ABSTRACT:
A guard device (1) comprising a deflector (8) for guarding the gap between an escalator step and an escalator side wall. The guard device (1) comprises an elongate body portion (2) having an elongate recess (4) adapted to receive a base of a deflector (8) with some play. A mouth (6) of the recess (4) is sufficiently wide to allow the base of the deflector (8) to be inserted through it into the recess (4). An elongate wedging element (10) is adapted to be slid into an end of the recess (4) between the end of the deflector (8) and a side wall of the body portion (2), thereby taking up the said play and retaining the deflector (8) in the body portion (2).
