Abstract
The cover arrangement for covering the balustrade sill or base of a transportion apparatus, such as an escalator of moving walkway equipped with a self-supporting vertically disposed balustrade carrier is elastically fixed to the bottom or sub-structure of the balustrade sill or base by means of pairwise arranged, self-adhesive interlocking strips or bands. For this type of fixing, neither screws or bolts nor welding work is required to be performed upon the cover arrangement, so that no screw or bolt heads are visible and there can be used for the covers or panels of the cover arrangement, without any additional expenditure, the most varied materials and surface properties. Each of the cover arrangements, which are divided into an inner cover or panel and an outer cover or panel, can have their individual covers or panels removed, for maintenance purposes or otherwise, independently of the other cover arrangements and their covers or panels without the use of special tools and can be just as easily re-mounted.
