Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the clothes from being caught by a step by mounting guard panels on both side ends in a step moving direction, of a step face portion. SOLUTION: A step 1 of an escalator is installed for making a passenger stand thereon, the mounting edges 2a, 2b are formed on both side edges in the step moving direction, of a step face portion 2 of the step 1, and the guard panels 6, 7 are mounted on the mounting edges 2a, 2b. When the steps 1 are positioned in the stairs-like condition, the guard panel 7 mounted on the step 1 is moved along an interior ridge at a lower side of the glass. On this occasion, the guard panel 7 corresponding to a conventional skirt guard is mounted at the step 1 side not at a guide rail side, so that the dropping of the bottom of a long skirt worn by the passenger standing on the step 1, between the step 1 and the guard panel 7 can be prevented, and the catching of the bottom of the long skirt by the step 1 can be prevented much less.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a step of a person transfer device which prevents a passenger's clothes or the like from being pulled in when an escalator or the like is used.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional escalator, for example, there is an escalator as shown in FIG. 4, in which steps 101 are connected endlessly by a chain to continuously drive and carry passengers in a moving staircase manner. A handrail 102 for passenger safety is provided on both sides of the step 101, and a skirt guard 103 is attached below the handrail 102.

[0003]

However, in such an escalator, a moving step 10 is required.
1 and the skirt guard 103, there is a gap between the passenger and the long skirt.
There is a problem in that it falls into the gap between the skirt guard 103 and the skirt guard 103, and is eventually pulled and torn off by the moving step 101.

[0004] It is an object of the present invention to prevent clothes or the like of a passenger riding on a moving step from being drawn in by this step.

[0005]

According to the present invention, in order to solve such an object, in a step of a human transfer device including a tread portion and a riser portion, both ends of the tread portion in a step transport direction are provided. With a guard panel attached to the

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 to 3 are views showing one embodiment of the steps of the human transfer device according to the present invention.

In FIG. 1, a step 1 (for example, made of aluminum die cast) of an escalator is for carrying passengers, and is a flat tread 2 having a substantially rectangular overall shape. Integrally formed (otherwise,
And a riser portion 3 having a substantially arc-shaped cross section, and a large number of cleats are formed on the tread portion 2 and the riser portion 3. A chain roller 4 and a roller 5 are rotatably mounted on the front and rear sides of the step 1 in the transport direction. The chain rollers 4 are connected by a chain (not shown), and the chain is rotated by a driving means in a closed loop.

Mounting edges 2a and 2b are formed on both side ends of the step surface 2 of the step 1 in the step transport direction.
Guard panels 6 and 7 are attached to the attachment edges 2a and 2b. The guard panels 6 and 7 are formed such that the upper ends are inclined, the lower ends are formed in a substantially L-shaped cross section, and the lower ends are the mounting ends 6a and 7a. Further, the guard panels 6 and 7 are entirely coated with yellow so as to call attention to passengers. Attachment ends 6a, 7a of guard panels 6, 7
Is fixed to the mounting edges 2a and 2b of the step 1 by bolts, so that the pair of guard panels 6 and 7
At both ends in the step transfer direction.
A demarcation 8 is attached to the front end of the tread portion 2 of the step 1 in the step transport direction.

As shown in FIG. 2, when step 1 is stepped (ink line), guard panel 7 attached to step 1 moves along interior ledge 10 below glass 9. . Here, since the guard panel 7 corresponding to the conventional skirt guard is attached not to the guide rail but to the step 1, the skirt of the long skirt of the passenger riding on the step 1 There is no drop between the guard panel 7 and much less that it gets caught by the step 1.

Next, as the plurality of steps 1 approach the landing plate 11 and the plurality of treads 2 become planar as a whole, the upper end side of the guard panel 7 attached to the steps 1 becomes jagged, For this reason, a space is created between the interior ledge 10 and the upper end side of the guard panel 7. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, a mini skirt panel 12 is provided on the interior ledge 10, and the mini skirt panel 12 covers the space. A brush 13 is attached to the tip of the mini skirt panel 12. As described above, since the mini skirt panel 12 is provided in the interior ledge 10, the skirt of the long skirt of the passenger riding in Step 1 enters the space between the interior ledge 10 and the guard panel 7, and is drawn in. There is no such thing. Although the mini skirt panel 12 on the upper side is shown, it goes without saying that the mini skirt panel is also provided on the lower side.

Although the present invention has been described as applied to an escalator, it is needless to say that the present invention can be applied to a moving sidewalk.

[0012]

As described above, according to the present invention,
Guard panels are attached to both sides of the step tread surface in the step transport direction, so that the skirt of the long skirt of the passenger riding on the step does not fall between the step and the guard panel, much less the step There is no such thing as being lost.
