Abstract
An apparatus for moving persons, including a support structure (18, 20) a horizontally sliding stage (26) attached to it with a support surface (30), girdled by a continuous upper conveyor belt (36), moveable in parallel to the sliding direction of the stage (26) and with a belt guide for a lower belt (60), set parallel to the conveyor belt (36), where one of the belts (36, 60) can be driven by means of a belt drive, as well as a sliding drive for the stage (26). Here, the lower finite belt (60) is attached at both ends (68, 70) to the support structure (18, 20) and, within the range of the free stage edges, that are perpendicular to the sliding direction of the stage (26), it is guided over a bar (58) that is set parallel to them and connected to the support surface (30). Along part of its course, the lower part (40) of the conveyor belt (36) loops around a drive shaft ( 44) of the belt drive built into the support structure (18, 20).
