CONSTITUTION: A passenger conveyor is furnished with a tread 3 traveling from a mounting part 1 to a dismounting part 2, railings 4 installed upright on the left and right of the tread 3, and handrails 5 furnished in the upper part of the railing 4 and traveling in the same direction as the tread 3, wherein the handrail 5A on the walking side is distinguished by color from the handrail 5B on the standing side.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a passenger conveyor such as an escalator or a moving road.

[0002]

[Prior Art] Recently, in order to measure the efficiency of use at airports and stations,
Many passenger conveyors such as long-distance escalators and moving roads have been installed, making them extremely convenient for users. Up until now, in consideration of the safety of passengers, they were instructed to stop on the tread, but considering the passengers' further flight, the right side of the tread is a walking surface and the left side is a stop surface. I have come to recommend ways. As an example, the one with a guidance display such as "The right side is a walking surface. Please stop to the left side if you are stopped" is put to practical use on the inner deck surface. As another example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-2016
As shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 81, there is proposed a tread surface provided with an arrow-shaped display portion, and the display portion is controlled to be lit.

[0003]

In the former case of practical use, the guide is simply displayed on the inner deck, so the user does not notice, and those who are talking in particular stop at the right side and hurry up. There was a problem that it caused a great deal of trouble to those who walked in. Further, the latter one is expected to be effective in terms of visual appeal because it is lit and displayed with an arrow, but it is necessary to provide an arrow display part on the tread or a device for illuminating this display part, which is a great deal. There is a problem that it is not only expensive but cannot be used for the already-delivered passenger conveyor.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a passenger conveyor which allows a passenger to easily distinguish between a walking section and a stop section at low cost.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The above object is to provide a tread that travels between an entrance and an exit, a balustrade installed upright on the left and right of the tread, and a tread provided on the upper part of the balustrade. In a passenger conveyor consisting of handrails running in the same direction, the handrail on the walking side and the handrail on the stopping side are color-coded, and the balustrade is provided with a label display of the walking side or the stopping side. It

[0006]

The handrail is color-coded into the walking side and the stopping side, and the balustrade is provided with labels for the running side and the stopping side.

This allows the customer to more clearly understand which side he should ride. In addition, the handrails are color-coded and labels are only attached to the balustrade, which can be easily applied to already-delivered products.

[0008]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a plan view showing an embodiment of the passenger conveyor of the present invention.

In the figure, 1 is an entrance portion, 2 is an exit portion, and 3
Is a tread that is connected endlessly between the entrance 1 and the exit 2 and runs. Reference numeral 4 denotes a balustrade standing upright on the left and right sides of the tread 3, and has labels 6A and 6B of "walking side" on the right side and "stop side" or "non-walking side" on the left side. 5
Is a handrail, and the right handrail 5A is colored blue and the left handrail 5B is colored red.

In the above structure, the passenger comes to the doorway 1 and looks at the handrail 5. At this time, the handrail 5A,
Notice that 5B is color-coded and look at the labels 6A and 6B attached to the balustrade 4. With this, it is possible to immediately determine which position one should be in and to get on the side where one is acting.

In this example, the handrails 5A, 5B
Is blue and red, but other colors may be used.
Although A and 6B are the walking side and the stopping side, other expressions may be used as long as they achieve the same purpose.

Further, in this embodiment, an example of an electric road is shown, but the same can be applied to an escalator.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, the customer can more clearly understand which side he should ride. Further, the left and right handrails on the tread are each color-coded differently, and a label is formed or affixed on the balustrade, which can be easily applied to already-delivered products.
