Combplate safety device

摘要

A combplate safety device (35) is provided for a passenger conveyor (10). The conveyor (10) includes a combplate (34) which is mounted on a frame (40) and which is moveable in response to an obstruction of the motion of the conveyor (10). The safety device (35) comprises a hold down member (92) on the frame (40) for releasably securing the combplate (34) against the frame (40) in a vertically downward direction. Deactivation means (82) halt the passenger conveyor (10) when a predetermined relative displacement of the combplate (34) and the frame (40) occurs. Anti-interference means (106) prevents debris from interfering with operation of the deactivation means (82). <IMAGE>
