Abstract

In an escalator or moving walkway one comb plate, which mounts comb segments on which teeth which mesh with grooves in escalator steps or moving walkway panels are configured, is in each case provided at the entry and exit. On the comb segments, a safety installation having a predetermined size extends transversely to the running direction of the escalator or the moving walkway. The safety installation is mounted at the transition between the comb plate and the comb segments, and movements of the comb plate and/or of the comb segments are detectable via the safety installation.

Abstract

The invention relates to an escalator or moving walkway having a comb plate (12) in each case at the entry and the exit which supports comb segments (14) on which teeth (16) are formed which mesh with grooves in escalator steps or in moving walkway plates. A security device of predetermined strength extends transversely with respect to the operating direction of the escalator or of the moving walkway on the comb segments. The security device (30) is mounted at the junction between comb plate (12) and comb segments (14) and movements of the comb plate (12) and/or the comb segments (14) can be detected by means of the security device (30).

Abstract

The invention relates to an escalator or moving walkway having a circulating step belt or panel belt, each step or panel having, on each side, a respective supporting roller and a chain roller, which are guided on supporting-roller rails and chain-roller rails in the forward strand and in the return strand. The supporting-roller return rails (26) support only part of the supporting roller (14).
