Patent number: 11332346Abstract: Elevator door coupling systems are described. The systems include a car door lock having a coupling element and a lock element, the lock element operably connected to a latch for locking the car door lock and a landing door lock having a movable plate, a first contact element mounted to the movable plate and configured to engage with the coupling element and a second contact element configured to engage with the lock element. In operation, the coupling element is operable to apply force to the first contact element and cause the movable plate to rotate and as the movable plate rotates, the second contact element applies force to the lock element to urge the latch from a locked position to an unlocked position.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2019Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignee: OTIS ELEVATOR COMPANYInventors: Guillaume Montigny, Sebastien Fougeron, Amine Badaoui

Patent number: 9302886Abstract: An elevator door assembly includes car and hoistway door subassemblies. The car door subassembly includes: a car door, a door mover, and first and second vanes supported for movement relative to the car door. The hoistway door subassembly includes: a hoistway door; a locking member that selectively locks the hoistway door; and a coupler member associated with the locking member. When the car door is adjacent the hoistway door: the first vane moves into contact with the coupler member and causes the locking member to move into an unlocked position, prior to movement of the car and hoistway doors; and the second vane is retained in a non-blocking position by the coupler member. When the car door is not adjacent the hoistway door, movement of the car door toward the open position moves the second vane into a blocking position in which further movement of the car door is inhibited.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2010Date of Patent: April 5, 2016Assignee: Otis Elevator CompanyInventors: Jean-Pierre Tantis, Amine Badaoui, Franky Mias, Philippe Ducas
