Elevator door frame with electronics housing

An enclosure for housing electronics useful with an elevator system, comprising:

• a first vertically oriented sidewall;
• a second vertically oriented sidewall adjacent the first sidewall;
• and
• a third vertically oriented sidewall at an oblique angle to the first sidewall when the enclosure is closed, the third sidewall providing a support surface for supporting the electronics inside the enclosure, the first and second sidewalls being moveable relative to the third sidewall to provide a single opening facing the support surface, the first, second and third sidewalls having a substantially equal vertical length, an interior space within the enclosure having a length coextensive with the vertical length of the sidewalls.

An elevator doorframe assembly, comprising:

• a header;
• a first jamb member near a first end of the header;
• a second jamb member near a second end of the header, the second jamb member comprising an enclosure for supporting elevator system electronics, the enclosure comprising a first vertically oriented sidewall, a second vertically oriented sidewall adjacent the first sidewall and a third vertically oriented sidewall that is obliquely oriented relative to the first sidewall when the enclosure is closed, wherein the first and second sidewalls are moveable relative to the third sidewall to provide a single access opening into the enclosure, the sidewalls each having a vertical length that is substantially equal to the vertical length of the other two sidewalls, the vertical length extending along a substantial portion of the second jamb member;
• and
• electronics supported on at least the third sidewall, the electronics being configured to provide control over at least
• inspection procedures for an associated elevator system,
• maintenance procedures for an associated elevator system, and
• passenger assistance procedures to assist passengers of an associated elevator system.

An elevator system, comprising

• an elevator car that is moveable within a hoistway;
• and
• a plurality of doorways at landings along the hoistway,
• each of the doorways having at least one door that is selectively open or closed to selectively provide access to the hoistway or the elevator car from the landing,
• at least one of the doorways including an electronics enclosure that houses electronics that are configured to control movement of the elevator car,
• the electronics enclosure being located on one side of the at least one doorway and comprising a first sidewall, a second sidewall adjacent the first sidewall and a third sidewall that is obliquely oriented relative to the first sidewall, the first and second sidewalls being moveable relative to the third sidewall to provide a single access opening facing the third sidewall for allowing access to the electronics from a landing side of the at least one doorway,
• wherein the enclosure comprises a stop surface configured to contact the at least one door of the at least one doorway,
• wherein the first sidewall is generally parallel to the stop surface when the first sidewall is in a position to close the single access opening and the first sidewall is received at least partially against the stop surface, and
• wherein the first sidewall has a thickness that is greater than a spacing between the stop surface and an adjacent door edge of the door when the door edge is received near the stop surface.
