Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to an improvement of a handrail support and guide device for a passenger conveyor that supports and guides a passenger conveyor.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the conventional handrail support and guide device has a notch 1a in the upper end of a handrail panel 1 made of transparent tempered glass or the like, and a notch 2a in a U-shaped packing 2. Cover the upper end of one balustrade panel 1 with a gasket 2 so that the notches 1a of the balustrade panel 1 face each other, fit the guide frame 6 having U fg 3a on top of it, and insert the screws 4 into the notches 1a. , 2a and securely fasten the balustrade panel 1 and guide frame 3 with nuts 5, then insert the groove 6b above the guide frame B.
The guide 6 is fitted into the guide 6.

In such a conventional handrail support and guide device, a notch must be provided at the upper end of each balustrade panel for screw fixing, and there is a risk that the balustrade panel will be damaged due to over-tightening of one screw, resulting in extremely poor assembly work efficiency. Furthermore, in order to construct a handrail support and guide device with excellent design by installing the guide frame 6 within the inner periphery of the handrail 7 in a limited space, extremely small screws must be used, making handling difficult. It's also troublesome.

The present invention has been made in view of this point, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a handrail support and guide device for a passenger conveyor that can be easily and reliably assembled and has an extremely compact overall structure.

FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of a handrail support and guide device showing an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 11 is a handrail panel made of transparent reinforced glass, etc., and 12 is a handrail panel formed to have grooves on the upper and lower sides. The upper end of the balustrade panel 11 is loosely fitted into the lower groove of the frame 12 so that the frame made of a thin plate of stainless steel or the like covers the upper end of one balustrade panel 11 via a buffer 13. Reference numeral 14 is a short elastic member having a cross section with one side open and the middle part recessed inward. The balustrade panel 11, frame 12, and member 14 are integrally formed by elastic insertion force. Since this member 14 clamps the frame 12 from the left and right sides at one depression a by spring force, the balustrade panel 11 and the frame 12 can be integrally constructed with an appropriate bonding force.

Reference numeral 15 denotes a guide rail made of, for example, synthetic resin, which directly supports and guides the handrail 7, and is inserted and attached to both ends of the frame 12 one after another. Reference numeral 17 denotes a gap for reducing contact resistance with the handrail 7 that rotates in synchronization with a step (not shown).

With the configuration described above, there is no need to make a notch for screwing at the top of the balustrade panel, and even if there is a manufacturing error or molding error in the balustrade panel or frame, it can be done in advance at the top of the balustrade panel. After inserting the cushioning material, the elastic member 14 is inserted into the groove above the frame 12.1 This member 111 allows the balustrade panel and the frame to be easily integrated into an integrated structure, so that the cushioning material protrudes and improves the design. It doesn't harm your sexuality either. Further, since the guide rails that directly support and guide the handrail can be sequentially inserted into both sides of the frame, it is possible to obtain a handrail support and guide device that is extremely easy and compact.

Furthermore, in the present invention, the balustrade panel and the frame are removably connected by the elastic member.

The construction allows for extremely easy replacement of the flannel.

Moreover, with the support and guide device according to the present invention, it is extremely easy to change the size of the frame and make the frame protrude from the lower surface of the handrail as shown in FIG. 4, thereby changing the design.
