Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To heighten the whole strength while being excellent in design by providing an entry impeding body provided with a plate body and a support body fixedly provided at a handrail side plate to support the plate body. SOLUTION: This safety equipment 7 is composed of a support body 7A, a plate body 7B and fixing screws 7C. The safety equipment 7 prevents a fall accident or the like by impeding entry and upward walk onto a handrail deck 5B extending from a lower floor to an upper floor, by the plate body 7B of breadth W integrated being inserted by a lap δ into a groove of the support body 7A of inverted L-shape. The safety equipment 7 is directly and firmly fitted to a handrail side plate 6 fixedly provided at a strong main frame 8. With this constitution, appearance is excellent without impairing the whole design constitution of a handrail body 5 because of the minimum combined constitution of the support body 7A and plate body 7B in addition to high strength.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a passenger conveyor such as an escalator and a moving walkway, and a safety device for preventing a human body from entering the balustrade deck from outside the passenger conveyor and preventing the human body from falling from a high place. Related to the configuration.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional technique for preventing a human body from entering a dangerous part around the outside of a passenger conveyor, there is a technique in which a parapet is attached to a parapet having a balustrade pillar outside the parapet (for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 50-150180) and a multilayer structure using an entry-inhibiting body to increase strength (for example,
No. 0-87256).

[0003]

The former of the above conventional example is as follows.
The latter focuses on increasing the strength of the entry barrier alone, aiming to increase the strength of the safety equipment as a whole and improve its overall design, in order to prevent tampering and improve operability of the operation switches installed on the balustrade. It was not. For this reason, the conventional equipment is inferior in terms of mounting strength and design, and particularly when this safety equipment is applied for the purpose of preventing a human body from falling, there has been a problem in safety (damage due to external force). Further, there is an aesthetic problem that the presence of the mounting brackets on the balustrade pillar and the balustrade deck lowers the overall design.

[0004] It is an object of the present invention to provide a passenger conveyor safety device having high overall strength and excellent design.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to provide a passenger conveyor having a step and a handrail that are connected and moved endlessly, and a balustrade serving as a side wall between the step and the handrail. An outer space formed between a balustrade panel, a balustrade deck, and a balustrade side plate, comprising an access hindrance that closes the width of the balustrade deck, wherein the approach hindrance is a plate, and the plate is supported. This problem is solved by providing a support provided on the balustrade and fixed to the balustrade side plate.

[0006]

With such a configuration, the safety equipment for a passenger conveyor of the present invention has strength as a whole because the plate for preventing entry is supported by the support directly fixed to the sturdy balustrade side panel. And the number of components is minimal, so that there is little influence on the overall appearance of the passenger conveyor, and it is light and excellent in design.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 shows a safety device 7 provided at a step 3, a handrail 4, a balustrade 5 and a balustrade side plate 6, which are components near a lower entrance 2 which is one of the entrances of an escalator-type passenger conveyor 1. It is the perspective view of one side which showed the connection relations, such as. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of FIG.
It is sectional drawing which follows the I line. Here, the passenger conveyor 1
The handrail 4 also moves in synchronism with the step 3 which is connected and moved endlessly, and the balustrade panel 5A stands upright as a side wall between the step 3 and the handrail 4, and components around the balustrade panel 5A. As a parapet deck 5B, 5C
However, a balustrade side plate 6 is provided as a makeup body. Further, the passenger conveyor 1 is supported by a main frame 8 inside the main body 8 which retains the overall strength, and the balustrade panel 5A, the balustrade deck 5B, the balustrade side plate 6 and the like support the supports 9, 10 and the like on the main frame 8. It is configured to be supported via The safety equipment 7 according to the present invention includes a support 7A, a plate 7B.
And a fixing screw 7C, and a plate 7B of a width W made of a transparent acrylic resin plate or a glass plate which is inserted and integrated by a depth δ into the groove of the support 7A having an inverted L-shape in the vertical direction. The structure is such that entry into the balustrade deck 5B from the lower floor to the upper floor and climbing and walking are prevented to prevent a fall accident or the like. In this case, the plate 7B and the balustrade panel 5A
The safety equipment 7 is provided with a fixing screw 7 with respect to the balustrade side plate 6 as a whole.
It is firmly fixed by C.

As described above, the safety equipment 7 of the present invention comprises a balustrade side plate 6 (including the support 10) fixed to a sturdy main frame 8.
Since it is a structure that can be directly and firmly attached to the balustrade 5, the strength is high and the minimum design of the combination of the support 7 </ b> A and the plate 7 </ b> B does not impair the overall design of the balustrade 5.
It is also aesthetically pleasing. In addition, since the number of components is minimal, there is an effect that the mounting operation is extremely simple.

The safety equipment 7 used in the description of the above-mentioned embodiment can also be applied to the case of an inclined pedestrian sidewalk which is not an escalator type, and its material and color can be arbitrarily selected as necessary. it can. FIG. 1 shows only one side (left side) of the passenger conveyor 1, but this configuration can be applied to both sides as necessary.

[0010]

According to the present invention, with the structure described above, it is possible to provide a passenger conveyor safety device having high overall strength and excellent design.
