ABSTRACT:
A floor cover for use in conjunction with conveying equipment for persons located at an end of an escalator, moving walkway or the like, has one or more cover elements which can be walked on and which flushly close off, relative to the surrounding flooring, the opening of an under-floor space in which operating equipment is typically located. The cover elements can be lifted and laterally displaced to expose the opening for access to the operating equipment. The cover elements are separably joined together at joint locations. A resilient profile member is located at each joint to prevent the generation of noises and to provide a tight seal between the cover elements against penetrating dirt. The cover can be raised, laterally displaced and rotated away from the opening by means of a multi-part hinge. The turned-up cover elements can, with a support device, be retained in a raised position to form an entry barrier for the exposed opening.
