Abstract
The disclosure relates to a rail fastening device for fastening guide rail sections in a guide rail system of an escalator or a moving walkway. The guide rail system includes at least one side plate having a hole, wherein the area of the hole has a hole length which is greater than its hole width. The rail fastening device has a rail receiving part, a screw connection and a clamping bar piece, wherein the length and width of the clamping bar piece match the hole width and the hole length of the hole such that said clamping bar piece can be guided through the hole in a first position and can be supported on the material of the side plate surrounding the hole in a second position, in the fully assembled state.
Claims19
A rail fastening device for fastening guide rail sections in a guide rail system of an escalator or a moving walkway, wherein the guide rail system comprises at least one side plate having a hole, an area of the hole having a hole length which is greater than a hole width, the rail fastening device comprising:
- a rail receiving part, a screw connection, and a clamping bar piece, wherein the rail fastening device is configured to transition from a pre-assembled state into a fully assembled state;
- wherein, in the pre-assembled state, the clamping bar piece is connected to the rail receiving part by the screw connection such that that the clamping bar piece is pivotable relative to the rail receiving part about a central longitudinal axis of the screw connection;
- wherein the rail receiving part comprises a rail receiving region and a support surface, wherein the support surface is supported against the side plate in the fully assembled state;
- and
- wherein a length and a width of the clamping bar piece correspond to the hole width and the hole length of the hole such that the clamping bar piece can be guided through the hole in a first position and can be supported on the side plate surrounding the hole in a second position, in the fully assembled state.
A guide rail system of an escalator or a moving walkway, the guide rail system comprising:
- at least one guide rail section and at least one side plate having at least one hole, an area of the at least one hole having a hole length which is greater than its hole width;
- and
- at least one rail fastening device arranged in the at least one hole, the at least one rail fastening device fastening the at least one guide rail section is fastened to the at least one side plate, and the at least one rail fastening device comprising:
- a rail receiving part, a screw connection, and a clamping bar piece, wherein the rail fastening device is configured to transition from a pre-assembled state into a fully assembled state;
- wherein, in the pre-assembled state, the clamping bar piece is connected to the rail receiving part by the screw connection such that that the clamping bar piece is pivotable relative to the rail receiving part about a central longitudinal axis of the screw connection;
- wherein the rail receiving part comprises a rail receiving region and a support surface, wherein the support surface is supported against the side plate in the fully assembled state;
- and
- wherein a length and a width of the clamping bar piece correspond to the hole width and the hole length of the hole such that the clamping bar piece can be guided through the hole in a first position and can be supported on the side plate surrounding the hole in a second position, in the fully assembled state.
