Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a balustrade of an escalator or a moving sidewalk (hereinafter referred to as an escalator or the like), and more particularly to an improvement in the mounting structure of inner decks on both sides of a tread plate or a tread belt.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In general, an escalator has balustrades 2 on both sides of a step 1 on which a passenger rides as shown in FIG. 3, and the balustrade 2 is mainly arranged with a gap so that passengers' feet are not pinched on both sides of the step 1. The skirt panel 3, the balustrade panel 5, and the handrail 7 that moves while being guided by the guide rail 6 on the outer peripheral edge of the balustrade panel 5. A plurality of inner decks 4 are connected in the longitudinal direction of the escalator at predetermined lengths.
[0003]
Here, FIG. 4 shows a conventional mounting structure of the inner deck 4. (For example, see Patent Document 1)
[0004]

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-34569 [0005]
That is, after fixing the skirt panel 3 to the beam 9 with the screw 8, the inner deck 4 having the L-shaped bracket 10 having a spring action is fitted from above, and the screw 11 is inserted into the notch 9a of the beam 9 and tightened. It is.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in such a device, the notch must be provided in the beam 9 for attaching the skirt panel, and the head of the screw 11 is exposed, so that it not only looks bad but also hooks the clothes of the passenger. There was a concern and there was a safety problem. Further, there is a possibility that the screw 11 gradually loosens.
[0007]
The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object thereof is to provide a balustrade such as an escalator that can be easily assembled on site and has a good appearance.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention provides a skirt panel erected on both sides of a tread surface with a gap, a beam that supports the skirt panel on the side opposite to the tread surface, and an upper portion of the skirt panel that covers an upper end portion of the skirt panel In the balustrade where the inner deck is arranged as described above, the inner end of the inner deck is provided with a clip that sandwiches the upper end of the skirt panel so as to protrude in the direction of the adjacent inner deck (outward). Is provided with a hole for fixing the skirt panel with a screw or the like.
[0009]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
According to the present invention, a skirt panel is attached using a blindfold portion between adjacent inner decks to constitute a good-looking balustrade.
[0010]
【Example】
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of a balustrade according to the present invention.
[0011]
In the figure, the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 indicate the same elements, but 22 is a beam attached to a truss (not shown), and this beam 22 has a lower part of the skirt panel 3 (depending on the step 1). Bolts are not visible). 23 is a resin having a groove 23a around the perimeter panel 5 fixed to a support device (not shown), 31 is a clip provided at the inner end of the inner deck 30 according to the present invention, and the direction of the adjacent inner deck For example, it is attached by an adhesive, and the protruding portion is provided with a long hole 31a and a notch 31b.
[0012]
A plurality of second clips 32 are provided at the inner central portion of the inner deck 30. These clips 31 and 32 are sandwiched between the inner surface of the inner deck 30 so as to cover the upper portion of the skirt panel 3. I am doing. Reference numeral 33 denotes a plate provided at the inner end of the inner deck 30, which is arranged to engage with the notch 31 b of the adjacent inner deck 31, so that the adjacent inner decks 30 can be aligned and easily taken upward. It also functions to prevent detachment. The long hole 31 a of the clip 31 is configured such that the clip 31 and the skirt panel 3 are coupled by a screw 34 through a hole (not shown) of the skirt panel 3.
[0013]
That is, the lower part of the skirt panel 3 is fixed by the beam 22, but after inserting one end (the anti-clip side) of the inner deck 30 into the groove 23 a of the resin 23, the clips 31 and 32 are placed on the upper part of the skirt panel 3. Next, the skirt panel 3 and the clip 31 are screwed with screws 34, and then the adjacent inner decks 30 are sequentially covered on the skirt panel so as to cover this screwed portion.
[0014]
If comprised in this way, since the head of the screw which attaches an inner deck or a skirt panel cannot be seen at all, it looks good and there is no possibility that a passenger's clothes may be caught. Also, the inner deck can be attached and removed very easily. The long holes for attachment may be provided not on the clip side but on the skirt panel side.
[0015]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, only by providing a clip that covers the upper part of the skirt panel on the inner side of the inner deck so as to protrude outward, the balustrade of an escalator or the like having good workability and excellent design. Can be obtained.
