Definitions
- the invention relates to transporting and moving systems in general and particularly to systems for moving and transporting people and more particularly to moving walkways and to moving walkway installations.
- Moving walkways are moving systems where people are transported in horizontal direction. Moving walkways are especially suitable for flight terminals and railway stations there can be long transfer distances within a building, between different buildings and outside.
- a traveling platform usually comprises a conveying section in which the conveying elements are visible and accessible to a passenger when they are in this section, in which case a person can move on them and in which section the conveying elements are moved in a first direction.
- the moving walkways In some moving walkway installations, the moving walkways have to be built on top of the floor level. This typically makes the moving walkway installations too tall, which is not desirable and simply takes too much space.
- Another drawback of the prior art moving walkway installations is that the moving walkways have complex configurations and thereby making the moving walkway installations complex to install.
- the object of the invention is to introduce a structurally simple moving walkway structure, which can also be built on top of the floor level without taking too much space, and which moving walkway structure provides a straightforward solution for installation, operation and maintenance.
