Claim:
A moving walkway formed by a series of pallets with a rectangular contour having a passable surface and connected with drive means, wherein the pallets are consecutively connected to one another along end sections of their adjacent parallel edges, by connection means defining hinges with a pin perpendicular to the direction of movement of the pallets, and have between said end sections means defining, in the forward movement path of the walkway, mutual supports between coplanar consecutive pallets; the connection means between consecutive pallets comprising groups of vertical tabs projecting from sections of the edges of the pallets perpendicular to the direction of movement, below the passable surface, in alternating positions on both edges; the tabs of which are alternately placed against one another in opposing groups of consecutive pallets and have an orifice which is aligned in all the tabs placed against one another for receiving the pins which are perpendicular to the direction of movement; each pin being fixed to one of the two pallets that it connects, by means of an anchoring element, and can freely rotate with respect to the other pallet; the anchoring element comprising a bolt traversing the pin and one of the tabs of the pallet to which said pin is fixed, the bolt being axially moveable between an inner release position, and an extracted retention position, in which the bolt traverses the pin and the tab, said bolt being constantly driven toward locking position by means of a spring housed in an inner cavity drilled in the pin; and wherein a channel on which a part is assembled by means of clipping is included in the inner cavity of the hinge pin, on which part the lateral guiding of the band of pallets is carried out.
