DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a home elevator and a method of installing the same, and more particularly, to a method of installing a home elevator installed in an existing house.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In response to an aging society, residential home elevators (hereinafter referred to as "home elevators") so that the elderly or physically handicapped can use them mainly for safety.
Demand is growing rapidly. In recent years, it has grown at a rate of about 60% every year, and has exceeded 6,000 in recent years. In the early 21st century, it is expected that it will continue to grow and exceed 30,000 units, and it is almost as fast as commercial elevators. A commercial elevator has a relatively long depth dimension and a large space to accommodate a large number of people and luggage, but a home elevator has at most 2
Since it is sufficient to carry up to three people, the depth dimension can be reduced and the apparatus can be installed in a small space. In addition, the price of home elevators is small relative to housing costs,
Including its convenience, it has often been installed at the same time as new construction.

However, a conventional home elevator is almost always installed in a house at the same time as a new construction, and is not installed in an existing house. When installing a new building in an existing house, the construction cost will increase to remodel the house itself, the floor plan of the house will be limited, and the site will be limited. It was rarely installed alone.

[0004]

The number of houses with terraces (deck), wet edges, stepping stones, etc. installed in the garden is increasing.
In response to the peeling and aging of these veranda's structural materials, aluminum manufacturers and exterior manufacturers can respond to these renewal demands by installing “verandas” or “terraces” that can be easily installed in existing houses. (Deck) "and" Sunroom "products have been produced in large numbers, and their achievements have been achieved and standardized.

[0005] The use of the existing veranda or terrace (deck) or the installation of a home elevator including a new veranda or terrace (deck) is attracting attention in order to facilitate the restriction of the site and the cost. You.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, and a first object of the present invention is to provide a method of installing a home elevator in an existing private house that can be installed alone without modifying an existing house. A second object is to provide a method of installing a home elevating device that can be easily and compactly formed using a veranda or a terrace, including a standardized veranda or terrace, and can be manufactured at low cost. It is to provide.

[0007]
