Patent number: 8172041Abstract: A machineroom-less elevator in which a counterweight is vertically moved behind a cage, with the cage and the counterweight being suspended in a jig back manner through a first and second diverting sheaves. In this machineroom-less elevator, a sufficiently large vertical stroke of the counterweight can be secured, while a durability of a hoist rope is improved. In addition, since no tensile difference is generated in respective parts of the hoist rope, vertical vibrations of the cage are prevented when the cage restarts a vertical movement. A traction sheave is disposed on one of right and left sidewalls of an elevator shaft. A first diverting sheave is disposed below and sufficiently apart from the traction sheave, and a second diverting sheave is disposed on a top of a rear wall of the elevator shaft.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2004Date of Patent: May 8, 2012Assignee: Toshiba Elevator Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kan Kawasaki, Ikuo Asami, Takashi Ishii, Shun Fujimura, Satoshi Takasawa

Patent number: 7562745Abstract: An elevator in which a driving apparatus, a traction sheave, and a counterweight-side rope hitching portion are arranged above one rail of the right and left cage-side guide rails, while a cage-side rope hitching portion and a speed governor are arranged above the other rail of the right and left cage-side guide rails. Since a control panel is arranged along a rear inner wall surface of the machine room, a large operation space can be secured in a center part of the floor of the machine room. Further, since a machine beam can be extended at full length in the back and forth direction in the machine room, no additional building-side receiving beam is needed.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2004Date of Patent: July 21, 2009Assignee: Toshiba Elevator Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takashi Ishii, Kazuaki Miyakoshi, Shigeru Takaishi, Hiroshi Sano, Kan Kawasaki, Ikuo Asami, Kazuhiro Izumi, Takanori Urata, Shun Fujimura, Masayuki Higashi, Satoshi Takasawa, Masahiro Kuramitsu

Patent number: 7413055Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2004Date of Patent: August 19, 2008Assignee: Toshiba Elevator Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kan Kawasaki, Ikuo Asami, Takashi Ishii, Kazuaki Miyakoshi, Masahiro Kuramitsu, Kazuhiro Izumi, Hiroshi Sano, Shigeru Takaishi, Shun Fujimura, Takanori Urata, Satoshi Takasawa, Masayuki Higashi

Patent number: 7350623Abstract: An elevator door apparatus includes an engaging device which engages car doors with hall doors. The engaging device uses a spring unit to urge a movable vane provided in each of the car doors. While the doors are moving, engaging rollers supported by the hall doors are sandwiched between the movable vane and a fixed vane. Thus, the driving forces of the car doors are transmitted to the hall doors. When the hall doors reach a door stop position, the movable vane is moved away from the fixed vane. Thus, the car doors are disengaged from the hall doors. At this time, a direction in which the elastic force of the spring mechanism acts is switched. Consequently, the car doors and the hall doors are stably held so that the car doors remain disengaged from the hall doors.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2006Date of Patent: April 1, 2008Assignee: Toshiba Elevator Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Tooru Kinoshita, Seiichi Someya, Satoshi Takasawa, Shin Murakami, Yoshinobu Ishikawa

Publication number: 20070175707Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2004Publication date: August 2, 2007Applicant: Toshiba Elevator Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takashi Ishii, Kazuaki Miyakoshi, Shigeru Takaishi, Hiroshi Sano, Kan Kawasaki, Ikuo Asami, Kazuhiro Izumi, Takanori Urata, Shun Fujimura, Masayuki Higashi, Satoshi Takasawa, Masahiro Kuramitsu

Publication number: 20060191749Abstract: A hall door apparatus of an elevator includes a gate frame, a doorsill, and a door panel. The gate frame is provided in an entrance port between an elevator hall of a building and an elevator shaft. The doorsill is arranged in a lower portion of the gate frame. The door panel is of a biparting door type, and is set on the doorsill to face the gate frame. Sealing members are made of an elastic material such as a rubber, and seal gaps between the door panel and a jamb portion and header panel portion of the gate frame, and between the door panel and the doorsill.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2006Publication date: August 31, 2006Inventors: Koyu Sasaki, Seiichi Someya, Takehito Nishida, Satoshi Takasawa

Publication number: 20060163009Abstract: An elevator system having no machineroom is provided in which a height of a pit in a bottom of an elevator shaft can be reduced, a maintenance operation can be carried out at one on an upper part of the cage, and cage-side sheaves and cage-side guide rails can be disposed symmetrically with respect to the center of gravity of the cage. The elevator system having no machineroom includes a pair of right and left cage-side sheaves 16L and 16R disposed above a cage 10, and a traction sheave 17 disposed behind a cage-side guide rail 11L. The pair of right and left cage-side sheaves 16L and 16R are disposed such that each rotational angle of the pair of right and left cage-side sheaves 16L and 16R is extended parallel to a rotational axis of the traction sheave, or extended at a direction angle close to that of the rotational axis of the traction sheave.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2003Publication date: July 27, 2006Applicant: TOSHIBA ELEVATOR KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Takashi Ishii, Kan Kawasaki, Ikuo Asami, Satoshi Takasawa, Shun Fujimura
