Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a moving handrail support and guidance device for escalators and moving walkways (hereinafter referred to as escalators, etc.), and relates to an improvement of a device that supports and guides a moving handrail using a handrail panel.

Conventionally, transparent tempered glass plates, plastic plates, etc. are often used for balustrade panels, but the upper edge of these balustrade panels is inserted into the frame of the main deck that supports the moving handrail, and is fastened to the main deck. This constitutes a support and guide device for the moving handrail. This is shown in FIG.

In the figure, 1 is a moving handrail that moves in synchronization with the step 2, 3 is a main deck that supports the moving handrail 1, and the main deck 3 has a guide rail 3a that directly supports and guides the moving handrail 1, and this guide rail 3a is attached. A substantially U-shaped deck 3b that opens upward to
and a deck 3c that opens downward to cover the upper end of the balustrade panel 4.
Reference numeral 5 denotes a parapet panel mounting member having a U-groove 5a fastened to the lower inner surface of the deck 3c with bolts 6.

Conventionally, in order to fasten the balustrade panel 4 and the main deck 3, first a cushioning material 7 is fitted to the upper edge of the erected balustrade panel 4, and the U groove 5a of the balustrade panel mounting member 5 is placed on top of it. Next, the pressure bonding plate 8 is inserted into the balustrade panel mounting member 5U groove 5a, and the bolt 9 previously attached to the balustrade panel mounting member 5 is screwed in with a spanner or the like. As a result, the tip of the bolt 9 presses the upper edge of the balustrade panel 4 via the pressure bonding plate 8 and the cushioning material 7, and the balustrade panel attachment member 5 is attached to the upper edge of the balustrade panel 4. Next, attach the deck 3 to the parapet panel mounting member 5.
c, put the deck 3b on top of the deck 3c, put the guide rail 3a on top of the deck 3b,
The main deck 3 is attached to the balustrade panel attachment member 5 with bolts 6, and the balustrade panel 4 and the main deck 3 are fastened together.

Such work not only takes time to assemble because the support device has many parts, but also requires the user to lean out from the handrail panel 4 from the step 2 side when installing the handrail panel mounting member 5. The sex is extremely bad. In such a conventional device, in order to loosen the bolts 9, especially when replacing the handrail panel 4 that has already been installed,
It is necessary to lean out from the deck 3c and insert your hand from direction A, further worsening work efficiency. Furthermore, if the shape of the deck 3c is increased to some extent in order to improve workability by making it easier to access from the A direction during this replacement work, the design will be unsightly.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a movable handrail support and guide device for escalators, etc., which is easy to install, has a small overall structure, and has an excellent design.

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a movable handrail support and guide device showing an embodiment of the present invention. It has a recess that covers the upper end,
The left and right upper surfaces opposite to the recess are molded to have recesses, and are made of a material that is easy to mold, such as extruded aluminum or resin. The balustrade 11 according to the present invention is constructed by inserting the conventional balustrade panel 4 into a recessed portion of the support member 12, and integrating the conventional balustrade panel 4 and the support member 12 by adhesive or press-fitting. A plurality of short support members 12 may be prepared for each balustrade panel 4, or they may have approximately the same length as the balustrade panel. Reference numerals 13 and 13' denote frames 14 and 1 formed of extruded aluminum or thin plates of stainless steel or the like so as to cover the left and right side surfaces of the support member 12.
4' is a guide rail that directly guides the moving handrail 1;
It is removably attached to the depressions on the left and right upper surfaces of the support member 12 via frames 13 and 13' with screws 15 and 15'.

With the configuration described above, the guide rails 14, 14', which are the guide bodies of the moving handrail, can be attached from above to the left and right upper surfaces of the support member 12 of the balustrade panel 4 according to the present invention, so that it is easy to lean out. The installation work of the movable handrail support and guide device can be easily performed without any need. Furthermore, since the number of parts can be reduced, not only can the time required for assembly work be shortened, but also material costs can be reduced.

Furthermore, since the movable handrail guide device can be made smaller overall, it is possible to provide an escalator or the like with excellent design.
