Abstract (en)

An anti-unwind assembly 10,30 arranged to prevent full unwinding and hence potential rewinding the other way round of a band 14 of a bath lift. The assembly 10,30 comprising an elongate member 18 rotatable with a winding member (16) and an engagement member in the form of a nut 20 or a profiled member 32 mounted on the elongate member 18. Full unwinding and potential rewinding of the band 14 is prevented by the engagement member 20,32 engaging with an abutment member 22,36 on which a microswitch 24 is provided. When the engagement member 20,32 engages the microswitch 24 the lift motor automatically switches off to prevent full unwinding and potential rewinding of the band 14. <IMAGE>
