Closure Bar for a Chair of a Chair Lift and Chair of a Chair Lift Having the Closure Bar

Abstract

A closure bar for a chair of a chair lift includes regions having an increased non-slip capability in order to prevent people from slipping out of the chair. At least a region of the closure bar pointing downwards when in a closed position has the higher non-slip capability. A chair of a chair lift having the closure bar is also provided.
