Further, as a conventional example relating to a cleaning device for a tread, a configuration disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 58-187568 is known.

[0003]

The former of the above conventional example is as follows.
A configuration is disclosed in which a plurality of narrow-width pattern display bodies are bonded over the tread surface tops and uneven grooves of a moving tread plate, and a guide is provided to a passenger at a correct boarding position with a footprint mark or the like represented by the display body. I have. However, the mounting structure of the display body has a problem of life such as abrasion of a tread top portion and peeling of an adhesive portion, and a problem that the design is inferior in design because the display body is thin with respect to the tread surface. Was. In addition, only a footprint mark or the like is displayed on the tread, and the area division between a stationary position (for example, a range of weak walking) and a walking position (for example, range of a healthy person) on the tread is not clear, There was no concept of safety measures to prevent dangerous phenomena such as confusion (for example, collision or falling accident) due to contact between passengers on the tread. In addition, there is a proposal for arranging the one-sided walking by using an arrow mark in alignment with the footprint mark. However, this method has a problem that when driving in a direction opposite to the arrow direction, the display is reversed and cannot be used. Furthermore, the latter is configured such that the cleaning brush or felt that is slid in the cleat groove of the moving tread plate is directly planted on the tip of the comb plate. There was a problem that the cleaning function disappeared at all.
