することが考えられている。2. Description of the Related Art As a handrail 2 used for a so-called curved escalator in which a guide rail 1 is spirally curved as shown in FIG. It is common with the structure of the handrail used for a normal linear escalator in that the decorative rubber layer is provided on the core body made of a C-shaped canvas layer, but it is further separated from the curved guide rail 1. In order to make it possible to move stably without the guide rail 1, a soft material is used for the reinforcing material of the core body to accommodate the curved shape of the guide rail 1.
Alternatively, it is considered to be made of a special material such as glass fiber or plastic.

アップするという難点がある。The above-mentioned conventional handrail 2 for an escalator has the following problems. That is, if the reinforcing material of the core body is made of a soft material, the mechanical strength of the handrail may decrease, and if a special material such as glass fiber is used for the reinforcing material, the cost will increase considerably. is there.

曲げ応力を受けることからスムースな曲線移動が困難で
ある。By the way, conventionally, a band-shaped reinforcing material such as a steel tape is sometimes used in a handrail for a linear escalator in order to increase the mechanical strength of the reinforcing material of the core body. When it is used for the handrail 2 for curved escalator in the same form as applied, smooth curved movement is difficult because the strip-shaped reinforcing member receives bending stress in the width direction by the curved guide rail 1.

同様な不都合が生じると考えられる。[0006] Therefore, for example, in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 59-71262.
As shown in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. JP-A-2003-264, even if the handrail for a curved escalator is configured such that the warp threads of the canvas layer of the core body are densely arranged in the widthwise central portion and sparsely in the widthwise edge portion, It is considered that the same inconvenience as described above will occur as long as the strip-shaped reinforcing material is used as the reinforcing material in the same manner as in the case of the handrail for the linear escalator.

とを目的とする。The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional difficulties, without changing the material of each part,
That is, it is an object of the present invention to provide an escalator handrail configured so that it can be smoothly curvedly moved along a curved guide rail without lowering mechanical strength or increasing cost.

ことを特徴とする。According to the first aspect of the present invention,
A handrail for an escalator comprising a core body having a belt-shaped reinforcing member inside and laminated with a canvas so as to have a substantially C-shaped cross section, and a decorative rubber layer provided on the core body,
The strip-shaped reinforcing material is arranged so as to be inclined with respect to the bottom surface of the core body.

りがよりスムースに行われる。In the handrail for an escalator according to the present invention, since the strip-shaped reinforcing material is arranged so as to be inclined with respect to the bottom surface of the core body, the bending resistance in the width direction of the strip-shaped reinforcing material is small when the vehicle travels on a curved road, and therefore, the curve is reduced. You can move smoothly along the guide rails. Further, since the cushion layer is provided below the strip-shaped reinforcing material, the bending of the strip-shaped reinforcing material in the width direction is performed more smoothly.

In the figure, reference numeral 10 denotes a core body having a substantially C-shaped cross section, and 11 denotes a decorative rubber layer provided on the outer surface of the core body. Core 10
Is formed by stacking a plurality of canvases 12 and embedding a band-shaped reinforcing material 13 such as steel tape in the middle part. The strip-shaped reinforcing member 13 in the canvas layer is arranged so as to be inclined with respect to the bottom surface of the core body 10 at an appropriate angle.

クッション層となる。A rubber plate 14 having a substantially triangular cross section is arranged on each of the upper and lower surfaces of the strip-shaped reinforcing material 13 or on one of the two surfaces so that the strip-shaped reinforcing material 13 can always maintain a constant inclined state. . The rubber plate 14 may be formed of sponge rubber, and serves as a cushion layer for facilitating bending of the strip-shaped reinforcing material 13 when the strip-shaped reinforcing material 13 is bent in the width direction.

易に曲がるようになる。With this configuration, when the handrail is used for curved escalation and the handrail is bent in the width direction along the guide rail, the strip-shaped reinforcing member 13 can be easily bent in the width direction.

易に曲がる。FIG. 2 is a view showing another embodiment of the present invention, which is another example when the strip-shaped reinforcing member 13 in the core body 10 is arranged at an inclination. The same parts as those in FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof will be omitted. In this embodiment, the plurality of canvases 12 are divided into the right and left in the width direction with the strip-shaped reinforcing member 13 as a boundary, so that the strip-shaped reinforcing member 13 can be inclined without interposing a rubber plate as shown in FIG. It is configured in. Even with this structure, when the handrail is bent in the width direction, the strip-shaped reinforcing member 13 is easily bent in the width direction.

Since the strip-shaped reinforcing member is inclined with respect to the bottom surface of the core body, bending resistance in the width direction of the strip-shaped reinforcing member is small when the escalator runs on a curved line, and the escalator can smoothly move along the curved guide rail. Further, according to the present invention, since no special material is used, a large increase in cost can be prevented. Further, when a cushion layer such as a sponge rubber plate is provided below the strip-shaped reinforcing material, the strip-shaped reinforcing material bends in the width direction well, and therefore can move more smoothly along the curved rail.
