Abstract

The handrail guide rail has a base part which is preferably extruded metal, and can be rectilinear or curvilinear. The base telescopes over the top of the escalator balustrade which is a relatively thin glass or metal component of the escalator. Spring clamps are trapped between the balustrade and the guide rail base to clamp the base onto the balustrade.
