  In the thing of patent document 1, since the display part is provided in the truss part side surface of the escalator, once it gets on an escalator, a display part cannot be seen, but the decoration effect and advertisement effect with respect to the user of an escalator Cannot be fully utilized. In addition, in this device, it is necessary to provide a lighting device or the like inside the truss part to which the main mechanism part of the escalator is attached. It is expensive and it is practically difficult to apply to an escalator already installed in a building because it requires a large-scale construction.

  In Patent Document 2 or Patent Document 3, a pattern or the like is represented by printing on a balustrade panel or attaching a film. However, the balustrade panel is a functional component that supports the moving hand-rub of the escalator, and has a structure that is firmly fixed to the truss, so it is not easy to replace it. Accordingly, when printing is performed on the balustrade panel, it is difficult to change the pattern according to the season and the event, for example. On the other hand, when a film is applied to the balustrade panel, it is relatively easy to change the pattern, etc., but depending on the material of the film, the gloss and smoothness of the surface may be impaired, or transparency due to deterioration over time. May decrease. In either case of printing or film, the pattern or the like must be flat along the surface of the balustrade panel, so that a sufficient lighting effect cannot always be obtained depending on the illumination from the panel end face. Further, in the configuration in which the display of the pattern or the like is provided on the balustrade panel of the escalator, the escalator user observes the pattern or the like from a close distance of the foot. This makes it difficult for escalator users to see patterns, especially considering that escalator users and patterns are always in a relative movement at a constant speed. It is inconvenient to transmit such as.

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a plurality of support columns disposed in parallel with the railing on a deck outside the balustrade such as an escalator, a holding frame disposed between the support columns, and the support column and the holding frame.

This is a display device such as an escalator.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the first or second aspect, the light source facing one of the plurality of panels held adjacent to each other and the light source facing the other are set to emit different colors. It is a display device such as an escalator.

  In the present invention, on the deck outside the balustrade such as an escalator, the ends are held by a plurality of columns arranged in parallel with the railing, the holding frame arranged between the columns, and the column and the holding frame. As a basic configuration of a translucent panel, a plurality of LEDs are arranged between the holding frame and / or the column and the panel end facing the panel in a direction facing the panel end. It is characterized by the point of interposing the light source.

  Among the basic configurations, except for the strip-shaped light source, existing parts designed as fences provided to prevent the balustrade from climbing over or falling to the blow-off part, etc. in escalators, etc., without requiring significant changes It is possible to use. In addition, since the present invention is configured on a deck outside the balustrade such as an escalator, it is not necessary to modify or incorporate the main structural portion such as the escalator such as a balustrade or a truss. Therefore, the display device such as an escalator according to the present invention can be implemented in a short time and at a low cost without requiring a large-scale construction even if it is an existing escalator.

  In addition, since the display device according to the present invention is configured on a deck outside the balustrade such as an escalator, only the panel is easily exchanged in a short time without requiring access to a mechanism portion such as an escalator. be able to. Therefore, it is possible to enhance the display effect in stores and the like by exchanging with a desired panel such as a panel formed with a pattern according to the season or an event, a panel formed with advertising information using characters, etc., or guidance information. .

  Further, according to the present invention, the light from the LED disposed in the belt-like light source passes through the inner surface of the panel from the end of the translucent panel and irradiates a pattern or the like formed as a recess on the panel surface. ing. At this time, the light from the LED is diffusely reflected at the edge of the recess that forms the pattern, etc., so that the pattern is bright and stereoscopically viewed by users such as escalators. Even in a situation where the distance and angle with the person changes every moment, the pattern or the like can be easily recognized. In addition, the panel with patterns etc. is located outside the balustrade of the escalator, etc., and is located in a space slightly away from the user of the escalator, etc. Visual recognition is easy even when the patterns are close to each other. For these reasons, according to the present invention, it is possible to cause a user such as an escalator to reliably recognize an advertisement or a guidance display using decorations such as patterns or characters. Since the pattern or the like is formed directly on the panel surface as a concave portion, it does not affect the gloss, smoothness, transparency, etc. of the panel surface.

  In the present invention, the panel includes a plurality of panels that are held adjacent to each other between a pair of support columns, and the holding frame and / or the support columns and the panel end portions facing the holding frames and / or columns. In between, it can be set as the structure which interposed the strip | belt-shaped light source which arrange | positioned several LED in the direction facing a panel edge part for every panel. In this way, different patterns can be given to adjacent panels, and these can be individually illuminated by the corresponding light sources, so a more diverse expression can be achieved and a display with a high degree of attention can be achieved. It becomes possible to do. Furthermore, in addition to this configuration, the light source facing one of the plurality of adjacently held panels and the light source facing the other can be set so as to emit different colors. According to such a setting, a more excellent display effect can be produced based on different color development.

  Moreover, in this invention, it can be set as the structure which gave the mask which blocks | interrupts a visual field to the at least substantially lower half part of the said panel, or at least one substantially lower half part of the several panel hold | maintained adjacently. By doing in this way, since the line of sight to the escalator user from below can be blocked, the user's anxiety or discomfort can be eliminated. Further, in addition to this configuration, the panel surface on the opposite side to the masked surface can be configured to have a pattern or the like having characters such as characters so as to be located in the masked region. . According to such a configuration, since the field of view from the back surface side is blocked by the mask, it is possible to eliminate the unnaturalness that a pattern having characters such as characters and the like can be seen from the back side.

  Furthermore, in this invention, the said support | pillar consists of the support | pillar main-body part fixed on a deck, and the control board which can be attached or detached with respect to the balustrade side end surface of this support | pillar main-body part. The end of the panel can be sandwiched between the two. By adopting such a configuration, it becomes possible to mount or replace the panel more safely and easily by the operation of attaching and detaching the holding plate from the balustrade side such as an escalator.

  Next, several embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In each drawing and each embodiment, portions corresponding to each other are denoted by the same reference numerals. FIGS. 1-9 has shown 1st Embodiment which applied this invention as a display apparatus which served as the fence of the escalator. In the figure, 1 is an escalator truss, 2 is a balustrade, 3 is a moving scrape, 4 is a step, 5 is an inner deck, and 6 is an outer deck (see FIGS. 2 and 3). Reference numeral 11 denotes a support, 21 denotes a holding frame, 31 denotes a panel, and 41 denotes a strip-shaped light source. These constitute the basic configuration of the display device of the escalator according to this embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 2 or FIG. 3, the escalator has a panel-shaped balustrade 2 made of transparent tempered glass provided with a moving hand-rubbing 3 attached on the truss 1. The gap portion between the step 4 and the outer portion of the balustrade 2 are covered with an inner deck 5 and an outer deck 6 made of steel plates, respectively.

  On the outer deck 6, a plurality of support posts 11 are arranged at a predetermined interval in parallel with the balustrade 2 at a position spaced apart from the balustrade 2 by about 200 to 500 mm, for example. As described above, the holding frame 21 is disposed on the outer deck 6, and the panel 31 is held by the support column 11 and the holding frame 21.

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 4, the column 11 is a prism column-shaped column main body that is fixed to the structure portion of the truss by welding, bolt connection, or the like so as to stand on the outer deck 6. Part 12 and an upper holding plate 13 and a lower holding plate 14 that are detachably provided on the end surface of the column main body 12 on the balustrade 2 side. The holding frame 21 has a U-shaped cross-sectional shape opened upward, is positioned between the pair of support pillars 11 on the outer deck 6, and the panel 31 is fitted to the panel 31 from the opened portion. The lower end is fixed on the outer deck 6. The panel 31 includes an upper panel 32 that is curved outward and a flat lower panel 33, each of which is made of a light-transmitting material such as a hard acrylic resin plate or a tempered glass plate.

  As the support column 11 (the support column main body 12), the holding frame 21, the panel 31, and the like, those manufactured as parts constituting an escalator fence can be used. The panel 31 is provided as an existing fence component in which the upper curved surface portion and the lower flat surface portion are integrally formed as a single panel. The upper panel 32 and the lower panel 33 are used as a panel 31.

  4 and 6 show a completed state in which the support column 11, the holding frame 21, and the panel 31 are assembled on the outer deck 6. FIG. The lower panel 33 of the panel 31 is fixed in an upright state on the outer deck 6 by fitting and holding the lower end of the lower panel 33 to the holding frame 12 and holding both ends by the pair of support columns 11. The upper panel 32 of the panel 31 is fixed in such a manner as to be connected to the upper end portion of the lower panel 33 by holding both ends thereof with the pair of support columns 11.

  5 and 6 show details of the fixing structure of the panel 31 and the column 11. Through holes 16 are formed in the upper holding plate 13 and the lower holding plate 14 so as to face the column main body 12, and screw holes 17 are long in the column main body 12 so as to correspond to the through holes 16. A plurality are formed along the direction. For fixing the panel 31, first, the end of the lower panel 33 is sandwiched between the lower holding plate 14 and the opposing end surface portion of the column main body 12, and the bolt 15 passed through the through hole 16 of the lower holding plate 14 is inserted into the column. The lower holding plate 14 is tightened into the corresponding screw hole 17 of the main body 12 and is held by being tightened to the column main body 12. The same applies to the upper panel 32, and the end portion of the upper panel 32 is sandwiched between the upper holding plate 13 and the opposing end surface portion of the column main body 12 facing the upper holding plate 13, and the bolt passed through the through hole 16 of the upper holding plate 13. 15 is tightened in the corresponding screw hole 17 of the column main body 12, and the upper holding plate 13 is tightened to the column main body 12 to be held.

  As described above, only the both ends of the panel 31 (32, 33) may be fixed to the column 11 as described above. However, in order to provide a stronger structure as a fence for preventing getting over, etc. In this case, it is desirable to provide a structure in which the upper and lower panels 32 and 33 are connected to each other and supported between the support columns 11. For this purpose, for example, as shown by imaginary lines in FIG. 1 or FIG. 4, beam members 18 and 19 are provided between the support columns 11 on both sides so as to sandwich the upper and lower panels 32 and 33 from the front and rear. The beam members 18 and 19 are fixed by fasteners (not shown) such as bolts that pass through the panels 32 and 33 and are connected to each other.

  Both ends of the lower panel 33 are held by the column 11 as described above, while the lower ends are held by the holding frame 21 attached on the outer deck 6. As an actual attachment procedure of the lower panel 33, the lower end portion of the lower panel 33 is fitted to the holding frame 21 placed in advance on the outer deck 6 so as to be positioned between the pair of columns 11, and then As described above, the both ends of the panel are tightened between the column main body 12 and the lower holding plate 14.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, a strip-shaped light source 41 is interposed between the lower end portion of the lower panel 33 and the bottom surface of the holding frame 21. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the strip-shaped light source 41 includes a plurality of LEDs 43 arranged on a long and narrow rectangular wiring board 42, and is configured so that the LEDs 43 are simultaneously turned on when connected to a power source (not shown). It is a thing. The substrate 42 has an elongated shape so that the width of the substrate 42 fits in the groove bottom of the holding frame 21. Specifically, when an acrylic resin plate is used as the panel 31, since the thickness is generally about 8 to 12 mm, the substrate 42 may be set to a width corresponding thereto. The mounting interval of the plurality of LEDs 43 is arbitrary. For example, the LEDs 43 are arranged on the substrate 42 at intervals of 10 to 20 mm. This strip-shaped light source 41 can be obtained in a required length corresponding to the length of the lower end portion of the lower panel 33 by connecting a large number of relatively short substrates 42 having several LEDs 43 disposed thereon. It may be.

  The strip-shaped light source 41 is provided on the holding frame 21 so that the LED 43 faces the lower end portion of the lower panel 33 as shown in the figure, so that the light is transmitted through the lower panel 33 when the LED 43 emits light. To plan. In order to protect the belt-like light source 41 and the LED 43, a cushion material (not shown) is interposed between the substrate 42 and the lower end portion of the lower panel 33 or between the substrate 42 and the holding frame 21. Also good.

  And as shown in FIG. 9, the recessed part 51 which comprises a pattern, a character, etc. is formed in the surface of the lower panel 33. As shown in FIG. The shape of the recess 51 is arbitrary, such as a pattern for decoration and characters for advertisement / guidance (see, for example, FIG. 12), and a depth of about 1 to 3 mm is sufficient. Such a recess 51 can be automatically processed by using, for example, an NC router.

  Next, the function and effect of this embodiment will be described. In the said structure, the light from LED43 arrange | positioned at the strip | belt-shaped light source 41 passes the panel inner surface from the lower end part of the translucent lower panel 33, and irradiates the pattern etc. which were formed as the recessed part 51 in the panel surface To do. At this time, as shown in FIG. 9, the light from the LED 43 is irregularly reflected at the edge portion of the concave portion 51 forming the pattern, etc., so that the escalator user can observe the pattern as a bright and three-dimensional shape. Therefore, even in a situation where the distance and angle between the pattern and the user change every moment, the user can easily see the pattern and the like. Further, the panel 33 provided with a pattern or the like is located outside the balustrade 2 of the escalator and is located in a space slightly away from the escalator user. Even if the patterns are close to each other, visual recognition is easy.

  Details of the operational effects will be described based on FIG. 15 in comparison with the prior art. In the figure, E is an escalator, P is a user, M1 is a pattern (star-shaped pattern) provided on the panel 31 according to the embodiment, and M2 is a pattern (cross pattern) provided on the panel surface of the balustrade 2 in the prior art. Each is shown. Moreover, the arrow represents the line of sight when the user P visually recognizes the pattern M1 or M2, the solid line arrow represents the line of sight in the embodiment, and the broken line arrow represents the line of sight in the prior art. The white arrow indicates the moving direction of the escalator E. In the figure, when the patterns M1 and M2 are relatively far from the user P, there is no great difference in the angle of the line of sight with respect to each. However, the pattern M1 is three-dimensionally formed as the concave portion 51 as described above, and the pattern M1 is expressed by irregular reflection at the edge portion that forms the outline, so that the pattern M1 is expressed planarly by printing or sealing. Compared with the pattern M2 of the prior art, the visibility is higher, and thus the degree of recognition and attention from the user P is higher even in a distance. In addition, the patterns M1 and M2 that move relative to the user P of the escalator gradually approach the user P. Even in such a moving state, the high visibility described above. The pattern M1 can be seen more clearly by the user P. Further, in the state where the patterns M1 and M2 are close to the user P, as shown in the figure, the pattern M2 in the prior art moves to the vicinity of the user P's feet. The pattern M2 cannot be viewed correctly unless the user is bent over and looks into it. On the other hand, even if the pattern M1 is in a state of being close to the user P, the pattern M1 passes through a position that is somewhat separated from the side. You can see the pattern M1. In this way, according to this embodiment, it is possible to make the escalator user recognize the advertisement or guidance display using decorations such as patterns or characters.

  In addition, according to this embodiment, with the exception of the strip-shaped light source 41, existing parts designed as fences provided to prevent the balustrade 2 from getting over or to fall into a blow-off portion or the like in the escalator are significantly changed. Since this embodiment is constructed on the deck 6 outside the escalator balustrade 2, the main structural parts of the escalator such as the balustrade 2 and the truss 1 are modified. In addition, since existing escalators are unnecessary, they can be carried out in a short time and at a low cost without requiring extensive construction.

  Furthermore, since the display device according to this embodiment is configured on the deck 6 outside the escalator balustrade 2, only the lower panel 33 can be easily installed in a short time without requiring access to the escalator mechanism. Accordingly, it is possible to enhance the display effect in a store or the like by changing to a desired panel 33 according to the season or the like as needed. In particular, in this embodiment, the column 11 is composed of a column main body 12 fixed on the outer deck 6, and an upper holding plate 13 and a lower part 14 that are detachable from the end surface of the column main body 12 on the balustrade 2 side. Since the end portion of the lower panel 33 is held between the end surface of the column main body portion 12 and the lower holding plate 14, the pattern and the pattern can be changed by attaching and detaching the lower holding plate 14 from the balustrade 2 side of the escalator. There is an advantage that the lower panel 33 formed with the concave portion 51 can be mounted or replaced more safely and easily.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. This embodiment is the same as the first embodiment in the basic configuration in which the fence is formed by the support 11, the holding frame 21, the panel 31, and the like. However, as shown in FIG. 10, the lower panel 33 includes a plurality of panels held adjacent to each other, in this case, two panels 33A and 33B, and the holding frame 21 and the A configuration in which a strip-like light source 41 (see FIG. 11) in which a plurality of rows of LEDs 43A and 43B are arranged for each panel in a direction facing the panel end is provided between the end of each panel 33A and 33B. It is different in that.

  According to this embodiment, the adjacent panels 33A and 33B can be provided with different patterns and the like, and these can be individually illuminated by the corresponding LEDs 43A and 43B. It becomes possible to perform a display with a high degree. Further, in addition to this configuration, the LED 43A facing one adjacent panel 33A and the LED 43B facing the other panel 33B may be set to emit different colors. In this case, the LED 43A and the LED 43B may not only have different colors but also a different color combination. For example, the LED 43A may have a combination of red and white, and the LED 43B may have a combination of green and red. Thus, various color expressions are possible. According to such a setting, a more excellent display effect can be produced based on different color development. FIG. 12 shows a pattern setting example of the panels 33A and 33B. The panel 33A shown in FIG. 12A has a star pattern, and the panel 33B shown in FIG. Are formed by recesses. After the two panels 33A and 33B are provided adjacent to each other, for example, the panel 33A is illuminated with a white LED, and the panel 33B is illuminated with a red LED, respectively. In this state, a star-shaped pattern that shines in white and a ribbon pattern that shines in red are observed to overlap each other, so that the display is vivid and has a high degree of attention.

  FIG. 13 shows another embodiment relating to the lower panel 33 (33A, 33B). The panel 33 in this embodiment has a configuration in which a mask 52 that blocks the field of view is applied to at least a substantially lower half thereof. By providing such a mask 52, it is possible to block the line of sight of the escalator user from below, so that the user's anxiety or discomfort can be eliminated. Such a mask 52 can be formed by painting, printing, a colored sheet, or the like, but it is preferable that the mask 52 be formed of a mat surface having minute irregularities. The mat surface can be formed, for example, by subjecting the surface of the panel 33 to wire brush processing or sand blast processing. The mask 52 made of a matte surface not only blocks the line of sight but also exhibits a beautiful decoration effect by irregularly reflecting the light from the LED due to the minute unevenness.

  (B) of the figure shows, in addition to the configuration provided with the mask 52, a concave portion 51 representing a character so as to be located in the region provided with the mask 52 on the panel surface opposite to the surface provided with the mask 52. Formed. According to this embodiment, since the field of view from the back side is blocked by the mask 52, it is possible to eliminate the unnaturalness that a pattern having front and back surfaces such as characters can be seen from the back side. In the configuration in which two panels 33A and 33B are provided adjacent to each other as shown in FIG. 10, a mask 52 is applied to one of the panels and the surface adjacent to the other, and the surface side of each panel is provided. By providing characters and the like on the both sides of the mask 52, the characters and the like can be expressed without causing visual interference with each other on both sides.

  FIG. 14 shows a third embodiment of the present invention. In the present invention, the place where the belt-like light source 41 is provided is not limited to the holding frame 21 disposed directly on the deck such as the escalator, and may be between the column 11 and the end of the panel 33, or A belt-like light source 41 may be provided on both the holding frame 21 and the column 11 and can be arbitrarily selected according to a desired illumination effect or light amount. For example, in this embodiment, in a configuration in which two panels 33 are held in two upper and lower stages by a pair of support columns 11, a holding frame 22 is provided at an intermediate position corresponding to a connecting portion of each panel 33, and the holding frame 22 is accommodated. The two upper and lower panels 33 are illuminated via the strip-shaped light source 41.

  As described above, in the present invention, the position where the band-shaped light source is provided can be selected. However, for the panel end where the band-shaped light source is not provided, the reflecting surface is provided to increase the illumination efficiency. It is desirable to form so that the light from the LED is reflected at the edge of the panel. Such a reflective surface can be formed of, for example, a plate-like or foil-like aluminum material or copper material.
