Abstract
The invention relates to a device () for driving a handrail () for an escalator () or for driving a handrail () for a moving walkway, the device comprising a drive belt () guided along a contact zone () and deflected on a deflection roller () after passing through the contact zone (). The handrail () can be guided resting against the drive belt () along the entire contact zone () and can be driven by the drive belt () by means of friction between drive belt () and handrail (). The device () comprises a deflection element (), which deflection element () ensures that a lift-off point () of the handrail () from the drive belt () delimiting the contact zone () is arranged upstream of the deflection region of the drive belt () on the deflection roller (). According to the invention, an escalator () or a moving walkway can be modernized with such a device ().
