Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an escalator balustrade with balustrade lighting.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A balustrade structure of a conventional escalator with balustrade illumination will be described with reference to FIGS. Figure 5
It shows a balustrade structure on one side of a conventional escalator with a balustrade illumination, and although not shown, a step B for carrying passengers is actually provided.
And, it is erected on both sides of the boarding / alighting board C. Figure 5
In the parapet of the escalator with a balustrade, an endless moving handrail 1 that moves in synchronization with the movement of steps, a handrail rail 2 that guides the moving handrail 1, and a handrail rail 2 that supports the handrail rail 2 Handrail deck 3 with opening
And a balustrade panel 4 attached to the opening of the handrail deck 3 and an illumination lamp 5 composed of, for example, a fluorescent discharge lamp,
Similarly, a wiring 7 provided inside the handrail deck 3 for connecting to the sockets 6A and 6B of the illumination lamp 5 to supply power, a fixing metal fitting 8 for fixing the wiring 7 inside the handrail deck 3, and the fixing metal fitting. It is composed of a mounting screw 9 for mounting 8 and fixing the handrail rail 2, and an acrylic lamp cover 10 for protecting the illumination lamp 5.

[0003]

However, in the conventional escalator with balustrade illumination, since the mounting interval of the mounting bracket 8 of the fixing bracket 8 for receiving the wiring 7 is the same as the mounting interval of the mounting screw 9, the interval is In some cases, the wiring 7 became wider, and the wiring 7 drooped down, resulting in a shadow on the lamp cover 10. In addition, if the wiring 7 hangs down near the electrodes of the illumination lamp 5, the coating of the wiring 7 may be melted. Further, in the case where the wiring 7 hangs down in this way, a new fixing metal fitting 8 must be added locally, and this mounting requires a great deal of labor, so a fundamental measure is required. Has been done.

Further, the illumination lamp 5 causes lateral shake due to its own weight, especially in the arm bending portions A on the upper and lower floors, and the socket 6
Poor contact with A and 6B may occur, and there is a danger that sparks will occasionally scatter.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to securely attach the wiring for the illumination lamp of the escalator with a balustrade illumination to the inside of the handrail deck to improve the safety and design and to simplify the wiring installation work. Moreover, it is intended to prevent the lateral shake of the illumination lamp for safety.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an endless moving handrail that moves in synchronization with a step in a balustrade installed upright on both sides of the step of an escalator. A handrail deck that supports the moving handrail and has an opening portion on the lower side and an engaging groove inside, a balustrade panel and an illumination lamp provided in the opening portion of the handrail deck, and engages with the engaging groove by a leaf spring action. In addition, there is provided a balustrade for an escalator, which is provided with a wiring receiving fitting for receiving and fixing the wiring for the illumination lamp.

[0007]

With the above construction, according to the present invention, in the balustrade standing upright on both sides of the steps of the escalator, the balustrade panel and the illumination lamp are provided in the opening of the handrail deck, and the engaging groove provided inside the handrail deck. Since the wiring receiving metal fitting is engaged by the leaf spring action and the wiring for the illumination lamp is fixed by the wiring receiving metal fitting, it is possible to provide the escalator balustrade excellent in safety and design.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a sectional view showing a balustrade structure of an escalator which is an embodiment of the present invention. Here, the same parts as those of the conventional configuration are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description is simplified.

In FIG. 1, 1 is a moving handrail and 2 is a handrail rail. The handrail rail 2 is attached to the handrail deck 11 by means of an attachment screw 9. The balustrade panel 4 and the illumination lamp 5 are attached to predetermined positions in the lower opening of the handrail deck 11. The illumination lamp 5 is covered and protected by a lamp cover 10. Handrail deck 1
A wiring 7 for supplying electric power to the illumination lamp 5 is provided inside 1 and is received and fixed by a wiring receiving fitting 12 formed of a thin plate.

Here, engagement grooves 13a and 13b which engage with the wiring receiving fitting 12 are provided inside the handrail deck 11, and the wiring receiving fitting 12 is fixed to the engagement groove 13 with screws. It is easily attached and detached by the leaf spring action.

At this time, the wiring fitting 12 is attached so that first one end is engaged with the engagement groove 13a and then the other end is bent while being bent to engage with the engagement groove 13b. Therefore, the wiring receiving member 12 acts as a leaf spring, and is held and fixed by the force (restoring force) that the spring tries to restore.

FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 are views showing the balustrade structure of the arm curved portion A on the upper and lower floors of the escalator. The difference from FIG. 1 is that the wiring fitting 14 is provided with a protruding piece 14a, and the steadying piece 15 is provided on the protruding piece 14a. The steady rest 15 is screwed and attached to a screw hole provided in the protruding piece 14a. Also, this steady rest 1
Reference numeral 5 is for preventing lateral shake of the illumination lamp 5. The wiring receiving metal fitting 14 is similar to the wiring receiving metal fitting 12 in the engagement grooves 13a and 13b provided inside the handrail deck 11.
It is detachably attached by engaging with.

As described above, according to this embodiment, in order to prevent the wiring 7 from hanging down, the engagement grooves 13a and 13b are provided inside the handrail deck 11, and the engagement grooves 13a and 13b are provided.
Since the wire receiving metal fittings 12 and 14 are detachably engaged with each other, the arm bending portion A in which the wiring droops particularly easily
Further, it can be additionally attached near the sockets 6A and 6B, and it is possible to easily prevent the wiring from sagging and thermal deformation. Furthermore, since the wiring bracket 14 is provided with the steady rest 15, it is possible to prevent lateral shake of the illumination lamp 5 and ensure further safety. In this embodiment, the wiring receiving fittings 12 and 14 are used in combination, but no problem arises even if they are integrally attached to either one.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, the wiring for the lighting lamp of the escalator with balustrade lighting is securely attached to the inside of the handrail deck to improve safety and design, and the wiring installation work is simplified. In addition, the lateral shake of the illumination lamp can be prevented.
