20110240407 | ELEVATOR SYSTEM INCLUDING CONTROL ELECTRONICS SUPPORTED ON AN ELEVATOR MACHINE SUPPORT - An exemplary mounting arrangement for components of an elevator system comprises a machine support that is configured to support a load associated with an elevator machine. A support for control electronics that operate the elevator machine is connected to the machine support. | 10-06-2011 |
20110240828 | ELEVATOR SYSTEM AND INSTALLATION METHOD - An exemplary mounting arrangement for an elevator machine comprises a first portion ( | 10-06-2011 |
20110296772 | ELEVATOR SYSTEM WITH GUIDE RAIL BRACKET - An exemplary door frame assembly that is useful in an elevator system includes a plurality of door frame members including a header, a sill and a plurality of jambs. The door frame members are configured to be secured into a desired position along a hoistway. At least one guide rail bracket is supported by at least one of the door frame members. The guide rail bracket is moveable relative to the door frame member between a handling position in which the guide rail bracket is generally parallel to at least one of the header or the sill and a deployed position in which the guide rail bracket is generally perpendicular to the at least one of the header or sill. | 12-08-2011 |
20110297488 | ELEVATOR SYSTEM DOOR FRAME THAT SUPPORTS GUIDE RAILS - An exemplary elevator door frame includes a sill member and a header member. A plurality of jamb members are generally perpendicular to the sill member and the header member. A plurality of guide rail brackets are supported on at least one of the sill member, the header member or one of the jamb members. The guide rail brackets are configured to receive a portion of a guide rail. | 12-08-2011 |
20110303493 | BRAKE TORQUE CONTROL - An exemplary brake device includes a brake element configured to apply a braking force to resist rotation of an associated component. A mounting member is configured to mount the brake device to a stationary surface. The mounting member is at least partially moveable relative to the stationary surface responsive to a torque on the brake device. A sensor provides an indication of a force associated with any movement of the mounting member relative to the stationary surface responsive to the torque. | 12-15-2011 |
20120006969 | ELEVATOR MACHINE FRAME WITH NOISE REDUCING CONFIGURATION - An exemplary elevator machine frame includes a plurality of support surfaces configured to support at least one of a motor or a brake. A plurality of arms between the support surfaces maintain a desired alignment of support surfaces. At least one of the arms has a first cross section taken transverse to a longitudinal direction along a length of the arm at a first longitudinal location on the arm. That same arm has a second, different cross section at a second, different longitudinal location on the arm. | 01-12-2012 |
20120007465 | ELECTRIC MACHINE HAVING MULTIDIRECTIONAL SKEW - An electric machine includes a rotor rotatable about a central axis. The rotor includes at least one rotor element having a first element edge. A stator includes a stator face facing the rotor and a plurality of stator slots. Each stator slot has at least one stator slot edge located at the stator face. A first edge portion of the at least one stator slot edge is oriented nonparallel to the first element edge in a first direction and a second edge portion of the at least one stator slot edge is oriented nonparallel to the first element edge in a second direction. | 01-12-2012 |
20140101916 | METHOD OF ASSEMBLING AN ELEVATOR MACHINE FRAME - An exemplary method of assembling an elevator machine frame includes situating at least a portion of a motor in a desired position, placing an elevator frame support plate against the portion of the motor, connecting a plurality of support rods to the support plate and connecting another support plate to the support rods such that the support plates are spaced from each other and in a desired alignment with each other. | 04-17-2014 |
