Abstract
The escalator handrail guide rail assembly includes a metal base which can be snap fitted onto a glass escalator or walkway balustrade. A low friction plastic strip is fitted onto the top of the base for contact with the handrail, and a metal reinforcing piece is snap fitted onto the base over the plastic strip to hold the latter in place, and to reinforce the plastic strip. The reinforcing piece is formed from two identical interleaved strips which can be attached to and detached from the base without the use of any tools more specialized than a rubber mallet and without the use of separate fasteners such as screws, bolts, or the like.
