MUMBAI, India, July 7 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202441104273 A) filed by Pradeep Rajan; Dr S R Janani; and S Gowtham on December 30, 2024, for Easylift Escalator Chairs.
Inventors include Pradeep Rajan; Dr S R Janani; and S Gowtham.
The application for the patent was published on July 03, 2026, under issue no. 27/2026.
Abstract: The present invention describes an adjustable chair system designed for seamless integration with escalators, with a specific focus on assisting physically challenged and elderly individuals. The system is devised to improve accessibility and safety for users who encounter difficulties standing or maintaining balance on conventional escalators, especially in situations where alternatives like stair lifts or elevators are unavailable or inconvenient. The adjustable chair system comprises two arms that securely attach to the corners of escalator handles. One arm is fixed, while the other is made of stretchable metal, allowing it to be extended and locked onto the escalator handles. The chair legs are designed to be movable, providing stability for the user during escalator movement. As the escalator begins to move, the system's springs automatically adjust to the escalator's motion, ensuring the chair remains stable and preventing the user from falling. This innovative system addresses the safety concerns of physically challenged and elderly individuals, making escalator usage more accessible and user-friendly.
