Apparatus for Manufacturing Moving Hand-Rail of Passenger Conveyer and Method for Manufacturing Moving Hand-Rail

A method of manufacturing a passenger-conveyor moving handrail, comprising:

• a step of feeding a thermoplastic resin;
• a step of heating the fed thermoplastic resin;
• a step of extrusion-molding the thermoplastic resin having been fluidized;
• and
• a step of forming tooth-marks longitudinally at a regular pitch on a back side of a preformed moving-handrail material, while in a state in a plastically deformable temperature range of the preformed moving-handrail material extrusion-molded from the thermoplastic resin into an approximate form of the moving handrail.

A manufacturing apparatus of a passenger-conveyor moving handrail, comprising:

• a material feed port through which a thermoplastic resin is fed;
• a heater for heating the fed thermoplastic resin;
• a molding machine for extrusion-molding the thermoplastic resin having been fluidized;
• and
• a pressing roller, a guide gear, and an adhesive feeder, for gluing with an adhesive a rack-formed material onto a preformed moving-handrail material extrusion-molded into an approximate form of the moving handrail.
