An elevator traveling cable hanger assembly for use with an elevator is provided. The elevator traveling cable hanger assembly includes a base structure configured for attachment to an elevator hoistway structure. An insert is configured for attachment to the base structure and further configured to support an elevator traveling cable. A plurality of wire rope clips are configured to support a traveling cable core extending from the elevator traveling cable. A plurality of fasteners are configured to secure the base structure, insert, elevator traveling cable and plurality of wire rope clips to the elevator hoistway structure.

A deflector sheave mounting bracket for mounting a plurality of individual deflector sheaves of an elevator system includes a top plate, a bottom plate, and a plurality of support plates connected at a first end to the top plate and connected at a second, opposite end to the bottom plate. A plurality of openings for receiving the plurality of deflector sheaves is defined between pairs of adjacent support plates of the plurality of support plates. At least one opening of the plurality of openings is vertically offset and horizontally offset from another of the plurality of openings.

A traction rope adjustment apparatus includes a traction rope pressing device, and a traction rope pulley apparatus. The traction rope lifting apparatus prevents the traction rope sagging, the traction rope pressing apparatus prevents the traction rope drifting, and the traction rope pulley apparatus enables a car and the counterweight to smoothly pass through the traction rope pressing apparatus, thereby implementing forced guidance of the traction rope and the reliable and smooth running of the car and counterweight. The apparatus can meet the demands of variable gradients and can implement reliable running of an inclined running container in variable gradients, such that the traction rope adapts to the different gradients, solving the challenge of the development of an inclined running container that self-adapts to gradients.

A method for creating a termination by attaching some kind of fitting to the end of a tensile member such as a cable. The end fitting is provided with one or more internal cavities. Each cavity has a proximal portion that is adjacent to the area where the tensile member exits the fitting and a distal portion on its opposite end. A length of the tensile member's filaments is placed within this expanding cavity and infused with liquid potting compound. The method exploits the characteristic of a liquid potting compound as it transitions to a solid. Once the potting compound in at least a portion of the cavity has transitioned sufficiently to hold the filaments at a desired level, tension is placed on the tensile member and a small linear displacement may be imposed on the tensile member. This linear displacement tends to pull the filaments residing in the potting compound into better alignment and improve load sharing. The invention can be applied to single fittings having multiple cavities and to multiple fittings having only one cavity per fitting.

The invention relates to a clamp or termination for a coated elevator rope in an elevator. When coated elevator ropes are used electrostatic charge may build up in the ropes due to the insulating coating. These charges generate repelling or attracting forces between the parallel ropes, which hampers the correct miming of the ropes in the pulleys and in extreme cases may derail the coated elevator ropes. The wedge and socket clamps according the invention discriminate themselves from prior art wedge and socket clamps in that the piercing instruments are provided in the low tension zone of the clamp. These piercing instruments can take the form of pins, fins or other protrusions and establish an electrical connection between the wedge and the conductive tensile member. Such an elevator clamp allows to leak static electricy being build up or allows wear detection per elevator rope.
