Abstract:
[Problem] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a safety device that can be installed even on existing escalators and that suitably protects a person falling on an escalator while eliminating the danger of a secondary injury due to the safety device deploying. [Solution] A safety device (10) for an escalator comprises: a detection unit (15) that detects that a person is falling; a capture unit (21) that captures the falling person; a storage unit (20) in which the capture unit is folded and stored; a gas container (101) that is filled with gas; a gas container open unit (17) that opens the gas container; a control unit (13) that controls the opening action of the gas container open unit on the basis of a signal sent from the detection unit; piping (19) by which gas in the gas container flows to the capture unit; and a power source (12) that supplies power to the detection unit, the gas container open unit, and the control unit. The storage unit can be mounted to a side wall of the escalator, and the capture unit deploys from the storage unit by way of the gas contained in the gas container.
