Claim 6

A lift for installation against a substantially vertical wall, comprising a support adapted to be mounted against said wall so as to extend substantially vertically along said wall, said support comprising a pair of vertical box shaped beams connected at regular spacings by cross beams, a plurality of shaft sections each formed of interconnected peripheral elements surrounding an interior of the shaft section, means for interconnecting said shaft sections in axial alignment one above the other so as to form a continuous shaft, means for securing said shaft sections to said support, guide members within the interior of each shaft section positioned so that the aligned guide members of the successive shaft sections form a continuous guideway within the interior of said shaft, a lift car within the interior of said shaft, and means movably interconnecting said car and said guideway.

Claim 7

A lift for installation against a substantially vertical wall, comprising a support adapted to be mounted against said wall so as to extend substantially vertically along said wall, said support comprising a pair of vertical box shaped beams connected at regular spacings by cross beams, a plurality of shaft sections each formed of interconnected peripheral elements surrounding an interior of the shaft section, means for interconnecting said shaft sections in axial alignment one above the other so as to form a continuous shaft, means for securing said shaft sections to said support, guide members within the interior of each shaft section positioned so that the aligned guide members of the successive shaft sections form a continuous guideway within the interior of said shaft, a lift car within the interior of said shaft, and means movably interconnecting said car and said guideway.

Claim 8

A lift according to claim 4, in which the support comprises a plurality of sections mounted in line with and on top of each other.

Claim 9

A lift for installation against a substantially vertical wall, comprising a support adapted to be mounted against said wall so as to extend substantially vertically along said wall, a plurality of shaft sections each formed of interconnected peripheral elements surrounding an interior of the shaft section, means for interconnecting said shaft sections in axial alignment one above the other so as to form a continuous shaft, means for securing said shaft sections to said support, guide members within the interior of each shaft section positioned so that the aligned guide members of the successive shaft sections form a continuous guideway within the interior of said shaft, a lift car within the interior of said shaft, and means movably interconnecting said car and said guideway, the lowermost shaft section being supported on a base member formed by a dished plate on which a dust tray can be supported, laterally of the dished portion the base member having two parallel supporting surfaces for the lowermost section, and four adjustable supporting feet being provided under said supporting surfaces at the four corners of the base member.

Claim 10

A lift for installation against a substantially vertical wall, comprising a support adapted to be mounted against said wall so as to extend substantially vertically along said wall, a plurality of shaft sections each formed of interconnected peripheral elements surrounding an interior of the shaft section, means for interconnecting said shaft sections in axial alignment one above the other so as to form a continuous shaft, means for securing said shaft sections to said support, guide members within the interior of each shaft section positioned so that the aligned guide members of the successive shaft sections form a continuous guideway within the interior of said shaft, a lift car within the interior of said shaft, and means movably interconnecting said car and said guideway, the lowermost shaft section being supported on a base member formed by a dished plate on which a dust tray can be supported, laterally of the dished portion the base member having two parallel supporting surfaces for the lowermost section, and four adjustable supporting feet being provided under said supporting surfaces at the four corners of the base member.
