Definitions
- the present invention relates to a flat floor covering for covering an access area of a passenger conveyor and to a passenger conveyor equipped therewith and a method for converting a passenger conveyor.
- Passenger conveyors such as escalators or moving walks generally serve to convey people or objects standing on a step belt provided with steps or a pallet belt provided with pallets, standing upright along an inclined or horizontal path.
- the steps or pallets are shifted by means of a conveyor along the inclined or horizontal path, so that, for example, a person can enter the person conveyor in a first access area and climb onto one of the steps or one of the pallets and then together with them to an am opposite second end of the passenger conveyor to be conveyed where the person can leave the passenger conveyor again.
- a flat floor cover is generally used as a walkable floor to cover an opening of an underfloor space with, for example, technical facilities of the passenger conveyor, so that people can move across the access area to the moving steps or Pallets can reach.
- a deflection axis with deflection sprockets can be arranged and, on the other hand, a drive, its control and a drive train with a drive shaft and drive sprockets can be accommodated.
- the floor cover can be in one of the access areas of the passenger conveyor on the one hand for a walkable and as flush as possible Ensure transition between, for example, a floor of the surrounding structure and the step or pallet belt moved in the passenger conveyor.
- the base cover can often be designed to be removable or foldable, in order to then be able to get into the space underneath with the components of the passenger conveying device accommodated therein, in order, for example, to be able to repair or maintain it.
- the EP 0 661 229 B1 discloses an angled frame connected to the construction parts of a passenger conveyor, which serves as a base cover for a cover element.
- the angle frame can be adjusted in the vertical and horizontal position using screws and nuts.
- the support surface of the angle frame is covered with an elastic profile, this elastic profile being positively connected on the underside to the horizontal leg of the angle profile of the angle frame.
- the cover element since the deflection area of the step belt of the escalator or the pallet belt of the moving walk is usually located in the underfloor space below the floor cover, the cover element must be arranged securely on the floor cover support, so that regardless of the direction of force and the point of application of force, one acting on the cover element , external force, this under no circumstances slips, lifts or tilts on the floor covering support and unintentionally releases an opening to the room with the technical equipment.
- the invention has for its object to provide a floor covering which takes into account the aforementioned requirements and largely rules out incorrect installation.
- the base cover has a base cover support and at least one cover element. Through the floor cover is the opening of an underfloor or space on the pit side of the passenger conveyor towards the surrounding, accessible floor can be closed flush with at least one cover element placed on the floor covering support.
- the base cover includes at least one device that is at least partially arranged between the base cover support and the at least one cover element. By means of this device, the only possible correct installation position of the at least one cover element on a floor cover support is predetermined. When installed correctly, the device ensures that the cover element is arranged flush on the base cover support. In the event of incorrect installation, at least part of the cover element on the base cover support is visibly protruding or elevated due to the device.
- the device As a result of the visible protrusion of at least part of the cover element, it is immediately apparent that the cover element has not been installed correctly.
- the device thus indicates a dangerous state even for laypeople and forces the defect to be checked and remedied.
- the device can be designed differently in order to achieve a visible protrusion of the cover element when incorrectly installed. Depending on the design of the device, this or parts thereof is arranged between the base cover support of the base cover and the at least one cover element.
- the device can comprise at least one elastic element and a fastening means.
- the at least one cover element is held in the visible projecting position by the elastic element until the cover element is correctly connected to the base cover support by the fastening means.
- the elastic element can be a block of elastic material or a spring element which is arranged, for example, on the base cover support. If a cover element is now placed on the base cover support, the spring element holds at least part of the cover element on the base cover support in a visibly protruding position. In order to bring the cover element into the correct installation position, it must be pressed against the spring force of the elastic element onto the base cover support and fixed in this position by the fastening means.
- the Fastening means can be, for example, a screw connection or a locking device. A screw connection has the advantage that it can be used to compress the elastic element.
- the proposed first embodiment also monitors the fastening means in a simple manner. As soon as the screw connection or the locking device is released, the elastic element moves the cover element back into the incorrect installation position, which is visually perceptible without problems.
- the device and in particular the locking device can have a wide variety of forms. It can be a rotary bolt or a sliding bolt, for example.
- the locking device can also be combined with a lock, for example with a cylinder lock.
- the elastic element also does not necessarily have to be arranged separately from the fastening means. For example, a so-called spring catch (spring bolt) with a snap-in lug can be used, the latch of which is held up by the elastic element and the cover element is thus arranged so as to protrude in the incorrect installation position until the spring clip catches the correct installation position by actuating and snapping it into place ,
- the device can have at least one projection on the cover element and a recess on the base cover support corresponding to this projection.
- the at least one recess can also be formed on the cover element and a projection corresponding to this recess on the base cover support. If the installation position is correct, the projection protrudes into the recess and if the installation position is incorrect, the at least one cover element is either arranged so that it protrudes by the protrusion of the projection, or it protrudes and protrudes above the base cover.
- the projection and the recess extend in a parallel plane to the planar extent of the cover element or to the floor cover support, so that any engagement moments of the cover element arranged on the floor cover support are absorbed solely by the device due to the engagement of the projection in the recess.
- Bringing the cover element into the correct installation position is not enough by simply placing it on the base cover support.
- the cover element When the cover element is placed on the base cover support, it must still be moved in the direction of the extension of the projection until it has reached the correct installation position. If it is only placed on it, but not moved, it will not fit into the floor covering support and will stick out with one side above it.
- the cover element must be made of several parts or have at least one joint point so that the projection can be inserted into the recess.
- the projection is preferably a bar and the recess is a groove.
- the strip can be created, for example, by arranging an angular profile on a lateral section of the floor covering support. A groove corresponding to the bar is then to be formed on the cover element as a recess.
- the device can have at least one stop piece on the cover element and a recess on the base cover support corresponding to this stop piece.
- the device can also have at least one stop piece on the base cover support and a recess on the cover element corresponding to this stop piece.
- the cutout can also be formed on a cover element that can be installed downstream of the cover element. It applies to both versions that the stop piece protrudes into the recess when the installation position is correct and that the incorrectly installed position means that the at least one cover element is arranged so that it protrudes when the stop piece comes to rest.
- the recess can be designed as a hole, slot, blind hole, groove, pocket, recess and the like.
- the stop piece ensures the correct position of the cover element on the base cover support and leads to correct alignment of the support regions formed in the edge region of the cover element to the corresponding support locations formed on the base cover. If the installation position is correct, the stop piece protrudes into the recess and if the installation position is incorrect, the at least one cover element is arranged so that it protrudes visibly by the abutment of the stop piece.
- the device can be developed in a further development of the above Execution also have at least one elastic element which is arranged in the region of an end face of the cover element which faces away from the stop piece or the recess.
- This elastic element must be pressed together during assembly by pushing the cover element on the base cover support so that the cover element can be brought into the correct installation position between the elastic element and the stop piece. If the cover element is simply placed on the floor covering support, the stop piece is inevitably arranged offset to the recess due to the expanded elastic element, so that at least part of the cover element rests on the stop piece and is thus visibly projecting on the floor cover support.
- a nose can also be arranged on the stop piece, which extends parallel to the planar extent of the base cover support.
- a cover groove corresponding to the nose is then to be provided on the cover element, the nose being arranged so as to engage in the cover groove in the correct installation position of the cover element.
- the device preferably also has at least one sensor or switch by means of which the correct or incorrect installation position of the cover element can be monitored.
- the easiest way to do this is with a simple pressure switch or pushbutton which, for example, directly interrupts the energy supply to a drive motor of the passenger conveyor as soon as the cover element is in an incorrect installation position or is missing.
- the cover element can also be monitored by means of a sensor which transmits corresponding signals to a control of the passenger conveyor. This can then trigger suitable measures such as immediate braking (emergency stop) of the step belt or pallet belt.
- the base cover can also have a plurality of cover elements which lie on the base cover support and are arranged one after the other.
- at least one device is provided which forces the only possible correct installation position of at least one of the cover elements. Of at least one cover element, because the danger potential of a missing or incorrectly installed cover element can vary depending on its position in the order of the cover elements.
- an incorrectly installed first cover element which is then arranged on the comb plate on the base cover support, harbors very high risks for a user, since beneath this first cover element there are moving parts of the step belt or pallet belt that could immediately catch a falling person and could be life-threatening.
- Cover elements which are arranged further away from the comb plate on the floor covering support, on the other hand, cover a less critical or dangerous area of the underfloor space in which, for example, the control cabinet and further electrical installations are arranged.
- at least one device can be provided for each cover element.
- the individual cover elements can have connecting elements on the end faces that face other cover elements in the assembled state. These can be configured, for example, as a tongue and groove.
- a floor covering with several covering elements also has the advantage that only as many covering elements as necessary have to be removed if the access to the room with the technical facilities is to be exposed by removing the at least one covering element.
- At least one side surface of the cover element can be provided with a signal color.
- the side surface can also have at least one reflective element.
- at least one illuminant can also be provided on the side surface for the same purpose, alone or in combination with a signal color and / or a reflective element.
- the illuminant can be used continuously or flashing. Preferably that is Illuminant connected in such a way that its energy supply is interrupted immediately as soon as the cover element is in its correct installation position.
- the illuminant can be connected to the energy source in such a way that it does not light or flash when the cover element is in the incorrect installation position and lights up continuously when the cover element is arranged in the correct installation position on the base cover support.
- the light from the illuminant can reach the access area in order to illuminate it for the user and / or to indicate the direction in which the step belt or pallet belt runs.
- the at least one cover element When installing the base cover, the at least one cover element is placed on the base cover support. Then the cover element is brought into an intended, correct installation position at least by pushing and / or inserting a fastening means. This is followed by a visual check as to whether at least part of the cover element protrudes visibly from the base cover support. If this is the case, it must be checked whether the cover element is in its intended position on the base cover support and, if present, whether the fastener is correctly installed and, if necessary, is sufficiently tightened.
- an existing floor covering can be replaced by a floor covering according to the invention and an existing moving walk can thereby be modernized.
- a single possible, correct installation position on the floor covering support is also specified for the existing cover element, with the mounting element being flush with the floor covering support and its surrounding floor forming a flat, walkable surface, lying on the floor cover support and due to incorrect installation if the installation is correct the device is arranged at least a part of the cover element on the floor cover support protruding visibly.

Personenfördereinrichtungen wie zum Beispiel Fahrtreppen oder Fahrsteige dienen im Allgemeinen dazu, Personen oder Gegenstände auf einem mit Stufen versehenen Stufenband beziehungsweise einem mit Paletten versehenen Palettenband stehend entlang einer schräg geneigten beziehungsweise horizontalen Bahn zu befördern. Die Stufen beziehungsweise Paletten werden dabei mittels einer Fördereinrichtung entlang der schrägen beziehungsweise horizontalen Bahn verlagert, so dass beispielsweise eine Person in einem ersten Zutrittsbereich die Personenfördereinrichtung betreten und auf eine der Stufen beziehungsweise eine der Paletten steigen kann, um dann zusammen mit diesen hin zu einem am entgegengesetzten Ende der Personenfördereinrichtung befindlichen zweiten Zutrittsbereich befördert zu werden, wo die Person die Personenfördereinrichtung wieder verlassen kann.Passenger conveyors such as escalators or moving walks generally serve to convey people or objects standing on a step belt provided with steps or a pallet belt provided with pallets, standing upright along an inclined or horizontal path. The steps or pallets are shifted by means of a conveyor along the inclined or horizontal path, so that, for example, a person can enter the person conveyor in a first access area and climb onto one of the steps or one of the pallets and then together with them to an am opposite second end of the passenger conveyor to be conveyed where the person can leave the passenger conveyor again.
In den Zutrittsbereichen an entgegengesetzten Enden des Stufenbandes beziehungsweise Palettenbandes dient eine flächige Bodenabdeckung im Allgemeinen als begehbarer Fußboden dazu, eine Öffnung eines unterflur vorhandenen Raumes mit beispielsweise technischen Einrichtungen der Personenfördereinrichtung nach oben hin abzudecken, so dass Personen über den Zutrittsbereich hin zu den bewegten Stufen beziehungsweise Paletten gelangen können. In dem unterflur vorhandenen Raum können einerseits beispielsweise eine Umlenkachse mit Umlenkkettenrädern angeordnet sein und andererseits ein Antrieb, dessen Steuerung sowie ein Antriebsstrang mit Antriebswelle und Antriebskettenrädern untergebracht sein.In the access areas at opposite ends of the step belt or pallet belt, a flat floor cover is generally used as a walkable floor to cover an opening of an underfloor space with, for example, technical facilities of the passenger conveyor, so that people can move across the access area to the moving steps or Pallets can reach. In the underfloor space, on the one hand, for example, a deflection axis with deflection sprockets can be arranged and, on the other hand, a drive, its control and a drive train with a drive shaft and drive sprockets can be accommodated.
Die Bodenabdeckung kann dabei in einem der Zutrittsbereiche der Personenfördereinrichtung einerseits für einen begehbaren und möglichst bündigen Übergang zwischen beispielweise einem Boden des umgebenden Bauwerks und dem in der Personenfördereinrichtung bewegten Stufen- beziehungsweise Palettenband sorgen. Andererseits kann die Bodenabdeckung häufig entfernbar beziehungsweise aufklappbar ausgestaltet sein, um dann in den darunter befindlichen Raum mit den darin aufgenommenen Komponenten der Personenfördereinrichtung gelangen zu können, um diese beispielsweise reparieren oder warten zu können.The floor cover can be in one of the access areas of the passenger conveyor on the one hand for a walkable and as flush as possible Ensure transition between, for example, a floor of the surrounding structure and the step or pallet belt moved in the passenger conveyor. On the other hand, the base cover can often be designed to be removable or foldable, in order to then be able to get into the space underneath with the components of the passenger conveying device accommodated therein, in order, for example, to be able to repair or maintain it.
Die
Da sich wie vorangehend erwähnt, im unterflur vorhandenen Raum unterhalb der Bodenabdeckung üblicherweise der Umlenkbereich des Stufenbandes der Fahrtreppe oder des Palettenbandes des Fahrsteiges befindet, muss das Abdeckelement sicher auf der Bodenabdeckungsauflage angeordnet sein, so dass ungeachtet der Kraftwirkungsrichtung und des Kraftangriffspunktes einer auf das Abdeckelement einwirkenden, äußeren Kraft, dieses unter keinen Umständen auf der Bodenabdeckungsauflage rutscht, abhebt oder kippt und ungewollt eine Öffnung hin zum Raum mit den technischen Einrichtungen freigibt.As mentioned above, since the deflection area of the step belt of the escalator or the pallet belt of the moving walk is usually located in the underfloor space below the floor cover, the cover element must be arranged securely on the floor cover support, so that regardless of the direction of force and the point of application of force, one acting on the cover element , external force, this under no circumstances slips, lifts or tilts on the floor covering support and unintentionally releases an opening to the room with the technical equipment.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde eine Bodenabdeckung zu schaffen, welche den vorgenannten Anforderungen Rechnung trägt und eine fehlerhafte Montage weitgehend ausschließt.The invention has for its object to provide a floor covering which takes into account the aforementioned requirements and largely rules out incorrect installation.
Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Bodenabdeckung eines Zutrittsbereiches einer Personenfördereinrichtung die als Fahrtreppe oder Fahrsteig ausgebildet ist. Die Bodenabdeckung weist eine Bodenabdeckungsauflage und mindestens ein Abdeckelement auf. Durch die Bodenabdeckung ist die Öffnung eines unterflur beziehungsweise grubenseitig vorhandenen Raumes der Personenfördereinrichtung hin zum umgebenden, begehbaren Fußboden mittels mindestens eines auf die Bodenabdeckungsauflage aufgelegtes Abdeckelement bündig verschließbar. Die Bodenabdeckung beinhaltet mindestens eine Vorrichtung, die zumindest teilweise zwischen der Bodenabdeckungsauflage und dem mindestens ein Abdeckelement angeordnet ist. Mittels dieser Vorrichtung ist eine einzig mögliche, korrekte Einbaulage des mindestens einen Abdeckelementes auf einer Bodenabdeckungsauflage vorgegeben. Bei korrekter Montage stellt die Vorrichtung sicher, dass das Abdeckelement bündig auf der Bodenabdeckungsauflage aufliegend angeordnet ist. Bei unkorrekter Montage ist aufgrund der Vorrichtung zumindest ein Teil des Abdeckelementes auf der Bodenabdeckungsauflage sichtbar überstehend beziehungsweise überhöht angeordnet.This object is achieved by a floor covering of an access area of a passenger conveyor which is designed as an escalator or moving walk. The base cover has a base cover support and at least one cover element. Through the floor cover is the opening of an underfloor or space on the pit side of the passenger conveyor towards the surrounding, accessible floor can be closed flush with at least one cover element placed on the floor covering support. The base cover includes at least one device that is at least partially arranged between the base cover support and the at least one cover element. By means of this device, the only possible correct installation position of the at least one cover element on a floor cover support is predetermined. When installed correctly, the device ensures that the cover element is arranged flush on the base cover support. In the event of incorrect installation, at least part of the cover element on the base cover support is visibly protruding or elevated due to the device.
Durch das sichtbare Überstehen zumindest eines Teiles des Abdeckelementes ist sofort erkennbar, dass das Abdeckelement nicht korrekt montiert wurde. Damit zeigt die Vorrichtung auch für Laien einen gefährlichen Zustand an und erzwingt eine Überprüfung und Behebung des Mangels. Die Vorrichtung kann verschieden ausgestaltet sein, um bei unkorrekter Montage ein sichtbares Überstehen des Abdeckelementes zu erwirken. Je nach Ausführung der Vorrichtung ist diese oder Teile davon zwischen der Bodenabdeckungsauflage der Bodenabdeckung und dem mindestens ein Abdeckelement angeordnet.As a result of the visible protrusion of at least part of the cover element, it is immediately apparent that the cover element has not been installed correctly. The device thus indicates a dangerous state even for laypeople and forces the defect to be checked and remedied. The device can be designed differently in order to achieve a visible protrusion of the cover element when incorrectly installed. Depending on the design of the device, this or parts thereof is arranged between the base cover support of the base cover and the at least one cover element.
In einer Ausführung der Erfindung kann die Vorrichtung mindestens ein elastisches Element und ein Befestigungsmittel umfassen. Das mindestens eine Abdeckelement ist solange durch das elastische Element in der sichtbar überstehenden Lage gehalten, bis das Abdeckelement durch das Befestigungsmittel korrekt mit der Bodenabdeckungsauflage verbunden ist.In one embodiment of the invention, the device can comprise at least one elastic element and a fastening means. The at least one cover element is held in the visible projecting position by the elastic element until the cover element is correctly connected to the base cover support by the fastening means.
Das elastische Element kann ein Block elastischen Materials oder ein Federelement sein, welches beispielsweise an der Bodenabdeckungsauflage angeordnet ist. Wenn nun ein Abdeckelement auf die Bodenabdeckungsauflage gelegt wird, hält das Federelement zumindest ein Teil des Abdeckelementes auf der Bodenabdeckungsauflage in sichtbar überstehender Lage. Um das Abdeckelement in die korrekte Einbaulage zu bringen, muss dieses entgegen der Federkraft des elastischen Elements auf die Bodenabdeckungsauflage gedrückt und in dieser Lage durch das Befestigungsmittel fixiert werden. Das Befestigungsmittel kann beispielsweise eine Schraubverbindung oder eine Verriegelungsvorrichtung sein. Eine Schraubverbindung hat den Vorteil, dass diese zum Komprimieren des elastischen Elements herangezogen werden kann. Die vorgeschlagene erste Ausführung überwacht auch auf einfache Weise das Befestigungsmittel. Sobald sich die Schraubverbindung oder die Verriegelungsvorrichtung löst, rückt das elastische Element das Abdeckelement wieder in die unkorrekte Einbaulage zurück, was ohne Probleme visuell wahrnehmbar ist.The elastic element can be a block of elastic material or a spring element which is arranged, for example, on the base cover support. If a cover element is now placed on the base cover support, the spring element holds at least part of the cover element on the base cover support in a visibly protruding position. In order to bring the cover element into the correct installation position, it must be pressed against the spring force of the elastic element onto the base cover support and fixed in this position by the fastening means. The Fastening means can be, for example, a screw connection or a locking device. A screw connection has the advantage that it can be used to compress the elastic element. The proposed first embodiment also monitors the fastening means in a simple manner. As soon as the screw connection or the locking device is released, the elastic element moves the cover element back into the incorrect installation position, which is visually perceptible without problems.
Überdies können die Vorrichtung und insbesondere die Verriegelungsvorrichtung verschiedenste Ausprägungen aufweisen. Es kann beispielsweise ein Drehriegel oder ein Schieberiegel sein. Die Verriegelungsvorrichtung kann auch mit einem Schloss, beispielsweise mit einem Zylinderschloss kombiniert werden. Das elastische Element muss auch nicht zwingenderweise getrennt vom Befestigungsmittel angeordnet werden. Beispielsweise kann ein sogenannter Federschnäpper (Spring-Bolt) mit Einrastnase eingesetzt werden, wobei dessen Riegel durch das elastische Element vorstehend gehalten wird und dadurch das Abdeckelement solange in der unkorrekten Einbaulage überstehend angeordnet ist, bis dieses durch Betätigen und Einrasten des Federschnäppers die korrekte Einbaulage einnimmt.In addition, the device and in particular the locking device can have a wide variety of forms. It can be a rotary bolt or a sliding bolt, for example. The locking device can also be combined with a lock, for example with a cylinder lock. The elastic element also does not necessarily have to be arranged separately from the fastening means. For example, a so-called spring catch (spring bolt) with a snap-in lug can be used, the latch of which is held up by the elastic element and the cover element is thus arranged so as to protrude in the incorrect installation position until the spring clip catches the correct installation position by actuating and snapping it into place ,
In einer weiteren Ausführung der Erfindung kann die Vorrichtung mindestens einen Vorsprung am Abdeckelement und eine zu diesem Vorsprung korrespondierende Ausnehmung an der Bodenabdeckungsauflage aufweisen. Selbstverständlich können die mindestens eine Ausnehmung auch am Abdeckelement und ein zu dieser Ausnehmung korrespondierender Vorsprung an der Bodenabdeckungsauflage ausgebildet sein. Bei korrekter Einbaulage ragt der Vorsprung in die Ausnehmung und bei unkorrekter Einbaulage ist das mindestens eine Abdeckelement entweder durch ein Anstehen des Vorsprungs sichtbar überstehend angeordnet oder es ist über die Bodenabdeckung überstehend und hinausragend auf dieser angeordnet.In a further embodiment of the invention, the device can have at least one projection on the cover element and a recess on the base cover support corresponding to this projection. Of course, the at least one recess can also be formed on the cover element and a projection corresponding to this recess on the base cover support. If the installation position is correct, the projection protrudes into the recess and if the installation position is incorrect, the at least one cover element is either arranged so that it protrudes by the protrusion of the projection, or it protrudes and protrudes above the base cover.
Zu diesem Zweck erstrecken sich der Vorsprung und die Ausnehmung in einer parallelen Ebene zur flächigen Erstreckung des Abdeckelementes beziehungsweise zur Bodenabdeckungsauflage, so dass durch das Eingreifen des Vorsprungs in die Ausnehmung jegliche Kippmomente des auf der Bodenabdeckungsauflage angeordneten Abdeckelementes allein durch die Vorrichtung aufgenommen werden. Um das Abdeckelement in die korrekte Einbaulage zu bringen, reich nicht nur ein einfaches Auflegen desselben auf der Bodenabdeckungsauflage. Das Abdeckelement muss, wenn es auf der Bodenabdeckungsauflage aufgelegt ist, noch in Richtung der Erstreckung des Vorsprungs verschoben werden, bis es die korrekte Einbaulage erreicht hat. Wenn es nur aufgelegt, aber nicht verschoben wird, passt es nicht in die Bodenabdeckungsauflage hinein und steht mit einer Seite über diese ab. Gegebenenfalls muss das Abdeckelement mehrteilig ausgeführt sein oder mindestens eine Gelenkstelle aufweisen, damit der Vorsprung in die Ausnehmung eingefügt werden kann.For this purpose, the projection and the recess extend in a parallel plane to the planar extent of the cover element or to the floor cover support, so that any engagement moments of the cover element arranged on the floor cover support are absorbed solely by the device due to the engagement of the projection in the recess. To do that Bringing the cover element into the correct installation position is not enough by simply placing it on the base cover support. When the cover element is placed on the base cover support, it must still be moved in the direction of the extension of the projection until it has reached the correct installation position. If it is only placed on it, but not moved, it will not fit into the floor covering support and will stick out with one side above it. If necessary, the cover element must be made of several parts or have at least one joint point so that the projection can be inserted into the recess.
Vorzugsweise sind der Vorsprung eine Leiste und die Ausnehmung eine Nut. Die Leiste kann beispielsweise dadurch geschaffen werden, indem ein Winkelprofil an einem seitlichen Abschnitt der Bodenabdeckungsauflage angeordnet wird. Am Abdeckelement ist dann als Ausnehmung eine zur Leiste korrespondierende Nut auszubilden.The projection is preferably a bar and the recess is a groove. The strip can be created, for example, by arranging an angular profile on a lateral section of the floor covering support. A groove corresponding to the bar is then to be formed on the cover element as a recess.
In einer weiteren Ausführung der Erfindung kann die Vorrichtung mindestens ein Anschlagstück am Abdeckelement und eine zu diesem Anschlagstück korrespondierende Aussparung an der Bodenabdeckungsauflage aufweisen. Selbstverständlich kann die Vorrichtung auch mindestens ein Anschlagstück an der Bodenabdeckungsauflage und ein zu diesem Anschlagstück korrespondierende Aussparung am Abdeckelement aufweisen. Sofern mehrere Abdeckelemente vorhanden sind, kann die Aussparung auch an einem, dem Abdeckelement nachfolgend montierbaren Abdeckelement ausgebildet sein. Für beide Ausführungen gilt, dass bei korrekter Einbaulage das Anschlagstück in die Aussparung ragt und bei unkorrekter Einbaulage das mindestens eine Abdeckelement durch ein Anstehen des Anschlagstückes sichtbar überstehend angeordnet ist. Die Aussparung kann als Loch, Langloch, Sackloch, Nut, Tasche, Rücksprung und dergleichen mehr ausgebildet sein. Das Anschlagstück sichert die korrekte Lage des Abdeckelementes auf der Bodenabdeckungsauflage und führt zu einer korrekten Ausrichtung von im Randbereich des Abdeckelementes ausgebildeten Abstützbereichen zu den dazu korrespondierenden, an der Bodenabdeckung ausgebildeten Auflagestellen. Bei korrekter Einbaulage ragt das Anschlagstück in die Ausnehmung und bei unkorrekter Einbaulage ist das mindestens eine Abdeckelement durch ein Anstehen des Anschlagstücks sichtbar überstehend angeordnet.In a further embodiment of the invention, the device can have at least one stop piece on the cover element and a recess on the base cover support corresponding to this stop piece. Of course, the device can also have at least one stop piece on the base cover support and a recess on the cover element corresponding to this stop piece. If there are several cover elements, the cutout can also be formed on a cover element that can be installed downstream of the cover element. It applies to both versions that the stop piece protrudes into the recess when the installation position is correct and that the incorrectly installed position means that the at least one cover element is arranged so that it protrudes when the stop piece comes to rest. The recess can be designed as a hole, slot, blind hole, groove, pocket, recess and the like. The stop piece ensures the correct position of the cover element on the base cover support and leads to correct alignment of the support regions formed in the edge region of the cover element to the corresponding support locations formed on the base cover. If the installation position is correct, the stop piece protrudes into the recess and if the installation position is incorrect, the at least one cover element is arranged so that it protrudes visibly by the abutment of the stop piece.
Ferner kann die Vorrichtung in einer Weiterbildung der vorangehend beschriebenen Ausführung auch mindestens ein elastisches Element aufweisen, das im Bereich einer Stirnseite des Abdeckelementes angeordnet ist, die dem Anschlagstück oder der Aussparung abgewandt ist. Dieses elastische Element muss bei der Montage durch Schieben des Abdeckelementes auf der Bodenabdeckungsauflage zusammengedrückt werden, damit das Abdeckelement zwischen dem elastischen Element und dem Anschlagstück in die korrekte Einbaulage gebracht werden kann. Wenn das Abdeckelement einfach auf die Bodenabdeckungsauflage gelegt wird, ist aufgrund des expandierten elastischen Elementes zwangsläufig das Anschlagstück versetzt zur Aussparung angeordnet, so dass zumindest ein Teil des Abdeckelementes auf dem Anschlagstück ansteht und dadurch sichtbar überstehend auf der Bodenabdeckungsauflage angeordnet ist.Furthermore, the device can be developed in a further development of the above Execution also have at least one elastic element which is arranged in the region of an end face of the cover element which faces away from the stop piece or the recess. This elastic element must be pressed together during assembly by pushing the cover element on the base cover support so that the cover element can be brought into the correct installation position between the elastic element and the stop piece. If the cover element is simply placed on the floor covering support, the stop piece is inevitably arranged offset to the recess due to the expanded elastic element, so that at least part of the cover element rests on the stop piece and is thus visibly projecting on the floor cover support.
Des Weiteren kann am Anschlagstück auch eine Nase angeordnet sein, die sich parallel zur flächigen Ausdehnung der Bodenabdeckungsauflage erstreckt. Am Abdeckelement ist dann eine zur Nase korrespondierende Deckelnut vorzusehen, wobei in korrekter Einbaulage des Abdeckelementes die Nase in der Deckelnut eingreifend angeordnet ist. Diese Abwandlung des Anschlagstücks ermöglicht, dass die Kippmomente des auf der Bodenabdeckungsauflage angeordneten Abdeckelementes allein durch die Vorrichtung aufgenommen werden können.Furthermore, a nose can also be arranged on the stop piece, which extends parallel to the planar extent of the base cover support. A cover groove corresponding to the nose is then to be provided on the cover element, the nose being arranged so as to engage in the cover groove in the correct installation position of the cover element. This modification of the stop piece enables the tilting moments of the cover element arranged on the base cover support to be absorbed solely by the device.
Vorzugsweise weist die Vorrichtung zudem mindestens einen Sensor oder Schalter auf, durch den die korrekte beziehungsweise unkorrekte Einbaulage des Abdeckelementes überwacht werden kann. Am einfachsten kann dies mit einem einfachen Druckschalter beziehungsweise Taster realisiert werden, der beispielsweise direkt die Energiezufuhr zu einem Antriebsmotor der Personenfördereinrichtung unterbricht, sobald das Abdeckelement in einer unkorrekten Einbaulage ist oder fehlt. Selbstverständlich kann das Abdeckelement auch mittels eines Sensors überwacht werden, der entsprechende Signale an eine Steuerung der Personenfördereinrichtung übermittelt. Diese kann dann geeignete Maßnahmen auslösen wie beispielsweise eine sofortige Bremsung (Not-Stopp) des Stufenbandes oder Palettenbandes.The device preferably also has at least one sensor or switch by means of which the correct or incorrect installation position of the cover element can be monitored. The easiest way to do this is with a simple pressure switch or pushbutton which, for example, directly interrupts the energy supply to a drive motor of the passenger conveyor as soon as the cover element is in an incorrect installation position or is missing. Of course, the cover element can also be monitored by means of a sensor which transmits corresponding signals to a control of the passenger conveyor. This can then trigger suitable measures such as immediate braking (emergency stop) of the step belt or pallet belt.
Da sich die Bodenabdeckung eines Fahrsteiges oder einer Fahrtreppe üblicherweise über eine recht große Fläche erstreckt, weist ein Abdeckelement, welches die ganze Fläche überspannt, ein sehr hohes Gewicht auf. Um die Handhabung für das Montage- und Wartungspersonal zu erleichtern, kann die Bodenabdeckung auch mehrere Abdeckelemente aufweisen, welche auf der Bodenabdeckungsauflage aufliegend und einander anschließend angeordnet sind. Erfindungsgemäss ist mindestens eine Vorrichtung vorgesehen, welche die einzig mögliche, korrekte Einbaulage von mindestens einem der Abdeckelemente erzwingt. Von mindestens einem Abdeckelement deshalb, weil das Gefahrenpotential eines fehlenden oder unkorrekt montierten Abdeckelementes je nach seiner Position in der Reihenfolge aufgelegter Abdeckelemente unterschiedlich sein kann. Beispielsweise birgt ein unkorrekt montiertes erstes Abdeckelement, das der Kammplatte anschließend auf der Bodenabdeckungsauflage angeordnet ist, sehr hohe Gefahren für einen Benutzer, da unterhalb dieses ersten Abdeckelementes bewegte Teile des Stufenbandes oder Palettenbandes vorhanden sind, die eine hineinfallende Person sofort erfassen und lebensgefährlich verletzen könnten. Abdeckelemente, die weiter von der Kammplatte entfernt auf der Bodenabdeckungsauflage angeordnet sind, decken hingegen einen weniger kritischen beziehungsweise gefährlichen Bereich des unterflur vorhandenen Raumes ab, in welchem beispielsweise der Steuerungsschrank und weitere Elektroinstallationen angeordnet sind. Selbstverständlich kann für jedes Abdeckelement mindestens eine Vorrichtung vorgesehen sein. Die einzelnen Abdeckelemente können an den Stirnseiten, die in montiertem Zustand anderen Abdeckelementen zugewandt sind, Verbindungselemente aufweisen. Diese können beispielsweise als Nut und Feder ausgestaltet sein.Since the floor covering of a moving walk or an escalator usually extends over a fairly large area, a cover element which spans the entire area is very heavy. To handle for assembly and To facilitate maintenance personnel, the base cover can also have a plurality of cover elements which lie on the base cover support and are arranged one after the other. According to the invention, at least one device is provided which forces the only possible correct installation position of at least one of the cover elements. Of at least one cover element, because the danger potential of a missing or incorrectly installed cover element can vary depending on its position in the order of the cover elements. For example, an incorrectly installed first cover element, which is then arranged on the comb plate on the base cover support, harbors very high risks for a user, since beneath this first cover element there are moving parts of the step belt or pallet belt that could immediately catch a falling person and could be life-threatening. Cover elements, which are arranged further away from the comb plate on the floor covering support, on the other hand, cover a less critical or dangerous area of the underfloor space in which, for example, the control cabinet and further electrical installations are arranged. Of course, at least one device can be provided for each cover element. The individual cover elements can have connecting elements on the end faces that face other cover elements in the assembled state. These can be configured, for example, as a tongue and groove.
Eine Bodenabdeckung mit mehreren Abdeckelementen hat zudem den Vorteil, dass nur so viele Abdeckelemente wie nötig entfernt werden müssen, wenn durch Entfernen des mindestens einen Abdeckelementes der Zugang zum Raum mit den technischen Einrichtungen freigelegt werden soll.A floor covering with several covering elements also has the advantage that only as many covering elements as necessary have to be removed if the access to the room with the technical facilities is to be exposed by removing the at least one covering element.
Um das zumindest teilweise Überstehen eines unkorrekt montierten Abdeckelementes noch besser wahrnehmbar zu machen, kann zumindest eine Seitenfläche des Abdeckelementes mit einer Signalfarbe versehen sein. Anstelle oder in Kombination mit der Signalfarbe kann die Seitenfläche auch mindestens ein reflektierendes Element aufweisen. Selbstverständlich kann zum selben Zweck auch mindestens ein Leuchtmittel an der Seitenfläche vorgesehen sein, alleine oder auch in Kombination mit einer Signalfarbe und /oder einem reflektierenden Element. Das Leuchtmittel kann kontinuierlich leuchtend oder auch blinkend eingesetzt werden. Vorzugsweise wird das Leuchtmittel so angeschlossen, dass dessen Energiezufuhr sofort unterbrochen wird, sobald das Abdeckelement in seiner korrekten Einbaulage ist. Alternativ kann das Leuchtmittel derart mit der Energiequelle verbunden sein, dass es nicht leuchtet oder blinkt, wenn das Abdeckelement in unkorrekter Einbaulage ist und kontinuierlich leuchtet, wenn das Abdeckelement in korrekter Einbaulage auf der Bodenabdeckungsauflage angeordnet ist. In diesem Falle ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Licht des Leuchtmittels in den Zutrittsbereich gelangen kann, um diesen für die Benutzer auszuleuchten und/oder anzuzeigen, in welcher Umlaufrichtung das Stufenband oder Palettenband läuft.In order to make the at least partial projecting of an incorrectly mounted cover element even more perceptible, at least one side surface of the cover element can be provided with a signal color. Instead of or in combination with the signal color, the side surface can also have at least one reflective element. Of course, at least one illuminant can also be provided on the side surface for the same purpose, alone or in combination with a signal color and / or a reflective element. The illuminant can be used continuously or flashing. Preferably that is Illuminant connected in such a way that its energy supply is interrupted immediately as soon as the cover element is in its correct installation position. Alternatively, the illuminant can be connected to the energy source in such a way that it does not light or flash when the cover element is in the incorrect installation position and lights up continuously when the cover element is arranged in the correct installation position on the base cover support. In this case, it is advantageous if the light from the illuminant can reach the access area in order to illuminate it for the user and / or to indicate the direction in which the step belt or pallet belt runs.
Bei der Montage der Bodenabdeckung wird das mindestens eine Abdeckelement auf die Bodenabdeckungsauflage aufgelegt. Dann wird das Abdeckelement zumindest durch Schieben und/oder Einsetzen eines Befestigungsmittels in eine vorgesehene, korrekte Einbaulage gebracht. Anschließend erfolgt eine visuelle Kontrolle, ob zumindest ein Teil des Abdeckelementes von der Bodenabdeckungsauflage sichtbar übersteht. Wenn dies der Fall ist, muss überprüft werden, ob das Abdeckelement seine vorgesehene Position auf der Bodenabdeckungsauflage innehat und sofern vorhanden, ob das Befestigungsmittel korrekt montiert und gegebenenfalls ausreichend festgezogen ist.When installing the base cover, the at least one cover element is placed on the base cover support. Then the cover element is brought into an intended, correct installation position at least by pushing and / or inserting a fastening means. This is followed by a visual check as to whether at least part of the cover element protrudes visibly from the base cover support. If this is the case, it must be checked whether the cover element is in its intended position on the base cover support and, if present, whether the fastener is correctly installed and, if necessary, is sufficiently tightened.
Selbstverständlich kann die Erfindung nicht nur in neuen Fahrtreppen oder Fahrsteigen verwendet werden. Beispielsweise kann eine bestehende Bodenabdeckung durch eine erfindungsgemäße Bodenabdeckung ersetzt und dadurch ein bestehender Fahrsteig modernisiert werden. Selbstverständlich ist es auch möglich, eine bestehende Bodenabdeckung mit mindestens einer Vorrichtung zu ergänzen, welche zumindest teilweise zwischen der Bodenabdeckungsauflage und dem mindestens ein Abdeckelement angeordnet ist. Dadurch ist auch für das bestehende Abdeckelement eine einzige mögliche, korrekte Einbaulage auf der Bodenabdeckungsauflage vorgegeben, wobei bei korrekter Montage das Abdeckelement bündig beziehungsweise mit der Bodenabdeckungsauflage und deren umgebendem Boden eine ebene begehbare Fläche bildend, auf der Bodenabdeckungsauflage aufliegend angeordnet ist und bei unkorrekter Montage aufgrund der Vorrichtung zumindest ein Teil des Abdeckelementes auf der Bodenabdeckungsauflage sichtbar überstehend angeordnet ist.Of course, the invention cannot only be used in new escalators or moving walks. For example, an existing floor covering can be replaced by a floor covering according to the invention and an existing moving walk can thereby be modernized. Of course, it is also possible to supplement an existing floor cover with at least one device which is at least partially arranged between the floor cover support and the at least one cover element. As a result, a single possible, correct installation position on the floor covering support is also specified for the existing cover element, with the mounting element being flush with the floor covering support and its surrounding floor forming a flat, walkable surface, lying on the floor cover support and due to incorrect installation if the installation is correct the device is arranged at least a part of the cover element on the floor cover support protruding visibly.

Bei der Montage der Bodenabdeckung 1 muss das Montage- oder Wartungspersonal besonders darauf achten, dass das erste Abdeckelement 2 mit seiner verjüngenden Seite 8 sicher auf der Kammplatte 18 aufliegt. Um ein Wegrutschen und Abkippen zu verhindern, wird das erste Abdeckelement 2 im Bereich von dessen linken Stirnseite 15 mittels eines Befestigungsmittels 16 mit der Bodenabdeckungsauflage 12 fest verbunden. Das Befestigungsmittel kann beispielsweise eine Schraubverbindung 16 sein. Da dieses Befestigungsmittel 16 bei vollständig montierter Bodenabdeckung 1 nicht sichtbar ist, kann auch nicht erkannt werden, wenn aufgrund eines Montagefehlers beispielsweise die Mutter der Schraubverbindung 16 fehlt.When installing the
Um diese Situation auszuschließen, sieht die vorliegende Erfindung vor, dass die Bodenabdeckung 1 mindestens eine Vorrichtung 20 beinhaltet, mittels welcher eine einzig mögliche, korrekte Einbaulage des mindestens einen Abdeckelementes 2 bis 6 auf der Bodenabdeckungsauflage 12 vorgegeben ist. Dabei ist die Vorrichtung 20 zumindest teilweise zwischen der Bodenabdeckungsauflage 12 und dem mindestens ein Abdeckelement 2 bis 6 angeordnet. Eine korrekte Montage wird dadurch signalisiert, dass das Abdeckelement 2 bis 6 bündig auf der Bodenabdeckungsauflage 12 aufliegend angeordnet ist. Bei unkorrekter Montage ist aufgrund der Vorrichtung 20 zumindest ein Teil des Abdeckelementes 2 bis 6 auf der Bodenabdeckungsauflage 12 sichtbar überstehend angeordnet.In order to rule out this situation, the present invention provides that the

Die Bodenabdeckungsauflage 12 kann ein aus Winkelprofilen gefertigter Rahmen sein. Diese Winkelprofile können aus Stahlblech gefertigt sein, welche mittels eines Stanzverfahrens aus einer Blechplatte geschnitten und zu Winkelprofilen gebogen werden. Im Zuge des Austanzens des Bleches kann das Federelement 21 gleich mitgeprägt werden. Selbstverständlich kann das Federelement 21 auch als separates Bauteil gefertigt und dann an der Bodenabdeckungsauflage 12 befestigt werden. Als Federelemente 21 können alle gängigen Federtypen wie Blattfedern, Tellerfedern, Schraubendruckfedern, Drehfedern, Spiralfedern, Schenkelfedern und dergleichen mehr eingesetzt werden, solange sie geeignet sind, das zugeordnete Abdeckelement 2 bei unkorrekter Einbaulage X1 von der Bodenabdeckungsauflage 12 sichtbar überstehend abzuheben und zu halten.The

Anstelle des dargestellten, linear verschiebbaren Riegels 33 kann auch ein im Abdeckelement 2 gelagerter Drehriegel verwendet werden, dessen Drehachse vertikal zur flächigen Erstreckung des Abdeckelementes 2 angeordnet ist. Dieser Drehriegel kann beispielsweise von der begehbaren Fläche des Abdeckelementes 2 her mit einem Spezialschlüssel betätigt werden.Instead of the illustrated, linearly
Alternativ oder zusätzlich zur Verriegelungsvorrichtung 32 kann bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel mit einem Block aus elastischem Material 31, selbstverständlich auch die Schraubverbindung 16 des ersten Ausführungsbeispiels verwendet werden. Diese Variante kann einfach auf allen bestehenden Personenfördereinrichtungen 100 nachgerüstet werden und dadurch die Sicherheit bestehender Fahrtreppen beziehungsweise Fahrsteige erheblich verbessern.As an alternative or in addition to the locking device 32, the
Besonders vorteilhaft ist, wenn ein unkorrekt montiertes Abdeckelement 2 bis 6 der Bodenabdeckung 1 direkt den Betriebszustand der Personenfördereinrichtung 100 beeinflusst. Um dies zu erreichen, kann wie in der
Alternativ kann der Schalter 25 oder Sensor 25 ein der Einbaulage des Abdeckelementes 2 bis 6 entsprechendes Signal an eine Steuerung der Personenfördereinrichtung 100 übermitteln, so dass bei unkorrekter Einbaulage X1 (siehe

Zwischen der zur Kammplatte 18 gerichteten Seitenfläche 43 des ersten Abdeckelementes 2 und der Kammplatte 18 ist das leistenförmig ausgestaltete, elastische Element 42 angeordnet, welches in komprimiertem Zustand dargestellt ist. Nicht komprimiert ist das elastische Element 42 soweit ausragend, dass die gegenüberliegende Seite mit der Seitenfläche 44 des ersten Abdeckelementes 2 auf dem Anschlagstück 41 aufsitzt und damit sichtbar überstehend auf der Bodenabdeckungsauflage 12 angeordnet ist. Um das erste Abdeckelement 2 korrekt zu montieren, muss es beim Auflegen auf die Bodenabdeckungsauflage 12 gegen die Kammplatte 18 gepresst werden, so dass das elastische Element 42 soweit zusammengedrückt wird, bis die gegenüberliegende Seitenfläche 44 am Anschlagstück 41 vorbei und diese Seite des ersten Abdeckelementes 2 auf die Bodenabdeckungsauflage 12 aufgelegt werden kann.Between the
Es versteht sich von selbst, dass das nachfolgend aufzulegende Abdeckelement 3 (nicht dargestellt) eine zum Anschlagstück 41 korrespondierende Aussparung aufweisen muss, damit es nicht auf dem Anschlagstück 41 aufliegt und dadurch sichtbar überstehend auf der Bodenabdeckungsauflage 12 angeordnet ist. Durch das Anschlagstück wird verhindert, dass das erste Abdeckelement 2 von der Kammplatte 18 weg und damit vom Abstützbereich 19 der Kammplatte 18 abrutscht und kippt.It goes without saying that the cover element 3 (not shown) to be subsequently placed must have a recess corresponding to the stop piece 41, so that it does not rest on the stop piece 41 and is therefore arranged so as to protrude from the
Damit das zumindest teilweise Überstehen eines unkorrekt montierten Abdeckelementes 2 bis 6 noch besser wahrnehmbar ist, kann wie anhand des ersten Abdeckelementes 2 dargestellt, zumindest eine Seitenfläche 44 des Abdeckelementes 2 mit einer Signalfarbe 45 wie beispielsweise Neongelb, Neonorange und dergleichen mehr, versehen sein.So that the at least partial protrusion of an incorrectly installed
Anstelle oder in Kombination mit der Signalfarbe 45 kann die Seitenfläche 44 auch mindestens ein reflektierendes Element 46 aufweisen. Selbstverständlich kann zum selben Zweck auch mindestens ein Leuchtmittel 47 an der Seitenfläche 44 vorgesehen sein, wie dies durch den in einer Nut 48 angeordneten Leuchtkörper 47 schematisch dargestellt ist. Das Leuchtmittel 47 kann alleine oder auch in Kombination mit einer Signalfarbe 45 und /oder einem reflektierenden Element 46 verwendet werden.Instead of or in combination with the

Wie dargestellt, kann die Vorrichtung 60 mindestens einen Vorsprung 62 an der Bodenabdeckungsauflage 12 und eine zu diesem Vorsprung 62 korrespondierende Ausnehmung 61 am Abdeckelement 2 aufweisen. Selbstverständlich können die mindestens eine Ausnehmung 61 auch an der Bodenabdeckungsauflage 12 und ein zu dieser Ausnehmung 61 korrespondierender Vorsprung am Abdeckelement 2 ausgebildet sein. Bei korrekter Einbaulage X0 ragt der Vorsprung 62 wie in
Um die einzig korrekte Einbaulage X0 des Abdeckelementes 2 zu erzwingen, erstrecken sich der Vorsprung 62 und die Ausnehmung 61 in einer parallelen Ebene zur flächigen Erstreckung des Abdeckelementes 2 beziehungsweise zur Bodenabdeckungsauflage 12, so dass durch das Eingreifen des Vorsprungs 62 in die Ausnehmung 61 jegliche Kippmomente des auf der Bodenabdeckungsauflage 12 angeordneten Abdeckelementes 2 allein durch die Vorrichtung 60 aufgenommen beziehungsweise abgestützt werden. Um das Abdeckelement 2 in die korrekte Einbaulage X0 zu bringen, reich nicht nur ein einfaches Auflegen desselben auf der Bodenabdeckungsauflage 12 aus. Das Abdeckelement 2 muss, wenn es auf der Bodenabdeckungsauflage 12 aufgelegt ist, noch in Richtung der Erstreckung des Vorsprungs 62 verschoben werden, bis es die korrekte Einbaulage X0 erreicht hat. Wenn es nur aufgelegt, aber nicht verschoben wird, passt es nicht in die Bodenabdeckungsauflage 12 hinein und steht mit einer Seite über diese ab. Gegebenenfalls muss das Abdeckelement 2 mehrteilig ausgeführt sein oder mindestens eine Gelenkstelle aufweisen, damit der Vorsprung 62 in die Ausnehmung 61 eingefügt werden kann.In order to force the only correct installation position X 0 of the
Vorzugsweise ist der Vorsprung 62 eine Leiste und die Aussparung 61 eine Nut. Die Leiste kann beispielsweise dadurch geschaffen werden, indem wie den
Obwohl die Erfindung durch die Darstellung spezifischer Ausführungsbeispiele beschrieben worden ist, ist es offensichtlich, dass zahlreiche weitere Ausführungsvarianten in Kenntnis der vorliegenden Erfindung geschaffen werden können, beispielsweise indem bei jeder der Ausführungsvarianten ein Sensor 25 oder Schalter 25 zur Überwachung der korrekten Montage des ersten Abdeckelementes 2 verwendet wird. Ferner kann das erste Abdeckelement 2 auch mehrere Vorrichtungen 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 aufweisen. Alle Ausführungsbeispiele können auch bei Bodenabdeckungen 1 verwendet werden, die mehrere Abdeckelemente 2 bis 6 aufweisen. Bei solchen Bodenabdeckungen 1 kann für jedes der Abdeckelemente 2 bis 6 mindestens eine Vorrichtung 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 vorhanden sein. Zudem spielt es grundsätzlich keine Rolle, welcher Teil des Befestigungselementes 16 oder der Verriegelungsvorrichtung 32 am Abdeckelement 2 bis 6 oder an der Bodenabdeckungsauflage 12 angeordnet ist. Beispielsweise kann die Verriegelungsvorrichtung 32 am Abdeckelement 2 bis 6 angeordnet, und die Bohrung, in die der Riegel 33 eingreifen soll, an der Bodenabdeckungsauflage 12 ausgebildet sein. Selbstverständlich kann die Verriegelungsvorrichtung 32 auch an der Bodenabdeckungsauflage 12 angeordnet, und die Bohrung, in die der Riegel 33 eingreifen soll, am Abdeckelement 2 bis 6 ausgebildet sein.Although the invention has been described by the representation of specific exemplary embodiments, it is obvious that numerous further embodiment variants are created in the knowledge of the present invention can, for example by using a
