Safety device for transport systems

摘要

The invention relates to a safety device for transport systems comprising walkways and stairs by means of moving elements (1, 2) with longitudinal movements in which there is the possibility that said moving elements (1, 2) undergo tilting movements in relation to an operating direction. A safety counter-guide (7) is arranged on the moving elements (1, 2), preventing the upwards tilting of the moving elements (1, 2) and further having a lower sensor (8) in the form of a band that generates a stop signal for the system upon coming into with moving elements (1, 2). Therefore the moving elements (1, 2) cannot tilt in an upwards direction, preventing possible risks both for the user and for the mechanical system, and due to a possible tendency to said tilting caused by any anomaly, the system is automatically stopped.
