Abstract
An elevator cable cleaning apparatus employing wire brushes. The brushes are securely mounted to brush frame members which are in turn adjustably connected to mounting members. The mounting members are adjustably connected to the legs or frame of the hoist machine of the elevator brush frame members. The adjustable connection of the mounting members allows the brushes to be configured to match the angle of the cables. The apparatus can be configured either in a single or dual brush assembly in order respectively clean one side or opposite sides of the cables.

An apparatus for cleaning elevator cables, the cables being coupled to a hoist machine for raising and lowering an elevator car, the apparatus comprising:
- a brush mounting support;
- a wire brush securely coupled to the brush mounting support;
- two transverse mounting members, the brush mounting support being adjustably coupled between and along the length of the two transverse mounting members and the wire brush being adjustably coupled to and along the length of the brush mounting support, and each of the two transverse mounting members capable of adjustable coupling to the hoist machine.
An apparatus for cleaning elevator cables, the cables being coupled to a hoist machine for raising and lowering an elevator car, the apparatus comprising:
- a first and a second brush mounting support;
- a first wire brush securely coupled to the first brush mounting support, the first wire brush having bristles;
- a second wire brush securely coupled to the second brush mounting support, the second wire brush having bristles;
- and
- two transverse mounting members, the first brush mounting support being adjustably coupled between the two transverse mounting members and being so placed that the bristles of the first brush contact an inside surface of the cables, the second brush mounting support being adjustably coupled between the two transverse mounting members and being so placed that the bristles of the second brush contact an outside surface of the cables, each of the two transverse mounting members being adjustably coupled to the hoist machine.
