A flexible guard is provided that can be easily attached to the side skirt of an escalator or other moving walkway or conveyor system, the attachment of the guard occurring either during initial manufacture or during subsequent system modification. The flexible guard minimizes the possibility of side step entrapment without unduly limiting the usable width of the escalator/walkway/conveyor. Additionally, the flexible guard can be mounted close enough to the moving portions of the escalator/walkway/conveyor to minimize the possibility of guard entrapment. The flexible guard includes one or more bristle strips integrated into a flexible base. The base is attached to the escalator/walkway/conveyor using any of a variety of mounting means such as screws, bolts, rivets, etc. One or more light sources can be integrated into the flexible base in order to provide additional illumination of the escalator steps/walkway/conveyor.

Un garde flexible est fourni qui peut être facilement attachée à la jupe latérale d'un escalier mécanique, d'un système de tapis roulant ou d'un convoyeur, la fixation du garde survenant soit pendant la fabrication initiale ou lors de la modification ultérieure du système. Le garde flexible minimise la possibilité que le pied soit piégé de côté, sans limiter indûment la largeur utile de l'escalier mécanique, du système de tapis roulant ou du convoyeur. De plus, le garde flexible peut être monté assez près des parties mobiles de l'escalier mécanique, du système de tapis roulant ou du convoyeur pour minimiser la possibilité que le garde soit piégé. Le garde flexible comprend une ou plusieurs bandes-brosses intégrées sur une base souple. La base est fixée à l'escalier mécanique, au système de tapis roulant ou au convoyeur à l'aide de divers moyens de fixation tels que vis, boulons, rivets, etc. Une ou plusieurs sources lumineuses peuvent être intégrées à la base flexible, afin de fournir un éclairage supplémentaire à l'escalier mécanique, au système de tapis roulant ou au convoyeur.
