In the method of installing a balustrade of a passenger conveyor having a balustrade including a glass panel, when the glass panels are erected sequentially from the lower entrance to the upper entrance and are assembled at a predetermined position, side surfaces of adjacent glass panels A detachable spacer that holds a gap formed between them at a fixed size is inserted into the gap.

  Further, the railing installation device for passenger conveyor of the present invention is endlessly connected and is erected on both sides of the step traveling between the upper entrance and the lower entrance, and has a balustrade including a plurality of glass panels. In the balustrade installation device of a passenger conveyor, the glass panels are sequentially installed from the lower entrance / exit toward the upper entrance / exit, and are used when assembled at a predetermined position, and are formed between the side surfaces of adjacent glass panels. It is characterized in that a detachable spacer is provided which is inserted into the gap and holds the gap with a certain size.

  The balustrade installation method and the balustrade installation apparatus of the passenger conveyor of the present invention configured as described above are arranged in such a manner that glass panels are erected in order from the lower entrance to the upper entrance, and installed when adjacent glass panels are installed. Since the removable spacer that holds the gap between the side surfaces facing each other with a certain size is incorporated while being inserted into the gap, the measurement of the gap size becomes unnecessary, and the fixing of the two glass panels by the connection frame is as follows. It is not necessary to carry out each time when both glass panels are erected, and may be performed after all the glass panels are erected and assembled. Therefore, the assembling operation of the glass panel at a predetermined position is relatively simple and can be completed in a short time.

  The railing installation device for a passenger conveyor according to the present invention is the above railing installation device, wherein the spacer is interposed between the adjacent glass panels, and the extending direction of the gap insertion portion. It is characterized by comprising a T-shaped cross section having a fixing portion extending in an orthogonal direction.

  The railing installation method and the railing installation device of the passenger conveyor according to the present invention can perform the work of assembling a plurality of glass panels into a predetermined position in a relatively short time through a spacer. Therefore, the efficiency of the installation work of the balustrade including the glass panel can be improved as compared with the conventional case.

  BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A best mode for carrying out a railing installation method and a railing installation device for a passenger conveyor according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a side view showing an embodiment of a method for installing a balustrade for a passenger conveyor according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a detailed perspective view of a balustrade installation device used in the balustrade installation method shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. It is the detailed perspective view of a balustrade installation apparatus.

  The balustrade which is the object of this embodiment is a balustrade formed by incorporating a plurality of glass panels, and is connected endlessly and travels between the lower entrance 1a and the upper entrance 1b. It is erected on the side.

  In order to install such a balustrade on the frame 1, the balustrade installation method of the present embodiment does not mistake the front and rear direction of the glass panel 2a from the lower entrance 1a of the frame 1 that forms the main body frame of the escalator, for example. Make sure to incorporate it. The spacer 3 is applied to the side surface of the incorporated glass panel 2a, that is, the upper portion and the lower portion of the side surface facing the side surface of the glass panel 2b to be incorporated next, and the spacer 3 is fixed to the glass panel 2a with the adhesive tape 4. Done.

  In this case, the spacer 3 is formed in a T-shaped cross section having a gap insertion portion 3a and a fixing portion 3b extending in a direction orthogonal to the gap insertion direction. The fixing surface 3b1 of the fixing portion 3b of the spacer 3 and the glass panel 2a are attached to the upper and lower portions of the side surface of the spacer 3 with the one side surface 3a1 of the gap insertion portion 3a of the spacer 3, respectively. It is fixed with.

  Next, the glass panel 2b is erected and incorporated so that the side surface of the glass panel 2b is pressed against the other side surface 3a1 of the gap insertion portion 3a of the spacer 3 attached to the glass panel 2a as described above. . As a result, the gap between the opposing side surfaces of the glass panels 2a and 2b is kept constant, for example, about 3 mm corresponding to the thickness dimension of the gap insertion portion 3a of the spacer 3.

  Thereafter, similarly, the glass panels 2c, 2d, 2c, 2d, and 2e shown in FIG. 1 are sequentially assembled, and finally a predetermined glass panel positioned near the upper entrance / exit 1b is assembled. Then, after all the glass panels 2 are erected and assembled, an operation of connecting the upper edge of each glass panel is performed by a connection frame (not shown) similar to that described in the background art above. Each glass panel is fixed on the frame 1 with a gap of a certain size by the connecting operation of the upper edge. Here, the adhesive tape 4 is peeled off and the spacer 3 is removed.

  When removing the spacer 3, since the spacer 3 has a T-shaped cross section, the fixing portion 3b protruding from the surface of each glass panel is grasped and pulled out. Thereby, the spacer 3 can be easily extracted from between the glass panels.

  As described above, the balustrade installation method of the present embodiment is formed between the side surfaces of adjacent glass panels when the glass panels are erected sequentially from the lower entrance 1a toward the upper entrance 1b and are assembled at predetermined positions. Since the removable spacer 3 for holding the gap to be fixed is inserted while being inserted into the gap, it is not necessary to measure the dimension of the gap formed between the opposite side surfaces of the glass panel, It is not necessary to fix the glass panel with the connection frame every time one glass panel is assembled into a predetermined position, and the glass panel may be fixed with the connection frame after all the glass panels are assembled into the predetermined position. Therefore, the assembling operation of the glass panel is relatively simple, can be completed in a short time, and the efficiency of the installation work of the balustrade including the glass panel 2 can be realized.

  In the above-described embodiment, an escalator is described as an example of a passenger conveyor. However, the escalator may be applied to a passenger conveyor having a plurality of similar glass panels such as a moving sidewalk. In that case, the same effect as that in the above-described embodiment can be obtained.
