Patent number: 10640330Abstract: A safety device of a lift system may include a car, an evaluation device, and a measuring device. Conditions where departure from a door zone with an open car door or where impermissible accelerations/speeds are reached within the door zone are identifiable by way of the evaluation device and output signals from the measuring device. In such conditions, a control signal may be generated for braking the car. A safety circuit may be connected to the evaluation device and ensure a first safe zone in a shaft head of a lift shaft during an inspection run. The safety circuit may have a safety switch, and the car may include a tripping means for tripping the safety switch. The safety switch and the tripping means have a first relative position upon which the first safe zone is based, and entry of the car into the first safe zone during the inspection run is preventable by tripping the safety switch, which leads to generation of the control signal and braking of the car.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2016Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignees: THYSSENKRUPP ELEVATOR AG, THYSSENKRUPP AGInventor: Michael Krämer
