Device forming a moving handrail for an accelerated moving walkway

摘要

The present invention relates to a device forming a moving handrail for an accelerated moving walkway. The device including a rail which carries backing carriages and which converges towards the rail carrying the carriages that support the handrail handholds in a zone situated between the divergence zone and the turn-around zone; in at least the divergence zone, said rail follows a cam outline having an oscillatory profile in which the length of each wave is equal to the distance between a first one and a third one of the consecutive backing carriages, each placed at a respective end of the wave that they flank.
