An elevator alignment system providing alignment between respective sills of an elevator car and an entrance landing to/from which the cab is scheduled, via alignment members disposed with the sills.

An elevator panel assembly comprises a detachable panel (4), for covering a front surface of an elevator car panel (2b), and a separation member (7). The separation member (7) comprises a head portion (7a) received against a back surface of the detachable panel (4). The detachable panel (4) is magnetically attachable to the elevator car panel (2b) and comprises a through hole (9) which is smaller than the head portion (7a) of the separation member (7) and arranged to sit directly over the head portion (7a). The separation member (7) is configured so that a tool inserted through the through hole (9) engages with the head portion to apply a mechanical force, causing the head portion (7a) to push against the back surface of the detachable panel (4).

A safety monitoring device monitoring safety-related states in a passenger conveyor system has first and second double contact relays each controlled by a control voltage to switch first and second normally open contacts and a feedback contact synchronously between an open and closed relay states. First and second controllers each determine properties of the system correlated with safety-related states and in dependence generate the control voltages. The controllers and two double contact relays form first and second safety monitoring switch arrangements for monitoring first and second safety-related states and correspondingly switch first and second switching states within a safety monitoring chain of the system. The first arrangement includes the first contact of the first connected in series with the first contact of the second relay. The second arrangement includes the second contact of the first relay connected in parallel with the second contact of the second relay.

An elevator car (60) defining an interior space (61) comprises at least one opening (66) providing a passage between the interior space (61) and the exterior of the elevator car (60), and at least one sensor (82) configured for detecting any object (75) extending through the at least one opening (66).

To provide an elevator car position detection sensor capable of suppressing erroneous detection of presence or absence of a plate. The elevator car position detection sensor includes a first coil provided to one of an elevator car and a hoistway and configured to output an excitation magnetic field to a plate provided to the other of the elevator car and the hoistway; a second coil provided on an opposite side of the first coil relative to the plate; a shield wall configured to shield an end portion of the plate located closer to one of the car and the hoistway; and a determination circuit configured to determine a phase of an alternating-current voltage corresponding to a frequency of the excitation magnetic field output from the first coil at an alternating-current voltage generated across the second coil.

An elevator display system includes: a sensing device; a mirror display device that is arranged in the cage on a side opposite to an elevator door, functions in a first state of being a mirror, and functions in a second state of being an image display unit; a content generation unit that generates the display image data to be displayed on the mirror display device; an in-cage condition judgment unit that judges condition of a user in the cage from the sensing data and outputs user information regarding the condition of the user; and a display control unit that outputs a control signal requesting generation of display image data for setting a display state of the whole or part of a display surface of the mirror display device to the first state or the second state to the display image generation unit-based on the user information.

An illustrative example elevator system includes an elevator car and a valve assembly that selectively directs fluid flow to control movement of the elevator car. At least one sensor provides an indication of a current status of the elevator car, which includes at least a position of the elevator car or a speed of the elevator car. A processor receives the indication from the at least one sensor and adjusts operation of the valve assembly when the current status of the elevator car is different than a predetermined desired status.
