Abstract: An elevator apparatus is provided with an elevator path having a restricted height. Under a roping ratio of 1:1, a thin driving unit having a traction sheave 1 and a driving mechanism 2 is positioned between an inner wall 3a of the elevator path 3 and a space occupied by an elevator car 4 rising and falling in the elevator path 3. One end of a suspension rope 7 is fixed to the elevator car 4 in a position below a ceiling 4c of the elevator car 4. With the arrangement, the car 4 can move close to the ceiling 4c of the elevator car 4 effectively. Further, it is possible to reduce respective heights of the elevator path 3 and a building equipped with the elevator apparatus.

Abstract: In an elevator, a driving unit is installed at the top of an elevator shaft above a counterweight. Traction sheaves engage with ropes and are rotated by the driving device. These traction sheaves are positioned close to wall surfaces of the elevator shaft, that are adjacent to its wall surface facing the counterweight. The traction sheaves are also positioned outside the horizontally projected plane of a car.

Abstract: An elevator including a cage configured to move up and down in a shaft along a guide rail, a plurality of car sheaves installed at a bottom of the cage, a cable placed around the car sheaves and configured to suspend the cage, a hoisting machine having a traction sheave configured to drive the cable, a base extending in a width direction of the cage and configured to support the car sheaves, and a first elastic member disposed between the cage and the base so as to attenuate vibration transferred to the cage.

Abstract: An elevator including a movable unit configured to ascend and descend in an elevator shaft, a guide rail installed on the elevator shaft via a plurality of rail support members and configured to guide the movable unit, a cable configured to hang the movable unit, and a driving unit mounted on the guide rail and configured to move the movable unit up and down by driving the cable. At least two securing members fixes one of the rail support members is fixed to a wall of the shaft by securing members separated from each other by an interval in the vertical direction.
