Patent ID: 7997400

Claim:
A transport system for the movement of passengers/goods formed by a moving endless belt comprising: a plurality of pallet assemblies, wherein a relative difference between pallet assemblies is variable and in which each assembly: has a support surface configured to support a passenger/good; and comprises a driven pallet driven by a drive pallet hinged to one another according to an axis perpendicular to a movement direction D of the endless belt; actuating means for transmitting an actuating movement from at least one motor; first drive means configured to transmit a drive movement from first actuating means to the plurality of pallet assemblies in a low speed section located in an embarking/disembarking area of the endless belt, wherein the first drive means comprise two pairs of first chains parallel according to the movement direction D, a first pair in the embarking area and a second pair in the disembarking area, and forward movement and return sections of which run between forward movement and return sections of the endless belt; second drive means configured to transmit a drive movement from second actuating means to the plurality of pallet assemblies in a high speed section located in a middle area of the endless belt; third drive means configured to transmit a drive movement from third actuating means to the plurality of pallet assemblies in a transitional speed section located between the embarking/disembarking area and the middle area of the endless belt; and wherein: the plurality of pallet assemblies comprise: a functional surface opposite to the support surface and having first meshing means; and the first drive means, the second drive means and the third drive means comprise second meshing means having a shape conjugated with the first meshing means, so that the drive pallets are driven by the first drive means, the second drive means and the third drive means by means of a meshing between the first meshing means and the second meshing means and driving the plurality of pallet assemblies in the movement direction D.
