Who And When Was The First Stair lift Discovered?

Article Category: Wellness, Fitness and Diet

Stair lift has been a great and very priceless invention for people who are unable to ascend the stairs due to their physical health. A stair lift works in a way that a rail or track is fixed on the wall of the stairs and the stair lift travel on that rail to take the person up or down the stairs.

There are different types of stair lifts accessible in the market, depending upon the wants of the person who is to utilise them. It is said that C.C Cripsen, who was an American entrepreneur in America, initially invented the stair lift. The invention was made sometime in 1920s.

Cripsen was from Pennsylvania and the idea that he had in mind for the stair lift was that he wanted to invent a seat that had the potential to ascend stairs. It was his thought of enabling his ill friend to move to the divese floors, which he was unable to do because of his physical disability.

Cripsen was a self-taught engineer and he was the first one who made the first prototype for the inclining chair. This is the history of the stair lift's invention if we look into the near past. However, upon looking cavernous history, historians have discovered some amazing details about the invention of the stair lift.

The genuine inventor of the stair lift, after studies, is thought to be Henry VIII and it was Cripsen who trailed him after a number of centuries. Historians say that King Henry invented the stair lift sometime in the 1500s. The fundamental idea behind it was to take him up and down the stairs.

The emperor felt the need of starting to use something like a stair lift to carry his mass because he was wounded through jousting and had become powerless to mount the stairs. Historians conjecture that a slab and tackle would probably had been used at that time by the servants to lift the stair lift with the King. Hence, it was King Henry VIII, who used the stair lift for the very first time on his twenty-foot staircase.

When we talk about the history of the stair lift and its invention, it is also significant mentioning that what we call a stair lift today was called by quite an fascinating name in the time of the King. It was called a 'Chair that Goethe Up and Down'. so, one can say that before anyone knew about such a thing, the stair lift was functioning at the Whitehall Palace, London.

King Henry, who could not mount stairs due to his obesity, also used the early type of a wheelchair by having wheels set under his throne. However, it would be more suitable to call it a wheel throne, but the plan was similar as the one used now. Evidence that the stair lift was actually invented, and used first by King Henry VIII was found when attention was drawn to a list of the King's possessions. In this list, the stair lift that the King had used is also mentioned.
