Patent number: 10766741Abstract: A method for monitoring a conveying system with a monitoring device includes recording a signal pattern progression in relation to a functional unit of the conveying system. A reference signal progression is stored in a database as is a correlation data set for the reference signal progression, the correlation data set including instants or time segments in the reference signal progression and reference to the functional unit. The reference is linked to each instant or time segment, the recorded signal pattern progression is compared with the reference signal progression by a processing unit, and in the event of deviation between the signal progressions an entry in the correlation data set belonging to the reference signal progression is determined by the processing unit on the basis of an instant or time segment of such a deviation, and the functional unit referenced there is output as a cause.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2016Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: INVENTIO AGInventor: Claudio De Angelis

Patent number: 8360208Abstract: A synthetic fiber rope can be used to the limit of failure by setting a sensitivity of detection of the state of wear of the rope. Strands of the rope have indicator fibers or indicator yarn that have a high probability of losing electrical conductivity and thereby indicate a worn cable. The indicator yarn consists of indicator fibers and of synthetic fibers, the indicator yarn fibers being inferior in relation to stress than the synthetic fibers of the strands.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2007Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: Inventio AGInventor: Claudio De Angelis

Patent number: 7757472Abstract: A synthetic fiber cable has the strands of a strand layer mutually spaced apart. With the mutual spacing, the strands of the outer strand layer can move radially in the direction of the cable center and exert a radial pressure on the strands of the first inner strand layer. The radial pressure is passed on from the strands of the first inner strand layer to the strands of the second inner strand layer. The radial pressure is passed on from the strands of the second inner strand layer to the core strand. The radial pressure increases inwardly from strand layer to strand layer. The soft cable sheathing does not act as a support between the strands in circumferential direction.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2007Date of Patent: July 20, 2010Assignee: Inventio AGInventors: Florian Dold, Adolf Bissig, Alessandro D'Apice, Herbert Bachmann, Manfred Wirth, Tobias Noseda, Roland Lorenz, Claudio De Angelis

Strands of the rope have indicator fibers or indicator yarn that have a high probability of losing electrical conductivity and thereby indicate cable wear. The matrix of the strand with indicator fibers or with at least one indicator yarn has a lower resistance to abrasion than the matrix of the other strands without indicator fibers or indicator yarns.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2007Date of Patent: February 23, 2010Assignee: Inventio AGInventor: Claudio De Angelis

Patent number: 7578035Abstract: In an elevator installation, an apparatus and a method use a support end connection for fastening a support device to an elevator car, a counterweight and/or a building. The support device has at least one cable or cable strand enclosed by a cable casing and is held in a wedge pocket by a wedge. The cable casing is formed of thermoplastic material or an elastomer and the cable or the cable strand is glued to, fused together with or mechanically connected with the cable casing in the region of the support end connection. A friction force transmitted from the support end connection to the cable casing can then be directly passed on to the load-bearing core of the support device, to the cables or to the cable strands. The tolerable tension force in the support device is increased. The support device is preferably a multiple cable.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2006Date of Patent: August 25, 2009Assignee: Inventio AGInventors: Florian Dold, Adolf Bissig, Manfred Wirth, Claudio De Angelis

Patent number: 7326139Abstract: A belt has at least two fiber strands which have synthetic fiber threads twisted in themselves and are designed for acceptance of force in longitudinal direction. The strands are arranged at a spacing relative to one another along the longitudinal direction of the belt and are embedded in a belt casing. At least one of the strands comprises an electrically conductive indicator thread which is twisted together with the synthetic fiber threads of the strand, wherein the indicator thread is arranged outside the center of the fiber bundle. The indicator thread has a breaking elongation (?ult,Ind) which is smaller than the breaking elongation (?ult,Trag) of individual synthetic fiber threads of the strand. It can be electrically contacted so that an electrical monitoring of the integrity thereof is made possible.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2005Date of Patent: February 5, 2008Assignee: Inventio AGInventors: Roland Eichhorn, Claudio De Angelis, Karl Weinberger

Patent number: 6608487Abstract: A contact-connecting device connects more than two indicator fibers in an electrically conducting manner to create a conducting connection of the indicator fibers at the end of a safety-monitored synthetic fiber rope made from electrically insulating synthetic fibers and the electrically conducting indicator fibers. A fastener fixes the contact-connecting device and the indicator fibers relative to one another, which creates a low-cost and reliable contact-connection.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2000Date of Patent: August 19, 2003Assignee: Inventio AGInventor: Claudio De Angelis

Patent number: 6513792Abstract: In a rope deflection, such as preferably a traction sheave drive for an elevator, the diameter at the rope contacting surface and the lay length of a synthetic fiber rope passing over it are related to each other in such a way that within the angle of wrap of the rope, each of the strands of the covering layer of strands lies on the traction sheave at least three times. This relationship achieves a permanently reliable rope drive with a synthetic fiber rope for use on pulleys or traction sheaves, with which irreversible displacements of strands in the covering layer of strands of the synthetic rope can be reliably avoided.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2000Date of Patent: February 4, 2003Assignee: Inventio AGInventor: Claudio De Angelis

Patent number: 6508051Abstract: A synthetic fiber rope to be driven by a rope sheave is constructed as a twin rope consisting of two ropes with opposite directions of twist which extend parallel to and a fixed distance from each other. The ropes are surrounded by a rope sheath so as not to rotate when the twin rope runs over a rope sheave. The sheave acts as a torque neutralizer which, when the twin rope is loaded longitudinally, mutually offsets the oppositely oriented torques of the ropes which arise due to the structure of the rope, thereby causing over the entire cross-section of the twin rope equalization of the torques from the sum of all the parts having right-hand twist strands and all the parts having left-hand twist strands.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2000Date of Patent: January 21, 2003Assignee: Inventio AGInventor: Claudio De Angelis

Patent number: 6397574Abstract: A synthetic rope has multiple layers of load-bearing aramide fiber strands laid together with a coating on the synthetic fiber strands in the outermost layer of strands. The coating includes an impregnating substance with additives of UV stabilizers, short fibers, and oxidation and reduction blockers to provide reliable protection against environmental influences damaging to the rope, as well as an unchanged adequate resistance of the synthetic fiber rope to abrasion.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 1999Date of Patent: June 4, 2002Assignee: Inventio AgInventor: Claudio De Angelis
