Abstract: An elevator system (2) comprises an elevator car (4a-d) that is moveable within a hoistway (6a-d). The elevator car (4a-d) comprises a first wireless communication unit (12a-d). A controller (8a-d) is arranged to communicate with the elevator car (4a-d) , the controller (8a-d) comprising a second wireless communication unit (14a-d). The first and second wireless communication units (12a-d, 14a-d) are arranged to exchange elevator operational data using a wireless communication protocol. Each data symbol within a set of data symbols corresponding to the elevator operational data is modulated onto a plurality of orthogonal sub-carriers using an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing modulation scheme. The modulated plurality of orthogonal sub-carriers are transmitted between the first and second wireless communication units (12a-d, 14a-d) over a wireless interface (16a-d).

Abstract: A guidance mechanism for an elevator car is constructed and arranged to move along a lane defined at least in-part between two opposing first and second lane structures of a stationary structure. The guidance mechanism includes a first support structure supported by the first lane structure. The first support structure includes a first retainer face disposed between the elevator car and the first lane structure that substantially faces the first lane structure, and is spaced from the first lane structure. A first retention device of the mechanism is disposed, at least in part, between the first retainer face and the first lane structure. The first retention device is supported by the elevator car and is constructed and arranged to contact the first retainer face for limiting lateral movement of the elevator car away from the first lane structure and toward the second lane structure.

Abstract: A transfer station (40) for a ropeless elevator system includes a plurality of lanes (13) configured to accommodate vertical travel of an elevator car (14) therein. Also included is a parking area (42) located adjacent at least one of the plurality of lanes (13). Further included is a carriage (46) moveable between the plurality of lanes (13) and the parking area (42), the carriage (46) configured to support and move the elevator car (14) in a horizontal direction. Yet further included is a car (14) disengagement mechanism (50) engageable with the elevator car (14) for disengagement of the elevator car (14) from a primary propulsion mechanism of the car (14) within the plurality of lanes (13) and for movement of the elevator car (14) between at least one of the plurality of lanes (13) and the parking area (42).

Abstract: An illustrative example elevator assembly includes a header beam and a first elevator cab supported by the header beam. A plurality of vertically oriented rods extend beneath the first elevator cab. A horizontally oriented mid-beam is coupled to a first one of the rods near a first end of the mid-beam and coupled to a second one of the rods near a second end of the mid-beam. A second elevator cab is situated beneath the first elevator cab and beneath the mid-beam. At least one linear actuator is supported at least partially on the mid-beam. The linear actuator selectively causes vertical movement of the second elevator cab relative to the rods.
