Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a balustrade of a man conveyor such as an escalator. 2. Description of the Related Art A balustrade of a man conveyer such as an escalator prevents a user from putting his / her hand on the boarding / dismounting or moving to make the posture unstable and preventing a danger to the user. Was the original function. However, this balustrade is often provided over a relatively long range over the entire movement of the passenger conveyor, and is often arranged at a position where it is easily touched by the eyes. For this reason, in the hospitality industry such as department stores and hotels, the balustrade of the man conveyor is regarded as one of the interior decorations of the building, and various designs are applied to it. It came to be. In recent years, the man-conveyor itself has been put into practical use in which all the hand frames are built in the hand rail to improve the transparency of the balustrade and improve the design effect. Along with this, various methods have been proposed in which the design effect is more positively applied to the balustrade of the passenger conveyor. For example, in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 58-75275,
There has been proposed a system in which a diffuser plate is provided on the outside of a transparent panel constituting the balustrade, and the diffuser plate is irradiated with light to enhance the design effect of the balustrade. The present invention aims to realize the design effect that has been required for the balustrade of the man conveyor described above, and it is possible to obtain various complicated design effects with a relatively simple structure. It is intended to provide a balustrade. In order to achieve this object, the present invention is provided on both sides of a step, and each step has
On the side away from the inner deck and steps that are placed on the side that is close to
A deck consisting of an outer deck to be arranged, a panel projecting from the deck in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plate surface of the step, a handrail frame attached to the green side of the projecting side of this panel, and this handframe Wrapped around,
It consists of a handrail driven in synchronization with the steps,
In the balustrade of the man conveyor arranged along both sides of the steps over the range of movement thereof, the panel is provided with a colored pattern, and the illuminating body whose periphery is covered with a reflecting plate is provided in the outer deck, The outer deck is provided with a translucent window portion for irradiating the illumination light from the illumination body to the colored pattern portion of the panel. With the above-described structure of the present invention, the illumination light from the illuminating body is condensed by the reflecting plate toward the transparent window portion, and the condensed irradiation light is transmitted through the transparent window portion. Through the panel
Illuminates the surface of. By illuminating this panel, the colored pattern provided on the panel is highlighted, and an excellent design effect can be obtained. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT A balustrade of a passenger conveyor according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings based on an embodiment thereof. FIG. 1 shows the construction of the balustrade of the passenger conveyor. On both sides of the step 2 , decks 5 are provided over the range of movement of the step (in FIG. 2, one deck 5
Shown). Each of these decks 5 is a step
The inner deck located on the side close to 2 and the step 2
It consists of an outer deck that is placed on the side where it is played. From the boundary between the inner deck and the outer deck of the deck 5, as shown in FIG. 2, a panel 6 is disposed so as to project substantially perpendicularly to the plate surface of the step 2. The panel 6 is divided into a plurality of sheets and is arranged over the moving range of the step 2. The handrail frame 4 is attached to the green side of the panel 6 on the protruding side. Handrail frame 4
The handrail 3 is wound around the handrail 3, and the handrail 3 is movable in synchronization with the movement of the step 3. In the outer deck of the deck 5, an illuminating body 7 is fixed to the upper chord member 1 of the frame, and the illuminating body 7 is covered by the upper chord member 1 side of the frame so as to prevent the diffusion of light. 8 is attached to the upper chord member 1 of the frame. A translucent window portion 15 is provided on the upper plate portion of the outer deck of the deck 5 to illuminate the illumination light from the illuminating body 7 toward the surface of the panel 6. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, a slit 9 is formed in the upper plate portion of the outer deck of the deck 5 , and the slit 9 is covered with a translucent cover 10 to transmit a translucent window portion 15.
Are formed. In the embodiment, the illuminator 7 is the deck 5 .
They are arranged at equal intervals over the entire length of the outer deck . Although not shown, a colored pattern is provided on the surface of the panel 6. The illuminating light from the illuminating body 7 is all collected in the direction of the transparent window portion 15 by the reflecting plate 8, and the collected irradiation light passes through the transparent window portion 15 and illuminates the surface of the panel 6. To do. When the surface of the panel 6 is illuminated by the illumination light from the illuminating body 7, the colored pattern provided on the surface of the panel 6 is embossed, and an extremely excellent design effect can be obtained by the user of the man conveyer. And can be given to surrounding customers. By forming the transparent window portion 15 with a transparent colored body, it is possible to obtain still another design effect. In this case, the translucent cover 10 is formed of a translucent colored body. At that time, the illumination light of the illumination body 7 passes through the translucent cover 10 formed of this translucent colored body, and is irradiated onto the surface of the panel 6 as colored illumination light. Therefore, the colored pattern applied to the panel 6 is
The color of the illumination light that has passed through the translucent cover 10 is superimposed, and a complex and elegant design effect can be obtained. When the translucent window portion 15 is composed of a translucent colored body, it is possible to obtain an excellent design effect even if the panel 6 is provided with only an achromatic uneven pattern. Alternatively, the panel 6 is made of a white non-transmissive material or a semi-transparent material, and even if the surface is not provided with any pattern, it is a colored illumination from the translucent window portion 15 made of a translucent colored body. By the light, it is possible to obtain a design effect of colors that are in harmony with the surroundings. In the embodiment, the case where the colored pattern is directly applied to the surface of the panel 6 has been described, but a sheet having the colored pattern may be attached to the surface of the panel 6. Further, in the case of obtaining colored illumination light, the illuminating body 7 itself may be colored instead of the translucent window portion 15 being formed of a translucent coloring body. In this case, if the coloring of the illuminating body 7 is made different at the arrangement position in the deck 5, a more excellent design effect can be obtained. In the embodiment, the translucent window portion 1 including the slit 9 and the translucent cover 10 is formed on the upper plate portion of the outer deck of the deck 5.
Although the one provided with 5 has been described, it is also possible to realize a configuration in which the outer deck of the deck 5 itself is a semitransparent body and the deck 5 itself is a light transmitting window portion. As described in detail above, according to the present invention, with a relatively simple structure, it is possible to prevent the diffusion of light, perform efficient illumination, and form a balustrade of a man conveyor. It is possible to provide a balustrade of a passenger conveyor that can give an excellent design effect to the panel in harmony with the surrounding atmosphere. Also, install the lighting unit inside the outer deck.
Because it is designed to be kicked, the deck shape is a special shape
Lighting body can be placed without needing to
It is easy to secure the
It can also be applied to the balustrade. In addition, the light from the lighting unit
Since it irradiates the surface, there is nothing
There are no restrictions.
