Abstract
In a car compartment of an elevator, a standing end section of a panel is fixed to a standing section of a car floor by a screw member which is fastened by being passed through a ventilation hole and a car floor fastening hole from the car floor side, and therefore an operator can assemble the panel on the car floor from the inside of the car compartment, and the workability of assembling the panel on the car floor is improved.
Claims11
A car compartment of an elevator, comprising:
- a car floor in which edge sections on respective sides include standing sections standing upright;
- and
- a side wall including a plurality of panels each including a lower end section fixed to one of the standing sections by a fastener;
- wherein the lower end sections each include a standing end section, and an opposing surface section which is closer to an interior of the car than the standing end section and which is connected to and opposes the standing end section;
- the standing end section includes a fastener clearance hole to receive the fastener which is oriented such that a head of the fastener faces the opposing surface section, and the standing end section further includes a car floor fastening hole which extends upwardly from the fastener clearance hole;
- the opposing surface section includes a hole which opposes the car floor fastening hole;
- the standing end section is fixed to the corresponding standing section by the fastener;
- the hole of the opposing surface section is configured to receive a tool from the car floor side such that the tool is insertable through the hole of the opposing surface section and is engageable to tighten the head of the fastener to secure the lower end section of the sidewall to the corresponding standing section of the floor;
- and
- the head of the fastener is larger than the hole of the opposing surface section of the lower end section of the sidewall.
