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.

Abstract: An elevator has a machineroom of a comparatively low height so designed that a sufficiently large working space necessary for inspection and maintenance work is available in the machineroom and a hoist cable can be wound round a traction sheave disposed in the machineroom at a large contact angle. The elevator has a cage provided with front and back cage-side sheaves and suspended for vertical movement in an elevator shaft, and a counterweight that moves vertically in a space behind a vertical plane containing the back wall of the cage in the elevator shaft. The traction sheave and a drive unit for driving the traction sheave are disposed in the machineroom with their axes laterally extended. The back cage-side sheave lies below the traction sheave.

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.

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.

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).
