The invention relates to a device of access tracks enabling wheelchair-bound disabled people, prams and pushchairs, and stretchers with injured people, to be able to gain access to all points and locations provided with staircases. It consists of one or two tracks depending on the use 1, equipped with cylinders having a flattened part 2, fixing being made possible by a nut at the centre of the cheeks 3. It also includes fixing strips 4, screws 5, rivets 6 and safety rods 7. The device according to the invention is particularly intended for buildings and transport stations, for allowing access to all people and facilitating dealing with emergencies.

Description

 The present invention relates to an access ramp device adaptable to stairs.

 The old and current urbanization remains traditional on certain point not always foreseeing the means and possibilities to allow the handicapped people moving on wheelchair, the people with prams or strollers, the wounded transported on stretcher etc ... to access @ r to specific places that the obligations of today's life demand. Public establishments, head offices, hospitals, town halls, various exhibitions, par @, fairs and metro. its buildings and transport stations sometimes have a lift which is often accessible after a few steps and sometimes upstairs.

 The device according to the invention makes it possible to remedy this drawback. Easy and quick to install, reliable, reassuring, economical, it adapts to all types of stairs whatever the length, width, height of the steps and can be dismantled if necessary.

 It has e: the effect a thick rubber band (width at the last); flexible and solid on which will be adapted .r bonding or molding, rubber cylinders wandering on a surface a damaged flat surface will be glued or molded under the strip thus allowing a greater surface area, better support. The cylinders will be closed at each end by a molded or glued flange with, in the center, adapted by molding a nut allowing the fixing of the bars. your outside surface of the strip will be rough to avoid this slipping. Once the strip unrolled on the staircase concerned, the cylinders will be wedged in the corner of the steps. The assembly will be fixed to the stair treads with the fixing bars having a hole at each end for fixing the cylinders the passage a screw, for sealing the steps, the passage of a rivet thus allowing the strip to remain stable and integral with the steps. A safety strip will be mounted on the inside edges of each strip, thus preventing wheelchairs, prams and strollers from tipping over. outwards.

 Thus in the case of fitting a strip of access for the disabled, baby carriages and strollers, it is therefore possible for a person to borrow the staircase between the two strips to hold or push.
