[0006] Recently, a shopping cart carrying large-sized shopping has been put on a passenger conveyor in a store,
The use of a hand cart carrying large luggage on a passenger conveyor in an airport is increasing, and it is necessary to consider safety for such uses.

[0007]

In the conventional passenger conveyor constructed as described above, when large-size luggage protrudes from the cart, the protruded luggage is transferred to the inner deck 13.
On the inner deck 13 or caught on the slope of the inner deck 13. In such a case, since the cart continues to move together with step 4, there is a problem that the luggage and the cart may be inclined, and in some cases, the luggage may fall.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and it is possible that even when a cart carrying large-sized luggage gets on the luggage, the luggage gets caught on the inner deck. It is another object of the present invention to obtain a railing device for a passenger conveyor that can improve safety.

[0009]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a balustrade for a passenger conveyor, wherein an inner deck is provided at a lower position than an outer deck, and a holding plate on the inner deck and a supporting member below the outer deck. The balustrade panel is sandwiched between them.

[0010] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a balustrade for a passenger conveyor has a holding plate which can be detached from a step side.

A balustrade for a passenger conveyor according to a third aspect of the present invention is provided with a closing member for concealing a gap generated between the inner deck and the holding plate and the outer deck.

[0012]

In the present invention, by arranging the inner deck lower than the outer deck, it is possible to prevent the load protruding from the cart from being caught on the inner deck.

[0013]

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. Embodiment 1 FIG. FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram showing a passenger conveyor having a balustrade according to one embodiment of the first and second aspects of the present invention;
2 is a sectional view taken along the line II-II of FIG. 1, and FIG.
FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line III-III, and the same or corresponding parts as in FIGS. 7 and 8 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted.

In the drawing, reference numeral 21 denotes an inner deck provided on the step side of the balustrade panel 8.
1 is lower than the bed height H ₁ from the step 4 is less than the outer deck 12, yet common cart (not shown). Reference numeral 22 denotes a skirt bracket provided below the inner deck 21, and reference numeral 23 denotes a skirt panel attached to the skirt bracket 22.

Reference numeral 24 denotes a support bracket as a support member fixed to the main frame 1 via the base 6, and reference numeral 25 denotes a holding plate fixed to the support bracket 21 on the inner deck 21 with the balustrade panel 8 interposed therebetween. The holding plate 25 is provided continuously in the longitudinal direction of the balustrade panel 8. A gentle chamfer 25a is applied to both ends in the longitudinal direction of the holding plate 25, and an R finish 25b is applied to the upper end of the holding plate 25. Reference numeral 26 denotes a bolt for fixing the holding plate 25 to the support fitting 24. The holding plate 25 is provided with a counterbore for receiving the head of the bolt 26. 27 is a rubber packing interposed between the support fitting 24 and the holding plate 25 and the balustrade panel 8.

In such a balustrade, since the height H ₁ of the inner deck 21 is lower than the bed of the cart, luggage protruding from the cart may be placed on the inner deck 21 or caught on the inner deck 21. No safety is improved. Also, the holding plate 25 located on the inner deck 21
Is provided with a chamfer 25a, an R finish 25b and a counterbore, and since the holding plate 25 is a continuous body without a seam, it is possible to prevent the load from being caught on the holding plate 25, thereby also ensuring safety. The performance is improved.

Further, since the holding plate 25 is detachable from the step 4 side by the bolt 26, the replacement work of the balustrade panel 8 when the glass of the balustrade panel 8 is broken can be easily performed on the step 4. It can be carried out.

Here, in the conventional structure, the balustrade panel 8 is supported inside the inner deck 13, but when the inner deck 21 is lowered as in the first embodiment, the balustrade panel 8 is supported inside the inner deck 21. Can not be done. This is because the rail bracket 2 is located below the support bracket 7 and the holding plate 9 of the conventional structure and cannot be displaced downward.

Therefore, when lowering the inner deck 21, it is necessary to arrange the holding plate 25 on the inner deck 21 as in the first embodiment, whereby the supporting bracket 24 is different from the conventional structure. come. Here, the holding plate 25 is subjected to chamfering 25a, R finish 25b, counterbore processing, and the like.
The design and safety are improved.

Embodiment 2 FIG. Next, FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a passenger conveyor having a balustrade according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG.
FIG. 6 is a sectional view taken along line V-VI of FIG. 4. In the first embodiment, the balustrade panel 8
When viewed from the step 4 side, the inner deck 21 and the support
Gap 28 not shaded by tool 24 (hatched portion in FIG. 1)
However, since the balustrade panel 8 is transparent, the internal structure below the outer deck 12 is moved from the gap 28 to the step 4 side.
Can be seen from On the other hand, in the second embodiment,
A closing plate 31 as a closing body is provided on the opposite side of the balustrade panel 8 from the step 4 so as to close the gap 28 below the outer deck 12 .

The closing plate 31 is made of an opaque material such as black plastic or stainless steel plate, and is attached to the back of the balustrade panel 8 or fixed to the main frame 1 via a bracket. Other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment. By providing such a closing plate 31, the gap 28 is closed, and the space below the outer deck 12 becomes invisible to passengers, and the appearance is improved.

Here, the gap 28 described above can be eliminated by making the height of the outer deck 12 equal to the height of the inner deck 21, but the outer deck 12 cannot be lowered for the following reasons. That is, when an infant playing near the inlet part 32 (FIG. 4) where the moving handrail 16 enters and exits accidentally falls, the infant's body and head are prevented from being pulled into the moving handrail 16 by the floor plate 17. height H ₂ of the handrail 16, it is necessary to ensure infant head length equivalent 150~200mm above, the height of the outer deck 12 even more H ₂ 80 to 100
This is because it is necessary to increase the height by mm.

[0023]

As described above, in the balustrade for a passenger conveyor according to the first aspect of the present invention, the inner deck is provided at a position lower than the outer deck, and the holding plate on the inner deck and the support member below the outer deck are provided with the inner deck. The balustrade panel was pinched by
The height of the inner deck can be made lower than the cart bed, and even if a cart with large luggage is loaded, the luggage will not be caught on the inner deck, improving safety. This has the effect that it can be performed.

In the passenger balustrade according to the second aspect of the present invention, the inner deck is provided at a position lower than the outer deck.
The balustrade panel is sandwiched between the holding plate on the inner deck and the supporting member below the outer deck, and the holding plate can be detached from the step side. Thus, it is possible to improve the workability such as the replacement work of the balustrade panel.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, a balustrade for a passenger conveyor is provided in which an inner deck is provided at a lower position than an outer deck, and a balustrade panel is sandwiched between a holding plate on the inner deck and a support member below the outer deck. In addition, since the closing member for concealing the gap generated between the inner deck and the holding plate and the outer deck is provided, the appearance of the passenger conveyor can be improved in addition to the same effects as those of the first aspect of the present invention. This has the effect.
