Abstract
This application relates to a floor cover of a passenger-conveying device such as an escalator or a moving walkway. The floor cover has a plurality of cover elements and at least one coupling element. The coupling element is positioned between a first cover element and a second cover element. The coupling element has a coupling region configured to couple the first cover element to the second cover element for loading in tension and for angling relative to each other. The coupling element also has a restoring region configured to cause a restoring force between the first cover element and the second cover element as soon as one of the cover elements is raised upward in deviation from a desired configuration. The restoring force is directed in such a way that the raised cover element is acted upon toward the desired configuration.
