Patent number: 8006805Abstract: An elevator door panel for closing the opening to an elevator shaft comprising a generally planar steel sheet reinforced on the shaft side by a perimeter framework and intermediate vertical stiffening members. At its lower edge the panel includes a resilient seal member supported on a structural steel construction that is generally symmetrical about a vertical plane at a mid-section of the panel thickness.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2003Date of Patent: August 30, 2011Assignee: The Peelle Company Ltd.Inventors: Darryl J. Greenaway, Steven P. Reynolds, Richard W. Lajeunesse, Zygmunt Dziwak, David E. Kairis

Patent number: 7156210Abstract: A control system for a motorized freight elevator landing door in which all of the doors in a single line of a hoistway are controlled with one set of proximity sensors carried on the elevator car. The sensors signal a controller that operates electric motors for opening and closing the landing door where the car has stopped. The door operating motors are two speed units and the sensors and controller are arranged to operate the motors at high speed during most of the travel in opening or closing movement and at reduced speed at the end of movement. The controller applies power to the motor for a short period after the door is fully closed or open to stall the motors and thereby dampen any rebound motion.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2003Date of Patent: January 2, 2007Assignee: The Peelle Company Ltd.Inventors: Steven P. Reynolds, Richard W. Lajeunesse, Zygmunt Dziwak, David E. Kairis

Patent number: 7097003Abstract: A vertically sliding freight elevator landing door with a safety brake that deploys when a chain suspending the door breaks. The safety brake is adapted for use on both panels that slide up to open or that slide down to open. The brake, which is simple in construction and installation, comprises, principally, a caliber block fixed to the door and a roller cam assembled in the block. A spring biases the roller cam towards a wedge lock position while a cable normally holds the roller cam in an inactive position. The cable and, therefore, the roller cam are released when the associated door suspension chain breaks. The roller cam, operating between a tilted internal surface in the caliper block and a door guide rail quickly frictionally brakes the door on the guard rail.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2003Date of Patent: August 29, 2006Assignee: The Peelle Company Ltd.Inventors: Steven P.
