Abstract: A safety device is provided for transport systems such as walkways and stairs that include moving elements (1, 2) with longitudinal movements and in which one of the moving elements (1, 2) may undergo tilting movements in relation to an operating direction. A safety counter-guide (7) is arranged on the moving elements (1, 2) and prevents the upward tilting of the moving elements (1, 2). The safety counter-guide also includes a lower sensor (8) in the form of a band that generates a stop signal for the system upon coming into contact with moving elements (1, 2). Since the moving elements (1, 2) cannot tilt in an upwards direction, possible risks both for the user and for the mechanical system are prevented.

Abstract: The invention relates to improvements introduced in invention patent number 200602335 relating to a safety system for moving handrails comprising a plurality of moving handgrips (1), the system having a retractable stop (5) inside the railing (3), a support structure (7), joined to the railing (3), having a guide (9), a lowerable body (11) with respect to the structure (7) and having a guiding rod (12) with a runner (13) and a roller (14) moving parallel to the handgrips (1) and a driving element (15) of the body (11), one of the ends (15b) of which is rotatably connected to the support structure (7) and the other end (15a) is rotatably connected to the lowerable body (11), such that when the retractable stop (5) is pushed by the hand of the user, the rod (12) is moved and the runner (13) is released from the guide (9), the lowerable body (11) being lowered due to the effect of the driving element (15).

Abstract: The invention relates to a safety device for moving handrails consisting of a stop (5), arranged at the entrance of the handrail (1) assembled on a fixed railing (3) finishing the handrail, the stop (5) being connected to a rod (7) which can move longitudinally and is retractable against a spring (9), the device comprising a hinged outer lid (15) having locking pawls (19) for an inner lid (18), such that the outer lid (15) automatically tends to the open position due to the effect of the springs (17) affecting the hinge (16) when the stop (5) is retracted and the lock (10) of the latter are released, whereas the inner lid (18), upon being released, also tends to the open position by simple gravity. In this way when a user does not let go of the handrail (1) when it penetrates the railing (3), he or she drives the stop (5) with his or her hand and the lids (15) and (18) are automatically opened, preventing injury to the hand of the user and causing the stop of the handrail through a microswitch (23).

Abstract: The invention relates to a pallet actuation system moving the pallets of a moving walkway through drive chains directly engaging the lower part of the chains of traction links. The drive chain has separate drive rollers which are made of deformable and elastic materials. The links of the traction chains are connected together by connecting shafts and have teeth and claws in the lower part to mesh with the drive chain and the rollers.

Abstract: The invention relates to a drive system for moving walkways and stairs by means of horizontal drive chains, having a drive actuation mechanism and drive chains responsible for causing the movement of the plates of the walkway or steps of the stairs. The drive chains and the pallets or steps have direct mutual engagement devices which are opposite and coupled to one another along a straight section of the path of the belt or stairs. The devices have deformable rollers which are assembled in the links of the drive chain and engage in complementary cavities that the plates or links have at the back part.

Abstract: The invention relates to a moving walkway transporting people on a grooved surface included in pallets (1) having the same pitch as the traction chain, all of them being able to be attached by means of pins (2) forming the actual traction chain between them, in which the pallets (1) are overturned by means of a guide (3) in which only three pallets are located, causing a quick overturning allowing the comb (5) to have sufficient inertia in its ribs (6) so as to support the loads which the users will apply to it in the direction (4).

Abstract: The invention relates to a system having: a first longitudinal member and a second longitudinal member arranged symmetrical to the first longitudinal member in relation to a longitudinal mid-plane of the conveyor system, to define a forward movement track and a return track of the rollers (4); a connecting crossbeam (6) for connecting the longitudinal members. The longitudinal members have: an upper surface defining the forward movement track (2) on which the rollers (4) roll; a lower surface defining the return track (3) on which the rollers (4) roll; an inner surface provided with means for fixing the longitudinal members; an outer surface. The first longitudinal member is connected to the second longitudinal member by means of a connecting crossbeam (6) to ensure a necessary tolerance between longitudinal members.

Abstract: The invention relates to a moving walkway formed by a series of pallets (1) with a rectangular contour having a passable surface and connected with drive means. The pallets are consecutively connected to one another along the end sections of their adjacent parallel edges, by means of connection devices defining hinges with a pin perpendicular to the direction of movement of the pallets, and have between said sections means defining, in the forward movement path of the walkway, mutual supports between coplanar consecutive pallets.

Abstract: The invention relates to a turnaround curve system for a chain conveyor system, having a chain having linear traction which is driven in turnaround sections by means of turnaround guides (7). The turnaround guides (7) have a geometry obtained by means of a family of curves corresponding to paths defined by six points (1-6), the six points (1-6) corresponding to six linkage positions of consecutive links of the chain in the turnaround sections. The system allows the turnaround sections to be more compact and extend the life of the rollers of the chain, since the rollers are subjected to smaller loads.

Abstract: The invention relates to a transport system for the movement of passengers/goods formed by a moving endless belt having: a series of pallet assemblies (100, 101); drive equipment (300, 320, 321, 310, 311) for transmitting a drive movement from actuating equipment (400) to the pallet belt (100, 101) in a low speed section located in an embarking/disembarking area of the endless belt; drive equipment (300?, 310?, 311?) for transmitting a drive movement from actuating equipment (400?) to the pallet belt (100, 101) in a high speed section located in a middle area of the endless belt; drive equipment (300?) for transmitting a drive movement from actuation equipment (400?) to the pallet belt (100, 101) in a transitional speed section located between the embarking/disembarking area and the middle area of the endless belt.

Abstract: The invention relates to a safety device for transport systems comprising walkways and stairs by means of moving elements (1, 2) with longitudinal movements in which there is the possibility that said moving elements (1, 2) undergo tilting movements in relation to an operating direction. A safety counter-guide (7) is arranged on the moving elements (1, 2), preventing the upwards tilting of the moving elements (1, 2) and further having a lower sensor (8) in the form of a band that generates a stop signal for the system upon coming into with moving elements (1, 2). Therefore the moving elements (1, 2) cannot tilt in an upwards direction, preventing possible risks both for the user and for the mechanical system, and due to a possible tendency to said tilting caused by any anomaly, the system is automatically stopped.

Abstract: An accelerated walkway having a moving surface made up of sets of treadboards of variable length which are mounted between lateral traction chains. A drive mechanism is related with the lateral traction chains. Each set of treadboards has a front treadboard and a rear treadboard that are grooved and mutually articulated along an axis perpendicular to the direction of movement. The rear treadboard of each set of treadboards is mounted on the lateral traction chains and on lateral guidance rails. The front treadboard of each set of treadboards rests on and is displaceable over the rear treadboard of a next set of treadboards in the direction of movement by guide elements.

Abstract: Handrail for variable speed moving walkway which comprises a flexible belt or profile which circulates over the length of the walkway, with a forward stretch and a return stretch.
