Comb Plates & Demarcations
Escalator comb plates are located at the entrance and exit of an escalator, designed to prevent objects or clothing from becoming trapped in the moving steps. It is a series of metal teeth that mesh with the grooves on the edges of the escalator steps, ensuring that the steps remain flat and level as they move up and down the escalator.
Moving walkway comb plates serves a similar function but is designed for use on a flat, moving walkway instead of an inclined escalator. It is typically located at the entrance and exit of the walkway and is also composed of metal teeth that mesh with the grooves on the edges of the walkway.
Both escalator and moving walkway comb plates are important safety features, as they help to prevent accidents and injuries that could occur if loose clothing or objects became trapped in the moving machinery. It is important to always be aware of these devices and to take care when entering or exiting an escalator or moving walkway.
