Abstract: The invention relates to an elevator system in tall buildings, the system having at least one first elevator shaft, which houses an elevator arranged to stop at floors called transfer levels, and at least one second elevator shaft, which houses elevators whose elevator cars are disposed one above the other in the elevator shaft, which elevator cars are designed to stop during their travel at any floor to which or from which a call has been issued. The second elevator shaft is divided vertically into local shafts situated one above the other, the number of which is at least one for each zone between transfer levels.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for blowing or pushing products from a conveying member, to which end a number of spaced-apart members are employed, each being provided with a controllable air valve, or with sliding parts with a controllable driving mechanism which are mounted on an endless conveyor, belt or chain. Further, a control system has been provided in which detection members determine whether a product meets set quality requirements and when and by which member the approved products should be blown or pushed from the conveying member in such a way that the products are successively brought in predetermined arrangements or patterns.

Abstract: A low pressure gas discharge lamp with a tubular discharge vessel is provided with two separate capacitive coupling members at its ends, the discharge vessel having a small inner diameter of preferably less than 5 mm. Each coupling member has a cylindrical tube of dielectric material. The electrical connection to the coupling members is realized by pressing a spring element having an inner diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the cylindrical tube around this tube. The spring element tightly surrounds a metal body on the cylindrical tube while forming a number of contact points.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a floor number display (1, 2) informative to the elevator passenger at landing and in car when the passenger issues destination calls to the elevator.

Abstract: The invention relates to an elevator system in tall buildings, said system comprising at least one first elevator shaft (13), which houses an elevator arranged to stop at floors called transfer levels (8, 8a), and at least one second elevator shaft (14), which houses elevators whose elevator cars (22) are disposed one above the other in the elevator shaft, which elevator cars are designed to stop during their travel at any floor to which or from which a call has been issued. The second elevator shaft (14) is divided vertically into local shafts (17, 18, 19) situated one above the other, the number of which is at least one for each zone between transfer levels (8, 8a).

Abstract: The present invention pertains to carbamate-melamine formaldehyde cross-linking agents of the formula 1

Abstract: A method for braking a traction sheave elevator stops the elevator in the event of an emergency by the braking of the elevator using a braking device not comprised in the drive machine. A traction sheave elevator is provided with a braking device not comprised in the drive machine and designed to improve the efficiency of emergency stopping. The maximum force decelerating the elevator and generated by the braking device equals about half the weight of the nominal load of the elevator.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for braking a tractor sheave elevator. In an emergency situation, the elevator braking is complimented by using a second braking device not connected to the traction sheave. A secondary braking can be accomplished by applying a braking force to the elevator ropes or guide rail. If the secondary brake is applied first, the ropes will not slip on the traction sheave when the primary brake is applied. Alternatively, slippage may be allowed to occur in order to distribute the heat produced by braking.

Abstract: Elevator guide shoe for guiding an elevator car along guide rails in an elevator shaft, said guide shoe comprising a supporting frame (2) attached to the elevator car (1) and guides (4) resting against a guide rail (3). According to the invention, the guide shoe comprises an intermediate frame (5), to which the guides (4) are attached. In addition, the supporting frame (2) and the intermediate frame (5) are provided with permanent magnet bars (6a, 6b, 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b) arranged to maintain a horizontal distance between the supporting frame and the intermediate frame. Moreover, the guide shoe comprises vertical suspension (9) between the supporting frame and the intermediate frame to damp the propagation of sound in the structures.
