Claim:
1. A worker-rider belt with a revolvingly led, extensively extended conveying element, which forms a conveying section with a conveying surface for a worker, and a return section arranged below the conveying section, and the conveying element is deflected in each case in two head-end regions, which are spaced from one another along the conveying direction, wherein a wiper device for wiping foreign objects led along on the conveying surface of the conveying element is arranged in a head-end region, which is at the front in the conveying direction and in which the conveying element is deflected from the conveying section into the return section, and the wiper device comprises a wiper unit with a receiving blade running transversely to the conveying direction as well as a wiper blade, which is mounted on the wiper unit and which forms a flexible wiper lip projecting towards the conveying element beyond the receiving blade, wherein the receiving blade is designed as a vibration conveying element and mounted on the worker-rider belt in a manner such that vibrations, which are triggered by the movement of the conveying element or a drive motor, are transmitted onto the receiving blade, such that foreign objects which are transported from the conveying element via the wiper lip onto the receiving blade, are moved on the receiving blade towards the head end due to vibrations of the receiving blade.
