  • Patent number: 7413055
    Abstract: In an elevator, a drive device, a traction sheave, and a weight-side stop portion are arranged above one of a pair of left and right cage-side guide rails, and a cage-side stop portion and speed governor are arranged above the other cage-side guide rail. A wide workspace is realized in the middle of the floor of the machinery chamber, since the control panel is arranged along the middle of the inside wall surface of the front face of the machinery chamber. Furthermore, provision of an additional supporting beam mounted in the building is unnecessary, since the machine beam can extend fully in the forwards/rearwards direction in the interior of the machinery chamber.

  • Patent number: 7383921
    Abstract: An elevator including a car placed in an elevator shaft so as to move vertically along a pair of car guide rails, and a counterweight placed in the elevator shaft so as to move vertically along a pair of counterweight guide rails. A rope connects the car and the counterweight. A hoisting machine drives the rope. The hoisting machine is mounted on a base attached to the upper ends of the counterweight guide rails and the upper end of one of the pair of car guide rails.

  • Patent number: 7383924
    Abstract: Rubber vibration isolators are held between a base frame supporting a driving device and an upper deflecting sheave, and a support connected to car guide rails and a counterweight guide rail. The rubber vibration isolators are held between a horizontal member and vertical members of a support frame supporting lower deflecting sheaves. Transmission of vibrations generated by the driving device, the upper deflecting sheave, and the lower deflecting sheaves to the side walls of an elevator shaft can be intercepted.

  • Patent number: 7289684
    Abstract: A moving picture processing apparatus in which a buffer residual amount of a buffer module which buffers a plurality of image data which are inputted from the outside is monitored by a storing media control module and a decimation is performed at a decimation ratio which differs every image data, in accordance with the buffer residual amount of the buffer module and in accordance with the frame rate of each of the plurality of image data, so that it can be prevented the inconvenience that a period of time during which the image data is not recorded and cannot be reproduced occurs for a long time.

  • Publication number: 20070175707
    Abstract: In an elevator according to the present invention, a driving apparatus 42, a traction sheave 41, and a counterweight-side rope hitching portion 46 are arranged above one rail 21L of the right and left cage-side guide rails, while a cage-side rope hitching portion 44 and a speed governor 47 are arranged above the other rail 21R of the right and left cage-side guide rails. Since a control panel 48 is arranged along a rear inner wall surface 34 of the machine room, a large operation space can be secured in a center part of the floor 31 of the machine room 30. Further, since a machine beam 53 can be extended at full length in the back and forth direction in the machine room 30, no additional building-side receiving beam is needed.

  • Publication number: 20050269162
    Abstract: An elevator comprises a car (3) placed in a elevator shaft (15) so as to move vertically along a pair of car guide rails (2a, 2b), and a counterweight (10) placed in the elevator shaft (15) so as to move vertically along a pair of counterweight guide rails (1a, 1b). A rope (6a) connects the car (3) and the counterweight (10). A hoisting machine (5) drives the rope (6a). The hoisting machine is mounted on a base (9) attached to the upper ends of the counterweight guide rails (1a, 1b) and the upper end of one (2a) of the pair of car guide rails (2a, 2b).

  • Patent number: 5862587
    Abstract: The present invention presents an electronic part mounting apparatus line and electronic part mounting method of favorable line balance and high productivity, which comprises a step of acquiring the working time in plural electronic part mounting apparatuses, and a step of lowering the mounting rate of common parts A-C in the electronic part mounting apparatuses longer in working time, if there is a longer working time out of the allowable range than the other acquired working times, and raising the mounting rate of common parts in all or some of the other electronic part mounting apparatuses than these electronic part mounting apparatuses taking a longer working time.

  • Patent number: 5579572
    Abstract: A mounting apparatus mounts electronic parts on a substrate. The mounting apparatus includes an electronic part feeder having a moving table which moves along a moving path. The moving table moves a part cassette accommodating electronic parts to a pick up station. A transferring and mounting unit having a transferring and mounting head is also provided to move between the pick up station and the mounting station to retrieve the electronic part from a part pick up port of the part cassette at the pick up station. The transferring and mounting head has a nozzle for picking up an electronic part. The transferring and mounting head rotates the nozzle along a circular path. The moving path and the circular path intersect at two points at the pick up station. The pick up port of the part cassette is positioned at one of the intersecting points.
