Patent number: 9994427Abstract: A safety chain for conveyor pallets may comprise bent links arranged in alternating fashion with straight links. Each of the bent links may have two ends with a wheel disposed at each end. Each consecutive bent link and straight link may be joined at an articulation point. The safety chain may also comprise arms extending from each articulation point, wherein a conveyor pallet may be coupled to each arm. Further, roller guides that follow a trajectory of the safety chain may be arranged on one of two sides of the safety chain. The roller guides may rotate the wheels of the bent links. The articulation points enable rotation and position change of the bent links and the straight links so as to increase or decrease a distance between consecutive conveyor pallets according to a change of speed of a conveyor.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2014Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: THYSSENKRUPP ELEVATOR INNOVATION CENTER S.A.Inventors: Miguel Angel Gonzalez Alemany, Juan Domingo Gonzalez Pantiga, José Mendiolagoitia Juliana, Francisco Palomero Cocho, Aurelio Castaño Lantero, Eduardo Moran Garcia, Pedro Ros Zuazua

Patent number: 9695018Abstract: Example drive systems for handrails of walkways and moving stairs may comprise a plurality of carriages. In some examples, each carriage may comprise a body with several leading rollers that roll along a guide that defines a handrail path. The carriage may further comprise a locking/release mechanism for selectively coupling the carriage to a drive chain of the handrail. The locking/release mechanism may comprise a hook configured to move between an engagement position wherein the carriage is coupled to the drive chain and a disengagement position wherein the carriage is uncoupled from the drive chain. In some cases, a position of the hook may be controlled by a wheel that travels along a cam profile.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2014Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: THYSSENKRUPP ELEVATOR INNOVATION CENTER S.A.Inventors: Miguel Angel González Alemany, Juan Domingo González Pantiga, José Mendiolagoitia Juliana, Eduardo Moran Garcia, Pedro Ros Zuazua, Enrique Gonzalez Fernandez, José Ojeda Arenas, Ana Belén Quiroga Sanchez, Luis Joaquín Fernandez Alvarez, Alberto Florez Castro, Javier Martinez Gutierrez
