ABSTRACT:
The moving handrail of an escalator or moving walkway is guided around the curved newel of the escalator balustrade by a plastic guide system. A metal base member is frictionally fitted onto the outer edge of the glass balustrade. An extruded aluminum profile is mounted in the upper and outer surface of the base. A series of spaced pads formed from a low coefficient of friction plastic are fixed to the profile to form the contact sliding surface for the handrail.
