Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a boarding / alighting device for a visually impaired passenger conveyor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 53-26090, a conventional device is a boarding / alighting guide device for a visually impaired passenger on a passenger conveyor using a block display for a visually impaired person at an entrance / exit. The display body was composed of only a stop block display body for stopping, and the guide range was also before the comb plate.

[0003]

By the way, since the passenger conveyors are arranged consecutively and the steps of rotating are sequentially shown from the bottom of the comb plate, when moving to the step of moving from the stationary comb plate. It is most easy to lose balance. Therefore, it is safest to use the block display for the visually impaired as a stop block display at the comb plate portion.

However, in the above known example,
(1) All the block display bodies used for the boarding / alighting guide are stop block display bodies for stopping, and (2) the guide range does not reach the comb plate part immediately before the step transfer part, which is the most effective for safety. There is a problem.

An object of the present invention is to provide a boarding / alighting guide apparatus for visually impaired passenger conveyors which solves the above problems.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a boarding / alighting guide apparatus for a visually impaired passenger conveyor using a block display for a visually impaired person at an entrance / exit, wherein the block display body is The guide block display for moving and the stop block displaying for stopping are provided, and the stop block displaying is formed on the surface of the comb plate.

[0007]

The block display body is composed of the guide block display body for traveling and the stop block display body for stopping, and the stop block display body is formed on the surface of the comb plate. You can guide.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.
Will be described.

FIG. 1 is a plan view of the entrance / exit, FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of an essential part of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a side sectional view of FIG.

In the figure, 1 is an entrance / exit of a passenger conveyor,
2 is an entrance / exit cover made of thin steel plate, 3 is an entrance / exit cover 2
A guide block for a visually impaired person attached to the surface of the central part of the guide block, a guide block display body 31 for projecting on the surface of the guide block 3 for advance, a comb plate 4 and a comb plate 4 41 The surface of the cover 2 is spherically projected by a screw that is screwed onto the cover 2. Reference numeral 42 denotes a stop block display body formed on the surface of the comb plate 4, which projects like the screws 41.
Reference numeral 5 is a step in which the comb plates 4 are arranged in series and rotate and appear sequentially from below the comb plate 4.

With the above-described structure, the visually impaired person who arrives at the entrance / exit 1 of the passenger conveyor advances along the advancing guide block attached to the surface of the entrance / exit cover 2, and has a spherical surface. The comb plate 4 having a stop block display protruding in the direction of the arrow reaches the stop. Since the comb plate 4 is provided immediately before the step 5 that appears from below, it is the safest way to transfer.

[0012]

According to the present invention, it is possible to guide a visually impaired person to the step immediately before the step, so that the visually impaired person can move to the step more safely.
