Description

  The present invention relates to a film sticking aid used for sticking a long film to a handrail of a passenger transport device such as an escalator.

  In department stores and stations, escalators are installed to raise people and cargo upstairs or downstairs. On long-distance sidewalks such as airport buildings, mobile sidewalks are provided to reduce the burden of carrying luggage.

  These escalators and mobile walkways generally have endlessly connected steps and endless handrails that move at a synchronous speed. Among these, endless handrails are of a predetermined shape, size and material because of the necessity of being deformable and the necessity of facilitating pedestrians to assist walking of people. . The material is, for example, rubber or flexible synthetic resin.

  On the other hand, since the material of this handrail is rubber or a relatively soft synthetic resin as described above, it is easily exposed to the outside air to be easily contaminated and soiled, and easily damaged. Therefore, the appearance is deteriorated at an early stage or unsanitary. For this reason, this handrail needs to be cleaned or replaced regularly, which requires a large amount of work and is uneconomical.

  On the other hand, in order to deal with the contamination, defacement and damage of the handrail, a film for protecting the handrail that can be replaced on the surface of the handrail has been proposed and used. This film has a sticking material applied on one side, and can be re-fitted frequently on the handrail surface. In addition, it is widely used today because it is hygienic and inexpensive.

  By the way, in order to stick this film to the handrail, a film pasting apparatus in which the pasting of the film to the handrail is partially automated has been proposed (for example, see Patent Document 1).

  This film sticking device is a device for applying an adhesive-coated film to a moving handrail. The film attaching device attaches the device to a handrail, the spindle means attaches a roll of film, and applies pressure to the film. Pressure means for allowing the film to adhere to the handrail. In use, the handrail can be driven across the device, and the film is unwound from the roll while the means for applying pressure causes the film to adhere to the handrail.

In addition, a method of attaching a film by manual operation by two workers is widely adopted and implemented at present. In the film attaching operation by this manual operation, the other hand pulls the film about 50 cm away from one attaching hand. Further, in this pulled state, the sticker is stuck so as to press the film against the handrail. This pulling and pasting operation is repeated.
Special table 2002-537200

However, in the conventional film sticking apparatus for handrails, a large-scale apparatus and work are required for automatic film sticking, which increases work costs and requires skill in the sticking work. There was inconvenience such as.
In addition, in the manual work by two workers, work efficiency is extremely poor because one sticker pulls the film and the other sticker repeats the work of sticking the film to the handrail.
In addition, in this manual operation, if the tensile force is not applied evenly over the entire width of the film, the film will be distorted and wrinkled, or bubbles may remain between the handrails, resulting in a finished appearance. There is a problem of getting worse.

  The present invention solves such a conventional problem, and two workers can efficiently attach the film to the handrail by manual work, and this adhesion work can be distorted. It is an object of the present invention to provide a film sticking aid that can be carried out without causing air bubbles to remain with the handrail.

In order to achieve the object, the film sticking aid of claim 1 is a laminated film sticking aid for sticking a long laminated film to an escalator or a moving handrail.
A flat plate made of synthetic resin rich in surface slidability is formed in a rectangular shape, and consists of an operation member having a recess on the lower surface that can be slidably operated on the handrail surface,
The concave portion has a horizontal lower surface portion and a pair of inclined surface portions that are continuous with each other on the left and right sides of the horizontal lower surface portion so as to be symmetric with respect to the center line of the handrail and are inclined downward to each other. ,
A film width direction regulating member that guides a long film to be attached to the handrail while regulating the long film in the width direction at equidistant positions symmetrical to the center line on the upper surface of the operation member. It is characterized in that it is formed as a pair.

  With this configuration, the film with the operation member recessed portion attached to the handrail and one end fixed on the handrail is interposed between the film width direction regulating members on the operation rail, at a position opposite to the fixed side. By pulling, the film can be held so as to be opposed to a regular position on the handrail. In addition, by pressing the film onto the handrail while peeling the release paper from the film at this regular position, the film is quickly moved to the regular position on the handrail by the adhesive applied to the film. In addition, it can be attached without causing wrinkles and so as not to cause air bubbles between itself and the handrail.

  Further, the film sticking aid of the present invention is such that the horizontal lower surface portion has a horizontal width of 70 mm, the angle of each inclined surface portion is 113 ° with respect to the horizontal lower surface portion, and the distance between the film width direction regulating members. Is 125 mm.

  With this configuration, the operation member can be attached to the handrails of all escalators currently in use, and when the recess is attached to the handrail so that the operation member is substantially horizontal to the handrail surface, The center line of the film and the handrail can be easily matched.

  Moreover, the film sticking auxiliary tool of the present invention is characterized in that the operation member is made of a lubricious synthetic resin.

  With this configuration, the friction coefficient of the contact surface between the concave portion and the handrail can be reduced, and the operation member can be smoothly moved onto the handrail. Thereby, the positioning operation | work of the sticking position of the film with respect to a handrail can be performed rapidly.

  In the present invention, the concave portion on the lower surface of the operation member is composed of a horizontal lower surface portion and a pair of inclined surface portions that are inclined so as to open downward, and a guide is provided on the upper surface of the operation member while regulating a long film in the width direction. By projecting the film width direction regulating member to be performed, the film can be held at a regular position on the handrail when the film is attached to the handrail. In addition, by pressing the film onto the handrail while peeling the release paper from the film at this regular position, the film can be quickly moved to the regular position on the handrail without causing wrinkles. It can be stuck so that air bubbles do not enter between the rails.

Hereinafter, a film sticking aid according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
1, FIG. 2, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 are a front view, a plan view, a right side view, and a bottom view showing the film sticking aid according to this embodiment.
In the same figure, this film sticking auxiliary tool A consists of the flat-shaped operation member 11 as a whole. The operation member 11 is integrally formed of a lubricious synthetic resin such as an acetal resin.

  The operation member 11 is provided with a concave portion 12 penetrating in the front-rear direction on the lower surface. The concave portion 12 is composed of a horizontal lower surface portion 13 and a pair of inclined surface portions 14 and 15 which are continuous on the left and right sides of the horizontal lower surface portion 13 so as to expand downward.

  The size of each part of the operation member 11 is, for example, 170 mm in long side and 135 mm in short side in plan view, the width of the horizontal lower surface part 13 is 70 mm, and the inclined surface parts 14 and 15 are inclined with respect to the horizontal lower surface part 13. The angle is 113 ° and the depth of the recess 12 is 20 mm. Moreover, this recessed part 12 is made into the size which the said inclined surface parts 14 and 15 can contact with the side circular arc surfaces 22 and 23 of the handrail 21 both sides shown with a dashed line.

In the contact state between the side arcuate surfaces 22 and 23 of the handrail 21 and the inclined surface portions 14 and 15, a gap G remains between the upper surface (horizontal surface) of the handrail 21 and the horizontal lower surface portion 13 of the operation member 11. It is.
Therefore, by forming the concave portion 12, the lower surfaces of the left and right end portions of the operation member 11 are provided with protrusions 16 and 17 having a triangular cross section, for example.

  Furthermore, film width direction regulating members 18a to 18d having the same shape and the same size are integrally projected at the four corners of the upper surface of the operation member 11. The distance between the film width direction regulating members 18a, 18d and 18c, 18d is slightly larger than the width of the film.

  Therefore, the operation member 11 can guide the film 24 slidably between the film width direction regulating members 18a, 18d and 18c, 18d. At the time of this guidance, the release paper is still attached to the lower surface of the film 24 via an adhesive material.

Next, a method of sticking the film 24 to the handrail 21 using the film sticking aid having the above-described configuration will be described.
First, two workers form a pair and place (temporarily place) a long film 24 on the handrail 21 of the escalator that is stopped. At this time, the release paper is not yet peeled from the film 24.

  Here, the sticker, one of the workers, peels the release paper by a predetermined length at the end of the film 24 and attaches the film 24 to the surface of the handrail 21 through the adhesive material exposed at this portion. This sticking operation is performed carefully by aligning the center line of the film 24 with the center line of the handrail 21 by visual measurement.

  Next, the operation member 11 is placed on the handrail 21. At this time, the horizontal upper surface of the operation member 11 is operated in parallel with the upper surface of the handrail 21. Then, the film 24 is guided between the film width direction regulating members 18a, 18b and 18c, 18d on the operation member 11 so as to cover the upper surface of the handrail 21.

In the guide state of the film 24, the handle of the film 24 moves and operates the operation member 11 along the handrail 21 by, for example, about 5 m while pulling a predetermined portion of the film 24.
This moving operation can be performed lightly and promptly because the inclined surface portions 14 and 15 of the lubricating operation member 11 slide smoothly along the arc surface of the handrail 21.

  When this movement is advanced by 5 m, for example, the tentacle slowly peels off the release paper from the film 24 by about 5 m, and the film 24 is sequentially pasted on the handrail 21 through the adhesive material toward the operation member 11 side. Go. In this pasting, the center line between the handrail 21 and the film guided by the filter width direction regulating members 18a to 18d is matched by mounting the concave portion 12 of the operation member 11 on the handrail 21.

For this reason, the biasing position of the film 24 does not occur. Further, the film 24 can be affixed to the surface of the handrail promptly and with a length balanced in the left-right direction without making a wrinkle or the like.
For this reason, as in the past, in order to align the film 24 and the handrail 21, the film 24 is re-stretched, bubbles are generated between the handrail 21, and dirt is attached. Disappears.

  Thus, in this embodiment, it consists of the operation member 11 which has the recessed part 12 attached to the surface of the handrail 21 so that sliding operation | movement is possible on a lower surface, and the recessed part 12 is the horizontal lower surface part 13 and this horizontal lower surface part 13 of A pair of inclined surface portions 14 and 15 are provided on the left and right sides so as to be symmetrical with respect to the center line of the handrail 21, and are inclined in the direction of opening downward from each other. By projecting a film width direction regulating member that guides a long film 24 to be attached to the handrail 21 while regulating it in the width direction at a symmetrical equidistant position, the film 24 is placed on the handrail 21. Can be held in the normal position.

  In addition, by pressing the film 24 onto the handrail 21 through the adhesive material while peeling the release paper from the film 24 at this regular position, the film 24 can be quickly moved to the regular position on the handrail 21. And it can stick without generating a wrinkle and so that a bubble may not enter between handrails 21.

  The present invention allows two workers to efficiently attach the film to the handrail by manual operation, which causes distortion of the film or leaves air bubbles between it and the handrail. Useful for film sticking aids, etc. used to stick long films to handrails used as handrails for passenger transport devices such as escalators. It is.
