The passenger conveyors are endlessly connected and have a plurality of steps 3 cyclically moving between the entrance and exit (between the entrances 1 and 2), and balustrades 4 disposed on both sides in the width direction of step 3 , And a moving handrail 5 disposed movably in synchronization with the step 3.

  The passenger conveyor also has a support structure (also referred to as a main frame) installed in the building, and drives the plurality of steps 3 by a drive device (not shown) in the support structure, and the periphery of the balustrade 4 The moving handrail 5 is moved in synchronization with the step 3 along FIG. A balustrade illumination 6 is installed between the balustrade 4 and the moving handrail 5.

  FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing the main part of the passenger conveyor shown in FIG. The balustrade 4 has a balustrade panel 4A whose lower portion is fixed, a balustrade top frame 8 fixed to the top of the balustrade panel 4A, and a balustrade illumination 6 provided in the balustrade top frame 8. Specifically, a balustrade panel 4A whose lower portion is fixed is erected on a support structure (not shown), and at the upper end of the balustrade panel 4A, the fixed supporting member 7, the balustrade upper frame 8 and the movable handrail supporting frame 9 is fixed by adhesion or other fixing method. The fixed support member 7 fixed to the upper end portion of the balustrade panel 4A is divided into a plurality in the longitudinal direction of the balustrade panel 4A, that is, the moving direction of the moving handrail 5, and a predetermined interval is provided between adjacent divided units. An internal holding member 11 which is held and which will be described in detail later is disposed at the predetermined spaced portion.

  Unlike the fixed support member 7, the balustrade upper frame 8 and the moving handrail support frame 9 are continuously configured in the moving direction of the moving handrail 5. A guide member 10 is fixed to the upper end portion of the movable handrail support frame 9, and the guide member 10 supports the movement of the movable handrail 5 so as to guide the movement. A plurality of internal holding members 11 for holding a light source storage body 14 described later are disposed in the balustrade upper frame 8, and the internal holding members 11 are fixed members 7 in the movement direction of the moving handrail 5 as described above. It arrange | positions in the part which opened predetermined spacing between division | segmentation units of, and is being fixed to the upper end part of the panel 4A.

  The balustrade illumination 6 is disposed along the moving direction of the moving handrail 5 and includes a light source storage body 14 having a light emitting element. A light source is configured in the light source housing 14. For example, a plurality of light emitting elements such as LEDs are disposed at arbitrary intervals in the longitudinal direction in the light source storage body 14, and each light emitting element uses a wire for a power supply installed in a support structure of a passenger conveyor. It is connected. An opening is formed in the balustrade upper frame 8 located in the vicinity of the lower part of the light source storage body 14, and a translucent illumination cover 15 projecting downward is attached so as to close the opening.

  FIG. 3 is an enlarged perspective view of the internal holding member shown in FIG. The inner holding member 11 is formed by bending an elastic wire, and thus has a spring action. The inner holding member 11 holds the inner holding member 11A having the holding portion 12A held by the upper end of the balustrade panel 4A and the light source holding portion 13A holding the light source storage body 14 and the holding at the upper end thereof. The internal holding member 11B having the light source holding portion 13B holding the light source storage body 14 is connected by the connecting portion 16, and the pair of sandwiching portions 12 (12A, 12B) and the pair of light source holding portions 13 (13A) , 13B) are integrally formed of an elastic wire.

  The pair of sandwiching portions 12 (12A, 12B) face each other with a predetermined angle α, and the opposing distance is the side of the upper portion of the balustrade upper frame 8 located on the lower side of the side of the balustrade panel 4A. It has a shape that gradually lengthens toward.

  FIG. 4 is an enlarged front view of the internal holding member shown in FIG. The internal holding member 11 is a light source formed by the sandwiching portion 12 formed by the folded back portions 17 and 18 folded back so as to face each other and the folded back portions 19 and 20 folded back so as to be disposed opposite to each other It has a holding portion 13 and a bending holding portion 21 which connects between the folded portions 17 and 18 by a curved shape.

  The folded back portions 17 and 18 are not entirely in a parallel relationship, and have a shape in which the facing distance gradually decreases toward the side to be inserted into the lower side balustrade panel 4A, and at the lower end, the balustrade panel The minimum opposing distance is smaller than the thickness of 4A. Further, the folded back portions 19 and 20 have a shape along the outer shape of the light source storage body 14 and have a minimum opposing distance smaller than the width dimension of the light source storage body 14 at the lower end. It is configured to be held so as not to drop downward.

  The folding and holding part 21 has several functions, one of which is to provide a spring action between the folded parts 17 and 18. A spring action is applied between the folded portions 19 and 20 by another bent portion, but a larger spring action is applied to the portion between the folded portions 17 and 18 by the bent holding portion 21.

  In addition, the bending and holding portion 21 performs another function. That is, since the folding and holding portion 21 formed in the shape of an ear of a rattan is disposed in the gap between the upper end of the balustrade panel 4A and the balustrade upper frame 8, the upper end of the bending and holding portion 21 is the balustrade upper frame It is placed close to the body 8. For this reason, even if the internal holding member 11 tries to move in the direction to get out of the balustrade panel 4A for some reason, the upper end of the bending and holding portion 21 is prevented from coming in contact with the balustrade upper frame 8 and coming off (dropping out). Ru. That is, since the retaining function is achieved by the configuration of the inner holding member 11 itself, the configuration can be simplified as compared with the case where the retaining is performed by another structure.

  Further, at the middle portion of the bending and holding portion 21, a protruding portion 22 which protrudes downward is formed. In the state of FIG. 2, the sandwiching portion 12 is inserted into the balustrade panel 4 </ b> A until the projecting portion 22 contacts the upper end surface 23 of the balustrade panel 4 </ b> A. At this time, the internal holding member 11 contacts the balustrade panel 4A with the folded portions 17 and 18 sandwiching the balustrade panel 4A and the projection 22 and is substantially fixed. For this reason, the internal holding member 11 does not tilt or fall in the moving direction of the movable handrail 5, and the posture of FIG. 2 is firmly held. Further, since the inner holding member 11 has the pair of sandwiching portions 12, the inner holding member 11 does not tilt or fall in the moving direction of the moving handrail 5 also by this, and the posture of FIG. And hold. That is, since the overturn preventing function or the attitude maintaining function is performed by the configuration of the inner holding member 11 itself, the structure can be simplified as compared with the case where the overturning or the attitude maintaining is performed by another structure.

FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing how the inner holding member is attached to the balustrade panel, and FIG.
FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the tip of the sandwiching portion is inserted into the gap between the upper end of the balustrade panel and the upper frame of the balustrade. FIG. 7 is a view showing a state in which a pair of sandwiching portions are separated from each other. FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line A, and FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the pair of sandwiching portions of FIG.

Here, a method of attaching the internal holding member 11 will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, in a state where the upper frame 8 is fixed to the upper portion of the balustrade panel 4A, the mounting operation is performed while holding the portion of the light source holding portion 13 with a finger or the like. That is, first, as shown in FIG. 6, the light source holding portion 13 is positioned slightly lower than the sandwiching portion 12, and a gap 24 described later between the upper end of the balustrade panel 4A and the balustrade top frame 8 is The tip of the pinching portion 12 is inserted. At this time, as shown in FIG. 7, the pair of pinching portions 12 separates the pinching portion 12A and the pinching portion 12B from each other and lengthens the opposing distance, that is, reduces the height dimension 25 of the pair of pinching portions 12 Push the gap 24 in the state. When the pinching portion 12 is pushed to a predetermined position, one of the folded portions 17 falls along the side surface of the balustrade panel 4A, and according to the spring action of the inner holding member 11, as shown in FIG. The pair 12 is restored from the separated state, and as shown in FIG. 2, the pair of sandwiching portions 12 is sandwiched by the upper end portion of the balustrade panel 4A, and the internal holding member 11 is fixed.
According to the present embodiment, the pair of sandwiching portions 12 (12A, 12B) face each other with a predetermined angle α, and the opposing distance is the barrow which is located upward from the side of the balustrade panel 4A located below. Since the shape is gradually elongated toward the upper frame 8 side, the pair of sandwiching portions 12 (12A, 12B) can be separated from each other to reduce the height dimension thereof. The pair of sandwiching portions 12 can be inserted into the gap 29A between the upper end of the panel 4A and the upper frame 8 of the balustrade.
