Patent number: 10005645Abstract: An exemplary elevator assembly includes an elevator car having a frame member. At least one toe guard panel is moveable between a first position and a second position. In the first position the toe guard panel is situated to provide a vertical surface beneath the elevator car and the toe guard panel has an end spaced a first distance from the elevator car. In the second position the toe guard panel is situated with a second, shorter distance between the end and the elevator car. A moving mechanism coupled with the toe guard panel selectively moves the toe guard panel from the first position into the second position. An instigator member situated in a selected vertical position interacts with the moving mechanism to begin movement of the toe guard panel from the first position when the frame member of the elevator car is approximately at the selected vertical position.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2016Date of Patent: June 26, 2018Assignee: OTIS ELEVATOR COMPANYInventors: Etienne Delachatre, Juan Antonio Quiles Manzanas, Agustin Jimenez-Gonzalez, Antonio de Miguel Urquijo

Publication number: 20170144862Abstract: A car panel for an elevator car, a method for assembling an elevator car, and an elevator system are disclosed. The car panel of the elevator car includes a lower portion, the lower portion attached to a floor of the elevator car and an upper portion, the upper portion attached to a side panel by a hinge. The hinge allows the upper portion to displace, with respect to the lower portion, by rotating the upper portion inwardly about the hinge towards an interior space of the elevator car. Displacement of the upper portion, with respect to the lower portion, from rotating the upper portion inwardly about the hinge provides ingress to a hoistway of the elevator system.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 2, 2014Publication date: May 25, 2017Inventors: Juan Jose Fernandez, Antonio de Miguel Urquijo, Francisco Luis Sanz, Ricardo Cano-Torres, Francisco Morate

Patent number: 8028808Abstract: An assembly (30) controls the amount of downward movement of a counterweight (24) within an elevator system (20). By limiting the downward movement of the counterweight (24), a desired overhead clearance above an elevator car (22) can be maintained. One example includes at least one safety device (80, 84, 86, 88) on top of the elevator car (22) to provide an indication for when a holding member (34) should allow a stop member of the assembly (30) to move into a position to limit the downward movement of the counterweight (24). In one example, the stop member (32) moves into an employed position by the force of gravity and is manually moveable back into a retracted position when it is not needed. One example includes a guide member (60) that facilitates controlling the position of the stop member (32) when it is in the employed position.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2006Date of Patent: October 4, 2011Assignee: Otis Elevator CompanyInventors: Jose Manuel Gonzalez Rodil, Francisco Manuel Cervera Morales, Jose Juan Caballero Garcia, Fernando del Rio Sanz, Antonio De Miguel Urquijo, Andres Monzon Simon
