Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a movable handrail installed along an immovable passage, for example, an ordinary staircase or slope other than an escalator, or a flat corridor or an underground passage.

Conventionally, handrails provided along immovable paths are also immovable and fixed in position, just like the path, and their function is only to assist pedestrians in walking. For example, when an elderly or sick person goes up and down the stairs or walks down a hallway,
Its function is to prevent people from stumbling or staggering. − Also, handrails attached to escalators are also movable like moving treads, and movable treads have the function of eliminating the need for walking, and movable handrails have moving treads so that they are not dangerous. Does it play a role in improving the stability of human posture? Motsu. When I lowered the Vc, I found that climbing and descending from Iruma was done exclusively by moving the tread.
It is precisely because these people do not consciously climb up and down, but instead rely on the movement of the treads, that they are more likely to become unsteady in their posture.

In order to prevent this, a movable handrail that synchronizes with the movable footboard is provided.

It is possible to place baggage on the handrail of an escalator to reduce the burden. However, baggage placed in this manner must be supported with one's hands to prevent it from falling. In this case, since the user cannot directly hold on to the handrail, the original role of preventing the user's posture from becoming unstable due to the movement of the treadle is impaired.

An object of the present invention is to provide a novel movable handrail whose standing point is completely different from that of conventional fixed handrails and movable handrails attached to escalators as described above.

The configuration according to the gist of the present invention is a movable handrail for an immovable passage, which includes an endless band-like body having a path portion along an immovable passage, and a drive mechanism for rotating the endless band-like body.

The movable eyelid handrail for immovable passages of the present invention is completely different from the above-mentioned conventional fixed handrails and movable handrails attached to escalators in the following points.

In other words, in conventional fixed handrails, the passageway and the handrail are "immovable", such as a fixed handrail for an immovable passageway.
They are tied together based on a common concept. Furthermore, the movable handrail of an escalator is connected to the common concept of "movement", such as the movable handrail for the movable passage (stepboard group). In any case, from a technical point of view, they are nothing more than commonplace and simple things.

However, the idea of the present invention is that the state of the passage and the state of the handrail are different concepts, or contradictory, such as "immovable" and "movable", such as a moving handrail versus an immovable path. This is a completely novel idea.

Final F! According to Avc, it has the following actions and effects.

In other words, a pedestrian places his/her baggage on top of the above-mentioned rotating endless belt-like body, which is the main part of the handrail.
The user supports the loaded baggage with his hands and walks in accordance with the movement of the endless belt. Pedestrians walk with their feet on an immovable road surface (including the treads of each step of a staircase) (in other words, the movements of muscles in the legs, hips, etc. are transmitted via nerves during the process of walking). Even if you don't hold on to the endless strip directly, your attention is subconsciously aroused, and the problems that occur when using an escalator, such as wobbling, do not occur. As for your baggage, all you need to do is to secure it with IC&< to prevent it from accidentally falling.

The rotating endless belt supports the weight of the baggage and also carries it. It is very convenient for pedestrians because they simply have to walk along with the movement of the endless strip.
You will be helped.

This point is particularly effective when carrying heavy baggage or when climbing up and down sloping passages such as stairs or slopes. It is especially a great help to the elderly and sick.

It goes without saying that the device (equipment) is structurally significantly simpler than an escalator, and requires less capital investment.

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

As shown in Fig. 1111 and Fig. 2, the movable handrail provided for the entire staircase as a representative example of the immovable passage (11) is suspended between a pair of end wheels (21, I31, The route portion (4a) is completely equipped with an endless strip (4) supported by a parapet (5) and a drive mechanism (6) that forcibly rotates this. Drive mechanism (6) U
, has a motor (7) and a chain (8) suspended between the output tin rocket of this motor (7) and a sprocket fixed to the end wheel (2).

(9) and forward/reverse changeover switches (10) and (10) are provided, respectively.

The parapet (5) is connected to the lower path portion (4) of the endless strip (4).
b) It is constructed in a hollow shape and has 7 langes Hk that are in contact with the inner surface of the side wall (11) on the side of the passage (1), and at these 7 langes (I2), the side wall (1)
1) K bolt (secured with l).

It is also possible to construct the parapet (5) so as to cover the upper end of the side wall (11) as shown in FIG. 8 and to fix it to the side wall (n) with bolts.

Start/stop switch (9) and forward/reverse switch (l)
O) are made long over the entire length of the balustrade +6+, and by providing them on the inner surface of the balustrade (5) as shown in Figure 4, the switch can be placed anywhere within the length range of the upper path section (4a). It is also good to be able to operate it.

In addition, as shown in Figure 5, the start/stop switch (9) and all railings (5
) may also be a pressure-sensitive switch that spans the entire length of the switch.

The movable handrail may be provided on both sides of the passageway +1+, or may be provided on both sides, or may be provided in the center vc.

Further, a plurality of moving handrails may be arranged in parallel along the passage t1+.
