  • Tread elements for a conveyor and method and device for testing tread element strips
    Patent number: 8240452
    Abstract: A tread element for a conveyor such as an escalator or moving sidewalk has a tread plate and at least one border strip. First and second abutment arrangement for the strip are provided, and include a first groove element and a tongue element on mating portions of the tread plate and strip. Interacting stop surfaces of the abutment arrangements on the plate and strip prevent relative movement in the direction of mounting, while one of the abutment arrangements provides a locking arrangement between the tread element and strip.

  • Tread Elements For A Conveyor And Method And Device For Testing Tread Element Strips
    Publication number: 20100320058
    Abstract: The invention relates to a tread element (20) for a conveyor such as an escalator or moving sidewalk. The tread element (20) comprises a tread plate (22) having a tread surface (22.1) and a strip (30), preferably of a plurality of strip elements (40, 50) on the tread surface (22.1). A fixing arrangement has a first groove element and a second tongue element, one element being attached to the tread plate (22) and the other element to the strip elements. The two elements cooperate to prevent movements of the strip elements (40, 50) relative to the tread element (20) from the tread surface (22.1) away. Interacting stop surfaces on the strip elements and on the tread plate are designed to prevent movements of the strip elements in the direction of mounting, opposite to the direction of mounting and perpendicular to the direction of mounting and in parallel to the tread surface (22.1).
