Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a person transfer device such as an escalator having an improved handrail deck provided with a movable handrail.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 5, handrails 102 and 103 as handrails are movably arranged on both sides of a step 101 of an escalator. The handrails 102 and 103 are bent so as to project to the hall 104 side and the landing side (not shown),
The bent portions are referred to as Newell portions 102a and 103.
I call it a.

The handrails 102 and 103 are movably supported by the upper portions 105a and 106a of the handrail deck, and the luminaire 1 is attached to the lower portions 105b and 106b.
07 and 108 are provided. Lighting equipment 107, 10
Reference numeral 8 is for illuminating the feet of passengers riding on step 101, so it is provided within the range of movement of step 101, and the newel parts 102a, 10 without step 101 are provided.
3a is not provided.

[0004]

However, the luminaires 107 and 108 for illuminating the passengers' feet are not detected in the step 101.
Is provided in a range where the
The lower part 105b, 106b of the handrail deck supporting the handrail deck, though not provided until 03a.
Was also provided up to the Newell parts 102a and 103a. Therefore, the lower part 105b, 1 of the handrail deck provided up to the newell parts 102a, 103a
06b was provided even though it was unnecessary, resulting in a high cost as a whole.

An object of the present invention is to provide a person transfer device such as an escalator in which the lower part of the handrail deck provided up to the Newell part is eliminated.

[0006]

In order to achieve such an object, according to the present invention, a newel portion which is movably arranged on both sides of a step and is bent so as to project toward a landing side and a landing side. A handlebar having a handlebar, and a handrail deck composed of an upper part and a lower part, the upper part slidably supporting the handrail, and a lighting device provided at the lower part of the handrail deck for illuminating the feet of passengers on a step. And the part corresponding to the newel part in the lower part of the handrail deck is eliminated.

[0007]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 to 4 are views showing an embodiment of a person transfer device according to the present invention.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 is a step of an escalator, and interior panels 2 and 3 made of one glass plate are erected on both sides of the step.
In addition, the escalator has a hall 4 for step 1 and a hall (not shown) for getting off step 1.
Are provided.

As shown in FIG. 3, the interior panel 2
A handrail deck is provided at the upper end of the, and this handrail deck is composed of an upper portion 5a and a lower portion 5b. An upper part 5a of the handrail deck slidably supports a synthetic rubber handrail 7 via a nylon slidable member 6. The handrail 7 serves as a handrail of a passenger on the step 1, and moves in the same direction at the same speed as the moving speed at the step 1. Also, the handrail 7
For the safety of passengers, the Newell part 7a is bent so as to project to the hall 4 side and the landing side.

A lighting fixture 8 composed of a fluorescent lamp or the like is provided on the lower portion 5b of the handrail deck.
Illuminates the passenger's feet on step 1 through a transparent interior panel 2. Since the luminaire 8 is for illuminating the feet of passengers on step 1, step 1
Is provided in a range in which is moved, and is not provided up to the Newell portion 7a. Similarly, for the interior panel 3, the upper portions 9a and 9b of the handrail deck,
A handrail 10, a Newell portion 10a, and a lighting fixture 11 are provided.

Here, the lower part 5b of the handrail deck,
Since 9b is for supporting the lighting fixtures 8 and 11, it is unnecessary for the Newell parts 7a and 10a where the lighting fixtures 8 and 11 are not provided. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 4, the lower parts 5b and 9b of the handrail deck are not provided up to the newer parts 7a and 10a, and only the movement range of step 1 is the same as the lighting fixtures 8 and 11.

[0012] By the way, conventionally, when the user stands at the hall and looks at the handrail newel part, the lower part of the handrail deck looks as if it protrudes from the width direction of the handrail, which is a little vague. However, in the present invention, the lower portions 5b and 9b of the handrail deck do not appear to protrude from the width direction of the newell portions 7a7b of the handrails 7 and 10, and give a smart appearance.

Also, by using only the handrail, it becomes easier for children and the elderly to grip.

In the above embodiment, an example in which the present invention is applied to an escalator as a person transfer device has been described, but it goes without saying that it can also be applied to a moving walkway.

[0015]

As described above, according to the present invention,
Since the part corresponding to the Newell part in the lower part of the handrail deck is eliminated, the material of this lower part is reduced, and the cost can be reduced as a whole.
