Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the safety in a clearance part and to prevent an invasion of foreign matters by providing an engaging member to engage with a recessed groove projecting to a skirt guard side, and an inner deck piece of a synthetic resin furnishing a projection to a footboard side along the inclining angle of a inner brake inclination. CONSTITUTION:An inner deck 4 furnishes an inclination 4A higher at a handrail panel 3 side and lower at a footboard 1 side, a projection 4B projecting to the footboard 1 side more than a skirt guard 5 and blocking a clearance S, and a wide recessed groove 4C in the form projecting to the guard 5 side, opening sideway facing the footboard 1 side, and making the guard 5 side wider than the opening width. Furthermore, an inner deck piece 7 made of a synthetic resin is installed to the recessed groove 4C. And in the deck piece 7, its hard engaging member 7A is installed to the recessed groove 4C from the end in the longitudinal direction of the deck 4, and a soft projection 7B which is unitary with the engaging member 7A is projected to the footboard 1 side along the inclining angle of the inclination 4A of the deck 4. And the deck piece 7 is cut in the length same as the length of the deck 4, and its joint Q is cut obliquely to expose no sharp angle.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a handrail for a passenger conveyor such as an escalator or an electric road.

[Conventional technology]

In the conventional device, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 55-93790, a skirt guard stands upright with a slight gap on both sides of a moving tread, and an inner deck is provided to close the skirt guard and the handrail panel. It was getting worse. The lower side of the inner deck protruded from the skirt guard surface so as to wrap around both sides of the tread, and the upper side of the inner deck had an inclined part that gradually became higher on the side of the parapet panel.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The gap between the tread and the skirt guard in the prior art mentioned above has the problem of personal injury during descent (passenger's clothes and boots being pulled in or intruded) or paper pieces such as tickets, horse racing tickets, and boarding passes.

The purpose of the present invention is to improve the safety of the above-mentioned gap and to prevent foreign objects such as pieces of paper from entering, and also to provide a structure that is easy to wear.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a concave groove that protrudes toward the skirt guard side and opens laterally in the protruding portion of the inner deck toward the tread plate side, and an engaging portion that engages with this concave groove and An inner deck piece made of a synthetic resin material and having a protruding portion that projects toward the step board along the inclination angle of the inclined portion of the inner deck is provided.

In addition, in order to improve the ease of attaching this inner deck piece to the inner deck, the bottom of the groove is made wider than the opening width of the groove, and the engaging part of the inner deck piece inserted into this groove is It is made of a hard material, and the length of this inner deck piece is made to match the length of the inner deck.

[Effect]

The inner deck piece protrudes so as to close the gap between the footboard and the skirt guard, so it physically prevents passengers from approaching this gap and prevents personal injury such as boots being pulled in. It also prevents foreign matter such as pieces of paper that have fallen onto the slope of the inner deck from entering the gap. Furthermore, since the hard part of the inner deck piece engages with the groove and protrudes, it can be installed securely, and the soft part has the effect of protecting the passenger's feet. On the other hand, since the length of the inner deck piece is approximately equal to that of the inner deck, it does not get in the way when the inner deck is attached or removed, and the ease of mounting is improved. Furthermore, since the seam of the inner decking piece is cut diagonally, there is no chance of your feet getting caught in this seam.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

In the passenger conveyor of the present invention, a footboard 1 moves from one entrance to the other, and a handrail 2, which moves in synchronization with the footboard 1, is supported by a handrail panel 3. Inner deck 4. A parapet 6 consisting of a skirt guard 5 is erected. A parapet 6 consisting of a skirt guard 5 is erected.

Here, the inner deck 4 has an inclined part 4A where the side of the parapet panel 3 is higher and the side of the tread 1 is lower, and the tread 1 is higher than the skirt guard 5.
A protruding portion 4B that protrudes to the side and closes the gap S, this protruding portion 4
A recessed groove 4C is provided on the side of the skirt guard 5, and has a recessed groove 4C that protrudes toward the skirt guard 5 side and opens laterally toward the treadle 1 side, and is wider on the skirt guard 5 side than the opening width.
An inner deck piece made of synthetic resin is attached to the part.

In this inner deck piece 7, a hard engaging part 7A is attached to the groove 4C from the longitudinal end of the inner deck 4, and a soft protruding part 7B is integrated with the engaging part 7A. It protrudes toward the footboard 1 side along the inclination angle of the inclined portion 4A of the inner deck 4. Also, the length of the inner deck piece 7 is cut to the same length as the length of the inner deck 4, and the joint Q is cut diagonally (opening angle K in Figure 1) so that no sharp corners are exposed. The structure is as follows.

Since the inner deck piece 7 is made of synthetic resin material, it can be easily colored.For example, if it is made yellow, it will have the effect of calling attention to prevent passengers from approaching dangerous gaps. Also,
Since the protrusion 7B of the inner deck piece 7 is made of a soft material, it does not pose any danger to passengers.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, the gap between the footboard and the skirt guard is closed, thereby improving human safety and preventing the intrusion of foreign objects.

Moreover, a structure with good installation workability can be provided.
