Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a skirt guard removing tool used for removing a skirt guard of a passenger conveyor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIGS.
6 is a view for explaining a conventional skirt guard removal tool shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 0, No. 0, the perspective view showing the removal tool, FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing the vicinity of the skirt guard of the escalator, FIG.
FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a state where the skirt guard is removed by the removal tool shown in FIG. 4.

As shown in FIG. 4, the conventional removal tool 1 has
A columnar portion 1C is formed at the end of the grip portion 1A, and a protrusion fitting 1D is integrally provided on the columnar portion 1C. As shown in FIG. 5, the escalator has a skirt guard 4 formed on a side portion of a movable step 7, and the skirt guard 4 is fixed to a mounting support frame 8 by a pair of screws 2 and 3.

When removing the skirt guard 4, after removing the pair of screws 2 and 3, as shown in FIG. 6, the protrusion fittings 1D of the pair of removal tools 1 are respectively inserted into the screw holes of the skirt guard 4. Is inserted, and the removal tool 1 is removed by grasping it with both hands and pulling it upward.

[0005]

By the way, since the skirt guard 4 generally has a large shape and a considerable weight, it is difficult to grasp the removal tool 1 and pull it up, as described above. However, in the conventional technique, there is a problem that the efficiency of the work of removing the skirt guard cannot be expected.

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 skirt guard removing tool capable of pulling up the skirt guard relatively easily.

[0007]

In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides a skirt for removing a skirt guard mounted on a passenger conveyor in a state where the screw fixing the skirt guard is removed. The guard removing tool has a first engaging element and a second engaging element that engage with a pair of screw holes formed in the skirt guard, and connects the first engaging element and the second engaging element. It is configured to include a connecting member.

According to the present invention, when removing the skirt guard, the screw fixing the skirt guard is removed, and the first engaging member and the second engaging member are respectively inserted into the pair of screw holes formed in the skirt guard. Engage the mates. In this state, the worker may put his shoulder under the connecting member and extend his body upward. Thus, the upward force applied to the connecting member is transmitted to the skirt guard via the first engagement element and the second engagement element, and the skirt guard can be pulled upward.

[0009]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of a skirt guard removing tool of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view showing an embodiment of the present invention,
FIG. 2 is an explanatory view showing an operation of the embodiment when the skirt guard is removed, and FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing a state when an operator carries the removed skirt guard.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 denotes a first engaging element that engages with one of a pair of screw holes formed in the skirt guard, that is, a hook, and 11 denotes a pair of screw holes formed in the skirt guard. The second engaging element that engages with the other of the two, that is, the hook. These hooks 10, 11
The neck of the hook 1 is engaged with the skirt guard.
A separation prevention member for preventing separation of 0 and 11 such as a metal fitting 1
2 and 13 are rotatably attached. Again hook 1
For example, annular portions 14 and 15 are formed in the upper portions of 0 and 11, respectively. A connecting member, for example, an end of a flexible belt 16 is connected to the annular portions 14 and 15. That is, the hook 1 including the metal fittings 12 and 13
An integral structure is formed by 0 and 11 and the belt 16.

In order to remove the skirt guard of the passenger conveyor using this embodiment, first, the screw fixing the skirt guard is loosened and removed. As a result, a pair of screw holes are exposed in the skirt guard.

In this state, as shown in FIG.
As illustrated in (b) and (c), the tips of the hooks 10 and 11 are engaged with the screw holes 18 of the skirt guard 17.
At this time, the metal fittings 12 and 13 pass over the upper portion of the skirt guard 17 and are arranged so as to face the tips of the hooks 10 and 11 inserted through the screw holes 18 of the skirt guard 17, as shown in FIG. .

When the hooks 10 and 11 are engaged with the screw holes 18 of the skirt guard 17 in this way and the operator's shoulder is put under the belt 16 and the operator extends his / her body upward, the belt 16 is released. The upward force applied to the skirt guard 17 is transmitted to the skirt guard 17 via the hooks 10 and 11, and the skirt guard 17 is pulled up. As shown in FIG. 3, the worker can carry the pulled-up skirt guard 17 to a predetermined place while keeping the belt 16 on his shoulder. Also,
The hooks 10 and 11 are held by the metal fittings 12 and 13 so as not to come off from the skirt guard 17 during the raising operation and the carrying operation of the skirt guard 17.

According to the present embodiment, the worker uses the belt 16
A large pulling force can be applied to the skirt guard 17 simply by putting a shoulder under the body and performing an operation of stretching the body, and the skirt guard 17 can be relatively easily removed from the frame forming the main body of the passenger conveyor. You can

Further, the skirt guard 17 that has been removed can be easily transported to a predetermined place simply by hanging the belt 16 on the shoulder.

[0017]

According to the present invention, the operator can pull up the skirt guard relatively easily by simply extending the connecting member to extend the body, and the efficiency of the work for removing the skirt guard can be improved as compared with the prior art. You can
