Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow even a child with small hands to grasp a narrow-width section simply and reliably and to improve safety by forming narrow-width sections and wide-width sections on handrails in a passenger conveyor having handrails traveled synchronously with treads on balustrades erected on the right and left of the treads. SOLUTION: A passenger conveyor 1 is provided with treads 2 conveying people on them, balustrades 3 erected on the right and left of the treads 2, and handrails 4 traveled synchronously with the treads 2 on the balustrades 3. The handrails 4 are formed with wide-width sections 5 set to the normal width, e.g. 82 mm, and narrow-width sections set to a width, e.g. about 40 mm. A child with small hands is allowed to grasp the narrow-width section 6 in supporting the handrail 4. Even the child can utilize the passenger conveyor 1 safely.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a passenger conveyor, and more particularly to a passenger conveyor provided with a handrail.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, in a conventional passenger conveyor such as an escalator or an electric road, a handrail is provided on a balustrade provided upright on the left and right sides of a tread plate in synchronization with the tread plate. . The width of the handrail is usually 82 mm, which is a constant width.

[0003]

Since the handrail of the prior art has a certain width, there is a problem that even small children cannot grasp the handrail even if they try to grasp it.

An object of the present invention is to provide a passenger conveyor provided with a handrail that can be grasped even by a child with a small hand.

[0005]

The object of the present invention is to provide a passenger conveyor having a handrail that runs on a balustrade provided upright on the left and right sides of a tread plate in synchronization with the tread plate. This is achieved by forming a narrow portion and a wide portion.

[0006]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of a passenger conveyor according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a passenger conveyor. The passenger conveyor 1 includes a tread 2 for carrying a person, a balustrade 3 provided upright on the left and right sides of the tread 2, and a balustrade 3.
The upper part comprises a handrail 4 running in synchronization with the tread plate 2. And this handrail 4
It is composed of a wide portion 5 having the same width as the normal size of 82 mm, and a narrow portion 6 having a width of about 40 mm.

As described above, the handrail 4 is connected to the wide portion 5.
And the narrow portion 6, children with small hands can grasp the narrow portion 6 and ride on it. Therefore, even children can use the passenger conveyor safely.

Although FIG. 1 shows a diagram in which the wide portions 5 and the narrow portions 6 are provided alternately, it is not always necessary to do so, and a narrow portion may be formed partially. .

[0011]

According to the present invention, since the handrail has a narrow portion, even a child with a small hand can grasp the handrail and can use the passenger conveyor safely.
