Definitions
- the invention pertains to stairlifts and more particularly to spiral or corkscrew stairs with a central pole, and more exactly to a lift for wheelchairs running on it.
- the task of the here disclosed invention therefore is to find a solution for a design of a staircase that provides an easy installation of a staircase lift in case of need and a suitable lifting system.
- the particular inventive step in it is the application of magnetic force to transmit the lifting energy and to use a small distance to the stairs and a bumper to provide a safety holding means in case of failure.
- Guiderails on or embedded spirally within the central pole having one or more carriages running on it, that support a L-shaped platform for the wheelchair or a hook system for directly plugging it on.
- Those carriages may be moved with wire ropes, which implies quite a few units of it to guide the cable around the pole.
- the lifting force is transmitted by a magnetic system, comprising a circular or semi-circular magnetic plate, moved on the inside of the tubular central pole and a corresponding magnetic or soft iron segmental arch gliding on the outside of the tube, moving the carriage
- the central pole-tube then needs to be of non-magnetic material, may be of aluminium or glass- or carbon fiber compound with resins.
- Fig. 1 demonstrates the construction of a stairlift for wheelchairs, wherein the wheelchair (1) is hooked on a carriage (2), that is guided by spiral rails (3) on, or integrated within the central pole (4) of a spiral stair (5).
- a howling cable may also run on these rails (3), however the preferred embodiment comprises the magnetic lifting system as demonstrated of drawing Fig. 2:
- the driving force therefore might be transmitted by cables running inside the central pole, preferably looped around a drive pulley on top, as common for small lifts.
