Abstract
An elevator system includes a hoistway including a hoistway wall and a bottom portion, the hoistway wall including a protrusion projecting from the hoistway wall inside the hoistway, a vertical moving member ascending and descending the hoistway without interfering with the protrusion, and a control panel for controlling the movement of the vertical moving member, the control panel being disposed within the hoistway and in an overlapping relationship with a projected region of the protrusion, projected in the direction of movement of the vertical moving member. The space within the hoistway is efficiently utilized and easy maintenance of the elevator system is provided.
Claims8
An elevator system comprising:
- a hoistway including a hoistway wall and a bottom portion, said hoistway wall including a face and a protrusion projecting from said face into the hoistway;
- a vertical moving member ascending and descending within the hoistway along a direction generally parallel to said face and not interfered with by said protrusion, wherein said protrusion is at least one member selected from the group consisting of a landing floor door mechanism and a building structural member disposed within a range of movement of the vertical moving member;
- and
- a control panel for controlling movement of said vertical moving member, said control panel being disposed within the hoistway on said face, wherein
- an area of said control panel projected along the direction of movement of said vertical moving member overlaps an area produced by projection of said protrusion along the direction of movement of said vertical moving member,
- said face of said hoistway wall includes a plurality of openings arranged along the direction of movement of said vertical moving member for providing access to said vertical moving member,
- said protrusion projects into the hoistway from said face farther than said control panel projects into the hoistway from said face, and
- said control panel is located in the hoistway between two of the openings.
An elevator system comprising:
- a hoistway including a hoistway wall and a bottom portion, said hoistway wall including a face and a landing floor sill resting within the hoistway and spaced apart from the face;
- a vertical moving member ascending and descending within the hoistway along a direction generally parallel to said face and not interfered with by said landing floor sill;
- and
- a control panel for controlling movement of said vertical moving member, said control panel being disposed within the hoistway on said face, wherein an area of said control panel projected along the direction of movement of said vertical moving member overlaps an area produced by projection of said landing floor sill along the direction of movement of said vertical moving member.
