure, at least one portion of the main-frame-side extension portion is able to touch the upper face of the main frame.

  • Patent number: 10046950
    Abstract: A pair of displacement restricting members are fixed to a support member. When the support member is viewed from above, the displacement restricting members include reference end portions, respectively, which are positioned on a setting straight line set on an upper surface of the support member. The pair of displacement restricting members is fixed to the upper surface of the support member so that the reference end portions are directed in directions opposite to each other in a direction along the setting straight line. The end portion of the truss includes a pair of abutment surfaces facing the reference end portions, respectively. A gap is present in at least any one of a region between the reference end portion of one displacement restricting member and one abutment surface and a region between the reference end portion of the other displacement restricting member and the other abutment surface.
