    2727279663086px; text-indent: 0px; box-sizing: border-box !im<em></em>portant; word-wrap: break-word !im<em></em>portant;">According to relevant regulations, the horizontal gap between the apron board and the steps and pedals should not be greater than 4mm, and the child’s fingers are 7~8mm thick and the arms are thicker.


    The apron board is still in the gap and the steps are moving.
    It will generate momentum to bring the child's fingers or even arms into the gap.

    2727279663086px; text-indent: 0px; box-sizing: border-box !im<em></em>portant; word-wrap: break-word !im<em></em>portant;">Children have small fingers and poor balance.
    Once they fall on the escalator, they can easily cause injuries.

    2727279663086px; text-indent: 0px; box-sizing: border-box !im<em></em>portant; word-wrap: break-word !im<em></em>portant;">More than a dozen black rubber bands are wrapped around the entrance of the handrail groove, and they are connected to the button under the escalator.
    When the child's hand reaches into the rubber band, the connected button is touched, so the escalator will stop immediately.
    The escalator has an automatic protection function, and it will automatically stop when it encounters an obstruction.
    However, there is a value for the resistance when encountering obstacles, and the protection function will only respond when this value is reached.
