Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve visibility of a display body by arranging a footprint mark pattern-applied paper strip-shaped display body in the shape of being brought into close contact with the bottom surface and two side surfaces of these groove along the grooves in the display body having a large number of slender grooves in one direction of the surface of treads and a base board in the bottom part of these grooves. SOLUTION: In a passenger conveyor by connecting plural aluminum alloy treads in an endless shape, a footprint mark pattern display body is arranged on the surface of the respective treads. This display body is formed by having paper strip-shaped display pieces 7A along the bottom surface of a large number of almost U-shaped slender grooves 4A arranged in one direction of the surface of the treads having a base board 4C having a plate thickness T. In the respective display pieces 7A, the lenghtwise directional both end parts are fixed to a part of the treads by fastening end part tread pieces 4D, 4E having the length L1 , L2 which have a surface shape similar to the treads and are arranged on both ends of the treads having the length L by a machine screw. According to this, the display area of a footprint mark can be expanded to improve the visibility.

In FIG. 1 in which the vicinity of one of the entrances of the passenger conveyor 1 is horizontally projected, a traffic path is provided with a floor 2 connected to the building floor, comb teeth 3, and a plurality of aluminum alloy tread plates 4 (having a riser 4B on the rear surface). And the tread 4
The handrail 5 and the balustrade 6 on both sides constitute a side wall. Further, on the surface of the tread plate 4, a display body 7 of a footprint mark pattern (two left and right sides are shown in the figure) is provided at a position where the passenger should stand correctly in all or several steps thereof. ing. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the display body 7 has a plurality of strips along the bottom surface of a large number of substantially U-shaped elongated grooves 4A provided in one direction on the surface of the tread plate 4 having a board 4C having a thickness T. A display piece 7A (a display body 7 is an aggregate of the display pieces) is provided, and both ends (front end and rear end) in the longitudinal direction of the display piece 7A have a surface shape similar to that of the tread plate 4 as shown in FIG. Then, the end tread pieces 4D and 4E having the lengths L1 and L2 disposed at both ends of the tread plate 4 having the length L are fixed to a part of the tread plate 4 by tightening with screws (not shown) or the like. ing.
Here, the display piece 7A will be described in detail.
A is a length L3 (L3) obtained by subtracting the lengths L1 and L2 of the end tread pieces 4D and 4E from the length L of the tread plate 4 as shown in FIG.
= L-L1-L2), the bottom 7a, the two sides 7b and 7c, which are in close contact with the bottom surface and the two side surfaces of the substantially U-shaped groove 4A.
The two ends (7d portion in FIG. 4) are fixed by crimping with end tread pieces 4D and 4E, and the three surfaces are respectively formed by adhesive 7B as shown in FIG. Is to be adhered to. The display piece 7A is provided with a groove 4A.
In FIG. 1, the mark is printed or printed (display portion 7AA) on the front surface or the back surface of the mark itself to form a display body 7 of a footprint mark as shown in FIG. Compared to the shredded pieces, three sides (7a, 7
The visibility is enhanced by a wide continuous display according to (b, 7c).
