Abstract: Indicating apparatus for passenger conveyor includes an indicating body arranged near a platform of the conveyor and outside a balustrade panel. The indicating body is located and secured at a position where the upper edge thereof is downwardly apart from a frame which is mounted on the upper edge of the balustrade panel for supporting a moving handrail.

Abstract: A passenger conveyor has a pair of balustrades on opposite sides of a plurality of steps connected together to circulate endlessly. Each of the balustrades comprises a structural support member mounted on a main body frame in spaced relation in the length direction of the main body frame. The structural support members each are made of a casing of one piece and have a U-shaped support portion supporting a lower end portion of the balustrade, a mounting flange portion projecting horizontally from one side of the U-shaped support portion, being mounted by the main body frame and mounting thereon an outer deck cover, a mounting projection horizontally projecting from the opposite side of the U-shaped support portion and mounting thereon an inner deck cover and skirt guard, and a pair of downward projections which serve to reinforce the U-shaped support portion as well as connection of a handrail guide for holding a handrail.

Abstract: A main frame of a passenger conveyor has a plurality of frame sections divided along the length thereof. Each adjacent pair of frame sections have opposed joint members provided at joint portions of the frame sections. When the frame sections are provisionally assembled, one of the joint members is formed therein with a positioning hole whereas the other joint member is fixedly connected with a positioning pin which, when the frame sections are re-assembled at an installation site, is engaged with the positioning hole to facilitate easy and quick re-assembly of the frame sections.
