    Abstract: A stairlift may include a rail and a drive unit having a chair and a carrier. The carrier may be adapted to drive along the rail, and the chair may be supported by the carrier. The chair may have a folding mechanism that comprises a base body fixed to the carrier, a seat body that is foldably fixed by way of a seat joint to the base body, a leg body that is foldably fixed to the seat body by way of a leg joint, and a footrest body that is foldably fixed to the leg body by way of a footrest joint.

    Abstract: Embodiments described herein are directed to a method to determine a speed profile for a stairlift, wherein the stairlift includes a guide device, a carriage, and user interaction device. The carriage is rotatable around a vertical axle by a first drive. A specific mass moment of inertia for a specific person is determined by measuring a correlation between applied torque and resulting rotational acceleration for the first drive or the specific mass moment of inertia for a specific person is determined by measuring the specific persons weight while the specific person is carried on the carriage. An optimal torque is set according to the specific mass moment of inertia. The speed profile is determined applying at the most the optimal torque with the first drive.

    Abstract: Embodiments described herein are directed to a method to operate a stairlift, wherein the stairlift includes a guide extending along the staircase, a carriage moveable along the guide and configured to carry a person, and user interaction device for operating the stairlift. At least a first speed profile defining a movement of the carriage at positions along the guide is set. The first speed profile is associated to a first input of the user interaction device and adapted values of the first speed profile or a second speed profile defining a movement of the carriage at positions along the guide different than the first speed profile is associated to a second input of the user interaction device.

    Abstract: A foldable stairlift includes a rail, a carrier that drives along the rail and a chair supported by the carrier. The chair and carrier define a stairlift unit. The chair includes a base body coupled to the carrier, a foldable seat body coupled to the base body, a foldable leg body coupled to the seat body, a foldable footrest body coupled to the leg body, a back rest body coupled to the base body, and a foldable armrest body coupled to the backrest body. Each of the seat body, leg body, and footrest body have their own respective folding system that controls the folding and unfolding of their respective seat body, leg body, and footrest body. And each folding system is controlled by an assigned motor that operates according to a variable speed profile. A method of controlling the folding and unfolding action of the foldable stairlift includes operating the motors according to one or more speed profiles.

    Abstract: A stair lift includes a movable user carrier, an authentication device comprising a signal receiver and at least two signal emitters, wherein each emitter is assigned to a different user of the stairlift, operation adjustment means, for generating a behavioral profile of the stair lift, and a control unit for controlling the stairlift. A method of operating a stair lift includes authenticating one of at least two signal emitters assigned to a first user, and adjusting the behavioral profile of the stair lift according to a stored operation profile associated with the authenticated signal emitter.

    Abstract: A method of configuring a platform lift, having a drive unit with a communication device and a remote device in communication with the communication device so the remote device provides a user input to the control unit, is disclosed. The method includes uploading a selected country specific setting into the communication device, emitting an introductory signal from the communication device to the remote device, emitting an acknowledgement signal from the remote device back to the communication device, emitting from the communication device a first signal containing information corresponding to the uploaded country specific setting, receiving the emitted first signal at the remote device, configuring the remote device by recognizing the country specific setting in the first signal, selecting at the remote device the same country specific setting, and emitting a confirmation signal from the remote device back to the communication device which conforms to the selected country specific setting.
