  • Publication number: 20210155448
    Abstract: A lift system includes at least one travel rail mounted in a shaft, and a lift car having a chassis that is disposed on and movable along the travel rail in a travel direction. Also mounted in the shaft is a slotted hollow conductor having a slot defined therein extending in the travel direction. A holding arrangement that holds a cabin antenna extending therefrom is further coupled to, and movable with, the lift car in the travel direction, such that the cabin antenna protrudes into an interior of the slotted hollow conductor through the slot, and is movable along the length of the slot as the car moves in the travel direction. An antenna guide extends parallel to the travel direction of the lift car and is configured to guide the cabin antenna in the slot of the slotted hollow conductor.

  • Publication number: 20200189880
    Abstract: A stator rail segment, which may be used in a linear drive of an elevator system along a drive axis, may have a predetermined segment length and may include multiple coil interfaces arranged along the drive axis for receiving a respective coil unit. A shaft interface may be configured to secure the stator rail segment in an elevator shaft at a given assembly position with respect to the drive axis. The stator rail segment may also include a position adapter for adapting an assembly position of the coil units relative to the drive axis relative to the given assembly position.

  • Publication number: 20190367331
    Abstract: An elevator system may include at least two elevator cars that are movable along a common rail section on a wall. The common rail section may comprise a plurality of rail segments arranged consecutively along a direction of travel of the elevator cars. Furthermore, the rail section may comprise at least one first rotary segment. A first rail segment of the plurality of rail segments may be arranged adjacent to the first rotary segment. The first rail segment may be fixed to the wall via a first fixed bearing such that the first rail segment is fixed in all three directions in space with respect to the wall. The first fixed bearing may be positioned at an end of the first rail segment that faces the first rotary segment.

  • Patent number: 9260275
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a coupling gear device for entraining a shaft door by means of an elevator car door that can be actuated by a door drive for elevator devices, comprising entrainment means (110) provided on the side of the elevator car door and counter entrainment means (210) arranged on the side of the shaft door. The counter entrainment means can be acted on by the entrainment means (110) for entraining the shaft door, wherein the entrainment means (110) and/or the counter entrainment means (210) can be lowered at least partially in the elevator car door or the shaft door.
