  • Patent number: 12600602
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a connecting gear mechanism of a passenger-transporting system designed as an escalator or moving walkway. The connecting gear mechanism has a first section and a second section. In the first section, an input shaft and a first gearwheel set are arranged so as to be operatively connected to one another. In the second section, an output shaft and a second gearwheel set are arranged so as to be operatively connected to one another. A connecting shaft connects the two gearwheel sets to one another, wherein, with respect to the connecting shaft axis of rotation, the first section can be connected to the second section at any selectable plane intermediate angles.

  • Publication number: 20250100850
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a passenger transport system having a circulating transport belt and a drive for driving the belt. The drive has a motor, a connecting gear, and a drive shaft operatively connected to the motor via the connecting gear. The passenger transport system has a support structure in which the transport belt is movably guided and the drive shaft is rotatably mounted. The passenger transport system also has a support which is arranged on the support structure in the region of a first end in order to support the first end of the support structure on a building structure. The support projects from the support structure starting at an underside of the support structure and in orthogonal direction relative to the longitudinal extent of the support structure. The motor is fastened to the support outside of an internal space defined by the support structure.
