A passenger transport system and a method of operating the same are described. The passenger transport system includes a passenger conveying device, a control unit for controlling an operation of the passenger conveying device, and a disinfecting device for disinfecting a surface to be disinfected on the passenger conveying device. The disinfecting device includes a controller for controlling an operation of the disinfecting device. The control unit of the passenger transport system and the controller of the disinfection device are adapted in such a manner that status signals, which reflect information about a current operation, a current state, and/or a current configuration of the disinfection device, are sent from the controller to the control unit, and the control unit generates control signals taking into account received status signals and transmits them to the controller, wherein the controller controls the operation of the disinfection device taking into account received control signals.

There is disclosed a display device making it possible to call effective attention in a use situation where unbalanced passenger load occurs between left and right lanes of a passenger conveyor. This display device includes a first display unit (7A) positioned on the left and a second display unit (7B) positioned on the right toward the passenger conveyor at a boarding (1), a control device (20) to control the first display unit (7A) and the second display unit (7B), and passenger detection (8A, 8B) to detect passengers stepping on the passenger conveyor. The first display unit (7A) and the second display unit (7B) display images representing information to passengers. The passengers pass between the first display unit (7A) and the second display unit (7B) and step on the passenger conveyor. The control device (20) estimates a state of congestion and a state of passengers gathering on only one lane in the passenger conveyor, based on detection signals from the passenger detection means (8A, 8B), and sets an image to be displayed by the first display unit (7A) and an image to be displayed by the second display device (7B) independently, depending on the state of congestion and the state of passengers gathering on only one lane.

The application relates to a transport unit for transporting a moving walkway, which transport unit has moving walkway modules and holding frames. At least two of the moving walkway modules are designed as a moving walkway central part and each have a supporting structure portion, the supporting structure portion being designed to support a guide rail portion, a forward pallet belt portion and a return pallet belt portion. The moving walkway modules are designed to be coupled to one another one behind the other. The moving walkway modules are arranged in the transport unit in levels one above the other. Each holding frame has horizontal struts spaced apart and parallel to one another and vertical struts holding the horizontal struts at opposite ends. A holding frame is arranged at positions spaced apart such that one of the moving walkway modules rests on one of the horizontal struts and the vertical struts extend on opposite sides of the moving walkway modules.

A system for the safety of those installing escalator systems having structural supports. A hand-rail is utilized having at least one post, each post made of an upper portion and a lower portion. The upper portion contains a top rail slot and a bottom rail slot for a cable to pass through, the cable is tensioned at a cable tension mount which can be located along the side of the escalator structure or to the bottom ground surface or top ground surface. The lower portion of the post contains a bottom mount and mid-bottom mount, which mount to the side of the escalator structure at the desired location of the user. This hand-rail system eliminates the need for a worker to wear a safety harness and tether to a cable which restricts motion.

A lubricating tube and a lubrication system are configured to lubricate an apparatus having a rolling component. The lubrication system includes a fluid reservoir containing a fluid, a fluid line coupled to the fluid reservoir; and the lubricating tube, which is disposed between the fluid line and the rolling component. The lubricating tube includes a rigid cylindrical body surrounding a cavity and having an outer circumferential surface. An inlet of the lubricating tube is coupled to the fluid line and provides fluid communication between the fluid line and the cavity. A plurality of ports is disposed on the outer circumferential surface and is configured to dispense the fluid to the rolling component. A location of each port of the plurality of ports from the inlet is customizable.

Provided is a passenger-conveyor step-chain monitoring system capable of monitoring elongation of a step chain without adding a special device. The passenger-conveyor step-chain monitoring system includes a monitoring unit configured to monitor elongation of a step chain attached to a step of a passenger conveyor based on a result of detecting the step by a sensor provided to detect an absence of the step. With this configuration, it is possible to monitor elongation of the step chain without adding a special device.

The present invention relates to a cleaning pad, cleaning device, and a method for cleaning. The cleaning pad has a plurality of ridges and grooves configured to mesh with the channels and ribs of an escalator or moving walkway step. The cleaning device includes a head portion configured to attach to a handle, and a cleaning pad removably attached to the head portion.

Provided is a guide rail cleaning device, including: a first cleaning portion including a first cleaning member configured to clean a driving-roller guide rail for a step; a second cleaning portion including a second cleaning member configured to clean a trailing-roller guide rail; and a mounting plate. The mounting plate is removably mounted to a step shaft having a driving roller fixed thereto. The first cleaning portion and the second cleaning portion are mounted to the mounting plate. The first cleaning member is brought into abutment against the driving-roller guide rail. The second cleaning member is brought into abutment against the trailing-roller guide rail. With this, the driving-roller guide rail and the trailing-roller guide rail are simultaneously cleaned through use of the first cleaning member and the second cleaning member.
