Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a handrail for a passenger conveyor.

First, a conventional handrail of a passenger conveyor will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

In the figure, 1 is the main frame of the passenger conveyor, 2 is a tempered glass railing plate erected longitudinally along the edge in the width direction, and 3 is fitted to the edge of this. Packing 4 made of a groove-shaped viscoelastic material is fitted to the edge of the balustrade plate 2 via the packing 3 by a vertical groove 4a opened on one side, and a low friction material such as nylon is protruded from both sides on the other side. A guardrail 5 made of a metal material having an attached engagement portion 4b has a C-shaped cross section, and is movably fitted to the guardrail 4 through a C-shaped opening 5a, with an inner corner 5b of the opening 5a. A movable rubber handrail engaged with the engaging portion 4b is arranged along the edge of the balustrade plate 2.

That is, the guardrail 4 is fitted to the balustrade plate 2 via the packing 3, but when the vertical groove 4a is press-fitted into the balustrade plate 2 from above the packing 3, the packing 3 may break, and the guardrail There was a problem that required complicated work to properly fit the 4. Furthermore, due to unequal thicknesses of the balustrade plates 2, the required fitting action may not be obtained, and due to deterioration of the packing 3, the fitting force may decrease, causing the guardrail 4 to separate upward. Ta.

This invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks and aims to provide a balustrade for a passenger conveyor in which the guardrail can be easily and reliably attached to the edge of the balustrade.

An embodiment of this invention will now be described with reference to FIG.

In the figure, the same reference numerals as those in Figures 1 and 2 indicate corresponding parts, and 6 has a groove-shaped cross section, is made of aluminum material, hard synthetic resin material, etc., and is mounted on the edge of the balustrade board 2. 6a is a flange-shaped leg projecting outward from the edge on the opening side, and 4 is a vertical groove 4a that is fitted into the mounting body 6. An end face 4d facing the leg portion 6a of the mounting body 6 is formed at the open end of the longitudinal groove 4a, and a blocker 4c made of a countersunk screw is inserted through the leg portion 6a and screwed into the end face 4d. Mounted body 6
This is a guardrail fixed to the

That is, the mounting body 6 is fixed to the parapet plate 2 with adhesive or the like, and the guardrail 4 is fastened to the mounting body 6 by the blocker 4c. As a result, the guardrail 4 can be easily and reliably attached to the parapet plate 2 for replacement when parts become damaged. Further, the guardrail 4 is prevented from deviating upward from the mounting body 6 in FIG. 3 by the blocker 4c. Therefore, a safe parapet without any problems caused by improper fixing of the guardrail 4 can be obtained. Furthermore, the guardrail 4 can be stably fixed to the parapet plate 2 even if the groove depth of the mounting body 6 is made shallow, for example, about 12 mm. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, it is possible to store almost the entire guardrail 4 within the opening 5a of the moving handrail 5, and it is possible to easily obtain a slender railing edge in appearance.
The mounting body 6 may have a groove-like configuration in which two L-shaped pieces are arranged facing each other, or the mounting body 6 may be composed of a plurality of small pieces arranged at appropriate intervals along the length of the guardrail 4. It is clear that the same effect as the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 can be obtained even in this case.

As explained above, this idea places the mounting body on the edge of the balustrade board and fixes it with adhesive or welding, fits the guardrail to this, and inserts it into the leg of the mounting body. The guardrail is fixed to the mounting body by a blocker that is screwed into the guardrail. As a result, the guardrail can be easily and reliably fixed to the parapet, and a sturdy parapet for a passenger conveyor that does not cause accidents due to poor fitting of the guardrail can be realized.
