Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To resolve trouble such as wear of a patterned tread and cope with pattern display at a low cost by providing a process of forming a pattern display part with a pattern such as a foot mark put on the surface of tread material, and applying the irregularity machining to the tread material with the pattern display part after this process to form grooves. SOLUTION: In the state of tread material 4A before the irregularity machining is applied, a pattern face of a foot mark is displayed on a pattern display part 7 by an automatic machine in a low-cost printing or baking process, and after this manufacturing process, unidirectional narrow and long grooves 4B are formed in a irregularity machining process. With such a display method adopted, the pattern display part 7 has narrow and long continuous pattern displayed only on the inner surface (a vertical side part 4a and a lower face part 4b) of the groove 4B by the machine in the printing or baking process in the plate state of the tread material 4A, and irregularity is formed in an after-process. The problem of normal technique can therefore be eliminated, and pattern display can be coped with at a low cost.

In FIG. 1 in which the vicinity of one of the entrances of the passenger conveyor 1 is horizontally projected, an access floor is formed by an entrance / exit floor 2, a comb tooth 3, and a large number of treads 4 connected to the building floor, and handrails 5 on both sides of the treads 4 are formed. The balustrade 6 constitutes a side wall.
Further, on the inner surface portion of the tread plate 4 where a plurality of elongated grooves 4B are formed in one direction by processing the unevenness of the tread plate 4, the footprint mark pattern (see FIG. Indicate left and right portions of the pattern). Then, the pattern display section 7 is shown in FIGS.
As shown by the mesh 7a and the thick line 7b, the footprint mark is provided in the vertical part 4a and the bottom part 4b of the groove 4B formed by embossing the tread plate material 4A such as stainless steel having a plate thickness t to express the footprint color. ing. Furthermore, the pattern display section 7 automatically changes the pattern surface of the footprint mark as shown by a mesh 7A in FIG. 4 in the state of the tread plate material 4A before the uneven processing as shown in FIG. A display method is used in which the display is performed by a low-cost printing or baking process using a machine, and a one-way elongated groove 4B is formed by a concavo-convex processing process as shown in FIG. Here, in the state of FIG. 4, the display of printing or the like is omitted in the state of FIG.
When processed into the state shown in FIG. 3, the color of the material thereof or the tread color different from the color of the pattern display section 7 is applied. In this case, the interval 7B in FIG.
