Abstract
An escalator step includes: a tread that includes a body section wherein a plurality of convex sections, which are parallel in a travelling direction, are arranged in a width direction; a riser that is coupled at a rear end portion of the body section of the tread and on which a plurality of convex sections are arranged in a width direction, with troughs being formed between adjacent convex sections; and a shock absorbing cleat located in a notch formed in a corner portion where the riser and the tread are coupled together. On the shock absorbing cleat, a plurality of convex sections, arranged in a width direction and parallel to the travelling direction, rear end surfaces are flush with troughs of the riser, each of the convex sections of the shock absorbing cleat is shifted a half pitch from each of the convex sections of the riser.
