Abstract: A step for a passenger conveyor has a tread formed with a plurality of cleats defining grooves therebetween and adapted to mesh with comb-shaped teeth provided on step-on and step-out landings, and side frames on which the tread is mounted. The tread is provided with flat and cleat-less mounting sections each having a width greater than the width of the groove between each adjacent pair of cleats. The tread is removably connected at the mounting sections to the side frame members. The flat mounting sections are covered with covering members removably mounted on the tread.

Abstract: A floor level correcting device used in a hydraulic elevator comprises means for electrically detecting the vertical position of the elevator cage with respect to the floor landing and driving means for level correction, provided independent of a main power unit for driving the elevator cage. The detecting means comprises means provided in the elevator shaft and means provided in the elevator cage which detect, in co-operation with each other, the level of the cage with respect to the floor landing of the building in particular whether the cage is stopped in the proper landing position or shifted therefrom, so as to produce an electrical signal in accordance with the detected cage level to transmit the signal to the driving means for level correction.
