[Operation] Since the assembling accuracy for obtaining the straightness of the steps can be obtained by the mounting accuracy of the members having the guide surfaces in the left and right directions, the dimensional control in a narrow width and the mounting accuracy are good, and the spacing is wide as in the past. In addition, the difficulty of assembling accuracy obtained by accumulating the accuracy of many assembling parts is eliminated, and the assembling work efficiency is significantly improved. In addition, the vertical guide surface and the horizontal guide surface are not continuous, and foreign matter that has entered the vertical guide surface falls without staying, which deteriorates riding comfort due to vibration, and component parts caused by foreign matter entering. It is possible to eliminate the shortening of the life of the.

As described above, according to the present invention, the vertical guide surfaces are provided, and the facing distance is set to be slightly smaller than the width of the front wheel or the rear wheel on the outer upper part of at least one of the left and right parts. Since a wide member is provided in the left and right to form the guide surface in the left and right direction, the guide accuracy in the left and right direction to obtain the straightness of the step can be secured by mounting a single member, and the assembly work becomes easy. Thus, it is possible to provide a guide rail for an escalator that significantly improves work efficiency and eliminates the occurrence of vibrations due to the retention of foreign matter or the like entering from the outside to improve ride comfort.
