Hereinafter, an embodiment of the fall accident prevention type escalator of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7.

The fall accident prevention type escalator 1 of the present invention has a main frame 3 mounted on the building 2 having an entrance / exit 2A connected to the upper floor of the building 2 and an entrance / exit 2B connected to the lower floor thereof, and an endless shape. A large number of steps 4 that are connected and move in reverse from the outward path to the return path, and move in reverse from the outward path to the return path in synchronization with this step 4, and the cross-sectional shape is the flat portion 5A and half of both edges connected to it. A handrail belt 5 having a width W1 forming a horseshoe shape with the circular portion 5B and adhesively fixed from the flat portion 5A (width W2) to the semicircular portion 5B along the longitudinal direction of the handrail belt 5 (detailed illustration is omitted). (It is a multi-layer material composed of a sheet portion layer on which an adhesive layer is provided on the inner surface side and a direction display mark 6A or the like, which will be described later, is printed on the outer surface, or a laminated layer on the surface). A scale display sheet 6 is attached.

Further, the handrail belt 5 is frictionally driven by the power transmitted to the drive roller 9 and the like via the chain 8 of the drive gear 7, and is guided by the guide roller 10 on the double path and the balustrade 11 on the outward path to the reversing portion 11A. , 11B is configured to fold back and move.

The display sheet 6 has a seam member 6C provided on the seam portion 66 in a state of being divided into one or a plurality of the entire length of the handrail belt 5, and the adhesive layer on the inner surface side thereof is the surface of the handrail belt 5. Along with being attached to the flat portion 5B and the semicircular portion 5B of the above, the direction display mark 6A indicating the moving direction is printed on the sheet portion layer on the surface of the display sheet 6 to the full width W2 of the flat portion 5A so as to be conspicuous. In addition, a plurality of direction display marks 6A are provided in the total length direction of the handrail belt 5 at appropriate intervals P, and a height H which is a half-circumferential range of the reversing portion of the handrail belt 5 (FIGS. 1 and 2). A plurality of them are arranged at intervals P (FIG. 4) in which at least one exists. Then, when the user (passenger) who is about to board the vehicle now sees the fall accident prevention type escalator 1, at least one direction display mark 6A exists within the range of the code H which is always in front of the escalator 1, and the movement speed is increased. It surely appeals to the sense of speed and the direction of movement. In addition, the direction display mark 6A is printed in yellow or white, for example, and the mark is not limited to the circle shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, but a large arrow or rhombus is not inconvenient, and its size is arbitrary. ..

Further, on the display sheet 6 attached to the handrail belt 5 of the present invention, a display unit 6B such as a cautionary statement is provided within the interval P of the direction display mark 6A as shown by the frame of the imaginary line in FIGS. 2 and 4. There are safety precautions and guidance signs such as "grab the handrail", "the left side of the exit is the ticket gate", "the right side of the exit is the subway Ginza line", and various types not shown. "Advertisement" is displayed by printing. In this case, the display sheet 6 is composed of a multi-layer material such as a laminated layer on the surface in addition to an adhesive layer to the handrail belt 5 and a sheet portion layer to be printed, which overlaps with the above.

よりも長い範囲の長さＬの継ぎ目材６Ｃで外見的には図４のように被っている。Further, the display sheet 6 attached to the handrail belt 5 of the present invention has a vertical cross section (FIGS. 3 and 4 are cross sections, whereas only the display sheet 6 attached to the handrail belt 5 is shown in FIG. 5 and below. As conceptually illustrated (a cross-sectional view in the vertical direction), the display sheet 6 attached to the entire surface of the handrail belt 5 has the configurations shown in FIGS. 5, 6, and 7. FIG. 5 shows an example in which the seam portion 66 is provided at two locations, and each of them is shown.

A seam material 6C having a length L in a longer range is covered in appearance as shown in FIG.

の端部からの一定範囲ｍに現地施工（現地施工以外でもよい）の別の接着剤による接着強化部６Ｃｂを設けて接着部の長寿命化と高信頼化を図っている。In addition, the display sheet 6 attached to the handrail belt 5 of the present invention includes the following adhesive strengthening portion 6Cb. That is, the seam of the seam portion 66 of the display sheet 6

An adhesive strengthening portion 6Cb using another adhesive for on-site construction (which may be other than on-site construction) is provided in a certain range m from the end portion of the adhesive portion to extend the life and increase the reliability of the adhesive portion.

The present inventor considers that the following measures are also effective for the seam portion 66. That is, the mechanism of the driving force generated by the driving roller 9 is provided so that the tensile force always acts on the seam material 6C to prevent the dent K (the starting point is torn and peeled off, or dirt is accumulated in this portion). , The range of Z1 in which the tension range that brings the pulling force to the handrail belt 5 is large (shown in FIG. 1. The range of Z2 is the push-out side of the handrail belt 5 by the drive roller 9, that is, the contraction side opposite to Z1). It is preferable to do so. (To create this situation, one end of the display sheet 6 is glued to the handrail belt 5 to the end, the other end covers the end and is replenished with the seam 6C. It is considered that the configuration of FIG. 7 is desirable. Here, as shown in FIG. 1, the inventor has experienced that the dent K is unlikely to occur when the tension range to the handrail belt 5 is mechanically the majority of the traveling path. However, the present invention does not limit this point.)

As described above, according to the present invention, the moving direction of the handrail belt and the contents of the display unit can be displayed in an easy-to-see manner to provide a comprehensive fall accident prevention type escalator having a wide range of safety effects, guidance effects, advertising effects, etc. The life of the seam material 6C of the display sheet 6 can be extended and the reliability can be improved.

Although the above embodiment has been described by taking a general escalator structure as an example, it can be applied as it is to a moving walkway having no step between adjacent steps.
