Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a footboard excellent in an outward appearance by arranging at least one of a notch and a flat part on an antislipping upper surface of a footstep of an escalator by arranging an antislipping body composed of an abrasion resistant material over the whole cleat upper end surface of the footboard, and forming a pattern such as a character or a picture. SOLUTION: A large number of cleats 6 are formed on a footboard 5 of a footstep. An antislipping body 7 composed of an abrasion resistant material is arranged over the whole upper end surface in the cleats 6. The antislipping body 7 is formed by being simultaneously embedded at molding time of the footboard 5. A notch or a flat part is formed in the antislipping body 7 arranged on an upper end surface of the cleats 6. Thus, since various patterns 9 can be formed only by working an upper surface of the antislipping body 7, a footstep excellent in an outward appearance can be obtained thereby to improve a commodity value of an escalator.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an escalator step.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, in a step of an escalator, a wear-resistant non-slip body is provided on an upper end surface of a cleat of a step plate in the step to prevent a passenger using the escalator from falling on the step. I have to.

[0003]

The steps of the above-mentioned conventional example are as follows.
There is a problem that the cleat is simply provided on the upper surface of the cleat of the tread plate, and the appearance is not good.

[0004] It is an object of the present invention to provide an escalator step capable of solving the above problems.

[0005]

The object of the present invention is to provide a step of an escalator in which a non-slip body made of a wear-resistant material is provided on the entire upper surface of a cleat of a tread. Is achieved by forming a pattern such as a character or a picture.

[0006]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, an escalator 1 has a plurality of steps 2 connected endlessly, balustrades 3 and 3a suspended on both sides of the steps 2, and an escalator 1 disposed above the balustrades 3 and 3a. Handrails 4 and 4a. The handrails 4 and 4a are configured to move in the same direction at substantially the same speed as the steps 2.

A large number of cleats 6 are formed on the tread 5 of the step 2. The cleat 6 is provided with a non-slip body 7 made of a wear-resistant material on the entire upper end surface.
The non-slip body 7 is formed by embedding at the same time as the step board 5 is formed.

As shown in FIG. 3, cuts or flats 8 are formed in the non-slip body provided on the upper end surface of the cleat 6. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a pattern 9 is formed on the upper surface of the tread plate 5 by the cut or flatness 8.

According to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG.
By simply processing the upper surface of the non-slip body 7, various patterns 9 can be formed, and the steps 2 having a good appearance can be obtained.

[0011] Therefore, the commercial value of the escalator is improved.

In this embodiment, the pattern 9 is formed on the tread plate 5, but the riser surface of the step 7 may be provided with a pattern.

According to this embodiment, the pattern is formed semi-permanently by processing the upper surface of the non-slip body 7.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, an escalator step which can be easily provided with a good appearance and whose commercial value is improved can be obtained.
