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.
