• and
• a footboard lifting and lowering drive means for lifting and lowering the footboard;
• and
• wherein said footboard lifting and lowering guide means includes a pair of support members each having one end perpendicularly fixed to a vertical column of the main frame and parallely extending from both sides of each footboard at a spaced-apart position;
• a pair of guide rails each having one end fixed to an end portion of the support members and extending from an upper portion to a floor surface of the lobby floor;
• a guide roller rotatably installed at a predetermined portion of both sides of the footboard;
• and a roller support member perpendicularly installed at a predetermined portion of both sides of the footboard for rotatably supporting the guide roller.
