Abstract

In a passenger conveyor, a supporting angle that is supported on a building beam is fixed to an end portion of a truss main body. A plurality of movement limiting members that come into contact with the supporting angle to limit horizontal movement of the supporting angle are disposed on the building beam. The supporting angle includes: a first supporting portion; and a pair of second supporting portions that are disposed on two sides of the first supporting portion in a width direction of the truss. A horizontal protruding dimension of the first supporting portion from the truss main body is different than horizontal protruding dimensions of the second supporting portions from the truss main body.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A passenger conveyor comprising:
a truss that includes:
a truss main body; and
a supporting angle that is fixed to an end portion of the truss main body, and that is supported on a building beam;
a conveying body that is supported by the truss, and that conveys passengers by moving cyclically; and
a plurality of movement limiting members that are disposed on the building beam, and that come into contact with the supporting angle to limit horizontal movement of the supporting angle, wherein:
the supporting angle includes:
a first supporting portion; and
a pair of second supporting portions that are disposed on two sides of the first supporting portion in a width direction of the truss, wherein each of the first supporting portion and the second supporting portions protrude from the truss main body to terminate at a protruding edge thereof; and
a horizontal protruding dimension from the truss main body of the protruding edge of the first supporting portion from the truss main body is different than horizontal protruding dimensions from the truss main body of the protruding edges of the second supporting portions.

2. A passenger conveyor comprising:
a truss that includes:
a truss main body; and
a supporting angle that is fixed to an end portion of the truss main body, and that is supported on a building beam;
a conveying body that is supported by the truss, and that conveys passengers by moving cyclically; and
a plurality of movement limiting members that are disposed on the building beam, and that come into contact with the supporting angle to limit horizontal movement of the supporting angle, wherein:
the supporting angle includes:
a first supporting portion; and
a pair of second supporting portions that are disposed on two sides of the first supporting portion in a width direction of the truss; and
a horizontal protruding dimension of the first supporting portion from the truss main body is different than horizontal protruding dimensions of the second supporting portions from the truss main body, wherein:
the horizontal protruding dimension of the first supporting portion from the truss main body is smaller than the horizontal protruding dimensions of the second supporting portions from the truss main body, whereby a recess portion is formed at an intermediate portion of the supporting angle in the width direction on an opposite side from the truss main body; and
the movement limiting members are disposed inside the recess portion.

3. A passenger conveyor comprising:
a truss that includes:
a truss main body; and
a supporting angle that is fixed to an end portion of the truss main body, and that is supported on a building beam;
a conveying body that is supported by the truss, and that conveys passengers by moving cyclically; and
a plurality of movement limiting members that are disposed on the building beam, and that come into contact with the supporting angle to limit horizontal movement of the supporting angle, wherein:
the supporting angle includes:
a first supporting portion; and
a pair of second supporting portions that are disposed on two sides of the first supporting portion in a width direction of the truss; and
a horizontal protruding dimension of the first supporting portion from the truss main body is different than horizontal protruding dimensions of the second supporting portions from the truss main body, wherein:
the supporting angle is formed such that a pair of angle members that constitute the second supporting portions are linked by an angle member that constitutes the first supporting portion; and
a cross-sectional area of the angle member that constitutes the first supporting portion is different than a cross-sectional area of the angle members that constitute the second supporting portions.

4. A passenger conveyor comprising:
a truss that includes:
a truss main body; and
a supporting angle that is fixed to an end portion of the truss main body, and that is supported on a building beam;
a conveying body that is supported by the truss, and that conveys passengers by moving cyclically; and
a plurality of movement limiting members that are disposed on the building beam, and that come into contact with the supporting angle to limit horizontal movement of the supporting angle, wherein:
the supporting angle includes:
a first supporting portion; and
a pair of second supporting portions that are disposed on two sides of the first supporting portion in a width direction of the truss; and
a horizontal protruding dimension of the first supporting portion from the truss main body is different than horizontal protruding dimensions of the second supporting portions from the truss main body,
further comprising a stopper that is disposed on the supporting angle so as to limit movement of the supporting angle in a direction in which the truss main body moves away from the building beam to within a predetermined range by coming into contact with the movement limiting members.
