ELEVATOR TRENCH DRAIN
A trench drain includes a trench, a grating seat and a grating hingedly connected to the trench. The trench has a base wall with peripheral side walls extending upwardly therefrom and an outwardly-extending peripheral flange. The grating seat is configured to receive the grating. The peripheral side walls of the trench have a pair of opposing elongated slots formed therein and the grating has a pair of posts on opposing ends thereof. Each of the pair of posts on the grating are received in a respective one of the pair of opposing elongated slots of the trench to establish an axis of rotation.
Modular Sills for Elevators and Methods of Assembling the Same
A modular sill assembly includes a top layer, a bottom layer, a first fastener, and a second fastener. The top layer includes a first top plate and a second top plate. The first and second top plates define a door channel therebetween. Each of the first and second top plates includes a top surface, a bottom surface, and a blind bore. The blind bore is defined in the bottom surface and extends towards the top surface. The blind bore is threaded. The bottom layer includes a first base plate that defines a through bore. The first fastener extends through the first base plate and is threadably received in the blind bore of the first top plate to secure the first top plate to the first base plate. The second fastener extends through the first base plate and is threadably received in the blind bore of the second top plate to secure the second top plate to the first base plate.
Gap-reducing sill assembly for an elevator car
An illustrative example elevator sill assembly includes a sill plate and at least one support arm secured to the sill plate. A mounting bracket is configured to be mounted to an elevator car. The support arm is supported on the mounting bracket to allow the support arm to pivot relative to the mounting bracket. At least one linear actuator has a moving portion that moves in a vertical direction to cause the at least one support arm to pivot relative to the mounting bracket to thereby cause the sill plate to pivot from a stored position to an actuated position.
Integrated elevator sill drain
A threshold drain system for redirecting water entering an elevator shaft at an opening thereof is provided. The threshold drain system may include a catch channel and a sill plate. The catch channel may include a forward wall connectable to an interior wall of the elevator shaft along and below the threshold. The sill plate extends from a rearward wall of the catch channel and is offset rearward relative to at least a portion of a vertical surface of the finished floor facing the elevator shaft to define a rearward offset. The forward wall may include a flange extending from an upper end of the forward wall at an elevation lower than a bottom of the sill plate so as to define a vertical offset. The rearward offset and the vertical offset at least in part define a passageway configured to direct the water into the catch channel.
Measurement and diagnostic of elevator door performance using sound and video
A component monitoring system for monitoring a component of a conveyance system including a conveyance apparatus including: a camera configured to capture a sequence images of the component, the sequence of images being motion data; and a processor configured to determine an evaluation summary of the component in response to at least the motion data.
Elevator trench drain
An elevator trench drain including a trench at least partially defining a drain volume, where the trench includes a base wall and at least one side wall extending from the base wall, a conduit coupled to the trench and open to the drain volume, and a grate coupled to the trench. The grate includes a top surface defining a periphery, at least one wall extending from a periphery of the top surface and configured to contact the base wall of the trench, and a support configured to selectively contact the base wall at a location inside the periphery of the top surface.
ELEVATOR LANDING SILL DEVICE AND ELEVATOR DEVICE EQUIPPED WITH SAME
An elevator landing sill device includes a landing sill provided along a lower edge of a landing opening, and a fixture fixed to a hoistway wall of a building, to which the landing sill is attached. The elevator landing sill device includes a partition member for sealing a gap between the landing sill and the hoistway wall. The partition member includes a center plate, the building-side mount part attached to one end of the center plate, a sill-side mount part attached to the other end of the center plate, a building-side rotating part for rotatably fixing the center plate and the building-side mount part, and the sill-side rotating part for rotatably fixing the center plate and the sill-side mount part. A building-side fastener for fixing the building-side mount part to the building, and a sill-side fastener for fixing the sill-side mount part to the landing sill are further provided.
Narrow groove elevator doorsill
A doorsill assembly for an elevator includes a thin sliding member attached to the lower part of an elevator door for guiding opening and closing of the door along a guide groove on the doorsill, and a filling bar arranged in the guide groove so as to close an opening of the guide groove except for the sliding area of the sliding member.
ELEVATOR TRENCH DRAIN
An elevator trench drain including a trench at least partially defining a drain volume, where the trench includes a base wall and at least one side wall extending from the base wall, a conduit coupled to the trench and open to the drain volume, and a grate coupled to the trench. The grate includes a top surface defining a periphery, at least one wall extending from a periphery of the top surface and configured to contact the base wall of the trench, and a support configured to selectively contact the base wall at a location inside the periphery of the top surface.
Elevator car apron
Elevator systems are described. The systems include an elevator car movable along an elevator shaft having a pit floor. A car apron assembly is provided that includes an apron frame movably mounted to the elevator car, the apron frame having a frame base, a support arm, and an apron stop at an end of the support arm opposite the frame base, and a semi-rigid curtain extending between a car sill and the frame base. A shaft stop is arranged within the elevator shaft to interact with the apron stop. The curtain transitions from a deployed state to a compressed state when the apron stop contacts the shaft stop, and when in the deployed state the curtain extends below the elevator car to block an open landing door that is lower than the elevator car when the elevator car is positioned offset and above an adjacent landing.
