Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A pair of displacement restricting members are fixed to a support member. When the support member is viewed from above, the displacement restricting members include reference end portions, respectively, which are positioned on a setting straight line set on an upper surface of the support member. The pair of displacement restricting members is fixed to the upper surface of the support member so that the reference end portions are directed in directions opposite to each other in a direction along the setting straight line. The end portion of the truss includes a pair of abutment surfaces facing the reference end portions, respectively. A gap is present in at least any one of a region between the reference end portion of one displacement restricting member and one abutment surface and a region between the reference end portion of the other displacement restricting member and the other abutment surface.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A truss support device for a passenger conveyor, which is configured to support an end portion of a truss of a passenger conveyor, the truss support device comprising: a support member being fixed to a building portion and having the end portion of the truss mounted thereon; and a pair of displacement restricting members including receiving portions, respectively, and being fixed to the support member, wherein, when the support member is viewed from above, the receiving portions include reference end portions, respectively, which are positioned on a setting straight line set on an upper surface of the support member, wherein the pair of displacement restricting members are fixed to the upper surface of the support member so that the reference end portions are directed in directions opposite to each other in a direction along the setting straight line, wherein the end portion of the truss include a pair of abutment surfaces facing the reference end portions, respectively, wherein, when the support member is viewed from above, each of the receiving portions has a dimension in a direction orthogonal to the setting straight line, which continuously decreases toward each of the reference end portions, and wherein the truss support device for a passenger conveyor has a gap in at least any one of a region between the reference end portion of one of the pair of displacement restricting members and one of the pair of abutment surfaces and a region between the reference end portion of another of the pair of displacement restricting members and another of the pair of abutment surfaces, wherein, when the support member is viewed from above, the each of the receiving portions has an outline that is formed of two straight lines that cross each other on the setting straight line. 2. A truss support device for a passenger conveyor according to claim 1 , wherein the truss includes a truss main body and a pair of engaging portions protruding from the truss main body as the end portion of the truss, and wherein the pair of displacement restricting members are arranged on inner sides or outer sides of the pair of engaging portions in the direction along the setting straight line.
