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, the structure which sticks a printing sheet on the handrail belt surface of an escalator and performs advertisement display has already been proposed as disclosed in, for example, Patent Document 1.

  The handrail belt of the escalator described in Patent Document 1 is such that a print sheet displaying only an advertisement is pasted in the longitudinal direction of the surface of the handrail belt.

JP 2003-212468 A

  The thing of the said patent document 1 provides an advertisement medium so that there may be "the printed sticker of the advertising matter was stuck on the surface longitudinal direction of the moving handrail" in Claim 1 of the claim at the time of the application. There was no idea that this printing sticker would provide a safety effect such as to prevent the passenger from falling over.

  On the other hand, with the recent use of escalators, due to the aging of the user base, there are a number of accidents that fall due to loss of the timing of weight shift when changing to a step that moves on the escalator platform. This is due to the fact that the color of the step staring at the transfer is dark and the movement (speed) of the step cannot be recognized. In addition, there is a phenomenon that the direction of movement of the escalator cannot be recognized, and reverse boarding is performed. Further, the advertisement printing described in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 is simply a character or design, and when the handrail belt is moving, the character or design looks as if it is a single band, and the direction display function. There was a problem that could not be demonstrated.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a handrail belt of an escalator that is configured to display the direction of movement of the handrail belt in an easily visible manner on the surface of the handrail belt, thereby preventing a fall accident or the like.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an escalator comprising a step that reverses and moves from the forward route to the return route, and transports passengers, and a handrail belt that reverses and moves from the forward route to the return route in synchronization with the step. in displays a moving direction, a printing sheet having a direction mark as a mark to achieve timing when possess the escalator with the surface of the handrail belt, the direction display mark, different from the handrail belt and color while is substantially equal to the width of the flat surface portion of the handrail belt, the printing sheet is the direction display mark, at intervals that exist one for a half circumference range of the inversion section, of the printing sheet It has a plurality in the entire length.

  In this way, the presence of the direction indication mark that indicates the moving direction of the handrail belt reversing part within the semicircular range allows the user (passenger) who is entering the escalator to move the escalator at the moving speed and direction. Can be visually recognized, and as a result, it is easy to take the timing of getting into the step and is useful for preventing reverse boarding.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to prevent a fall accident due to a failure in getting on the escalator and to prevent reverse boarding.

  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.

  A general escalator 1 includes a main frame 3 mounted on an upper floor 2A and a lower floor 2B, a number of steps 4 connected endlessly and moving in an inverted manner from an outward path to a return path, The handrail belt 5 having a width W1 that forms a horseshoe with the flat portion 5A and the semicircular portions 5B on both edges connected to the flat portion 5A and moving in a reversed manner from the forward path to the return path, and the handrail belt 5 A long printed sheet 6 is provided along the longitudinal direction and bonded and fixed (not shown) from the flat portion 5A (width W2) to the semicircular portion 5B.

  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.

  In addition, the print sheet 6 is attached to the entire length of the handrail belt 5, and a direction indication mark 6A for displaying the moving direction is provided on the surface layer by printing to the full width W2 of the flat portion 5A so as to be easily noticeable. A plurality of users (passengers) who are currently in the vehicle are arranged at intervals P (FIG. 4) existing in the semicircular range H (FIGS. 1 and 2) of the reversing part of the handrail belt 5. ), When the escalator 1 is viewed, the direction display mark 6A that always exists in the range of the symbol H that is always in front of the escalator 1 exerts the effect of reliably appealing the sense of speed and direction of movement. In addition, the direction indication mark 6A is different in color from the ground color of the print sheet 6 (for example, yellow), and the mark is not limited to the rhombus illustrated in the drawing, and there is no problem even with a large arrow or triangle mark.

  Here, the details of the printing sheet 6 are formed by a laminate layer on the surface in addition to an adhesive layer to the handrail belt 5 and a sheet layer on which printing is performed.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the moving direction of the handrail belt 5 can be displayed in an easy-to-see manner, thereby preventing a fall accident or reverse riding on the escalator.

  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.

The whole side view which shows one Embodiment of the handrail belt of the escalator by this invention. The front view which follows the XX line of FIG. 1 of this invention. Sectional drawing which follows the YY line | wire of FIG. 2 of this invention. The single-piece | unit perspective view of the printing sheet of this invention.
