Claims
- 1. Method for the assembly/dismantling of axles and/or steps or pallets of escalators or moving sidewalks, comprising: providing between parallel extending traction elements a plurality of axles and connecting the axles to the traction elements; providing the axles with flattened zones in assembly regions for the steps or pallets and providing the respective assembly regions with an approximately eyelet-shaped design that has a corresponding slot fitted onto the respective flattened zones for the axles; turning the axles at a predetermined angle around their longitudinal axis relative to the steps or pallets; and subsequently inserting at least one connecting element for securing the axles relative to the steps or pallets into each respective assembly regions.
- 2. Method according to claim 1, wherein the turning step includes turning the axles around their longitudinal axis until the flattened areas come to rest outside of the approximately parallel extending surfaces for the slots.
- 3. Method according to the claim 1, where the turning steps include turning the axles around their longitudinal axis by about 30.degree..
- 4. Method according to the claim 1, further including dismantling the steps or pallets by removing the connecting element, turning the axles back to their starting position and removing the steps or pallets from the flattened zones on the axles.
- 5. Method according to the claim 1, wherein the axles include at least two individual parts telescope together and secured relative to one another by a connection, and the method further includes dismantling the axles by initially releasing the connection between the individual parts and subsequently pushing the individual parts together telescopically to create a distance between the traction elements such that the axles can be pulled off receiving elements provided at the traction elements and removed from between the traction elements.
