Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a passenger conveyor such as an escalator or an electric guideway, and more particularly to a parapet decoration device.

[Background of the invention]

In general, the performance required for a passenger conveyor includes transportation capacity, ride comfort, and safety, as well as the integrity of the overall design quality. Individuality is starting to become more important.

Many improvements to the balustrade design have been proposed so far, the main examples of which are the balustrades shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, which are known from Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 59-108686. this is,
A step 1 arranged in an endless manner to carry passengers, a rotating body such as a handrail 2, and a handrail deck 4,
A passenger conveyor equipped with a balustrade 3 consisting of a glass panel 5, an inner deck 6, an outer deck 7, etc. is provided with unique lighting using a decorative bag WI8 to vary the design of the balustrade. The details of this balustrade 3 include, in addition to a lighting device 11 consisting of a lamp 9 and a lamp cover 10 provided below the handrail deck 4, a light source device 12 (light source 13, box 14) below the outer deck 7. A light emitting body 15 made of an optical fiber or the like is provided which reaches the side surface of the glass panel 5 via the hole 7a and the closing plate 7b.

Then, a light design is expressed on the balustrade 3 using the light rays emitted by the lighting device 11 and the light rays emitted by the light emitting part 15a of the light emitter 15.

Although the dynamic light design created by this decorative device 8 has been well received, the cover 16 that protects this device obstructs the transparency of the glass panel 5, and the local protrusion W on the back side It has been pointed out that there is a safety issue in that it is dangerous to come into contact with.

Therefore, a highly transparent design with a reduced height H of the cover 16 and safety measures to compensate for the local protrusion W are required.

[Purpose of the invention]

An object of the present invention is to provide a balustrade for a passenger conveyor that improves the safety of the balustrade by improving the arrangement of the decoration device to harmonize the transparency of the glass panel with the light effect of the decoration device.

[Summary of the invention]

The present invention arranges a decorative device with a light emitting function within the space between the handrail deck and the outside deck on the back side of the glass panel constituting the balustrade, and a protective panel is placed outside the decorative device at a position facing the glass panel. It is designed to protect passengers from contact.

[Embodiments of the invention]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

In the present invention, the decoration device 17 is arranged at a distance h from the upper surface of the outer deck 7.
Place them 8 distances apart. On the other hand, the project to the outside w1
Here, the height of the decoration device 17 itself is h2, and the distance between the handrail deck 4 and the outer deck 7 is Furthermore, the support body 18 is fixed to the light source device 12 to support the decoration device 17, and to accommodate and guide the light emitter 19.

The decoration device 17 performs optical expression with its light emitting portion 19a.

According to the invention, the glass panel 5 of the balustrade is provided with a decorative device 17
The transparent portion is only blocked by the support member 18, and the transparency is much higher than that of the conventional structure.

In addition, the decorative bag Y117 has a glass panel 5 and a protective panel 5.
Since both sides are covered by the decorative device R17, there is no risk of the passenger's fingers touching this decorative device R17.

It is highly safe as it blocks the harmful effects of external forces on the optical means.

In addition, although an optical fiber was used as a light emitting body in the embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this.

The decoration device itself can be used as a light emitting device such as a light display.
The structure may be such that the IUA is obtained from below the external deck via a support.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, there is an advantage that the transparency of the glass panel and the light effect of the decorative device are in harmony, and that it is possible to provide a railing for a passenger conveyor that has a high design quality and safety.
