Stairlifts

A folding mechanism for a chair and, in particular, to a stairlift chair, has a seat base, backrest and armrests. The folding mechanism ensures that all parts of the chair remain in a swivel arc whether the chair is in an in-use configuration or folded configuration. Various additional features are described including armrests formed in part by flexible straps.

Folding chairs

A stairlift chair has a hand control displaceable in a fore/aft direction. Other aspects include a hand control which is mounted at a point beneath the armrest and a fabric covering which is applied to the armrests and the backrest support.

Stairlift chair

The invention describes a footrest for a stairlift chair in which the safety mechanisms included in the footrest are enveloped in a flexible cover that allows the safety mechanisms to function in the intended manner yet prevents the intrusion of dirt and objects that might interfere with the operation of the safety mechanisms. Various further features are described to enhance the aesthetics of the chair.
