Stair Climbing
Wheelchair
GROUP MEMBERS: RICHARD TUON, JAMES WALKER, ALEC WIENS
Problem statement
 Create a stairclimbing wheelchair
 User weight of 120 pounds
 User can apply 50 pounds of force in one action, or 20 pounds of force
repeatedly
 Climbs steps that are a height of 8 inches and width of 11 inches
 Can climb at least 5 steps
 Works on both flat ground surfaces and stairs
Demonstration of wheelchair
Front-side View
 Angled view of the
wheelchair in full
render
Top view
 Top angled view
Exploded View
 Exploded view
to show all of
the parts
Lean Function and Exploded View
Specially Designed Wheels
 Wheels that can grip onto
the steps and climb up
 Also works fairly smoothly
on regular flat surfaces
Hand Crank and Gear Ratios
 Because of a low 20 pounds
of force input, gear ratios is
a must
 Hand crank and gears allows
the user to rotate control the
wheels with ease.
Seat Frame
 Allows the user to recline
backwards and forwards
 Shifts the center of gravity to
prevent toppling over while
climbing stairs
Smooth Ascension
 The graph of linear
displacement in the Y-
direction shows that the
upward movement of the
user is fairly linear
 As a result, the movement of
climbing the stairs is smooth

Conclusion
 Initially the idea sounded ludicrous
 Brainstorming reveals multiple different solutions
 Implement design of machinery knowledge to create a machine
 Incorporate knowledge of gear ratios, joints, levers, and physics to your
benefit
 Fulfill the problem statement requirements
 Stairclimbing wheelchair can be simple to make and beneficial to
wheelchair users to increase comfort of living
