  • Patent number: 8066101
    Abstract: A belt device for driving an elevator is provided, the rest retaining capability of which is improved in order to retain the stopped state of an elevator cage if oil or water adheres to between a belt and a pulley. In the belt device for driving an elevator in which a belt 4 is stretched over a plurality of pulleys 1, 2, and 3, and the belt 4 is rotated by the rotations of the pulleys 1, 2, and 3, wherein the coefficient of friction of a contact surface with at least a driving pulley in the belt 4 is set to 0.6 to 3.0, and the contact surface is constructed of a rubber having a hardness (IRHD) of 65 to 95, and a wear resistance of 5 to 300 mm3 in Taber wear (ISO547-1-1999, under conditions: a wear ring of H18; a load of 1 kg; and 1000 rpm).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 26, 2005
    Date of Patent: November 29, 2011

  • Patent number: 6983826
    Abstract: An elevator drive belt, while applying a friction force thereto, drives an elevator rope which links an elevator cage and a counterweight together. A rubber hardness of the belt ranges from about 50 to 90 degrees of JIS-A hardness so as to suppress creep slip due to a shearing strain while the elevator is in operation. Even if the elevator cage and the counterweight are reduced in weight and the friction force to be applied to the elevator rope decreases due to the weight reduction, a friction force onto the elevator rope from the elevator drive belt compensates and guarantees a drive force of the elevator.
