Provided is a drip-proof device for a passenger conveyer, which is capable of improving working efficiency of maintenance work performed in a machine room. The drip-proof device for a passenger conveyor includes gutters, which are provided to a floor plate for opening and closing an opening portion of a machine room, and are each configured to receive water passing through a gap between wall surfaces of the opening portion and the floor plate, and a gutter displacement device configured to displace the gutters. Each of the gutters is displaced between a water-receiving position for receiving the water passing through the gap and a receiving position for allowing removal of the floor plate through the opening portion. The gutter displacement device includes a rotary member configured to rotate through an operation of the rotary member and rods configured to displace the gutters through the rotation of the rotary member.

The application relates to a floor covering of an escalator or moving walkway. The floor covering has a floor covering support, a first covering element and at least one adjoining covering element. At least one device which predetermines a single-possible, correct installation position of the covering elements on the floor covering support is arranged between at least the first covering element and the adjoining covering element, wherein, in the correct installation position, the first covering element and the adjoining covering element are arranged to be flush with the floor covering support and, in an incorrect installation position, at least part of the adjoining covering element is arranged in a visibly protruding manner on the floor covering support due to the device.

A passenger conveyor lifting device lifts a unit that includes a frame body constituting at least one lengthwise direction part of a main frame of a passenger conveyor, and a unit device supported by the frame body. The lifting device includes a lifting attachment fitting and a lifting rope. The lifting attachment fitting includes a pair of attachment bases attached detachably to respective upper surfaces of a pair of side frame portions constituting respective width direction end portions of the frame body, and a reinforcing member connecting the pair of attachment bases above the unit device disposed between the pair of side frame portions. The lifting rope lifts the unit while hooked to the respective side frame portions.

What is described is a method for producing a framework-like supporting structure for a passenger transport system, such as a moving staircase, in which an entire production sequence is divided into at least three separate joining steps which can be performed by coordinated semi- or fully automated joining stations that cooperate with each other. Each of the joining stations comprises at least one retention device and at least one welding robot, as well as optionally at least one handling robot. The joining steps to be performed in the individual joining stations are configured so that interim products can be produced efficiently and harmonized with a subsequent joining step in a subsequent joining station. Interim products can be forwarded sequentially and at optimized, short intervals from joining station to joining station, to be able to provide a finished, load-bearing supporting structure at the end of the sequence.

This application relates to a floor cover of a passenger-conveying device such as an escalator or a moving walkway. The floor cover has a plurality of cover elements and at least one coupling element. The coupling element is positioned between a first cover element and a second cover element. The coupling element has a coupling region configured to couple the first cover element to the second cover element for loading in tension and for angling relative to each other. The coupling element also has a restoring region configured to cause a restoring force between the first cover element and the second cover element as soon as one of the cover elements is raised upward in deviation from a desired configuration. The restoring force is directed in such a way that the raised cover element is acted upon toward the desired configuration.

A framework section having a connection region which is formed on the end face of at least one of its two ends. The connection region can be connected to the connection region of a further framework section. The framework section can include two upper chord sections and two lower chord sections, which extend parallel to one another in the longitudinal direction of the framework section and are connected to one another by connecting struts such that they define a cuboid space. The upper chord sections and the lower chord sections can have a tubular cross section, wherein the upper chord sections and the lower chord sections can also be configured to transition from the tubular cross section into an I-shaped cross section in the connection region.
