CANVAS FOR HANDRAIL, MOVING HANDRAIL FOR PASSENGER CONVEYOR, HANDRAIL FOR PASSENGER CONVEYOR, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING HANDRAIL FOR PASSENGER CONVEYOR

摘要

Provided is a handrail canvas capable of reducing the amount of contraction in a width direction during manufacturing of a moving handrail for a passenger conveyor (or a passenger conveyor handrail). The handrail canvas is provided with a base canvas (23) and a sliding canvas (24). The base canvas (23) is woven by a warp thread (25) and a weft thread (26) being used. The sliding canvas (24) is provided on the base canvas (23). The sliding canvas (24) covers a part of a surface of the base canvas (23). The sliding canvas (24) is woven by a warp thread (27) and a weft thread (28) being used. The warp thread (27) is lower than the warp thread (25) in frictional characteristics. The warp thread (27) is more prone to wear than the warp thread (25). The weft thread (28) is lower than the warp thread (25) in thermal contraction rate.
