Problems solved by technology

Although this lighting system can be used to achieve better illumination of the space between the guardrails, it is not strong because of the perforations provided on the inner lining of the guardrails facing the strips or step belts, or for the purpose of opening the perforations despite the perforations. but still have sufficient strength, it must be made thick
In addition, the perforated guardrail is easily damaged by man-made
Another disadvantage is that the lighting system has to be installed with great precision, so that great expense has to be paid for installing the illuminants and, if necessary, replacing failed illuminants
In addition, due to the perforation, the cleaning of the guardrail lining is more complicated and troublesome

Embodiment Construction

[0033] The escalator 1 shown in Figures 1 and 2 connects together a first plane E1 and a second plane E2. The escalator 1 has two fixed side rails 2 . Each guardrail has an inner lining 3 which is slightly inclined here and a vertical outer lining 12 . The inner lining 3 essentially consists of a light-transmitting panel part 3.1, in the present example of safety laminated glass. Since the plate 3.1 has no perforations for accommodating illuminants or for passing light, the plate 3.1 is strong even if it is relatively thin. To the extent that it is concealed, the plate 3.1 can have perforations or through-holes for fastening the plate.

[0034] The non-perforated panel 3.1 according to the present invention refers to a panel which has no perforations for the installation of illuminants or for light transmission within the range visible to the naked eye after installation. As mentioned above, the non-perforated plate part 3 . 1 can of course also have perforations or opening...

Abstract

A lighting system for a moving walkway or escalator installation and a moving walkway or escalator installation with a lighting system is disclosed. The moving walkway or escalator installation comprises a plate belt or step belt and a balustrade. The lighting system comprises a light-permeable inner panelling of the balustrade which is formed by one or more mutually adjoining plates free of interruption as well as one or more lighting bodies which are mounted in corresponding sockets. The sockets are fastened in the interior of the balustrade to a mechanical structure. The inner panelling of the balustrade can be illuminated over a whole area by the lighting system.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a lighting system for a moving walkway or escalator installation, and to a moving walkway or escalator installation with a lighting system, said moving walkway or escalator installation having slab or step belts and side guardrails. Background technique [0002] Moving walkways or escalators are actually only used in public areas, especially in public transportation areas, such as railway stations, subway stations, department stores, shopping centers, and large restaurants. Said moving walkway or escalator equipment generally comprises a strip or step belt movable in its longitudinal direction, and side guardrails fixed in position are connected to the side of said strip or step strip, and said guardrail is mostly made of metal Plates (thin metal plates) that are fastened to guardrail posts. On top of each guardrail is provided a handrail that moves with the strip or step strip. [0003] To improve user comfort and avoid acci...
