In the homes where elderly people are accustomed to living, the knee joints are subjected to a lot of stress when going up and down stairs, especially when going down them, which causes frequent falls and can lead to serious health problems such as fractures, hospitalization, and even becoming bedridden or experiencing the progression of dementia. [Solution] Hydraulic bags containing hydraulic oil are placed under the treads of each staircase, and the hydraulic bags are connected to each other by hoses with control valves. When the operating lever inside the handrail is gripped, the wire opens the control valve, and the hydraulic oil is pushed out by the user's weight, causing the treads to descend. The pushed-out hydraulic oil is injected into an empty hydraulic bag container on the floor below, causing the treads on the lower floor to rise and be at the same floor height. This provides an inexpensive, non-powered elevator "specialized for descending," allowing users to easily descend to the floor below without bending their knees.
