In the advance area each step or pallet is oriented with the advance sliding surfaces of the two respective sliding elements on the advance guide rails and slides along the advance guide rails.

Abstract: An escalator or moving walk has respectively a step band and steps, or a moving walk with a pallet band and pallets. A balustrade has a handrail that is held by means of a balustrade skirt. Arranged on the balustrade skirt is a wedging guard apparatus or deflector apparatus that prevents wedging or pinching of objects and persons between the steps and the balustrade skirt. The wedging guard or deflector apparatus has a carrier or base section and a brush unit that is arranged on a vertical area of the balustrade skirt. The carrier or base section has fastening parts for vertical mating or joining with the brush unit.

Abstract: A transportation system for a transportation device has a transportation chain having a plurality of chain links joined to form an articulated endless chain and with a sprocket to reverse the chain. The transportation chain has several equally-spaced guide elements which, in a transportation area of the transportation device are guided along a guide rail. The guide elements are formed of sliding elements that are mechanically linked to the transportation chain and slide along the guide rail when the transportation system is in motion. An outer circumference of the sprocket has recesses which at least partly accommodate the sliding elements.

Abstract: A lubrication system for a transportation system and, in particular for an escalator or a moving walk, has a piston pump for delivering a prescribed quantity of lubricant per work cycle, an arrangement of lubrication points with at least one lubrication point and a branched lubricant pipeline. Each branch of the lubricant pipeline connects the pump in parallel to a lubricating point of the arrangement of lubrication points. Through a valve arrangement each branch of the lubricant pipeline can be selectively and individually blocked or connected to the piston pump.

Abstract: An escalator or moving walk has a drive arranged in a reversing area. The drive drives chain wheels that move the step band or pallet band and include a motor, an axial gear, a first hollow shaft and a second hollow shaft. The motor drives a belt to drive a gear input shaft that runs coaxial to the first hollow shaft. Arranged at one end of the gear input shaft is an operating brake; the other end of the gear input shaft is connected to the axial gear. A first flange connects a first chain wheel to a truss. A second chain wheel is arranged at one end of the second hollow shaft; the other end of the second hollow shaft is connected to the housing of the axial gear. A second flange connected to a side plate serves as a torque converter bearing for the axial gear.

Abstract: An escalator or moving walkway has a step or plate belt with motor-driven steps or plates and free-running steps or plates. A drive frame connected with a frame serves as support for a drive unit of a motor-driven step or plate. The drive unit includes a motor, a transmission and a brake. A friction wheel, which transmits drive power to a travel track, is arranged at the transmission output, while a counter-pressure roller arranged in a fixed position on the drive frame laterally guides the step.

Abstract: A transportation system cradle cradles and moves a transportation system structure of a transportation system in an assembly process. The transportation system cradle contains a drive unit connectable to the transportation system structure to move or transport the transportation system structure. The transportation system cradle also has at least one first and second cradle units that are designed to cradle a first or second foot area of the transportation system structure. Intermediate products, formed of a transportation system structure and a cradle, may be moved between assembly stations in an assembly plant.

Abstract: An assembly plant for at-factory pre-assembly of transportation systems has several assembly stations. In every assembly station a part of a respective transportation system is pre-assembled at each station. The assembly stations are arranged in the sequence of the assembly steps that are to be executed, and have assembly-step-specific tool devices and devices for making ready an inventory of assembly-step-specific assembly components. A production control system controls execution of the assembly steps and individual movement of the transportation systems between assembly stations, such that each transportation system is alternately moved and subjected to assembly steps. The assembly steps proceed in a rhythm (T) that is defined by a pre-specified fixed standard assembly-time window T.

Abstract: A lifting system for vertical adjustment of a transportation system structure consists of a foot that is fastened onto the transportation system structure and during manufacturing assembly of the transportation system structure points downwards, and a foot cradle. The foot is bounded on opposite sides by two foot surfaces that are arranged at a foot-surface angle to each other. The foot cradle has two complimentary supporting surfaces against which the foot surfaces rest. The supporting surfaces are vertically movable, allowing the foot and transportation system structure to be raised or lowered, and the vertical adjustment thereby takes place. A transportation system cradle has at least one such foot cradle, and together with the transportation system structure suggested, form an intermediate product that can be moved between assembly stations in an assembly plant.

Abstract: An escalator has a step-band with steps for the transport of persons. The step-band is bounded on its sides by a balustrade held by a balustrade base. A handrail-drive drives the handrails, and has friction-wheels driving the handrails on the outside of the handrails. Rollers press upon the insides of the handrails, pressing the handrail against the friction-wheel. At least one further friction-wheel arranged on a step chain-wheel drives the friction-wheel through frictional or mechanical engagement.

Abstract: An escalator or moving walkway has a step belt or plate of motor-driven steps or plates and free-running steps or plates. Running rails are arranged upon transverse elements of a support construction, and have a respective running surface for step rollers and a running surface for chain rollers. The step rollers are connected with the step or plate body by means of arms. A secondary part of a linear motor is connected to the step or plate body by means of pins. A guide rail for guidance and drive of the steps or plates is centrally provided along a forward running part or return running part of the escalator or walkway, wherein the primary part of the linear motor is integrated in the guide rail. Each motor step or plate is provided with a brake which acts on the guide rail.

Abstract: A lubricating device incorporated in an escalator step of an escalator or in a moving walkway plate of a moving walkway, has lubrication points formed by lubricating siding pads or brushes which are arranged at the escalator step or the moving walkway plate and which project slightly beyond the side edges of the escalator step or the moving walkway plate. The pads or brushes have a bore through which the lubricant is transferred to base plates forming lateral boundaries for the steps or plates.
