A seat system for a moving walkway. The seat system includes multiple seat apparatuses for a moving walkway wherein each seat apparatus includes a seat. The seat system also includes a propulsion system for propelling the seat apparatuses on a passenger side and a return side of a loop track the seat apparatuses travel around. The seat system further includes a frame for supporting the seat system and enclosing the return side for the seats.

A system for braking an escalator or moving walkway includes a handrail and passenger support in registration with one another so as to move together. A braking tensioner selectively increases tension in the handrail during operation. The increased tension serves to frictionally brake the handrail and hence the passenger support. The braking tensioner may be located in any of various locations depending upon system design, and may be driven in any suitable manner, e.g., hydraulically, electrically, electromagnetically, and so on. Frictional wear on the handrail is reduced by the fact that the described braking system spreads the frictional load over a large area of the handrail, e.g., the many locations where the handrail contacts the underlying support throughout its length.

A handrail system for a moving walkway. The handrail includes multiple handgrasp apparatuses for a moving walkway wherein each handgrasp apparatus includes a handgrasp. The handrail system also includes a propulsion system for propelling the handgrasp apparatuses on a passenger side and a return side of a loop track the handgrasp apparatuses travel around. The handrail system further includes a side housing for supporting the handrail system and enclosing the return side for the handgrasps. Another handrail system for use with a moving walkway. This handrail system includes a handrail belt and a driver roller for moving the handrail belt. This handrail system also includes multiple handgrasps driven around a loop track by the handrail belt.

A handrail drive for driving a handrail of a person-transporting device has at least one drive device and at least one counterpressure device. The counterpressure device contains at least one loading device and at least two counterpressure rollers, wherein the handrail can be guided between the drive device and the counterpressure device. The counterpressure rollers load the handrail against the drive device by a pressing force caused by the preloading force of the loading device. At least one flexible pulling element is arranged between the at least one counterpressure roller and the loading device, by which flexible pulling element the preloading force of the loading device can be transferred to the at least one counterpressure roller.
