The invention provides a levelling system for the chair of a stairlift, a characteristic feature of the system being the provision of a safety back-up or locking mechanism that will lock the position of the chair in the event of failure within the levelling drive. This locking mechanism preferably includes a locking wheel that is in partial mesh with a geared wheel forming part of the levelling drive. In the event of failure within the drive the locking wheel meshes to lock the position of the chair.

A roller arrangement (20) for a stairlift carriage is described, the arrangement including a central roller set (22), and outer roller sets (24) and (26). Rollers (42), (43, 44) and (45) in the outer roller sets are mounted in yokes (48) which are mounted for independent pivotal movement, relative to one another, in two orthogonal axes. The axes of each set preferably lie in common planes.

The invention describes an over-speed governor (21) for a stairlift (10) which not only triggers upon the carriage (12) exceeding a pre-determined speed, but also triggers in the event the chair (11) departs from the horizontal by more than a predetermined angle. The speed determining function is preferably electronic and the governor operates in both directions without adaptation. Other aspects are described including a trip speed check facility.
摘要:
The invention provides a enhancement to stairlift safety by separately monitoring the angular movement of a stairlift chair levelling motor, and the angular position of a chair leveled by that motor. By comparing the angular positions, any failure in the levelling system can be readily determined and, in response, a seat locking device can be deployed.

The self-propelled stairs moving unit A1 moves on stairs, putting a manual wheelchair K on the pallet 7, by driving the front crawler traveling units 1a, 1b and the rear crawler traveling units 2a, 2b wherein right and left are unitedly connected with each other. When the stairs moving unit A1 is started to go up to the stairs from the flat face of lower hand, the front crawler traveling unit 1a relatively gently goes up. Then, the angle between the pallet 7 to be held to be level with the connecting shaft 6 which is rotation center of the traveling unit 1a as its center of oscillation and the line connecting both connecting portions of the support frames 5a connecting the front and rear crawler traveling units 1a, 2a (that is, the self-propelled portion) is slowly changed. When the stairs moving unit A1 is transferred from the upper end of the stairs to the flat face, the front crawler traveling unit 1a goes over the connecting point 6 of the support frame 5a which is the load center, it is rotated to move in a moment with the connecting shaft 6 as its center from the full line position along the inclined face of the stairs to the chain line position along the flat face, but the pallet 7 is still held to be level with the connecting shaft 6 as its oscillation center. Then, the pallet can be held to be level on the transfer part between the flat face and the stairs as well as on the flat face and the inclined face of the stairs, thereby no fear is given to the person on a wheelchair on the pallet.

A transport seat for conveying disabled travellers through a stairwell opening of a passenger carrying vehicle is disclosed. An elongate boom section is pivotally connected to a support base located exterior of the vehicle and is intended to extend over the stairwell of the vehicle. The boom section at its vehicle interior end is supported from the floor or a stair tread of the vehicle. A seat is carried on the boom section and is reciprocatable therealong. A traveller on the seat, during transport, faces outwardly of the vehicle towards the support base. The seat, however, is made rotatable so that a traveller on the seat, after being transported into the interior of the vehicle, can be rotated in a horizontal plane in order to face the vehicle floor and leave the seat and conversely, can first occupy the seat and then be rotated to face the support base before being transported from the interior of the vehicle. Because the vertical angle of the boom may vary, the seat carried on it is made adjustable so that it remains in a substantially horizontal plane during use. The support base can be located at a fixed position, or optionally, roller mounted for portability. The device is principally intended for use with passenger coaches but can also be employed when transporting disabled travellers to and from trains and aircraft. No structural or mounting alterations to the passenger carrying vehicle are required.

An apparatus for transporting a load, in particular a stairlift, includes a frame displaceable along a rail, a load carrier rotationally mounted on the frame for rotation around a horizontal axis, an adjusting motor for rotating the load carrier relative to the frame around the horizontal axis, a rotation blocking device for blocking of the load carrier with respect to the frame in a braking operation mode, and a decoupling means to decouple the load carrier from the rotation blocking device and/or the frame from the rotation blocking device so that a limited amount of movement of the load carrier and/or the frame with respect to the rotation blocking device is allowed in the braking operation mode of the rotation blocking device. A resilient member resists at least part of said movement of the load carrier and/or the frame with respect to the rotation blocking device.
