JPH08231168A - Step of passenger conveyor - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE: To make a sheet stickable to a normal position easily in the case of displaying a correct passenger position at the stairway and the like, by attaching a sheet, provided with plural pieces of long holes equivalent to length of a footboard, to plural bottom surfaces of this footboard, and pressing down an end of this sheet with both front and rear end cleats. CONSTITUTION: A step 1 is provided with a footboard 1A being composed of a top face 1a, a side face 1b and a bottom face 1c on the top surface, and both removable front and rear end cleats 1d and 1e are installed in respective front and rear ends of this footboard 1A. In this constitution the aggregate of a sheet 1B is stuck to this footboard 1A by means of adhesion or magnetic force. This sheet 1B combines a different color (for example, yellow) in the same color as the footboard 1A consisting of aluminum alloy and stainless steel, displaying its pattern, therefore this sheet 1B is bored with plural pieces of oblong holes so as to avoid the top face 1a and the side face 1b, namely, it is stuck to the bottom face 1c alone.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a step structure for a passenger conveyor including an escalator and its steps, an electric road and its pallets.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, it is known from Japanese Patent Publication No. 57-51264 that a different color material is provided on the surface of a step, and a different color film is attached to the cleat portion or a caution is displayed by painting (a dangerous portion A method of displaying or displaying a guide with a foot mark) is known.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In the above-mentioned prior art publication, in order to improve the safety between the side portion of the step and the skirt guard, a safety valve which is one step taller than the surface of the central portion is provided in the cleat. It is fixed to the bottom with screws. In this case, there is a problem that if the screws fall off, the hard and long safety valve will damage the comb at the entrance and exit and the rotating equipment. In addition, one with a film-shaped display attached to the surface of the cleat has a relatively large area (or in order to display a pattern, this is unavoidable).
Therefore, there is a problem in that the comb or the device is damaged in the same manner as above. Furthermore, on the surface of the cleat,
What was painted and expressed by painting was worn out and damaged by the soles of the shoes, and it was necessary to invest a great deal of labor and cost to repair it.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to a step having a number of cleats formed on the top surface, side surfaces and bottom surface of a step, and ends disposed at the front and rear ends of the step. In a passenger conveyor having a partial cleat, in which the treads mesh with the teeth of the combs of the landing floor and the landing floor, a plurality of bottom surfaces of the treads have a plurality of depths corresponding to substantially the entire depth of the treads. The sheet having the long holes is bonded and the ends of the sheet are pressed by the end cleats arranged at the front end and the rear end.

The long holes of the seat match the cleats of the treads, are divided at each bottom surface of the treads, and have a pattern displayed.

[0006]

[Function] Since the seat is provided with a plurality of elongated holes corresponding to the substantially full length of the tread, and the elongated holes are divided for each bottom surface of the tread, when the sheet is attached to the tread, By removing the end cleats located at the front and rear ends and pasting them so that the long holes of the seat match the cleats of the tread, the seat can be easily guided to the fixed position. Therefore, no special tool is required, the step can be attached to the step already built in the passenger conveyor by a simple method, and a complicated work such as removing the step is not required.

Further, since the seat is attached only to the bottom surface of the tread, the sole does not come into contact with the bottom of the foot, so that neither wear nor stain on the bottom of the foot is caused. Since it is hidden by being pushed down by the end cleat arranged at the end, there is no fear of peeling, and even if the adhesive surface of the cleat is peeled off, the comb or equipment is not damaged.

When the pattern displayed on this sheet is a foot-shaped aggregate, it can be used as a display of a dangerous portion as well as a correct passenger position on the steps.

[0009]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 shows a state immediately before step 1 enters the alighting floor 2, and the top surface of step 1 has a tread 1 including a top surface 1a, side surfaces 1b, and a bottom surface 1c.
A and a front end portion and a rear end portion of the tread 1A are provided with removable front end cleat 1d and rear end cleat 1e. Then, the tread 1A meshes with the teeth 3a of the comb 3 fixed to the tip of the floor 2 and advances into the equipment. The tread 1A includes the seat 1 of the present invention.
The aggregate of B is attached by adhesion or magnetic force.

Here, the shape of the sheet 1B and the attaching method will be described in detail. The sheet 1B displays a pattern by combining different colors (for example, yellow) in the same color as the tread 1A, which is generally made of aluminum alloy or stainless steel, and is attached to at least the bottom surface 1c of the tread 1A by an adhesive or magnetic force. Has been. In the example of FIG. 2, the state where the sheet 1B is adhered to the tread 1A is shown.
a, so as to avoid the side surface 1b, and the bottom surface 1c
The sheet 1 </ b> B is actually divided and is attached to only the bottom surface 1 c. 3 and 4 show the rear end portion of the tread 1A, and the attaching method will be described in detail below. Note that the front end portion has substantially the same structure as the rear end portion, and therefore will be omitted.

In FIG. 3, after removing the front end cleat 1d and the rear end cleat 1e attached to the front and rear ends of the tread 1A with screws or the like, the seat 1B is removed.
The sheet 1B is pressed against the bottom surface 1c so as to match the cleats of the tread 1A with the plurality of elongated holes, and simultaneously adheres to the bottom surface 1c to free both end surfaces in the longitudinal direction of the sheet 1B. In FIG. 4, the front end cleat 1d and the rear end cleat 1e are attached to the tread 1A with screws or the like, and at the same time, both longitudinal end faces of the sheet 1B are bent and pressed to conceal them to prevent the sheet 1B from peeling. You can

On the other hand, an example in which a pattern is displayed on the sheet 1B to form a foot-shaped aggregate will be described with reference to FIGS. The sheet 1B is divided by a plurality of elongated holes and has a back surface Fa with an adhesive. Display a pattern by combining the same color and different colors of the tread on the sheet 1B,
Although it may be partially omitted, it can be configured as a substantially foot type. The sheet 1B is to be attached to the bottom surface 1c of the tread 1A in the state shown in FIG. 3. For the sheet 1B itself, a material such as a polyester film having good coloring properties and good wear resistance is selected. The sheet 1B is not limited to the exemplification, and various patterns, color tones, and materials (for example, slip prevention may be used), and this concept may be applied to the caution zone of the step.

[0013]

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a step structure of a passenger conveyor in which the labor of the seat on which the pattern provided on the step surface is displayed is reduced and the adverse effect on the equipment is reduced.
