    Abstract: A patient transport apparatus (100) for transporting a patient along stairs. A seat section (104) is coupled to a support structure (102) supporting a track assembly (154) having a belt. A motor selectively generates torque to drive the belt. An upper area light module (335) is configured to illuminate light directed at floor surfaces in a rearward direction and constrained to a rearward volume to prevent the light from obstructing a view of a user engaging an upper handle assembly (132). A user interface (204) including an activation input control (214) for controlling the motor and an area light input control (334) for controlling the upper area light module (335) is arranged for engagement by the user. A controller (212) is configured to permit operation of the motor based on the activation input control and to operate the upper area light module in a first or second state based on user engagement of the area light input control.

    Abstract: A patient transport apparatus with a seat assembly to support a patient. A rear assembly pivots between first and second rear positions, and a stair rear position. A ski is selectively pivotable relative to the rear assembly between a plurality of ski positions. A carrier is coupled between the rear assembly and the ski and is operable between: an unlocked state where relative movement between the ski and the rear assembly is permitted, and a locked state where the carrier inhibits relative movement between the ski and the rear assembly. Movement of the rear assembly from the first rear position towards the second rear position changes operation of the carrier from the unlocked state to the locked state such that continued movement of the rear assembly into the rear stair position arranges the rear assembly and the ski for engagement with stairs.
