Abstract: A human transport device such as an escalator or a moving walkway may include tread elements connected into an endless transport belt, a drive unit for driving the transport belt, and a monitoring apparatus for detecting a faulty arrangement of at least one of the tread elements in the transport belt. The tread elements of the driven transport belt may pass through a transport region and a return region between a first return station and a second return station. The monitoring apparatus may have a detection means and a triggering unit. The detection means may be arranged in a direction of a longitudinal extension of the human transport device below the tread elements of the transport region between the first and second return stations. The detection means may be connected to the triggering unit, and the triggering unit may actuate upon mechanical influence on the detection means.

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.
