| 摘要 |
The invention relates to a transparent balustrade (12) of an escalator (1) or of a moving walk, comprising a balustrade skirt (13), at least one glass panel (33), and a handrail guide (15) with a handrail (14). The at-least one glass panel (33) has an upper edge (9) and a lower end (6) and, at its lower end (6), is gripped in a mounting (18) in the balustrade skirt (13) in locationally fixed manner. The transparent balustrade (12) contains at least one support (20), which is tightly joined to the balustrade skirt (13). The glass panel (33) is deformable perpendicular to its planar extent and therefore in lateral direction. Through its elastic deformability, to absorb lateral forces (F) the glass panel (33) displays lateral displaceability within a permissible deformation play (s), lateral displaceability within the permissible deformation play (s) being limited by the support (20). |

1. Transparent balustrade (12) of an escalator (1) or of a moving walk, comprising a balustrade skirt (13), at least one glass panel (31, 32, 33), and a handrail guide (15) with a handrail (14), wherein the at-least one glass panel (31, 32, 33) has an upper edge (9) and a lower end (6) and, at its lower end (6), is gripped in a mounting (18) in the balustrade skirt (13) in a locationally fixed manner, wherein the transparent balustrade (12) contains at least one support (20), which, in a locationally fixed manner, is joined to at least one of the balustrade skirt (13) and a supporting frame (10) of the escalator (1) or moving walk, the glass panel (31, 32, 33) having elastic properties for impact energy absorption whereby
a limited elastic displacement of a part of the at least one glass panel (31, 32, 33) through deformation of the at least one glass panel (31, 32, 33) perpendicular to its planar extent, and therefore in a lateral direction, is permitted; the lateral displacement takes place within a permissible deformation play range dependent upon the material properties of the at least one glass panel; and the lateral displacement within the permissible deformation range is limited by the support (20); characterized in that the support (20) has a contact-edge (24) that faces the at least one glass panel (31, 32, 33) and, in an unloaded state, the deformation play (s) is present between the contact-edge (24) of the support (20) and the at least one glass panel (31, 32, 33). |
