Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a display device for a passenger conveyor such as an escalator or an electric road.

[Conventional technology]

For conventional passenger conveyors, an optical fiber display type additional device disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 59-108686 is known. However, this method did not take passenger safety and design into consideration.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

The above conventional technology was provided to increase safety and enhance the decorative effect, but since it is a point illumination that gathers the end faces of optical fibers, the path to the display surface is large and limits the transparency of the balustrade panel. There were safety problems in that the light emitting power was weak, and hands could collide with the protrusion from the balustrade panel surface.

An object of the present invention is to provide a display device for a passenger conveyor that is excellent in safety and design.

[Means for solving problems]

The above purpose is to provide a thin film display with an arrow and a pattern drawn on the side of the railing panel near the entrance/exit of the passenger conveyor at least. This is achieved by providing an illumination body that emits light toward the target.

[Effect]

The display body is affixed to the side surface of the balustrade panel, and receives light from an illumination body provided on the deck cover below it, and emits light toward the step side. In particular, this display body is made of a thin sheet-like material, and the surface of the display body has colorful characters indicating how to safely ride the passenger conveyor, as well as a direction display.

Store information, store symbols, etc. are drawn on the display, and these display items are illuminated by the light from the illumination body. This provides a safe and highly designed display device for passenger conveyors.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, there are two moving bodies, a step 1 and a handrail 2, which are arranged in an endless manner, and a doorway 3. Comb 4. Balustrade 5. illll sun-dried outer deck cover 6
,! The overall configuration of the drying panel 7 etc. is the same as before, but
In the present invention, a thin display body 8 is attached to the outer surface of the handrail panel 7 that forms both walls of the entrance/exit 3, and an illumination body 9 that emits light toward the display body 8 is attached to the outer deck cover 6.
It is distinctive in that it has been established. Here, the display body 8 is a thin sheet-like material with an adhesive surface that is pasted on the balustrade panel 7.
Made of translucent material. On the other hand, the illumination body 9 is fixedly installed in a shape that is the same as or slightly protrudes from the upper surface of the deck cover 6, and is equipped with a cover 9a and a lamp 9b, and irradiates a light beam in the direction of arrow A to display the display items on the display body 8 with light. This display body 8 and illumination body 9 constitute a display device 10 of the present invention.

Note that the illumination body 9 is powered by an electric wire 11 that is energized inside the deck cover 6. In addition, inside the display 8, there are arrows (Y shown in Figure 1) indicating the direction of step 1, letters indicating safe use such as ``Hold the moving handrail 1'', and sales counters such as ``Sporting Goods''. Guide letters, then floor markings, pictures and patterns such as store symbols are printed or hand-drawn.

In this way, by providing the display body 8 that is thin and has little protrusion, it is possible to prevent collisions with hands and increase safety, and there is no need for wiring to the display body 8, which limits the transparency of the balustrade panel 7. There are no adverse effects such as smearing, and the design quality is improved.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a display device for a passenger conveyor that is excellent in safety and design.
