Description

A HOME ESCALATOR DEVICE
TECHNICAL FIELD
[001] Embodiments of the invention relate to a home escalator device, in particular for lifting and lowering people along stairs, e.g. mobility challenged people.
BACKGROUND
[002] People reaching advanced age and/or suffering from disability resulting in reduced mobility, may encounter less ability to get up and down stairs in their home environment. This may result in a necessity to either re-locate to a new home where stairs do not pose a mobility problem or install expensive mobility solutions such as an elevator. Therefore, there is a growing need for solutions to improve the movement for individuals having difficulty in using stairs or the like, without need to perform substantial construction or changes to an existing staircase and that can be easily removed from the staircase if not needed anymore.
[003] WO2018092125 the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference, describes a home escalator device for supporting upward and downward movement of people along stairs of the staircase. The home escalator device in one of its examples includes supports that can be fitted to the stairs and rails that can be pivotally coupled to the supports to permit adjustment of the device for use with staircases of different steepness. SUMMARY
[004] The following embodiments and aspects thereof are described and illustrated in conjunction with systems, tools and methods which are meant to be exemplary and illustrative, not limiting in scope.
[005] In an embodiment there is provided a home escalator device for transferring users up or down along stairs of a staircase, the device comprising a plurality of rests each comprising a base member and an axially extending rod member that is coupled to the base member, wherein the coupling is of an axial end region of the rod member with the base member while a remainder of the rod member extends sideways away from the base member towards an opposing axial end region of the rod member, and wherein the device further comprises at least one rail that is coupled to the base members of all rests.
[006] Provision of base members that act as interfaces to moving parts of the escalator (e.g. rail and platform) along one lateral side of the staircase, while the rod members extend snugly along intersections between treads and risers of the stairs towards the opposing lateral side of the staircase (to stabilize the device) - leave the staircase substantially free of obstructions to users wanting to advance along the staircase without the use of the escalator.
[007] In addition to the exemplary aspects and embodiments described above, further aspects and embodiments will become apparent by reference to the figures and by study of the following detailed descriptions.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES
[008] Exemplary embodiments are illustrated in referenced figures. It is intended that the embodiments and figures disclosed herein are to be considered illustrative, rather than restrictive.

[015] It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration, elements shown in the figures have not necessarily been drawn to scale. For example, the dimensions of some of the elements may be exaggerated relative to other elements for clarity. Further, where considered appropriate, reference numerals may be repeated within the figures to indicate like elements.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[016] Attention is first drawn to Fig. 1 schematically illustrating a typical staircase 10 with base members 12 of a home escalator device in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, being seen placed each on a respective tread 11 of the staircase. It is noted that base members (and rests described herein below) may not necessarily be placed on each stair of the staircase and hence may be placed only on part of the stairs.
[017] Base member 12 can be seen in the enlarged view at the upper side of Fig. 1 as including a hollow bar 121 that is formed about an axis X, a generally planar plate (or plank) 123 and two side supports 122 that connect between the bar 121 and the plate 123.
[018] Base member 12 can be placed on a tread 11 of a staircase with its bar extending axially generally alongside an intersection 13 formed between the tread 11 and an adjacent riser of the staircase that extends above the tread. The base members can possibly be laid on the stairs without being positively attached to the stairs, i.e. said base members can be lifted up from the stairs without need to release any fasteners or the like.
[019] Attention is drawn to Fig. 2 illustrating arm- like rod members 14 being placed alongside respective intersections 13 between adjacent treads and risers of the staircase. Each rod member 14 can be seen being coupled adjacent one of its axial ends 141 to a respective base member 12 and extending sideways therefrom along its respective stair. Coupling between a rod member 14 and its respective base member 12 can be formed by inserting an end region of the rod member (adjacent axial end 141) through the hollow bar 121 of the base member 12.
[020] Blocks 16, possibly formed from elastic material such as rubber, may be placed at spaced apart locations along each rod member 14. The blocks may serve for slightly lifting and/or spacing the rod members away from the intersection 13 along which they are placed and/or for providing cushioning or support between the rod members and the treads/risers of the staircase, while possibly increasing friction between the escalator and a staircase while possibly avoiding substantial damage (e.g. scratches) to the staircase.
[021] As seen in the enlarged view at the upper side of Fig. 2, assemblies of a base member and its associated rod member - provide rests 17 for the escalator device against stairs in the staircase. The rests 17 as seen provide on the one hand stability to an escalator device during use while maintaining a relative open passage along the staircase e.g. for users wanting to ascend or descend the staircase not using the home escalator device. [022] As seen in the preceding and following figures, the base that is located at a first lateral side (LI) (here right side) of each stair (and by that occupies only a small lateral portion of each stair) - provides an interface for connecting to further elements of the escalator, while the arm- like rod member that ‘snugly’ extends sideways along the intersection 13 of each stair towards the opposing lateral side (L2) of the stair - is adapted to resist moment forces that may act to tilt the escalator device sideways. See the opposing lateral sides of the staircase LI and L2 indicated in Fig. 3.
[023] Attention is drawn to Fig. 3 illustrating rails 18 connected to the base members that due to the positioning of the bases along a lateral right-hand side of the staircase - are also placed extending along the same lateral side of the staircase. The rails may be fixed to the plate 123 of each base. Preferably, fixing of the rails to the plate of each base member is such that each rail is located generally above a respective side support 122 of the base member that supports it from beneath.
[024] In certain embodiments (not shown) any numbers of rails 18 and/or respective side supports 122 may be provided, such as a single rail 18 possible situated generally above a single side support 122 of a base member.
[025] Coupling between each base member and its respective rod member may be such that the base member can be relatively free to be pivoted about its rod member at least during assembly of a home escalator device to a staircase. Such pivoting of the base member may facilitate adjustment of a home escalator device to staircases of different steepness and/or sizes.
[026] Rails 18 may be of a linear motion guide type supporting motion of carriage slide units there along (such carriage slide units being hidden in the provided figures). A motor 20 coupled to a rail 18 may be used for urging axial movement of a carriage slide unit along the rail by means of an endless belt (or the like).
[027] Fig. 3 additionally shows a platform 22 that can be coupled to the rails of the escalator device for supporting users up or down the staircase. Coupling of the platform can typically be performed to the carriage slide(s) units of the rails. In cases where two rails 18 are provided, one of the rails may be operatively coupled to a motor 20 to form an “operative” active rail that can be used for urging movement of the platform up or down the staircase, while the other rail may be a “passive” rail that is not connected to the motor and by that functions to mainly support the platform against moment forces acting to tilt the device. Possibly, a “passive” rail may be the more outer lateral rail.
[028] Attention is drawn to Fig. 4 illustrating a platform embodiment 22 that may include a foldable chair 24. The chair may be pivoted between a ‘nondeployed’ state where it may optionally be substantially flush with a hand support railing 26 of the platform (see right hand side of figure) and a ‘deployed’ state (see left hand side of figure) where the chair is in a position suitable for supporting a user.
[029] Fig. 5 illustrates possible use of several escalator device embodiments 100 such as those shown and described herein for supporting users up or down a staircase that includes several flights (here three flights).
[030] Attention is drawn to Figs. 6A and 6B illustrating a platform embodiment 22 that may include a foldable standing support 28. The standing support may be pivoted between a ‘non-deployed’ state where it is foldable in this example towards a hand support railing 26 of the platform (see Fig. 6B) and a ‘deployed’ state (see Fig. 6A) where the standing support is in a position suitable for supporting a user. As seen, the platform embodiment 22 in this embodiment may include also a foldable chair, an example of which can be seen in Fig. 4.
[031] Provision of such foldable supports (such as chair and/or standing support) may be useful in maintaining the open passage along the staircase e.g. for users wanting to ascend or descend the staircase not using the home escalator device.
[032] In the description and claims of the present application, each of the verbs, “comprise” “include” and “have”, and conjugates thereof, are used to indicate that the object or objects of the verb are not necessarily a complete listing of members, components, elements or parts of the subject or subjects of the verb.
[033] Further more, while the present application or technology has been illustrated and described in detail in the drawings and foregoing description, such illustration and description are to be considered illustrative or exemplary and non- restrictive; the technology is thus not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Variations to the disclosed embodiments can be understood and effected by those skilled in the art and practicing the claimed technology, from a study of the drawings, the technology, and the appended claims.
[034] In the claims, the word “comprising” does not exclude other elements or steps, and the indefinite article “a” or “an” does not exclude a plurality. A single processor or other unit may fulfill the functions of several items recited in the claims. The mere fact that certain measures are recited in mutually different dependent claims does not indicate that a combination of these measures can not be used to advantage.
