Abstract (en)

The present invention refers to an anti-entrapment safety system for a passenger moving system comprising preferably a first endless handrail belt and preferably a second endless handrail belt, wherein the safety system comprises a plurality of movable parts wherein a first movable part is adapted to respond to an entrapment force (F<sub>e</sub>) applied thereto and wherein the response comprises an upwards rotation or a downwards rotation of the first movable part. The upwards rotation or the downwards rotation of the first movable part preferably activates the anti-entrapment safety system when the rotation exceeds a pre-determined threshold value. The threshold value is preferably defined as a rotation in the range of 0.5 to 20.0 degrees.
