Description

  The present invention relates to a structure of a handrail belt of an escalator in which a moving step forms an inclined road or a horizontal road for passenger transportation.

  Conventionally, a configuration in which a print sheet is pasted on the surface of a handrail belt of an escalator to display an advertisement or a direction has been already proposed as disclosed in, for example, Patent Document 1. Moreover, the structure which coat | covers the surface of a handrail belt with a water-system resin agent and improves an aesthetics has already been proposed, for example as disclosed by patent document 2. FIG.

  The handrail belt of the escalator described in Patent Document 1 has a configuration in which a print sheet displaying a direction indication mark or the like in the longitudinal direction of the surface is pasted. Moreover, the handrail belt of the escalator described in Patent Document 2 has a configuration in which the surface thereof is coated with an aqueous resin agent.

JP 2006-347764 A JP 2002-338898 A

The structure of the handrail belt described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 is from the filing date to today,
1) In particular, in Patent Document 1, peeling or turning occurs due to a “peeling action (mischief)” on the edge of the print sheet (both edges of the handrail belt) by the passenger.
2) As a result, an event that causes the safety device of the escalator to operate and stop operation has occurred.
3) In particular, Patent Document 2 is simply inferior in this respect because it simply coats the surface of the handrail belt and does not contribute to the safety service (preventing toppling) for passengers as in Document 2.
There was a problem.

  An object of the present invention is to attach a direction indicating sheet body made of a long colored resin film colored differently from a handrail belt on the surface of a pair of left and right handrail belts arranged on both sides of a step, and further in this direction. By coating the display sheet body and the handrail belt surface with a transparent water-based resin agent, it is intended to reduce peeling of the printed sheet, which has been considered a problem in the past, and to reduce the possibility of a stop accident, and to maintain the aesthetics. .

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an escalator including a handrail belt having a substantially C-shaped cross section formed by a surface flat portion and both edge portions, which is reversed and moved from a forward path to a return path. While providing a direction indication sheet body having a direction indication mark printed on a long colored resin film for displaying the moving direction of the handrail belt, the tone of the direction indication sheet body and the handrail belt is different. A coating layer whose surface was coated with a transparent aqueous resin agent was provided.

  Thus, the presence of the direction indication mark that displays the moving direction on the surface portion of the pair of handrail belts allows the user (passenger) who gets into the escalator to visually recognize the moving speed and direction of the escalator. As a result, it is easy to take the timing of getting on the step and is useful for preventing reverse boarding. In addition, since the surface of the handrail belt including the surface portion, both edge portions, and the seam portion of the direction display sheet body having the direction display mark is coated with a coating agent, there are advantages in both prevention of peeling of the direction display sheet body and maintaining aesthetic appearance. is there.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the structure of the handrail belt for escalators which has the elimination of the malfunction resulting from mischief with respect to a conventional system, and the beauty maintenance effect can be provided.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of a handrail belt of an escalator according to the present invention will be described based on the escalator shown in FIGS.

  In general, the escalator 1 includes a main frame 3 mounted on the upper floor 2A and the lower floor 2B, a number of steps 4 connected endlessly and moving in an inverted manner from the forward path to the return path, and both sides of the step 4 A handrail belt 5 provided in a pair on the left and right sides and reversely moved from the forward path to the return path in synchronism with the steps 4 is arranged. The handrail belt 5 has a flat portion 5A whose surface shape forms a surface and both sides connected to the flat portion 5A. It has a width W1 that is substantially C-shaped with the edge 5B. A direction display made of a colored resin film having a thickness of about 80 microns is displayed on the surface from the surface flat portion 5A (width W2) of the entire length of the handrail belt 5 to both edge portions 5B in order to display the moving direction of the handrail belt 5. The sheet body 6A and the coating layer 6 are provided by coating with a transparent aqueous resin agent.

  The handrail belt 5 is frictionally driven by the power transmitted to the drive roller 9 and the like through the chain 8 through the chain 8, and is guided to the guide roller 10 on the return path and guided to the balustrade 11 on the reverse path 11A, 11B is configured to move back.

  The direction indicating sheet 6A is a long material corresponding to the entire length of the handrail belt 5 on which a mark, a pattern, or the like is printed. The color tone is a colored resin film having a different color from the surface color of the handrail belt 5, and is provided by adhesion. ing. On the other hand, a plurality of direction indication marks 6AA on the direction indication sheet body 6A are provided at a fixed interval Pa existing at least one in the semicircular range H (FIGS. 1 and 2) of the reverse portion of the handrail belt 5. The user (passenger) who is currently on board sees the escalator 1 and when the escalator 1 is viewed, the direction indication mark 6AA that is always present within the range of the reference sign H ensures the speed and direction of movement. It has the effect of appealing visually. Furthermore, in some cases, by providing the direction indication marks 6B on both edges 5B, the moving speed and moving direction can be visually recognized even from the side around the escalator, and the ease of boarding passengers can be improved. In addition, the direction display mark 6AA has a color different from the color tone of the surface of the handrail belt 5 (for example, yellow), and the display is not limited to the shape illustrated in the figure, but a large arrow, triangle mark, oval mark, character mark, advertisement mark, etc. There is no inconvenience, and it is possible to add another advertisement display section within the interval Pa of the direction display mark 6AA. In addition, the construction procedure of the direction indicating sheet body 6A and the covering layer 6 is as follows. First, the surface of the target handrail belt 5 is removed (cleaning process), and then the direction indicating sheet body 6A is attached, its surface portion, both The coating of the coating layer 6 including the edge 6B and the seam 6C (film generation process) is performed, followed by a drying process.

Here, the direction indication mark 6AA is colored (for example, easily noticeable yellow, white, etc.), and the coating layer 6 is a transparent agent (including translucent), and the material is urethane, acrylic, polyester, nylon, An unspecified water-based resin agent such as an epoxy resin is used, and the direction display mark body 6A exhibits a direction display function, and the transparent water-based resin agent performs a transparent display of the direction display mark 6AA and a transparent function of the handrail belt 5 surface color. It has become.
From the viewpoint of the aesthetic life of the surface of the handrail belt 5 in the above-described configuration of the present invention, even if the coating layer 6 wears out over time, the aesthetic indication is ensured by the direction display sheet 6A that forms the next surface. There are benefits to get.
As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to provide a handrail belt that is free from defects such as peeling as compared with the conventional method, and that can maintain safety and maintain its beauty.

  In addition, although the said embodiment demonstrated the example of the general escalator, it can be applied as it is also to the escalator commonly called the moving walk which does not have a level | step difference between adjacent steps.
