Abstract (en)

A dual path moving walkway has recirculating pallets or treadplates which are releasably latched at their outer sides during movement in the passenger-carrying areas between the ends of the walkway. At the ends, the latches are released. The latch means has, on one pallet, a pair of pivotal arms (13) which carry a wheeled axle (15) and on the adjacent pallet a recess (8) to engage the axle (15). In the passenger-carrying area a transport rail (12) retains the axle (15) in said recess (8); at the end of the carrying area the rail (12) terminates and the axle (15) drops out of engagement, thus releasing the outer side of adjacent pallets.
