Device for cleaning grooved surfaces of a moving transport

A device for cleaning grooved surfaces of a moving transport, including escalators and moving walkways, comprising:

• a frame, including a handle pivotally attached to the frame and a rail support pivotally attached to and slidably positionable along a length of the handle, wherein the rail support is configured to abut a base of a pair of railings of the moving transport preventing movement of the device when the handle is in a down position and the rail support is in an extended position;
• a vacuum pump supported within the frame;
• a plurality of vacuum heads associated with the vacuum pump;
• a plurality of brush heads associated with the plurality of vacuum heads;
• and
• a carriage to which at least one of the plurality of vacuum heads and one of the plurality of brush heads are slidably attached.

A device for cleaning grooved surfaces of a moving transport, including escalators and moving walkways, comprising:

• a frame having a fixed width and supporting a vacuum pump and a carriage;
• a plurality of vacuum heads attached to the carriage and associated with the vacuum pump, wherein the plurality of vacuum heads are disposed one in front of another relative to a direction of movement of the moving transport and are coextensive with the fixed width of the frame, wherein a first of the plurality of vacuum heads is slidably attached to the carriage so as be laterally displaceable outside the fixed width of the frame;
• and
• a plurality of brush heads attached to the carriage and each associated with one of the plurality of vacuum heads.
