Abstract

The balustrade of an escalator or moving walkway is mounted on a conveyor truss via a plurality of anchor brackets which are welded to the truss at spaced apart locations thereon. Template brackets are secured to each anchor bracket to define the location of the balustrade clamps. The balustrade clamps employ a pivoting wedging action to lock the balustrade in place in its support channel. The assembly can be easily erected in the field and readily serviced.
