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.

In accordance with the present invention, an elevator core structure includes an elevator frame (120) separated from a main frame (110) and extending in a longitudinal direction of the main frame (110), and a guide frame (130) formed on an inner surface of the elevator frame (120). Here, the elevator frame (120) may be formed by stacking a plurality of frame segments (121), and a guide frame unit (131) forming the guide frame (130) may be mounted to one surface of each of the frame segments (121). The present invention exhibits an effect of early-constructing the elevator frame regardless of a construction schedule of a main frame of a building.

Guide assemblies are provided which include a translation guide, a door leaf for a lift, movable along the guide and comprising at least one support element placed at one end of the door leaf, at least one runner housed slidably in the translation guide and defining one or more connection seats to the support element, wherein the connection seat/s and the support element can be coupled with at least two different orientations of the runner with respect to the door leaf. For each orientation, the runner delimits at least a different friction surface with respect to the translation guide, the friction surfaces being non-equidistant from the support element so that the relative position between the door leaf and the translation guide can be changed by different orientations of the runner. The invention further relates to runners usable in a guide assembly.

Disclosed is an elevator system having: a door panel configured for moving along a first axis for opening and closing of the door panel at an entryway, the door panel having a door magnet, the entryway including a sill, the sill having a sill magnet, wherein the door magnet and the sill magnet are configured for forming a first magnetic pairing, and wherein the first magnetic pairing guides the door panel to move along the first axis and prevents the door panel from moving in a lateral direction with respect to the first axis.

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.

An elevator door system comprises a laterally installed door knife located on a car door hanging plate, door lock wheels located on a landing door hanging plate, a fixing plate disposed in a middle of the car door hanging plate. The fixing plate is connected to a transmission belt, so that door hanging plates can be driven to move. A position-limit plate is disposed above the door knife, and the door knife is controlled by the position-limit plate to clamp door lock wheels. At the same time, the door lock wheels are connected to and open a door hanger via a bar. In order to take advantage of the room saved by laterally moving of the door knife, an addition sill and a brush whose lengths are fit for the door opening area are disposed on a car door sill to fill the space when door is opened.

A side of the seal member 35 is provided rotatably to a car-side door sill 31. The rotation of the side allows the side to be displaceable between a sealing position and an evacuation position. The link mechanism for rotating the seal member 35 releases an engagement with the car-side actuating member to rotate the seal member 35 to a sealing position and fixes the seal member 35 at the sealing position. The link mechanism engages with the actuating member and releases the fixing of the seal member 35 at a sealing position when the car door moves to the door-close end.

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.

Elevator systems are provided. The elevator systems include an elevator car movable along an elevator shaft having a pit floor and a shaft top, the elevator car having a car door lock arranged to enable opening of doors by a landing door lock mechanism when the elevator car is located at a landing and an elevator safety system. The elevator safety system includes a car door lock securing device arranged to prevent manual opening of the elevator car doors when in a first state and permits opening of the elevator car doors when in a second state and a car apron affixed to the car door sill and operable from a stowed state to a deployed state, wherein when the car apron transitions from the stowed state to the deployed state, the car door lock securing device is transitioned from the first state to the second state.

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.
