Abstract

PURPOSE:To carry a baggage of a passenger positioned on a step with a simple structure, in a passenger conveyer provided with an inner deck at the side part of the step which carries the passenger, by mounting rolling elements on which the load can be placed onto the top of the inner deck, and disposing the rolling elements along the traveling direction of the passenger. CONSTITUTION:Rolling elements on which a baggage 5 of a passenger can be placed, such as rollers 9, are disposed on the top of an inner deck 2. When the passenger who holds the baggage 5 gets on a step 1, he may place the load 5 on the rollers 9 and clamp a part of baggage 5. By the movement of the passenger with the movement of the step 1, the baggage 5 moves on the rollers along the traveling direction of the passenger. Therefore, only disposing the rollers 9 on the inner deck 2 can do work without requiring any driving source or the like in the rollers 9, so it is provide a simple structure at a low manufacturing cost.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a passenger conveyor which is provided in a lobby or the like of an airport and whose inner deck portion on the side of a step is utilized for carrying passengers' luggage.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional technique of this kind, JP-A-57-6 is used.
There is one disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 0960. FIG. 3 is a side view showing this conventional technique, and FIG. 4 is an enlarged sectional view of FIG. In these FIGS. 3 and 4, 1 is a step for carrying passengers, 2 is an inner deck provided at the side of step 1, and 3 is a moving handrail gripped by the passengers. Reference numeral 4 denotes a belt exposed on the upper portion of the inner deck 2, on which the luggage 5 of a passenger riding on the step 1 can be placed. The moving handrail 3
The step 1 and the belt 4 are configured to move synchronously by the same drive source 6.

In this prior art, since the moving handrail 3, the step 1 and the belt 4 move in synchronism with each other, when the passenger on the step 1 puts the luggage 5 on the belt 4, the belt reaches the end of the passenger conveyor. The luggage 4 can be carried by 4 and the fatigue of passengers is reduced.

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned prior art, the drive source 6 is used to move the belt 4.
It is necessary to provide a pulley 7 and a chain 8 for transmitting the rotational force of the above to the belt 4, and the device is complicated and the manufacturing cost tends to increase.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances in the prior art, and an object thereof is to provide a passenger conveyor capable of carrying a passenger's luggage on a step with a simple structure.

[0006]

In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides a passenger conveyor having an inner deck on the side of a step for carrying passengers, in which a load can be placed above the inner deck. A moving body is provided and the rolling bodies are arranged along the traveling direction of the passenger.

[0007]

Since the present invention has the above-described structure, the passengers on the step may put the luggage on the rolling element and carry the luggage with their hands. As a result, the luggage moves on the rolling elements as the passenger moves, and can be easily transported to the end position of the passenger conveyor. A special drive source for rolling the rolling elements or a rotational force transmission mechanism is not required, and the structure is simple.

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

FIG. 1 is a side view showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an enlarged sectional view of FIG.

In these figures, 1 is a step for carrying passengers, 2 is an inner deck provided at the side of step 1, 3
Is a moving handrail gripped by a passenger, and 6 is a drive source for driving the step 1 and the moving handrail 3 in synchronization. These are equivalent to those shown in FIGS.

In particular, in this embodiment, a rolling element, such as a roller 9, on which the passenger's luggage 5 can be placed on the upper portion of the inner deck 2.
Are arranged along the traveling direction of passengers.

In the embodiment thus constructed, when the passenger carrying the luggage 5 takes the step 1,
It suffices if it is placed on the top and a part of the luggage 5 is gripped. Due to the movement of the passenger accompanying the movement of step 1, the luggage 5 moves on the roller 9 along the traveling direction of the passenger. In this way, passenger fatigue is reduced.

According to this embodiment, it suffices to arrange the rollers 9 on the inner deck 2, and since the driving source of the rollers 9 is not required, the structure is simple and the manufacturing cost is low.

In the above embodiment, the rolling elements are rollers 9
However, it may be a roller or a sphere.

[0015]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it does not require a drive source for driving the rolling elements, is simpler than conventional ones, and can be manufactured at low cost. it can.
