Abstract

PURPOSE:To attract thorough attention to a danger around a stepping face edge part so as to improve safety by providing a mirror face body consisting of escalator members arranged facing to a marker body, changing relatively to the marker body and generating an image of the marker body. CONSTITUTION:A first mirror face body 41 is arranged against the side face of a footstep 2 after polishing the surface of a skirt guard made of stainless steel plate and a second mirror face body 21c is arranged against the front part marker body 2e of another adjacent footstep 2 after polishing the surface of a riser made of stainless steel. With this constitution, the image of the side part marker body 2d of a footstep 2a is reflected on the first mirror face body 41, and the image of a front part marker body 2e is reflected on the second mirror face body 21c. Consequently, a passenger on the footstep 2 sees the side part marker body 2d, the substance of the front part marker body 2e and their images simultaneously and recognizes them as a wide marker body. Accordingly, a danger around the marginal part of the step surface 2a is thoroughly given attention, to minimize accident to be bitten in a space gap 5 or clearance 6 to improve safety.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an escalator device, and is intended to improve the safety between a tread and a member that is disposed close to the tread and is relatively displaced.

[Conventional technology]

Figures 5 to T show a conventional escalator device similar to that shown in, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 54-32229, and in Figure 2, (1) is the main frame of the escalator.

(2) is a large number of steps that are connected and operated in circulation in the main frame (1), (2a) is the tread of the step (2) provided with cree) (2t+), (2c) is the step (2) Main frame (1
) A riser formed on the edge of the lower edge; (2a) is a rod-shaped step made of synthetic resin; (2) side markings provided on both edges of the tread (2a) in the width direction;
2θ) is a front indicator body made of a rod-shaped synthetic resin material, which is provided on the edge of the tread surface (2a) on the side opposite to the riser (2c);
) is a parapet erected at the edge along the length of the main frame ftl, (
4) is a skirt guard provided at the lower part of the parapet (3), facing the side surface of the step (2), and arranged along the movement path of the step (2).

The conventional escalator device is constructed as described above, and passengers are transported by the steps (2) and treads (2a) that are moving on the top side of the main frame (11). Both have a gap of about 3 mm (5)
are opposed to each other via the steps (2), and are relatively displaced by the movement of the steps (2). Also, there is a gap (6) of about 2 mm between the riser (2c) of the step (2) and another adjacent step (2).
The steps (2) face each other via the main frame (11) and are relatively displaced when the steps (2) move in a curve between horizontal movement and inclined movement as shown in FIG. The gap (5) with the escalator member, in which the passengers carried by the escalator ride near the edge of the tread (2a) and are displaced relative to each other.

Accidents may occur where footwear or the like is caught in the gap (6). In order to prevent such accidents, side markings (2a) and front markings (2e) are provided to prevent passengers from riding on the edge of the tread (2a). These side markers (Za),
The front marker (2e) has a bright color 2, for example yellow.

Manufactured from orange, red, etc. synthetic resin molded products and marked with danger. Also, a width of 3
mm, about 10mm in height glue'J-
However, since it is made of synthetic resin, it is prone to breakage and wear due to repeated stepping on it by passengers. Therefore, the width of the markers (2a) and (2e) themselves should be about 30 mm.

The cleat (2b) is designed to be elongated so that it is less likely to be stepped on by passengers, thereby reducing breakage of the cleat (2b).

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the escalator device as described above, the side marking body (2a
) Since the front sign (2e) is narrow and long, it does not give a good impression to passengers and has little ability to alert passengers to danger, so it is necessary to prevent accidents in which a passenger gets his or her footwear caught in the gap (5) or gap (6). The problem was that it was insufficient.

The present invention has been made to solve this problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a highly safe escalator device in which danger at the edge of the tread is sufficiently aroused by markings on the tread.

[Failure to solve the problem]

In the escalator device according to the present invention, a mirror surface is provided on the surface of the escalator member that is relatively displaced with respect to the mark on the edge of the tread.

[Effect]

In the escalator device configured as above.

The sign is reflected on the opposing mirror surface and is perceived by the two passengers as being wider than the actual sign.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. In the figure, the same reference numerals as those in Figures 5 to T indicate corresponding parts, and CD is a first mirror-faced body with a polished surface of a skirt guard made of a stainless steel plate and placed facing the side surface of the step (2). , (21c) is another step (2) adjacent to which the surface of the riser made of stainless steel plate has been polished.
This is the second rod mirror body facing the front marker body (2e).

In the escalator device configured as described above, the image of the side marking body (2d) of the tread (2a) is shown on the first mirror surface body (40), and the image of the front side marking body (2e) of the tread surface is on the second mirror surface body (40). Therefore, the passengers on the steps (2) will see the side markings (2a), the front markings (2θ) and their images together, and will see the wide markings (21c). Therefore, the danger at the edge of the tread (2a) is sufficiently aroused, and the accidents of being caught in the gap (5) and gap (6) are reduced, making it possible to obtain a highly safe escalator device. I can do it. Again.

The side markings (2a) and the front markings (2e) are formed narrowly as shown in FIGS. 5 to 1.

Problems such as breakage will not increase.

In addition, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the first rod mirror body (4
a. Since the second rod mirror surface body (21c) is made of stainless steel plate, it can maintain a good mirror surface for a long period of time without being damaged. However, even if the first rod mirror body I and the 24th mirror body (21c) are made of a suitable metal plate plated with glossy chrome, a synthetic resin plate, or an aluminum sheet metal with a gloss finish to form a mirror surface, the first mirror body It is clear that the same effect as the embodiment of FIGS. and 2 can be obtained.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the invention.

In the figure, the same symbols as in Figures 1 and 2 indicate corresponding parts,
(2a) is a side marker made of a synthetic resin material containing fluorescent dye. In the embodiment of FIG. 3, the second rod mirror body Cυ
The irradiated light is reflected as shown by arrow A in FIG. 3 and illuminates the side marker (2d).

The brightness of the side markings (2d) increases and is more clearly recognized by passengers. Therefore, in addition to the effects of the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, an escalator device with increased brightness and even higher safety can be obtained.

FIG. 4 also shows another embodiment of the invention.

In the figure, the same symbols as in Figures 1 and 2 indicate corresponding parts,
(2a) is a side marker made of a translucent synthetic resin material.

(2f) is provided on the edge of the step (2) and the side marker (2
d) is attached to the retirement surface, arrow B indicates light emitted from a light source (not shown) provided under the step (2) in the main frame (11).In the embodiment of FIG. As shown by arrow B, it is reflected on the second type mirror body 0D and illuminates the side marking body (2d) through the gap (5).Therefore, in the embodiment of FIG. In addition to the preparation in the embodiment, a danger alerting effect can be obtained by the side marking body (2d) itself emitting light.

Moreover, since the side marker (2d) is illuminated as shown by arrow B, the lower surface of the side marker (2d) can be supported sufficiently widely by the retirement surface (2f). Therefore, even if the strength of the side beacon (2d) is low, it can be maintained for a long period of time without any problems, preventing it from falling off due to breakage, and preventing passengers on the steps (2) from looking directly into the light source. A resolving effect can be obtained.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, this invention provides a mirror body on the surface of an escalator member that is relatively displaceable with respect to the sign body on the edge of the tread of the step, and the sign body is reflected on the mirror surface so that passengers can It was designed to be recognized as a wide sign even when it is in real life.

This arouses danger at the edge of the tread and reduces accidents in which passengers' shoes or the like are caught in the edge of the tread.
