  • Patent number: 7562745
    Abstract: An elevator in which a driving apparatus, a traction sheave, and a counterweight-side rope hitching portion are arranged above one rail of the right and left cage-side guide rails, while a cage-side rope hitching portion and a speed governor are arranged above the other rail of the right and left cage-side guide rails. Since a control panel is arranged along a rear inner wall surface of the machine room, a large operation space can be secured in a center part of the floor of the machine room. Further, since a machine beam can be extended at full length in the back and forth direction in the machine room, no additional building-side receiving beam is needed.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7413055
    Abstract: In an elevator, a drive device, a traction sheave, and a weight-side stop portion are arranged above one of a pair of left and right cage-side guide rails, and a cage-side stop portion and speed governor are arranged above the other cage-side guide rail. A wide workspace is realized in the middle of the floor of the machinery chamber, since the control panel is arranged along the middle of the inside wall surface of the front face of the machinery chamber. Furthermore, provision of an additional supporting beam mounted in the building is unnecessary, since the machine beam can extend fully in the forwards/rearwards direction in the interior of the machinery chamber.

  • Patent number: 7383924
    Abstract: Rubber vibration isolators are held between a base frame supporting a driving device and an upper deflecting sheave, and a support connected to car guide rails and a counterweight guide rail. The rubber vibration isolators are held between a horizontal member and vertical members of a support frame supporting lower deflecting sheaves. Transmission of vibrations generated by the driving device, the upper deflecting sheave, and the lower deflecting sheaves to the side walls of an elevator shaft can be intercepted.

  • Publication number: 20070175707
    Abstract: In an elevator according to the present invention, a driving apparatus 42, a traction sheave 41, and a counterweight-side rope hitching portion 46 are arranged above one rail 21L of the right and left cage-side guide rails, while a cage-side rope hitching portion 44 and a speed governor 47 are arranged above the other rail 21R of the right and left cage-side guide rails. Since a control panel 48 is arranged along a rear inner wall surface 34 of the machine room, a large operation space can be secured in a center part of the floor 31 of the machine room 30. Further, since a machine beam 53 can be extended at full length in the back and forth direction in the machine room 30, no additional building-side receiving beam is needed.

  • Publication number: 20050178621
    Abstract: A drive device (42), a traction sheave (41) and a weight-side stop portion (46) are arranged above one (21L) of a pair of left and right cage-side guide rails and a cage-side stop portion (44) and speed governor (47) are arranged above the other (21R) cage-side guide rail. Also a wide workspace can be guaranteed in the middle of the floor (31) of the machinery chamber (30), since the control panel (48) is arranged along the middle of the inside wall surface (37) of the front face of the machinery chamber (30). Furthermore, provision of an additional supporting beam mounted in the building is unnecessary, since the machine beam (53) can extend fully in the forwards/rearwards direction in the interior of the machinery chamber (30).
