Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an escalator in which color is displayed on the surface of a tread plate and a riser of the escalator.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An escalator is a structure in which a person rides on a step composed of a tread and a riser and continuously moves in a certain direction at a constant speed. Instead, it is used to move people up or down.

The escalator is formed by connecting steps formed of a tread plate and a riser, and has a structure of continuously moving, so that both ends of the escalator come out of the stationary part and enter the stationary part. Therefore, at the riding position, the user shifts from the stationary part to the part of the tread where the area of the tread gradually increases, and at the descending position, it descends from the tread to the stationary part while confirming that the area of the tread gradually decreases.

Since the steps are continuously moving, it is not possible to instantly judge whether the steps are those on which the tread rides, or the steps above or below which the steps have already come out. Recently, there are some steps that move flat and move up or down a few steps, but even in this case, since the same tread continues, it is difficult to determine the boundary of the tread, so if you are on the seam you will stumble or fall to the front. If that happens, the position of the foot will move in a hurry, which is extremely dangerous.

People who use the escalator for daily commuting and work are accustomed to using it without feeling inconvenient with the current escalator, but do not use the escalator on a daily basis among those who are accustomed to it. If an old person or a person with low eyesight, a child, a housewife at home, etc. enters, it will not be able to take the timing to ride on the moving tread, so it will stop at the position where the ride starts. For this reason,
Since the flow of people stops, it may be pushed by people who come later, which is very dangerous. Especially in the case of downhill, if it is pressed while stopping and taking timing, of course, even if it is touched a little, there is fear.

Up to now, the escalator has been mainly installed in the building, but recently, the escalator has been installed in many places other than the building. The escalator is continuously operated even when there is no user. When viewed from a distance, it is often difficult to tell whether the movement of the escalator is up or down, so it is often noticed that the direction of riding is the opposite after going near.

[0007] Recently, buildings have been beautifully designed both in terms of color and geometrical patterns, and the interior and exterior of the building have become beautiful. However, the steps made of metal in the escalator are operated continuously with the background color of the metal as it is. Because of this, it cannot match the design around the building. In the case of an escalator installed in the center of the entrance of a specially designed building, the more vividly designed the surrounding area is, the worse the design of the escalator is.

[0008]

The conventional escalator is a display to the extent that a simple line or light is used to prevent danger, and there is no display on the entire tread or on the riser. Moreover, there is no color display considered for the design around the escalator. The present invention has been made in view of this point, and it is an object of the present invention to solve the above problems by displaying a color or the like, which has not existed in the past, on the tread surface and the riser surface.

[0009]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the escalator according to the present invention is different from the tread surface on the tread surface which is composed of a tread and a riser whose color is displayed on the tread surface, and the tread surface of the facing tread. It is composed of a tread and a riser that are endlessly connected with a plurality of steps that are composed of a tread and a riser that display colors, or that display color on the tread so that all the treads have different colors. The step and the step composed of the riser and the riser, in which the color of the step of the opposite step is different from that of the step, and the color of the step of the step opposite to that of the step and the step before and after the step. Steps composed of a plurality of steps composed of displayed treads and risers endlessly, or a step composed of treads and risers with color displayed on the tread surface, and a tread that does not display color on the tread surface Plurality every one step footstep composed of riser, characterized in that it is connected to the endless.

In a second aspect of the present invention, the riser surface facing the tread surface with the color displayed on the tread surface comprises a riser displaying a color different from or the same as the color displayed on the tread surface. It features a step.

[0011]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. As shown in the drawing, the escalator according to the present invention displays a color different from that of the step surface 1 on the step 4 composed of the step 2 and the riser 3 in which the color is displayed on the step 1 and the step 6 of the step 5 facing each other. A plurality of steps 5 composed of a tread 7 and a riser 8 are connected endlessly at every other step, or a step 4 composed of a tread 2 and a riser 3 in which colors are displayed on the tread surface 1 and a step 4 facing each other. A step 5 composed of a tread 7 and a riser 8 that display a different color from the tread surface 1 on the tread surface 5, and a tread surface 10 of the step 9 which is further opposed to the tread surface 6 and the tread surface 1 described before. A step 9 composed of a tread 11 and a riser 12 displaying different colors, a tread surface 1, a tread surface 6 and a tread surface 1
A plurality of steps such as step 4, step 5 and step 9 all having different colors of 0 are connected endlessly, or step surface 1
A plurality of steps 4 composed of a tread 2 and a riser 3 displaying colors, and a plurality of steps 16 composed of a tread 14 and a riser 15 not displaying color on the tread surface 13 are connected endlessly at intervals of one step. .

On the riser surface 17 facing the tread 2 whose color is displayed on the tread surface 1, a step 19 composed of a riser 18 different from the color displayed on the tread surface 1 or displaying the same color is provided. Similarly, a plurality of them are connected endlessly.

The colors of the tread surface 1 and the riser surface 17 are displayed by coating with paint, surface treatment by plating or anodizing, or the material color of the material of the tread surface 1 and the riser surface 17.

[0014]

As described above, the escalator according to the present invention is formed by connecting steps which are constructed such that the opposite tread surfaces display different colors or the opposite tread surfaces display or not display the color and move continuously. It has a structure. Therefore, at the riding position, transfer to the tread of the tread surface where the color is decided to be the part where the tread area gradually increases from the stationary part, while confirming that the tread area gradually decreases at the descending position. Immediately before the tread of the color-coded tread surface on which you are riding enters the stationary part, descend from the tread to the stationary part.

The opposite tread surface displays different colors, or the steps formed by the presence or absence of color display on the opposite tread surface are continuously moving. Or you can instantly judge whether it is the lower one.
Further, even when a few steps move flat and move up or down a few steps ahead, since the opposite tread surfaces are displayed in different colors, it is possible to determine the boundaries of the treads and prevent the risk of getting on the seam.

An elderly person who does not use an escalator on a daily basis, a person with weak eyesight, a child, a housewife at home, etc. can stop at the position where he / she starts to ride, because he / she can take timing to ride on a moving tread without stopping. Nothing. For this reason, the flow of people does not stop and is not pushed by people who come later, so it is not dangerous. Especially when going downhill, you can catch the timing without stopping.

Since the color is displayed on the riser, the escalator can be matched with the design around the inside and outside of the building without the steps made of metal being continuously driven without changing the background color of the metal.
