Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent collision or jamming with a face plate by making the shape of the face plate in a curve contacting with and along the underface of a handrail, forming the underedge of end parts in smooth curve in opposite side against getting-on or -off ports, and a shaping it in an eyeshape as a whole. CONSTITUTION:The shape of a face plate 8 is in an eyeshape as a whole. Namely, the upperedge 21 of getting-on or -off side end is shaped in a curve contacted with and along the underface of a handrail frame 3, and the loweredge 22 of opposite side against getting-on or -off port side is shaped in a smooth curve. Hereby, when a passenger gets on from a center arrow mark A, the end part of the face plate 8 to collide is hided with the underface of the handrail frame 3, as if it does not exist there. Moreover, when a passenger gets off from the arrow mark B direction, by the reason that the loweredge 22 of the end of face plate 8 is inclined in a smooth curve, a hand baggage or the like is slided to the C direction along this curve and not caught. Besides there is no space between the face of frame 3 and the upperface of the plate 8, hence the hand baggage can not be caught.

Also, by making the lower surface of the end opposite to the entrance side a smooth curve, when passengers get off, their baggage etc. will slide along the smooth curve, thereby preventing a head-on collision. In addition, in order to abut the face plate along the bottom surface of the handrail frame, etc., 7 Ace Spray!・You can eliminate the space between the bags, so your baggage will not get caught. Furthermore, by making the radius of curvature rlPr2 of the curve the same as the radius of curvature R of the lower surface of the frame, when the display device of the present invention is attached to the parapet glass panels that exist on the left and right sides of the passenger conveyor, it is possible to It becomes possible to use the same parts.

【Example】

An embodiment of this invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 10. Incidentally, the same parts as in FIG. 11 showing the conventional example are given the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted. FIG. 1 is a view of the display device 7 from inside the parapet glass panel 4. The faceplate 8 of the display device 7 is shown in this figure. The overall shape of the face plate 8 is an eye shape. In other words, the upper edge 21 of the end on the entrance/exit side forms a curve that abuts along the lower surface of the handrail frame 3. Further, the lower edge 22 of the end opposite to the entrance/exit side has a smooth curve. As a result, if passengers board from the direction of arrow A in the figure,
The end of the face plate 8 that collides with the conventional one is hidden behind the lower surface of the handrail frame 3 and does not exist at all. In addition, when a person gets off from the direction of arrow B in the figure, the lower edge 22 of the end of the face plate 8 forms a smooth curve, fltNl,
Since the baggage slides along this curve in the direction of arrow C, frontal tearing can be avoided, and accidents such as baggage getting caught and passengers falling down do not occur. Furthermore, since there is no space between the lower surface of the handrail frame 3 and the upper surface of the face plate 8, accidents such as baggage or the like getting caught in the handrail do not occur as in the conventional case. Furthermore, the shape of the eye shape is an excellent design.
It has a superior design compared to the conventional simple rectangular shape. As shown in FIG. 2, such display devices are generally provided on two parapet glass panels 4 on the left and right sides of the passenger conveyor. FIG. 3 shows an enlarged view of a portion of FIG. 2. A metal handrail frame 24 is provided at the upper end of the balustrade glass panel 4 with an elastic material 23 in between. This handrail frame 24 has a generally U-shaped space, into which an electric wire 25 for supplying power to the display device 7 is passed. Seven flanges 26 are formed in the left-right direction at the upper end of the handrail frame 24, and the flanges 26 are coated with a handrail guide 27 made of low-friction plastic. The movable handrail 2 is placed over this handrail guide 27. The moving handrail 2 is constructed of canvas coated with rubber. A display bag W7 is provided along the lower surface of the handrail frame 2. The outer peripheral surface of this display device 7 is composed of three members. That is, a face plate 8 is provided on the inside of the balustrade glass panel 4, a back plate 28 is provided on the outside of the balustrade glass panel 4, and a lamp case 29 is placed behind the park plates 1 and 28. A tube lamp 30 is housed in the lamp case 29 and the back plates 1 and 28, and is supplied with power from the M line 25. The three members 8, 28, and 29 are screwed in from the face plate 8 side and fixed to the parapet glass panel 4 by tightening with countersunk screws 31. The three members 8, 28, 29 are shown in FIGS. 5-10. First, the face plate 8 will be explained with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. The curves at both ends of the face plate 8 form circular arcs, and the radius of curvature rlF'2 is equal to the radius of curvature R (the first
(see figure). By making the radius of curvature rl#'2 of both ends the same in this way, the same parts (especially the back plate 28) can also be attached to the display device 7 provided on the balustrade on the opposite side of the symmetrically provided balustrade. This makes it possible to standardize parts and improve productivity. A recess 32 is formed on the inside of the face plate 8 for inserting a display board displaying notes or notices. Further, a countersunk hole 33 into which the countersunk screw 31 is screwed is formed. The face plate 8 of this actual MP1 example is made of transparent plastic, and the portion other than the recess 32 on the back surface is an opaque painted surface or a mirror processed surface. Next, back play 1.28 will be explained with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8. The overall shape of the back plate 28 is also in the same shape as the face plate 8. A long hole 34 for housing the tube lamp 30 is formed in the center. Further, a hole 35 is formed at a position corresponding to the countersunk hole 33 of the face plate 8. A small hole 36 in the vertical direction connecting the elongated hole 34 with the outside is provided for passing the electric wire 25 and for ventilation. A concave surface 37 is formed at the edge of the elongated hole 34 on the front and back surfaces. This is to prevent the light beam of the tube lamp 30 from leaking by fitting the lamp case 29 into this concave surface 37. Note that the reason why concave surfaces are formed on both the front and back surfaces is that the concave surfaces are also used for the display device provided on the railing on the opposite side. Note that the back plate 28 in this embodiment is made of opaque plastic or gold g. Next, the lamp case 29 will be explained with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10. The shape of this lamp case 29 matches the shape of the concave surface 37 of the back plate 1/28. A lamp mounting hole 38 for mounting the tube lamp 30 is formed in the center. Further, a female thread 39 is formed to receive and fasten the tip of the countersunk screw 31. By screwing the countersunk screw 31 into this female screw 39, three members 8.28.2
9 is tightened. Note that the lamp case 2 of this example
9 is made of opaque plastic or metal. According to the embodiments described above, the display device 7 can be easily attached and detached by screwing in and loosening the countersunk screws 31. In addition, by making the radius of curvature rlpr2 of the two curves of the face plate 8 the same as the radius of curvature R of the lower surface of the handrail frame 3 with which this face plate 8 comes into contact, the parapet glass panels 4 existing on the left and right sides of the passenger conveyor are
On the other hand, many of the parts constituting the display device 7 can be used in common. Further, in the above embodiment, the lamp case 29 is spindle-shaped as shown in FIG.
It can be shared by the left and right handrail glass panels 4. A concave surface 32 is formed on the back surface of the face plate 8, into which a film or plate with transparent holes processed by any method such as laser processing to display characters, designs, pictures, etc. that the display device fi7 is intended to display is fitted. can do. However, if this concave surface 32 is formed, the film or plate should be the r of the back plate 28! ! It may also be inserted on the i-side. In this case the curvature of the two curves of the faceplate is half 1r,. Since r2 is common to both the members ζ, it is possible to share the face plate attached to the left and right handrail glass panels. The face plate 8 and the back plate 28 are abutted along the lower surface of the handrail frame 3, and the electric wire for power supply can be passed through the small hole 36 of the back plate 28 at this abutting ff1 portion, as in the conventional case. Power supply wire 2
5 and wiring ducts do not cross the glass panel surface, and the aesthetic appearance can be maintained without interfering with the transparency of the parapet glass panel 4. In the above embodiments, the outer diameter of the back plate 1, 28 is the same as the outer diameter of the face plate 8, and has a similar shape. However, they do not necessarily have to have the same dimensions, and the shapes of the eyelids may be similar. Further, although the above embodiment was composed of the face plate 8, the back plate 28, and the lamp case 29, in other embodiments, the back plate 1.28 is omitted and the lamp case 29ζζ f! A hole may be provided through which the four wires 25 pass. In the above embodiment, the countersunk screw 31 is connected to the face plate 8.
Although it was designed to be screwed in from the side, in other embodiments, it may be screwed in from the lamp case 29 side. Thereby, the countersunk screw 31 can be hidden from view from the face plate 8 side, and the design can be improved. In the above embodiments, the lamp case 29 has an outer shape smaller than the eye shapes of the face plate 8 and the back plate 28. Does this mean that the passenger is a moving vehicle as shown in Figure 3? ! The rest of my fingertips pass through to grab 72!
This is to provide D. However, for example, JP-A-62
There is also a passenger conveyor with handrails 40 as shown in No. 264290 (Fig. 12). When installing a display device on such a passenger conveyor, the lamp case 29 is attached to the face plate 8, bar, and plate 1-2.
8,! The outer shape of the eye shape may be l:1i1tIIt. At this time, an extra space for grasping the handrail 2 is secured above the handrail deck by 4 degrees.

【Effect of the invention】

According to the above-mentioned passenger conveyor display device, the edge of the face plate of the display device is curved, so that passengers can avoid collisions by eliminating the edges that collide with the conventional ones.
Alternatively, a head-on collision can be prevented by causing colliding baggage etc. to slide along a curve. Furthermore, since no space is created between the face plate and the handrail frame or handrail deck, there is no possibility of baggage being caught between them.
