<p>A person conveying device (10) comprises an endless web (11) having regularly spaced seats (21-25) on its outside surface for conveying people from the front to the rear of a queue. A moving floor device (60, fig. 2) may be provided adjacent to the device (10). The devices are driven intermittently as the queue advances. A warming signal is given before each movement of the devices. Movement of the device may be prevented if a weighing sensor detects that a seat is occupied by a child. The device is particularly suitable for people with loads, e.g. in a supermarket check-out queue or an airport check-in queue. The moving floor device may incoporate parallel grooves (61, 62, fig.3 not shown) with recesses (64) for receiving and holding the wheels (68) of a luggage or shopping trolley. The grooves may also house elongate magnets (63).</p> |
