Definitions
- This invention relates to dual path moving walkways of the type where pallets or treadplates circulate in a single plane.
- this invention relates to latch means which connect adjacent pallets together for movement along the passenger-carrying areas of the walkway and releases them on their outer sides for movement around the return bend area at each end of the walkway.
- a dual path moving walkway having an endless series of pallets forming the floor of each pathway and passing round the ends of the walkway from one pathway to the other, means for moving said pallets round the walkway, latch means for locking adjacent pallets together during movement along the pathways of the walkway and/or releasing adjacent pallets at each end of the walkway and means for controlling actuation of the latch means, said latch means comprising in combination, an assembly mounted on each pallet and a keeper on each adjacent pallet and adapted to engage the assembly, said assembly comprising arm means pivotally connected to the pallet and extending towards the keeper on said adjacent pallet, said arm means mounting an axle carrying ground wheels on which the pallets move along the passenger-carrying areas of the walkway, said axle being located in the keeper.
- said keeper comprises a bracket having a recess adapted to receive the axle therein, said axle being movable in a vertical direction to engage in or disongage from said recess.
- the means for controlling actuation of the latch means comprises a rail located around the walkway and adapted to engage the axle wheels to locate the assembly in a horizontal plane in which said axle is retained in its recess or to permit the axle to move to a lower plane to release from said recess.
- said keeper bracket has an inverted U-shaped recess adapted to receive the axle.
- said arm means comprises a pair of parallel arms mounting said axle at one end and pivotally mounted on the pallet at the other end.
- a down thrust guide plate is provided to engage the axle of each assembly as each pallet passes from a passenger-carrying area through the comb plate, thereby to ensure movement of the assembly to its lower unlatched position.
- the latch assembly is mounted at the trailing edge of each pallet and the keeper is on the leading edge of each rearwardly adjacent pallet with reference to the direction of movement of the pallets.
- two latch assemblies are mounted on each pallet and two keepers are correspondingly located on each adjacent pallet.
- a dual path moving walkway has two parallel straight portions which form passenger-carrying areas at each end of which is a comb plate 1 under which the pallets pass, and two semi-circular end portions or 'return bends', part of one of which is shown in Fig. 1.
- An endless series of pallets 2 moves around the walkway; in the passenger-carrying areas these are connected together at their inner and outer sides to form continuous straight moving floors (not shown) while at the return bends the pallets 2 remain connected only at their inner sides to permit movement round the return bend.
- the pallets 2 are provided with two pairs of co-axial transport wheels 6 which travel on rails 12 along the passenger-carrying areas; in the return bend areas the pallets are supported by inverted wheels 10 located adjacent to the comb plate 1 and by inverted castors 11.
- the pallets are connected at their inner sides by any suitable connecting means 7 which run in guide rails or channels 5.
- Latch means 9 releasably connects adjacent pallets at least at the outer sides and also if desirable at a location adjacent the inner connecting means 7.
- Each latch means comprises in combination an assembly 13-15 at the trailing edge of each pallet relative to its direction of movement and a keeper 8 at the leading edge of each rearwardly adjacent pallet.
- the rearwardnair of transport wheels 6 are mounted on an axle 15 which is carried on a pivoting pair of arms 13, which extend forwardly to a pivot 14. These arms constitute a transport wheel mounting, and are able to move through a small vertical arc after they leave the rails outside of the transport area.
- the keeper 8 comprises a bracket mounted on the underside of each pallet and having an inverted U-shaped recess at its leading end into which the axle of the latch assembly can locate.
- the wheel mountings are firmly located because the top portion nearest the pallet provides a firm support for the pallet, while the fact that the wheels 6 rest on the transport rails 12 completes the pallet support in a rigid manner.
- the axle 15 is extended and locates in the critical area with a down thrust guide plate 16 which ensures that separation of axle and recess takes place.
- the turning pallet will maintain correct horizontal orientation because flat surfaces are provided on the underside of each pallet and these ride on the inverted wheels 10 and inverted castors 11.
- the guide wheels 7 will direct the pallet back into proximity and parallelism with the one in front, and they are pressed close together by means of a suitably located linear motor or drive wheel not shown.
- the guide wheel 7 is equipped with a substantial rib or annulus and if the rising transport wheel 6 tries to displace the pallet this rib on the guide will counteract the thrust and maintain the correct pallet orientation in the horizontal plane.
- the connected pallet now moves through the comb plate 1 into the transport area on the four transport wheels 6, and become what is in effect part of a continuous moving platform located accurately between the guide wheels 7 in the guide channels 5.
- the pallets may be driven by rotary toothed drive members spaced along the walkway, and engaging co-operating toothed bars on the pallets, e.g. power may be provided by a series of rack and pinion drives at calculated spaces along the lengths of the paths or by caterpillar drives. Alternatively, it may be provided by linear motors spaced out to correspond with the power requirement and the input of the power unit with reaction plates mounted on each pallet.
- the latch means hereinbefore described may be used in conjunction with connecting means for coupling the inner sides of the pallets which means is described and claimed in our co-pending Application filed August,1978 under Application No. 33148/78
