  • Piston-type passenger conveying system
    Patent number: 6520295
    Abstract: A piston-type passenger conveying system includes at least three cabs to move between two floors. A control moves the cabs such that a cab is always waiting at each of said floors, and another cab is always moving to a floor. In this way, the system achieves the passenger flow benefits of an escalator with the inherent benefits of an elevator system.

  • Rotatable elevator system
    Patent number: 6354404
    Abstract: A rotating passenger conveying system includes a central rotating column which drives a number of cabs to rotate about an axis. The cabs are also movable along the axis between a first and second floor. The central column rotates continuously, and the cabs are cyclically moved between the two floors. Passengers can enter a cab at one of the floors, and cab will then rotate to a movement zone. In the movement zone the cab will move to the other floor. The movement and flow of passengers in this system is continuous, and thus, the throughput of passengers in the rotating passenger conveying system is closer to an escalator system than to an elevator.
