Abstract: The invention relates to a guide along a staircase, along which a carriage of for instance, a stair walking aid or a stair lift is displaceable. This can herein comprise at least one elongate tube and engaging means for the carriage, wherein the tube comprises a stationary segment and at least one tiltable segment which are connected by means of a tilting mechanism in order to tilt the tiltable segment selectively away from and to a position lying in the line of the stationary segment, wherein the tilting mechanism is situated substantially in the interior of at least one of the tiltable segment and the stationary segment.

Abstract: A staircase guide for a device for ascending a staircase, the device has a frame with a carrying element for people or goods and a drive connected to the frame. The guide has a cylindrical tube to be adapted to a staircase with at least one protrusion which extends in longitudinal direction of the tube. The tube has an engaging surface for co-action with a drive element of the drive for the purpose of displacing the stairlift and a support surface for support of the drive by a support member in order to hold at least the carrying element upright.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for transporting persons along a staircase, comprising:

Abstract: An inkjet nozzle for an inkjet printer which is adapted to operate in the continuous inkjet mode, and which comprises a housing 1 having an ink supply channel 2 extending therethrough. The downstream end of the ink supply channel 2 is closed by a separate thin flat plate 7 which is fixed to the outlet end of the housing, and the plate includes an outflow channel 8 therethrough which is coaxially aligned with the ink supply channel. The outflow channel 8 has a very small diameter as compared to the diameter of the adjacent portion of the ink supply channel through the housing, and the length of the outflow channel is greater than its diameter. Also, an ultrasonic vibration element 12 is mounted to the exterior of the housing at a location adjacent the outlet end.
