Handrail for an escalator or moving walk and escalator or moving walk with such a handrail

A handrail for a moving walk that has a fixed guide device and a handrail body that moves along the guide device when in operation, characterized in that:

• the guide device has a form-giving guide section that contains a lip-guide that extends along a longitudinal direction of the guide section;
• a cross section of the guide section changes along a direction parallel to the longitudinal direction;
• the handrail body is strip-shaped and has two edge-lips that extend along two longitudinal edges of the handrail body and are formed in such manner that when the handrail body moves they run in the lip-guide parallel to the longitudinal direction;
• the guide section essentially defining a form of the handrail in a direction parallel to the longitudinal direction and in a cross-sectional plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.

A moving walk having a balustrade, a handrail with a fixed guide device and a handrail body that moves along the guide device when in operation, characterized in that:

• the guide device has a form-giving guide section that contains a lip-guide that extends along a longitudinal direction of the guide section;
• the moving walk has an end area, a middle area and a drive area, and the handrail has a different form in at least two of the end, middle and drive areas;
• the handrail body is strip-shaped and has two edge-lips that extend along two longitudinal edges of the handrail body and are formed in such manner that when the handrail body moves they run in the lip-guide parallel to the longitudinal direction;
• the guide section essentially defining a form of the handrail in a direction parallel to the longitudinal direction and in a cross-sectional plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.
