Abstract
A tread element for a conveyor such as an escalator or moving sidewalk has a tread plate and at least one border strip. First and second abutment arrangement for the strip are provided, and include a first groove element and a tongue element on mating portions of the tread plate and strip. Interacting stop surfaces of the abutment arrangements on the plate and strip prevent relative movement in the direction of mounting, while one of the abutment arrangements provides a locking arrangement between the tread element and strip.
