Swiss Engineer Hans Weibel is the inventor and patent holder of the Weibel Precision Projector Lift.

Mr Weibel has more than twenty-five years experience in the international audio and video industry.

Due to differing perceptions of good interior design between men and women, Weibel strongly believes in the 21st century market of projectors for home and office use.

Mr Weibel states: "Women do not like to look at a 'big black screen' in homes or offices. The screen should be as small and invisible as possible, especially when turned off. For men the opposite is true: the screen should be as big and visible as possible, especially when turned on. This seemingly endless dispute between men and women is reminiscent of their all too familiar debate at car dealers around the world."

Mr Weibel has been proven right, as projector sales for both home and office use have increased steadily over the past few years. As well as making projector lifts look good, he has also developed a safe and sound future investment for protecting any projector. His Weibel Lifts are out of sight when not in use. Toddlers and pets are unable to 'plug & play' a hidden projector and its wires stored safely in a ceiling or cupboard. And burglars won't be tempted to steal a projector they cannot see. Thanks to Weibel Lift any projector is 'for your eyes only'.

After turning his dream into a reality, Mr Weibel and his team surprised friends and competitors earlier this year when they demonstrated the Weibel Lifts and old generation 'scissor lifts' before live audiences at international trade fairs. The 'Weibel Lifters' presented their pilot machine in Menzingen (Switzerland), 'PALME' and 'Dubai Office Interior' in Dubai (UAE) and at 'CEDIA' in London (UK). Their daily updated log shows that their machine is already running at an equivalent of a hundred years of daily use, after having moved the lift up and down forty thousand times without any problems.
