Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an escalator balustrade, and particularly to a holding plate for a balustrade glass panel.

[Conventional technology]

Generally, escalators are as shown in Figure 2.
A step 11 that rotates continuously between the upper and lower entrances;
It has a parapet 12 with handrails 13 around it, which are arranged upright on both sides and run in synchronization with the steps 11. A parapet glass panel 14 is disposed on the parapet 12, and as a conventional method for installing and fixing this glass panel 14, a method described in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 181775/1983 has been proposed, and the details thereof can be found in Section 3.
This will be explained using figures.

FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the main part of FIG. 2, in which the parapet glass panel 14 is inserted into the groove of the support 15 having a U-shaped groove with the lower part covered by the protector 18, and the inserted portion A glass panel holding plate 16 is brought into contact with the upper surface of the balustrade in order to clamp the balustrade glass panel 14 therebetween. Note that the balustrade glass panel 14 is fixed by means A for pressing and fixing it to the support body 15. This means A is constituted by a screw hole (not shown) provided in the side wall of the support body 15 on the step 11 side that forms the groove, and a screw 17 that is screwed into the screw hole.

According to the escalator balustrade 12 configured as described above, when installing the balustrade glass panel 14, first, the balustrade glass panel 14 whose lower part is covered with the protector 18 is inserted into the groove of the support 15. , insert the glass panel holding plate 16 into the upper surface thereof. Next, the screw 17 is screwed from the outside into the screw hole provided in the side wall forming the groove of the support body 15, and the glass panel press plate 16 is pressed. As a result, the balustrade glass panel 14 is sandwiched and fixed between the side wall of the support 15 forming the groove and the glass panel holding plate 16.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] Since the balustrade 12 of the conventional escalator was constructed as described above, when the balustrade glass panel 14 is installed on a slope, the balustrade inserted into the groove of the support 15 is The glass panel press plate 16 is inserted into the top surface of the glass panel 14, and then the screw 17 is screwed into the screw hole provided in one side wall of the support body 15 to press the glass panel press plate 16. This glass panel holding plate 16 is the support body 15
There was a problem that the product would slip down from the grooves and deteriorate its quality. Furthermore, in order to prevent such accidents, the worker must continue to hold the glass panel presser plate 16, which requires extra effort.

The present invention is intended to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and its purpose is to be able to reliably support the glass panel presser plate on the support body even when installing a parapet glass panel on a slope. Located in providing escalator balustrade.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is characterized in that the glass panel holding plate is provided with a latch for supporting the glass panel to the support body.

[Effect]

Since the escalator balustrade according to the present invention is constructed as described above, even when installing a balustrade glass panel on a slope, the glass panel presser plate inserted into the groove of the support body can be attached to the glass panel presser plate. Since the latching bracket supports the support body, it is possible to prevent the glass panel holding plate from slipping from the groove of the support body as in the conventional case.
It is possible to maintain the quality of the glass panel holding plate and save extra labor.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the main part of the escalator balustrade 12. In the groove of the support 15 having a U-shaped groove, there is a balustrade glass panel 14 whose lower part is covered with a protector 18, and this glass A glass panel pressing plate 16a for pressing the panel 14 is inserted. Two latch fittings 20 are provided on each side of the glass panel press plate 16a, and the latch fittings 20 of the glass panel press plate 16a are attached to the support body 15.
It is arranged so that it can be supported by the side wall on the side of the step 11 forming a groove. Four screw holes are provided in the side wall of the support body 15 on the side of the steps 11, and screws 17 are screwed into the holes, respectively, to secure the balustrade glass panel 1.
4 is pressed and fixed.

Next, a case in which the parapet glass panel 14 is installed on the slope will be described.

First, the glass panel pressing plate 16a is attached and supported in advance to the side wall of the support 15 on the step 11 side, and then the parapet glass panel 14 whose lower part is covered with the protector 18 is attached to the other side of the support 15 that forms the groove. and the attached glass panel holding plate 16a. Subsequently, the screws 17 are respectively screwed into the screw holes provided in one side wall of the support body 15,
Press the glass panel holding plate 16a. As a result, the glass panel pressing plate 16a presses the balustrade glass panel 14, and the glass panel 14 is clamped and fixed in the groove of the support body 15.

In this way, the parapet glass panel 1 in the slope part
Even during the installation work in step 4, since the latch fittings 20 are provided on both sides of the glass panel presser plate 16a, the latch fittings 20 support the side wall of the support body 15 on the step 11 side. The plate 16a does not slip off the support 15.
Therefore, it is possible to prevent damage to the glass panel holding plate 16a and accidents caused by the worker slipping off the glass panel holding plate 16a. Furthermore, since there is no need for the worker to hold the glass panel presser plate 16a, the work process can be reduced.

In the above-described embodiment, the hooks 20 are provided on both sides of the glass panel holding plate 16a, but the hooks 20 are provided only on the side disposed above the escalator.
may be provided.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, in the present invention, the glass panel holding plate is provided with a hook, so even when installing a parapet glass panel on a slope, the glass panel holding plate inserted into the groove of the support can be The latch remains supported on the step-side side wall forming the groove of the support and does not slip off the support.
