A film and a method of applying the film to a handrail of an escalator or moving walkway are provided. The film can be a single or double layered film. Printed matter, e.g. advertising, can be applied to or between the films. An apparatus and related method for applying the film are also included and rely on the motion of the handrail to unroll a supply of the film, with one or more rollers pressing the film onto the handrail. The film is stretched during application to prestretch and reduce tendency for compressive strains in use to cause wrinkling of the film and detachment from the handrail. To retain the ends of the film in relative position, a film cap is fused or bonded to end portions of the film.
Cette invention concerne un film et un procédé d'application de film sur une main courante d'escalier ou de trottoir roulants. Le film peut être du type à couche unique ou à double couche. Un matériau imprimé, à caractère publicitaire par exemple, peut être appliqué sur le film ou entre les couches du film. L'invention concerne également un dispositif et une méthode connexe d'application du fil,, qui exploitent le mouvement de la main courante pour dérouler le film et le laquer sur la main courante au moyen d'un ou de plusieurs galets. Le film est pré-étiré pendant son application, ce qui atténue la tendance par suite d'efforts pendant l'utilisation à faire se plisser le film ou à se détacher de la main courante. Les extrémités du film sont soudées ou collées ce qui les maintient en place.
