Abstract

The invention relates to a bogie (1) for moving a chair (120) along a stairlift rail (180), and to an assembly comprising such a bogie. The bogie comprises: a frame (2); a differential mechanism (10) comprising a first connector block (70; 570) and a second connector block (80; 580) which are rotatable relative to each other around a first common axis (A) and opposite to each other in accordance with a bar differential mechanism or in accordance with a gear differential mechanism; a wheel drive (20), attached to the frame (2) and comprising a drive wheel (23) for contacting the stairlift rail, wherein the wheel drive (20) is adapted for rotating the drive wheel (23) around a drive axis (D) to drive movement of the bogie (1) along the stairlift rail (180); a first bracket (30) rotatably mounted to the first connector block (70; 570) to be rotatable relative to the first connector block (70; 570) around a third axis (E) and provided with a first set of guide wheels (31a – 36a, 31b -36b) adapted for contacting the rail; and a second bracket (50) rotatably mounted to the second connector block to be rotatable relative to the second connector block around a fourth axis (F) and provided with a second set of guide wheels (51a-56a, 51b-56b) adapted for contacting the rail.

Abstract

A method for the assembly of a stairlift guide rail (100), the method involving the use of a kit comprising a plurality of segments of guide rail, each segment of the plurality of segments comprising a first face (211) and a second face (212), wherein each tapered segment comprises a protruding lip (220) extending from a first one of said first face and said second face, and a second one of said first face and said second face comprising a recess (351) for receiving a lip 220 of an adjacent tapered segment (210), wherein each segment (210) comprises a through-hole (221) extending across said recess (351) and each lip (220) protruding of each segment (210) comprises a through-hole (221), such that when a lip (220) of an adjacent segment (210) is inserted in said recess (351) said through- holes (221) of said lip (220) and said segment (210) are aligned, and the two adjacent segments are joint by inserting a bolt (231) through said aligned through-holes and fixing said bolt with a nut (232), wherein the radial outer surface (472) of the nut (232) comprises a tapered surface (473), such that when the nut (232) is pulled into the through-hole (221) by rotating the bolt (231) the nut (232) acts as a wedge on the lip (220), thereby pulling the lip (220) and the segment (210) attached thereto tightly towards and against the adjacent segment (210).

Abstract

A rack for a stairway guide suitable for providing good grip in curves comprises a bendable strip body, said bendable strip body comprising a first main side and a second main side, the first main side being provided with a series of equidistant engagement elements, each element being chosen from i) a hole, and ii) a protrusion. Both longitudinal sides are provided with a series of indentations. Being bendable, a stairway guide can be manufactured easily by bending the rack in the desired shape defined by the stairway guide.
