When the foldable rail 7 is laid down, the rail 6 and the end portions of the foldable rail 7 are connected to each other. The handle 7a at the tip is lifted to remove it from the rail 6 and stand vertically. If the upper part of the rail 6 interferes with the passage on the upper floor, it may be a folding rail.

Reference numeral 8 is a skewing machine for skewing the seat chair 9, and the driving method thereof is a chain type, and a chain 11 of rails is driven by a driving portion to skew up and down. The driving method may be a gear type. The skewer 8 is provided with a safety device that automatically stops when an unnecessary force is applied to the drive unit during skewing. The skewer 8 is provided with an upper seat 9 and a lower footrest 14 so as to be seated in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the rail 6, that is, sideways to the stairs. Further, the tilting machine 8 and the footrest 14 are not changed, and only the upper seat 9 is rotatably provided.
Turn the chair at the top of the stairs to make it easier to get in and out of the aisle above the stairs 5.

Further, a handrail (not shown) may be provided on the upper portion of the seat chair 9 so that the footrest 14 can be held by the handrail and slanted.
