In the interval P, there is provided a display portion 6B displaying a warning character (for example, “no walking”) or an advertisement with a width W3 narrower than the width of the direction display mark 6A (width W2).

[0030] Here, the roller body (corresponding to reference numeral 10) that is in contact with the surface of the handrail belt 5 in the return path of the handrail belt 5 is conventionally made of an insulating and non-conductive synthetic resin material. In addition, the roller body is charged with static electricity due to friction with the handrail belt 5 and the print sheet 6, so that dust floating around the roller body is collected and transferred to the surface of the print sheet 6. Belt 5 or printed sheet 6 was soiled. If the roller body is simply changed from a synthetic resin material to a conductive metal, if metal particles floating around the roller body adhere to the conductive metal roller, a battery phenomenon occurs due to the difference in metal. There is a concern of corroding this roller body. Therefore, as a desirable mode, the configuration shown in FIG. 5 of the present invention is that the roller body 10, the bearing 10A and the shaft 10B of the roller body are each made of a conductive material, and a non-conductive thin film is formed on the surface of the roller body 10. 10AA is present. In general, the roller body 10 is formed by an aluminum alloy and the thin film 10AA is formed by anodizing.

[0031] Since the roller body 10, the bearing 10A, and the shaft 10B are made of conductive material in this way, when static electricity is generated due to friction between the roller body 10 and the handrail belt 5, the static electricity is transferred to the bearing 1 By preventing the electrostatic charge by grounding the main frame 3 that supports them (not shown) via the OA and shaft 10B, the printing sheet 6 is prevented from being stained. Also, additional In addition, since the non-conductive thin film 10AA is provided on the surface of the roller body 10, the contact between the roller body 10 and other metal particles floating is prevented, so that the roller body 10 can be prevented from being corroded. The adverse effect on the printed sheet 6 can be prevented.

Here, the details of the printed sheet 6 are formed by a laminate layer on the surface in addition to an adhesive layer to the handrail belt 5 and a sheet layer on which printing is performed.

[0033] As described above, according to the present embodiment, the moving direction of the handrail belt 5 is displayed in an easy-to-see manner, so that it is possible to prevent a fall accident or reverse riding on the escalator, and the static electricity of the printing sheet 6 can be prevented. It is possible to prevent the contamination caused by

[0034] (Second embodiment)

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the escalator and its handrail belt according to the present invention will be described based on the escalator shown in FIGS.

[0035] A general escalator 1 includes a main frame 3 mounted on an upper floor 2A and a lower floor 2B, a number of steps 4 connected endlessly and moving in an inverted manner from an outward path to a return path, Synchronized with this step 4, forward force is reversed and moved toward the return route, and its cross-sectional shape is a flat part 5A and a semicircular part 5B on both edges connected to this, and a handrail belt 5 having a substantially C-shaped cross section W1 Along the longitudinal direction of the handrail belt 5, the flat portion 5A (width W2) force is also applied to the semicircular portion 5B, and is adhered and fixed (not shown) so as to cover almost the entire outer peripheral surface. Sheet 6 is provided.

[0036] The handrail belt 5 is frictionally driven by the power transmitted to the drive roller 9 or the like via the chain 8 through the power of the drive gear 7. The guide roller body 10 on the return path and the balustrade 11 on the forward path It is guided and turned around by the reversing parts 11A and 11B.

[0037] Further, the printed sheet 6 is affixed to the entire length of the handrail belt 5, and the direction indication mark 6A for indicating the moving direction is provided on the surface layer so that the flat portion 5A has a width W2V, It is provided by printing with a width greater than or equal to that, but at least one interval P (Fig. 8) exists in the semicircular range H (Fig. 6, Fig. 7) of the reversal part of the handrail belt 5 The direction indicator mark 6A, which is one in the range of the symbol H that is always in front of the escalator 1 when the user (passenger) who is currently in the escalator 1 sees the escalator 1, feels the speed and direction of movement. It is effective in appealing to the visual sense. Caro The direction indication mark 6A is different in color from the ground color of the printing sheet 6 (for example, yellow), and the mark is not limited to the rhombus illustrated in the drawing, and there is no inconvenience even with a large arrow or oval mark. Further, in the interval P, there is provided a display section 6B displaying a warning character (for example, “no walking”) or an advertisement with a width W3 narrower than the width of the direction display mark 6A (width W2).

Here, the roller body 10 that is in contact with the surface of the handrail belt 5 in the return path of the handrail belt 5 is conventionally made of an insulating and non-conductive synthetic resin material. Since the roller body is charged with static electricity due to friction with the print sheet 6, dust floating around the roller body is collected and transferred to the surface of the print sheet 6.

[0069] The general escalator 1 includes a main frame 3 mounted on the upper floor 2A and the lower floor 2B, a number of steps 4 connected endlessly and moving in an inverted manner from the forward path to the return path, Synchronized with this step 4, forward force is reversed and moved toward the return path, and its cross-sectional shape is a flat surface part 5A and both edge parts 5B on both sides connected to this, and a handrail with a width W1 in which the cross-section is substantially C-shaped. A belt 5 and a long sheet 6 are provided along the longitudinal direction of the handrail belt 5 and bonded and fixed (not shown) from the surface flat portion 5A to both edge portions 5B. The long sheet 6 is usually fixed and bonded with a length of several meters even if one long sheet is divided with respect to the entire length of the handrail belt 5.

[0070] The handrail belt 5 is frictionally driven by the power transmitted to the drive roller 9 and the like via the chain 8 through the power of the drive gear 7, and is provided in the guide roller 10 on the return path and on the balustrade 11 on the forward path. The reversing parts 11A and 11B are folded and moved.

[0071] In addition, the long sheet 6 is affixed to the entire length of the handrail belt 5, and a direction indication mark portion 6A for displaying the moving direction is printed on the surface layer with a width W2 on the surface flat portion 5A so as to be easily noticeable. Is provided by. A plurality of direction indication mark portions 6A are arranged with a spacing Pa of at least one in the semicircular range H (FIG. 27, FIG. 28) of the inverted portion of the handrail belt 5. The user (passenger) who is now on board visibly sees the sensation of speed and direction of movement by the direction indication mark part 6A, which exists in the range of the sign H that is in front when looking at the escalator 1. It exerts the action. Furthermore, the direction indication mark portion 6A is different in color from the ground color of the long sheet 6 (for example, yellow), and the mark is not limited to the rhombus illustrated in the figure, but may be a large arrow, triangle mark, oval mark, etc. There is no inconvenience. Further, the interval Pa is appropriately set as necessary.

Further, the size of the width m is not particularly limited within the range in which the above effect is obtained, but it is 5 mm or more (usually 50 mm or less, more preferably 5 to 40 mm, still more preferably 5 to 30 mm, still more preferably 10 to 30 mm, Particularly preferably, the thickness is 10 to 25 mm. If the width m is 5 mm, the effect of preventing or at least suppressing the sticking edge from being peeled off with a finger is particularly easily obtained.

[0074] The similar color tone, when it is a chromatic color, is the same hue in the hue circle in the Munsell color system or the like. For example, when colors are classified into 10 colors of red, orange, yellow, yellowish green, green, blue-green, blue, blue-violet, purple, and magenta, the ranges included in these colors are similar tones. In addition, when the color is achromatic, when it is classified into two colors, black and gray, the range included in each of these colors will be similar tones.

It is good. Furthermore, the long sheet 6 A character or pattern for promoting the safe use of commercial advertising parts or escalators may be printed between the direction mark part 6A and the direction mark 6A.

[0076] (Eighth embodiment)

[0077] The general escalator 1 includes a main frame 3 mounted on the upper floor 2A and the lower floor 2B, a number of steps 4 connected endlessly and moving in an inverted manner from the forward path to the return path, Synchronized with this step 4, forward force is reversed and moved toward the return path, and its cross-sectional shape is a flat surface part 5A and both edge parts 5B on both sides connected to this, and a handrail with a width W1 in which the cross-section is substantially C-shaped. A belt 5 and a short print sheet 6 are provided along the longitudinal direction of the handrail belt 5 and bonded and fixed (not shown) from the surface flat portion 5A to both edge portions 5B. This printing sheet 6 is usually bonded and fixed in a state of being divided with respect to the entire length of the handrail belt 5.

[0078] The handrail belt 5 is frictionally driven by the power transmitted to the drive roller 9 or the like via the chain 8 through the power of the drive gear 7. The reversing portions 11A and 11B are folded and moved.

[0079] Further, the short printed sheet 6BS (Figs. 33 and 34) has a length L of about 100 to 300 mm and is affixed to the entire length of the handrail belt 5 at an appropriate interval, and the surface layer has a moving direction. Direction indication mark portion 6A force for display The surface flat portion 5A is provided by printing with a width W2 so as to be easily noticeable. The printing sheet 6BS having the direction indication mark portion 6A has a pasting interval Pa (Fig. 33) that exists at least one in the semicircular range H (Fig. 31, Fig. 32) of the inverted portion of the handrail belt 5. A number of direction indication marks 6A exist within the range of the symbol H that is in front of the escalator 1 when the user (passenger) who is going to board is looking at the escalator 1. It works to ensure that the sense of speed and direction of movement are visually appealed. Furthermore, the direction indication mark portion 6A is different in color from the ground color of the short sheet 6BS (for example, yellow), and the mark is not limited to the rhombus illustrated in the figure, and there is no problem even with a large arrow, triangle mark, oval mark, etc. Absent. In addition, the pasting interval Pa is appropriately set as necessary. [0080] Further, the printed sheet 6BS according to the present invention has a width m on the peripheral edge of the printed sheet 6BS (located on the surface flat portion 5A and both edge portions 5B of the handrail belt 5 shown in Fig. 34). A colored border 6BX printed in a color similar to the surface color of the belt 5 is provided. In other words, the print sheet 6BS shown in the upper side of Fig. 34 is configured to be affixed to the handrail belt 5 as indicated by the dotted arrows. The edge is hidden and the edge is prevented from being tampered with.

[0081] A printing sheet (short sheet) 6BS is not affixed on the surface of the handrail belt 5 as described above. The direction indication mark part 6A can be given by stacking and pasting on the. For example, the direction indication mark portion 6A in the long sheet 6 in FIG. 4 can be supplemented with the short sheet 6BS. In this case, the colored edge 6BX of the short sheet 6BS has the same color tone as the surface color of the handrail belt 5 when the plain part of the long sheet 6 immediately below is colorless and transparent, When it has a ground color, it is preferable that the color tone is similar to this ground color.

[0082] Further, the direction display mark portion 6A is supplemented with a short sheet 6BS, and advertisements such as commercial advertisements (products, guides in buildings, etc.) are printed on the surface as shown in FIG. A short sheet having part 6BB can also be used in combination. Compared to the short sheet having the direction indication mark part 6A, the short sheet having the advertisement display part 6BB often needs to be replaced in a relatively short period of time (including the layered extension). Since the short sheet having 6A and the short sheet having the advertisement display section 6BB are separate sheets, it is possible to prevent unnecessary replacement and make repair easier.

Here, the details of the print sheet 6 are formed by an adhesive layer, a sheet layer to be printed, and a surface laminate layer.

[0084] As described above, according to the present embodiment, the moving direction of the handrail belt 5 is displayed from the front of the escalator so that it can be easily seen, thereby preventing a fall accident on the escalator, preventing reverse riding, etc., and improving service. Can contribute. In addition to the above explanation, the direction indication mark part is added to the edge 5B of the handrail belt 5 so that the moving direction and moving speed can be visually recognized even by the lateral force around the escalator. It is good. Further, within the interval of the print sheet 6, that is, between the direction indicator mark 6A and the direction indicator mark 6A, A separate print sheet may be provided on which characters and patterns that promote the safe use of escalators are printed.

[0085] One or two or more of the items described in each embodiment shown in the first to eighth embodiments can be appropriately combined (aspect). In the case of this combined configuration (mode), it is possible to provide a combination of each function and effect of each technical matter, which is very useful.

Although the above embodiment has been described by taking a general escalator as an example, it can be applied as it is to an escalator commonly called a moving sidewalk having no steps between adjacent steps.
