Passenger conveyor

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To permit the driving on and out of a cart, etc. without stopping a conveyor by installing stoppers at certain intervals onto a transfer body which is constituted endlessly and pulling in the stopper in the flat plane form to or under the stepping surface of a transfer body at the edge part of a getting-on/off port of the going passage of the transfer body and projecting the stopper onto the stepping surface in an inclined part formed in the intermediate part of the going passage. CONSTITUTION:Since, in the rising operation from left to right, a rail 15 for raising a stopper is not installed in the horizontal part at the edge part of a getting-on port, the stopper body of a stopper 4 is pulled in downward from a stepping surface, and a cart 18 and passengers 19 ride onto the stepping surface free from obstruction. When a pallet 2 on which the cart 18 is loaded is introduced into the inclined part in the intermediate part of a going passage, the roller of the stopper 4 rides over a stopper raising rail 15 through a curved part 15a under an elevator mechanism 14, and the cleat of the stopper body projects over the stepping surface of the stepping plate of the pallet 2, and at least one of the front and rear wheels of the cart 18 is supported onto the part projecting onto the stepping surface of the stopper body. Further, at the edge part of a getting-off part, the stopper body is pulled downward from the stepping surface.
