  • Patent number: 10227208
    Abstract: A safety apparatus for elevator apparatuses which can move a cab via a drive including a monitoring unit for monitoring at least one of the drive and/or the motor regulation system of the drive, a safety device having at least two sensors, which can be switched between at least two switching states depending on a state, in particular a closing state. In order to be able to reduce operating costs, at least one of the safety device and the monitoring unit includes a controller, which is designed to identify the respective switching states of the sensors, and to transmit at least one of data and monitoring signals to the monitoring unit.

  • Patent number: 8899383
    Abstract: A safety apparatus for elevator apparatuses which can move a cab by way of a drive, including: a first safety circuit, which has a closed conduction state and an open conduction state, with an interrupting apparatus for interrupting the drive depending on the conduction state of the first safety circuit, a safety device, which includes at least two sensors, which can be switched between at least two switching states depending on the closing state of the elevator door. In order to be able to improve the susceptibility to maintenance, a switching unit is provided which can be switched between at least two switching states by connection to the safety device and is designed to effect the closed and/or open conduction state of the first safety circuit.

  • Patent number: 8820482
    Abstract: Safety apparatus for elevator apparatuses which can move a cab via a drive, wherein the drive can be monitored via a monitoring unit for monitoring the drive, including: a first safety circuit, which has a closed conduction state and an open conduction state, with an interruption apparatus for interrupting the drive depending on the conduction state of the first safety circuit, a safety device, which includes at least two sensors, which can be switched between at least two switching states depending on a state to be detected by the sensors. To provide improved maintenance, a switching unit is provided, which can be switched between at least two switching states by connection to the safety device and is designed to effect the closed and/or open conduction state of the first safety circuit, wherein the switching unit includes a transmission device for transmitting data and/or monitoring signals to the monitoring unit.

  • Patent number: 8672099
    Abstract: A sensor for safety apparatuses for elevator apparatuses which can move a cab by means of a drive, the sensor including a contact bridge and a contact receptacle for receiving the contact bridge, said contact bridge being arranged in such a way that the closing state of the elevator door can be determined by connection of the contact receptacle and the contact bridge. In order to be able to improve in particular the susceptibility to maintenance, the sensor is in the form of an optical sensor which comprises a transmitter for transmitting an optical signal and a receiver for receiving the optical signal, the transmitter and the receiver being arranged on the contact receptacle and the contact bridge comprising at least one transmission element for transmitting the optical signal.
