Abstract:
Safety top balustrade for a car of a machine room-less elevator which moves in a hoistway, on a wall of which the controller of the elevator is secured, said balustrade comprising: - a fixed structure (21) comprising a plurality of vertical uprights (24) fixed at intervals near edge of the car roof (16) and at least two horizontal tubular guard rails (20, 30) fixed at different heights on the uprights, around the periphery of the car roof,except at the place which is in front of the controller (14) when the car is at the level of controller, in order to leave a passage (33) for direct access to the latter, - a mobile structure (34) comprising at least two horizontal bars (36, 38) which are telescopically mounted inside the tubular guard rails, so as to slide between an open position where the bars are inserted within the guard rails, to free said passage towards the controller, and a closed position where the bars are extended out of the guard rails, whereby said passage is obstructed.
Abstract:
A sliding guide shoe for an elevator is provided including a base having a plurality of walls. A contact liner has a first side operably connected to at least one of the plurality of walls. A second side of the contact liner is configured to contact at least one surface on an elevator guide rail. The contact liner has a non-uniform thickness and is thereby configured to contact the at least one surface of the elevator guide rail over less than an entire surface of the second side of the contact liner.
Abstract:
The safety device according to the invention for maintenance personnel in elevators having no machine rooms and flexible tension member, the elevator booth comprising an upper median crosspiece (5) on its roof forming part of its support arcade is characterized in that it comprises, with symmetry with respect to the median traction plane of the booth or to the median plane of the set of flexible tension members (17), at least two rigid rods (9) mounted sliding on the crosspiece (5) on one side and approximately parallel to the latter and able to be moved in an active outgoing position projecting from the crosspiece (5) so as to come opposite and simultaneously in contact with a corresponding stop (23) fixed at an adequate height on the booth guide rail (21), and in an inactive incoming position where they are out of range of said stop (23) corresponding to the normal functioning of the elevator.
Abstract:
An elevator system includes guide rail mounted machine (16) and a sheave assembly( 32) that accommodates a guide rail (38) within a hoistway. The inventive sheave assembly includes individual sheave portions (54) rotatable along a common axis. At least two of the sheave portions are spaced apart along a shaft (50) and a portion of the guide rail extends toward the axis beyond a plane formed tangent to the outside diameter of the sheave portions.
