A travelling walkway for conveying of persons, comprises sections with different speeds and with varying speeds, is formed from pivotably interconnected and driven carriers, wherein the length distances between the carriers are variable and step elements, which overlap one another in running direction of the travelling walkway and are displaceable relative to one another, are present on the carriers. Link chains, which are arranged parallel in longitudinal direction and which are transversely connected at the joints by means of step plates to form an articulated lattice variable in length and width, are used as carriers. Lateral guides and guide rollers produce the stretching and pushing together of the articulated lattice required by changes in width. Grooved and smooth drive belts move the articulated lattice at different speeds as necessary. The articulated lattice is horizontally deflected at both ends of the travelling walkway by means of a circulating device.

[ I claim:] [1.] A travelling walkway for conveying of persons, comprising at least one fast travel section having a high constant speed, at least one slow travel section having a low constant speed, and variable speed sections with variable speeds between the fast travel sections and the slow travel sections formed from pivotably interconnected carriers, wherein the length distances between the carriers can vary; and step plates, which overlap one another in the running direction of the travelling walkway and are displaceable relative to one another in a running direction of the travelling walkway, are mounted upon the carriers, and wherein a respective deflection of the step plates and carriers is provided at each end of the travelling walkway, characterized in that the pivotably interconnected carriers comprise at least three link chains arranged parallel in a longitudinal direction, a middle link chain being alternatively transversely connected at intervals to adjacent link chains by means of the step plates to form an articulated lattice of link chains joined by the step plates across a variable length and width.
