The invention relates to a travelator, which comprises a conveyor (1) comprising a number of belt drums (2, 3, 4) . Placed at the end (6) of the conveyor is a first belt drum (2) . A second belt drum (3) is the one next to the first belt drum. A third belt drum (4) is one of the following belt drums adjacent to the second belt drum. The conveyor further comprises a number of mutually parallel endless belt loops (7, 8) forming a conveying surface (9). The first belt loops (7) are passed over the belt pulleys on the first belt drum (2) and on the second belt drum (3). The second belt loops (8) are passed over the belt pulleys on the second belt drum (3) and the third belt drum (4) so that they are alternately interleaved with the first belt loops. A comb plate (10) is arranged in the immediate vicinity of the end (6) of the conveyor. The comb plate (10) has a number of teeth (11) substantially parallel to each other and spaced by a distance, the first belt loops (7) being fitted to pass between said teeth, and an upper surface (12). The upper portions of the first belt loops (7) are at an inclined angle (a) The comb plate (10) is so disposed on the first belt drum (2) that the teeth (11) of the comb plate (10) extend substantially close to the second belt loops (8) running over the second belt drum (3).
