Abstract
An apparatus for synchronizing a telescopic ram in a hydraulic elevator in which two or more pistons and a cylinder are simultaneously extended from and retracted into a foot portion mounted at the bottom of an elevator shaft includes a connecting cable which is fixed on one end to the shaft wall and on the other to one of the pistons and the cylinder and is deflected over a roller used for the synchronization. The connecting cable is a sheathed synthetic fiber cable.
Claims10
An apparatus for the synchronization of a telescopic ram mounted in a hydraulic elevator shaft of a building, the telescopic ram having relatively movable portions including at least two concentric pistons in a cylinder, the pistons and the cylinder being movably slidable-relative to one another, the apparatus comprising:
- a connecting means adapted to be fixed at one end to the building and at an opposite end to one of the movable portions of the ram and deflected over at least one deflecting roller mounted to another of the movable portions of the ram, said connecting means being formed as a sheathed synthetic fiber cable;
- and
- said at least one deflecting roller having a diameter in a range of 10 to 17 times a diameter of said cable, said cable extending partially about said one deflecting roller, whereby when said one deflecting roller is mounted on the another movable portion of the telescopic ram, said one end of said cable is attached to the building and said opposite end of said cable is attached to the one movable portion of the ram, said connecting means causes the one movable portion and the another movable portion to move synchronously as the ram is extended and retracted.
A telescopic ram for use in a hydraulic elevator shaft in a building comprising:
- a cylinder for mounting in the hydraulic elevator shaft;
- at least three pistons cooperating with said cylinder for extension from and retraction into said cylinder;
- at least three rollers;
- and
- at least two cables wherein a first one of said rollers is rotatably mounted on a second one of said pistons, a first one of said cables is deflected over said first roller and has opposite ends attached to the building and a third one of said pistons, a second one of said rollers is rotatably mounted on said third piston, a third one of said rollers is rotatably mounted on said cylinder, and a second one of said cables is deflected over said second and third rollers and has opposite ends attached to a wall of the shaft and said third piston, said cables being formed as a sheathed synthetic fiber cable.
