Abstract: The present invention comprises a hand rail driving apparatus which can easily compensate loss of driving force and tension of a hand rail, which is essential to safety of an escalator without damaging a flat belt or a roller thereof. The hand rail driving apparatus includes an escalator in which a hand rail is contacted with pressure on a hand rail driving pulley, connected through a driving chain to a driving wheel, and in which the hand rail driving apparatus drives the hand rail while exerting pressure on the hand rail by using the driving pulley. A tube, in which air pressure therein is variable, is mounted on a circumferential surface of the hand rail driving pulley to which the hand rail is contacted with pressure.

Abstract: A driven terminal for a passenger conveyor for transferring passenger or luggage. The driven terminal according to the present invention includes a pair of rotating plates mounted on both ends of a rotating shaft, an outer wheel forcibly contacted with the pallet chains having a smooth contacting surface, and an inner wheel having one surface contacted with a periphery of the rotating plate and the other surface contacted and secured to the outer wheel.
