Abstract: A balustrade for a passenger conveyor, such as an escalator, comprises a handrail adapted to be moved synchronously with an endless moving stairway. Panels of transparent glass plates are located immediately beneath the handrail. An upper unit is located between upper ends of the panels and a lower surface of the handrail and is adapted to guide the handrail. A lower unit is located at the lower ends of the panels and consists of inner and outer decks. The upper unit is characterised by consisting of a guide frame having a groove for receiving the upper edges of the panels. A fastener for press-tightening the panels is located in the groove. A limiter restricts the tightening force of the fastener and guides are fitted around an outer circumferential surface of the guide frame. The upper unit as a whole is positioned within the handrail. The arrange- ment is an improvement in respect of allowing better illumination of the stairway by ceiling lighting, in respect of safety when used by small children and in respect of improved cleanliness generally.
