Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To ensure the mounting and fixing force of a display element to the treads, and improve the visibility, by pressing and fixing an edge part in a longitudinal direction of the display element to a part of the tread by an edge foot board piece of the shape similar to the surface shape of the foot board. SOLUTION: A traffic passage is formed by an elevator floor 2 connected with a building floor, a comb plate 3, and the treads 4 endlessly movable, and the side walls are formed by the handrails 5 at the both sides of the treads 4 and the rails 6. The display element 7 (foot-shaped mark) which indicates a position where a passenger should stand, is mounted on bottom faces of grooves 4A of one tread, or every several treads. The display element 7 comprises rectangular display pieces 7A along the bottom faces of the grooves 4AA, and the edge tread pieces 4B which are located at the edge parts of the tread 4 of a length L, and have the lengths L1, L2, and the shape similar to the surface shape of the tread 4, are pressed and fixed to a part of the tread 4 by the screws or the like, at the edge in the longitudinal direction of the tread. The treads 4 and the treads 4A are successively exposed to a moving passage at intervals, so that the visibility of the display element can be surely improved even to a weak-sighted person.

視認性の問題があった。In the above-mentioned prior art, a plurality of narrow-width pattern displays are adhered over the tread tops and grooves of a moving tread plate, and a footprint mark or the like represented by the displays is used to determine the position at which the passenger enters. The configuration for performing guidance is displayed. However, in this mounting structure of the display body, there are life problems such as abrasion of the top portion of the tread surface and peeling off of the adhesive portion, and the presence of the display body is unclear with respect to the tread surface. There is a problem of visibility that the pattern looks like a continuous line.

In a passenger conveyor provided with a comb plate fixed to both entrances of a passenger, in the endless treads, one or more treads are provided with patterns such as footprint marks along the bottom surface of the groove of the treads. Since a strip-shaped display body provided with is provided, and a longitudinal end of the display body is pressure-fixed to a part of the tread plate with an end tread piece having a shape similar to the surface shape of the tread plate. is there. According to this configuration, the tread with the display body,
Since the treads without the indicator appear on the moving path one after another, the indicator does not look like a continuous line even for the aged, such as the aged, and the footprint marks themselves follow the bottom of the groove. A long and continuously colored pattern enhances visibility, and the longitudinal end is securely fixed by being joined to a part of the tread with an end tread piece.

性が高まることは確実である。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. In FIG. 1 in which the vicinity of one of the entrances of the passenger conveyor 1 is horizontally projected, a traffic path is formed by the floor 2 of the fixed body connected to the building floor, the comb plate 3, and the end plate 4 that moves endlessly. The handrail 5 and the balustrade 6 constitute a side wall. Further, among the endless treads 4, the bottom of the groove 4AA of the treads 4A of every other one or a plurality of them (in FIG. 4, every other one is shown) is provided with a position where the passenger should stand correctly. The footprint mark pattern shown (Fig. 1,
A display body 7 (showing two people on the left and right in FIG. 4) is provided. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the display body 7 includes a strip-shaped display piece 7A (the display body 7 is an aggregate of the display pieces) along the bottom surface of the groove 4AA, and has a long side. As shown in FIG. 2, the end of the tread 4 has a length L1 and L2 at the end of the tread 4 having a length L as shown in FIG. Thus, it is crimped and fixed to a part of the tread plate 4. Here, since the display piece 7A sequentially appears on the moving path at an interval between the tread 4 and the tread 4A,
The display body does not look like a continuous line even for low-vision people (elderly people, color-blind people), and the footprint marks themselves are long and continuous along the groove bottom, so that the visibility of the pattern is improved. It is certain to increase.

【０００７】なお、上記表示体７は、足型マークの模様
