In the closed state on the front side of the cover body 16, as shown in FIG. 2, the surface fastener male member 24 a and the surface fastener female member 24 b are engaged with each other to keep the closed state, and the front side of the cover body 16 is opened. In this case, as shown in FIG. 8, the surface fastener male member 24a and the surface fastener female member 24b can be detached to open the divided upper side of the front wall 16a. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a transparent portion 21 is formed at the lower side of the front wall 16 a of the cover body 16 and the upper and lower intermediate positions avoiding the installation position of the cleaning member 13. The internal space S and the handrail 110 side can be seen. In the present embodiment, the cover body 16 is made of a hard synthetic resin plate such as a plastic whose transparent portion 21 is transparent, and the other is formed of a metal such as an iron plate. The cover body 16 is not limited to the one described above, and may have any structure, shape, and size.

  As shown in FIGS. 2, 5, and 6, the sandwiching device 18 is a sandwiching support unit that sandwiches the inner plate 108 of the arc-shaped reversing portion 112 of the escalator and supports the cleaning unit 12. In the present embodiment, the clamping device 18 is connected to the cover body 16 that holds the cleaning member 13, and includes a first clamping member 26 and a second clamping member 28. The first and second clamping members 26 and 28 are opposed to each other in the lateral width direction of the cover body 16 so that the inner plate 108 is sandwiched between the first and second clamping members 26 and 28 when supporting the arc-shaped reversing portion 114 of the escalator to a predetermined position. Has been placed. The first and second holding members 26 and 28 are respectively attached to the arm portion 30 whose one end is fixed at the upper and lower intermediate position of the cover body 16 and the other end is extended to the back side, and the inner plate 108 of the escalator. And an abutting portion 32 provided at the other end of the arm portion 30. The arm portion 30 is an arm member made of, for example, a metal belt-like plate material, and is formed by being bent at a plurality of positions so that the handrail 110 can be bypassed and the other end contact portion 32 can be attached to the inner plate 108. Has been. In the present embodiment, the arm portion 30 is configured by connecting a plurality of L-shaped plate members, for example, and the first L-shaped member 34 having one end fixed to the cover body 16 and the first L-shaped member 34. It includes a second L-shaped member 36 that is connected, and a third L-shaped member 38 that is connected to the second L-shaped member 36 and to which the contact portion 32 is attached. The first, second, and third L-shaped members 34, 36, and 38 are connected to each other via a fixing member 40 that is detachably fixed such as a bolt and nut. A long hole 42 is provided in a plate piece portion connected to the second L-shaped member 36 of the third L-shaped member 38 so that the connecting position with respect to the second L-shaped member 36 can be changed. Thereby, it can mount according to the thickness of the inner side board 108, and a support position. Furthermore, a long hole 43 is provided in the plate piece portion to which the contact portion 32 of the third L-shaped member 38 is attached, so that the attachment position of the corresponding contact portion 32 can be changed. In addition, the arm part 30 may be comprised with one strip | belt-shaped board member, for example, and is good also as other arbitrary structures.

  Each contact part 32 consists of a suction cup member which made the contact surface 32a to the wall surface of the inner side board 108 the adsorption surface, for example. The suction cup member includes, for example, a suction cup main body 44, a shaft portion 46 protruding from the suction surface of the suction cup main body 44, and a pivot portion 48a attached to the shaft portion 46 via a pivot shaft 48a. The suction cup device 20 is configured by a lever 48 that rotates and performs suction and release operations. In other words, the support device 14 includes the suction cup device 20 that holds the support position of the cleaning unit 12 by being attracted to the wall surface of the inner wall 108 of the arc-shaped reversing portion 112 of the escalator entrance 116. The suction cup device 20 is assembled to the arm portion 30 by passing the shaft portion 46 through the long hole 43 of the third L-shaped member 38 and attaching a lever 48 to the tip of the shaft portion 46 via a pivot shaft 48a. . The suction cup device 20 contacts the suction surface of the suction cup main body 44 against the wall surface of the inner wall 108 with the lever 48 operated to the release side, and then operates the lever 48 to the suction action side to move the suction cup main body 44 to the inner plate. Adsorb to 108. Since the first and second clamping members 26 and 28 are provided with the suction cup device 20, the first and second clamping members 26 and 28 can hold the supporting force more reliably by the suction action of the suction cup device 20 in addition to the action of clamping the inner plate. it can. That is, the clamping member 18 and the suction force of the suction cup device 20 can reliably hold the cleaning member 13 at a predetermined height position and resist the force received by the cleaning member 13 from the moving handrail 110. The position can be maintained, and the cleaning member can be cleaned well without being displaced and the cleaning member is not detached from the handrail. In the present embodiment, the sandwiching device 18 and the suction cup device 20 are provided at the same time. However, for example, the contact portion 32 is not a suction cup but a hard plate member, a rubber plate, or the like. Or it is good also as a structure supported only by the suction | attraction force in the suction cup apparatus 20, without pinching | interposing an inner side board.

  In the case of a configuration in which the inner plate 108 of the escalator is provided at a position close to the left or right end side of the handrail 110 instead of the left and right center position of the handrail 110, the embodiment shown in FIG. It is good to do. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the structure of the arm part 30 of the 1st, 2nd clamping members 26 and 28 of the clamping apparatus 18 differs from the above. In the embodiment of FIG. 9, the length of the third L-shaped member 38 in the left-right direction is set differently by the first and second clamping members 26, 28, and the clamping position by the suction cup device 20 is the inner plate 108. Is set corresponding to. Therefore, the arm portions 30 of the first and second clamping members, that is, the third L-shaped member 38 having the same length as shown in FIG. 6 and the third L-shaped member 38 having different lengths as shown in FIG. Thus, the handrail cleaning device 10 can be attached according to the installation position of the inner plate 108 of the escalator to be installed.

  As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, and 4, in the present embodiment, the handrail cleaning device 10 includes a display unit 50 for making an escalator user visually recognize that the handrail 110 is being cleaned. The display unit 50 includes, for example, a display body 52 on which a figure or a character is given, and a display rotation body 54 that rotates as the handrail 110 moves. The display body 52 is, for example, a thin plate member, and its contour shape is formed in a substantially circular shape imitating the face of a person or a character, and a face picture or the like is written on the surface. The display body 52 has an opening 56 where the eyes, mouth, etc. are applied, and corresponds to the position of the transparent portion 21 of the front wall 16a of the cover body 16 when attached to the cover body 16. In addition, a character display of “CLEAN” is written on the surface of the display body 52. A magnet 58 is fixed to the rear surface side of the display body 52 and is provided so as to be attracted to the cover body 16 of the support device by magnetic force adsorption. When the front wall 16a of the cover body 16 is made of a ferromagnetic metal such as an iron plate, the magnet 58 is attracted. However, when the front wall 16a is not formed of a ferromagnetic body, the front wall 16a is attached to the front wall 16a. A configuration may be adopted in which a ferromagnetic metal or magnet is fixed. As a result, if necessary, the display body 52 can be easily attached simply by moving it close to the cover body, and can be easily removed, and the display body 52 can be attached and detached as necessary to give different figures and characters. It is also possible to easily change the display by exchanging with another display body 52. In addition, the display body 52 has, for example, a structure that can be attached and detached with a hook-and-loop fastener, a structure in which a claw part is provided and a concave part is provided in the cover body and is engaged with the claw part and the recessed part, and a structure that is attached and detached by a screwed structure such as a screw. It is good also as arbitrary structures.

The display rotation member 54 is made of, for example, a horizontally long cylindrical roller, and is attached to the left and right side walls 16b and 16c of the cover body 16 so as to be rotatable about an axis via a rotation shaft 54a having both ends pivotally supported. The display rotating member 54 is installed so that the roller peripheral surface comes into contact with the handrail 110 of the escalator while the cleaning member 13 is supported on the inner plate 108 of the escalator by the support device 14, and the handrail 110 moves. Along with this, it rotates around the axis. Therefore, when the user views the rotating display rotating member 54, it can be confirmed that the handrail cleaning device 10 is cleaning. Two display rotating members 54 are arranged apart from each other in the vertical direction so as to be visible through the transparent portion 21 of the cover body 16 in accordance with the position where the transparent portion 21 is formed. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, when the eyes and mouth opening portions of the display body 52 are aligned and attached to the transparent transparent portion 21 of the cover body, for example, the eyes of the display body 52 imitating a human face, It can be seen that the rotation member 54 for display rotates from the opening 56 of the mouth portion, and can attract more attention from the escalator user. Note that the display unit 50 is not limited to the above, and may have an arbitrary configuration. For example, the display body 52 may have any other shape such as a polygon, an ellipse, a star, or a character. The display body 52 may be three-dimensional, and may have a bowl shape, a box shape, or other hollow three-dimensional shape that covers the cleaning means and the cover body. The graphic display of the display body 52 may be any other figure such as a person, character, animal, geometric pattern, or the like. For example, in addition to the indication that the object is being cleaned, such as “cleaning” or “cleaning”, the character display on the display body 52 may be any other note such as “Please hold on the handrail”, advertisements, advertisements, etc. An indication may be given. Further, the display means 50 may, for example, make the cover body 16 itself in the shape of a person, a character, an animal, etc., or display a figure, characters, etc. on the surface of the cover body 16. Further, the display rotation member 54 of the display means 50 may be provided so as to rotate in contact with the side of the handrail 110, for example. In addition, the display means 50 is, for example, a light emitting device such as a light emitting diode or the like that has an arbitrary color such as red or yellow, a structure that includes a mirror that reflects light or a colored reflecting member, or the like. Any other structure such as a structure to be displayed may be used. For example, when a light emitting diode or the like is used, it is possible to use electric power generated using movement of the handrail of the escalator.

Next, an operation of the escalator handrail cleaning apparatus 10 according to the first embodiment will be described. As shown in FIGS. 1, 5, and 6, the handrail cleaning device 10 is set at a predetermined height position from the floor surface so that the user can easily see the arc-shaped reversing portion 114 of the escalator entrance 112. However, the escalator inner plate 108 is sandwiched between the opposed first and second clamping members 26 and 28. At this time, the arm portions 30 of the first and second clamping members 26 and 28 may be attached by attaching and detaching the bolts and nuts (40) as necessary. The cleaning surface 13a of the cleaning member 13 and the peripheral surface of the display rotating member 54 are aligned with the surface of the handrail 110, the suction cup body 44 is abutted against the wall surface of the inner plate 108, and the lever 48 is moved. The suction plate device 20 is operated to suck the inner plate 108 and at the same time, the inner plate 108 is held by the first and second holding members 26 and 28 of the holding device 18 to support the cleaning member 13. Since the support device 14 including the clamping device 18 and the suction cup device 20 is configured to be supported by using the inner plate 108, the entire device can be made compact and manufactured with a simple structure at low cost. In addition, the mounting operation can be performed easily, and even when mounted, it is difficult for the user to get in the way. When the handrail cleaning device 10 is attached and the escalator is driven to move the handrail 110, the surface of the handrail 110 is automatically cleaned by the cleaning member 13. Since the handrail cleaning device 10 is supported by the arc-shaped reversing portion 114 of the escalator as described above, the user can easily visually recognize the cleaning device at all times. Furthermore, the user can confirm that the handrail is being cleaned by displaying a figure or characters on the display body 52 or rotating the display rotating member 54. As a result, the escalator user can confirm that the handrail 110 is clean, and can urge the user to grab and use the handrail naturally without resistance, so that improvement of the user's safety can be expected. For example, when the cleaning member 13 becomes dirty after a certain period of time, the display body 52 is removed, and the surface fastener male member 24a, which is the closing holding means 24 of the cover body 16, as shown in FIG. disengaged with the female member 24b, opening the front wall 16 a of the cover body. After the cleaning member 13 is replaced with a new one, the cover body 16 is closed, the display body 52 is attached, and cleaning can be performed again.
