Structure for a guide pillar system of a pneumatic vacuum elevator

A structure (10) for a guide pillar system of a pneumatic vacuum elevator (280), wherein the structure (10) comprises:

• a central hollow pillar section (20) positioned in an external cylinder (135) of the pneumatic vacuum elevator (280), wherein the central hollow pillar section (20) comprises:
• at least four sides comprising a first side (30), a second side (40), a third side (50), and a fourth side (60);
• and
• at least three grooved rib profiles (70) adapted to mechanically couple the central hollow pillar section (20) to one or more elevator components using a screwing mechanism,
• wherein each of the at least three grooved rib profiles (70) are attached to an inner surface of the first side (30), the second side (40), and the third side (50);
• and
• at least one curved section (200) positioned at a first predefined portion of an outer surface of the first side (30) or the third side (50), wherein the at least one curved section (200) is adapted to provide structural integrity and a radius edge to a first edge of the fourth side (60) of the central hollow pillar section (20),
• wherein the fourth side (60) comprises a second edge, wherein the second edge is adapted to receive an elevator door (240) of the external cylinder (135) of the pneumatic vacuum elevator (280);
• at least one single lip channeled section (220) positioned at a second predefined portion of the outer surface of the first side (30) when the at least one curved section (200) is positioned on the third side (50) or the third side (50) when the at least one curved section (200) is positioned on the first side (30),
• wherein the at least one single lip channeled section (220) comprises a first wall (110) and a second wall (120), wherein the at least one single lip channeled section (220) is adapted to:
• receive and support a covering sheet (190) of the external cylinder (135) of the pneumatic vacuum elevator (280) at the first wall (110);
• and
• receive and support a rubber beading (180) at the second wall (120).

A pneumatic vacuum elevator (280) with a structure (10) for a guide pillar system comprising:

• an elevator cabin (140) adapted to carry a passenger for transiting across one or more floors of a building;
• an external cylinder (135) positioned concentrically to the elevator cabin (140) externally, wherein the external cylinder (135) comprises an elevator door (240) adapted to allow entry and exit of the passenger corresponding to the elevator cabin (140);
• the structure (10) for the guide pillar system mechanically coupled to the elevator cabin (140), wherein the structure (10) comprises:
• a central hollow pillar section (20) positioned in the external cylinder (135) of the pneumatic vacuum elevator (280), wherein the central hollow pillar section (20) comprises:
• at least four sides comprising a first side (30), a second side (40), a third side (50), and a fourth side (60);
• and
• at least three grooved rib profiles (70) adapted to mechanically couple the central hollow pillar section (20) to one or more elevator components using a screwing mechanism,
• wherein each of the at least three grooved rib profiles (70) are attached to an inner surface of the first side (30), the second side (40), and the third side (50);
• and
• at least one curved section (200) positioned at a first predefined portion of an outer surface of the first side (30) or the third side (50), wherein the at least one curved section (200) is adapted to provide structural integrity and a radius edge to a first edge of the fourth side (60) of the central hollow pillar section (20),
• wherein the fourth side (60) comprises a second edge, wherein the second edge is adapted to receive an elevator door (240) of the external cylinder (135) of the pneumatic vacuum elevator (280).
