Definitions

  • the invention considers a staircase and a method for mounting such staircase. Further, a production method for producing a staircase part is disclosed.
  • Staircases consist of four main components, railings (or baluster), handrail, stair treads and landings. Other parts of a staircase are for example risers, stringers, followers, bolts etc. Risers may cover parts or the whole distance between the treads and the so-called followers are an alternative form of a stringer and may for example be one or two flat steel followers which runs between the steps, and by that connects the steps at its outer edges, wherein the construction becomes stable.
  • a spiral staircase normally comprises a pillar to which the treads are screwed, wherein the staircase runs around the central pillar upwards and a stringer, or one or more flat steel followers, connects the outer ends of the treads to make the staircase stable.
  • railings (balusters) are mounted to the outer ends of the treads and handrails are mounted to the railings or to the treads via railing posts and sometimes, an inner handrail is mounted to the central pillar.
  • the treads of the staircase may be made in various designs, materials and so on, and may comprise perforations with a hole pattern and design of the holes to cope with issues like providing a non-slippery surface.
  • staircase One type of known staircase is where the treads are made of steel grating, where load bearing bars are joined with cross bars under high pressure and high amperage which gives a welded joint at each connection between load bearing and cross bars. Edging bars are welded perpendicularly to the bearing bars on the grating and the gratings are then normally hot dip galvanized, before they are ready to be packed and sent to a site for mounting to a complete staircase.
  • a common type of spiral staircase comprises a metal pillar, to which the stair treads are fixedly attached by screws which connects the treads directly to the pillar or to brackets which in turn are fixedly connected to the central pillar. Further, this type comprises flat steel “followers", which are metal bands which are screwed to the outer ends of the treads, one upper and one lower. Of course, one wide steel follower may be used. To the outer ends of the treads or to the followers, some kind of railings are mounted.
  • the railings may, depending on visual and/or safety issues be in form vertical bars, horizontal bars, combinations of horizontal and vertical bars, perforated or unperforated sheet metal, wire mesh, glass etc. Due to safety reasons, the railings must have a certain height, which height normally is higher than the natural height for a handrail, why the handrail must be positioned a bit below the upper edge of the railing.
  • Known metal staircases are produced like single parts, where some of the parts are welded to each other and after the details are in a "ready" state, the parts are then normally galvanized to protect the steel from corrosion, as explained for a known staircase above.
  • the kit When delivering a complete staircase, the kit comprises a lot of components which are to be mounted to each other to build up the staircase.

  • the railing part is arranged along the first side edge of the tread part and extends in the first direction, which preferably is perpendicular to the tread part such as a free railing edge faces away from the tread part.
  • the inventive concept also discloses other angles of the railing part relative the tread part.
  • the design of the railing part may comprise different bends and angles to provide a certain design, as long as the railing part origins from the one single sheet metal part.
  • Such a staircase is unique in that a lot of parts which normally are parts of a staircase, particularly for a metal staircase, are integrated in the modular staircase parts, which further by their design contribute to the overall stability and strength of the staircase, thus resulting in a reduced number of parts.

  • a riser 70 which not is a part of another staircase part 6a, 6b, ..., 6n may be mounted to the first staircase part 6a, by connecting the riser 70 to the tread part 20 of the first staircase part 6a, preferably to the nose part 50 of the same.
  • the next step is to mount a next stair tread 2 by mounting one second staircase part 6b to the next second fixation means 105b of the center pillar 100 by one or more attachment means 5, in the same way as described above in relation to the first step 2.
  • next stair tread 2 is fixedly attached to the pillar 100
  • the following step is to mount another stair tread 2 by mounting one next staircase part 6c to the corresponding fixation means 105c of the center pillar 100 by one or more attachment means 5, in the same way as described above.
  • the staircase 1 is the further mounted by repeating the above steps, for each step, until the uppermost stair tread 2 is attached to a fixation means 105n of the pillar 100 and to the stair tread 2 below the uppermost stair tread 2. Then, the riser part 30 of the uppermost stair tread 2 is attached to an upper floor of the upper floor level or to the floor part 110 by a plurality of attachment means 5.
  • the staircase preferably comprises two posts 80, wherein the method for mounting the staircase 1 further comprises to attach one post 80 to the front edge 43 of the staircase part 6a of the first stair tread 2, and further to attach one second post 80 to the back edge 41 or the first tongue 45 of the uppermost staircase part 6n of the last stair tread 2 of the staircase 1, by a plurality of attachment means 5. This may be done at any time during the mounting, but preferably in connection to the mounting of respective first and last step 2.
  • Fig. 4 shows a side view of a staircase 1 mounted according to the inventive method and comprising a number of staircase parts 6a, 6b, ..., 6n.
  • the staircase 1 made of metal comprises in this case four stair treads 2 and the floor part 110.
  • There are five risers 3 wherein four are riser parts 30 of respective staircase part 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d, and the first one is the "extra" riser 70.
  • the railing 4 actually consists of four railing parts 40 attach to each other by attachment means 5, to form the complete railing 4.
  • the first and the last riser part 40 are attached to a respective squared post 80.
  • the railing part 40 comprises the designed pattern of holes 48 and the free railing edge 44 comprises the tongue part 49, which in the formed (bent) staircase part 6a, 6b, ..., 6n, is bent to form a stable upper edge of the railing part 40.
  • Fig. 5 shows a section view of a part of a railing 4 of the staircase 1 of Fig. 4 which shows how a handrail 120 is screwed to the railing by a threaded spacer.
