| 20090101448 | METHOD AND APPLIANCE FOR COLLECTING ROPE - The present invention relates to a method and an appliance for collecting rope, in which method the rope is arranged to be collected in a collection container ( | 04-23-2009 |
| 20100012436 | Hydraulic elevator system - The hydraulic elevator system has several configurations, each incorporating the hydraulic motor and pump at the lower end of the hydraulic ram and cylinder assembly. A first embodiment utilizes a wet pump and motor assembly at the lower end of the cylinder, with the volume between the cylinder and casing providing a hydraulic reservoir. A second embodiment provides a dry pump and motor installed at the lower end of the cylinder below the surrounding casing and hydraulic reservoir. A third embodiment attaches the pump and motor to the lower end of the hydraulic ram, with the pump and motor traveling up and down with the ram during operation. Further systems facilitating the installation and removal of the hydraulic cylinder and attached components for maintenance are also provided. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20100108446 | DRIVE SYSTEMS AND CARGO LIFT SYSTEMS - A drive system for use with a cable and a carrier for raising and lowering a payload between a lower position and an upper position, the carrier being configured to hold the payload, the cable being connected to the carrier, includes a reel, a drive mechanism, a cable slack control mechanism, and a tension adjustment system. The reel is configured to receive the cable. The reel is rotatable in each of a winding direction to wind the cable onto the reel to raise the carrier and an unwinding direction to unwind the cable from the reel to lower the carrier. The drive mechanism includes a drive member and a motor operable to forcibly rotate the drive member in each of a raising direction and a lowering direction. The drive member is operatively connected to the reel to rotate the reel in the winding direction when the drive member is rotated in the raising direction, and to controllably rotate the reel and/or permit the reel to rotate in the unwinding direction when the drive member is rotated in the lowering direction. The cable slack control mechanism is operative to automatically selectively decouple the drive member from the reel while the drive motor is rotating the drive member in the lowering direction when a tension on the cable does not exceed a threshold tension and/or the cable is fully unwound from the reel. The tension adjustment system is operable to selectively adjust the threshold tension. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20120279805 | ELEVATOR - The invention concerns a lift having a drive unit. The invention further concerns a wind power installation having a lift. To reduce the costs of the lift and thus make the lift economically more attractive the lift of the kind set forth in this specification is characterized by a cupboard used as the lift car. In that respect the invention is based on the realization that a cupboard in its basic structure with bottom, side walls and a door does not differ from a lift car produced specifically for a lift. Naturally there are differences, for example in suspension and operation of the door, but those differences can be removed insofar as they are an obstacle to use of a cupboard as a lift car so that the complication and expenditure overall is always still less than the complication and expenditure for a lift car constructed specifically for the lift. | 11-08-2012 |
| 20160122160 | Overwind Conveyance Drop Protection - A hoist system for hoisting a conveyance from a mineshaft, comprising: a head frame mounted over the mineshaft; a hoist connected to the conveyance by an elongate flexible hoisting element so as to be operable to hoist the conveyance from the mineshaft by winding the hoisting element; an upper crash barrier located on the head frame so as to be engageable by the conveyance to prevent upward movement of the conveyance beyond the crash barrier in an overwind condition; and an upper conveyance retarder to retard upward movement of the conveyance as it approaches the crash barrier. | 05-05-2016 |
| 187262000 | Having cable guiding pulley wheel spaced therefrom | 3 |
| 20110315488 | Vertically Moving Device - A vertically moving device includes a spool mechanism for spooling at least two wires that are fed out to form loops and a vertically movable platform suspended by looped portions of the at least two wires fed out from the spool mechanism. The vertically movable platform includes at least four wire-guiding rotating bodies over which the looped portions of the wires are run. And a looped portion of one of the wires is run over at least two of the wire-guiding rotating bodies, and a looped portion of the other of the wires is run over at least two other of the wire-guiding rotating bodies | 12-29-2011 |
| 20120132486 | EMERGENCY ESCAPE DEVICE FOR ELEVATOR - An emergency escape device for elevators is revealed. The emergency escape device is disposed in an elevator system. The emergency escape device includes a motor having an output end linked to a reduction gear set. An inner gear of the reduction gear set is engaged with a gear of a rope winder around which a steel cable is wound. Thereby the motor is released automatically from braking when the elevator system loses power and stops due to power outage or mechanical failure. Thus an elevator cabin is pulled downward by gravity and the rope winder rotates to unwind the wound steel cable. The steel cable goes down slowly so that the elevator cabin can goes down and stop at the nearest floor, allowing people trapped to come out. | 05-31-2012 |
| 20130118839 | CONTROL SYSTEM FOR A PLATFORM LIFT APPARATUS - A platform lift apparatus moves objects vertically within a structure such as between floors of a residential or commercial structure. A drive train comprises a rotatable shaft having plural lift drums and a motor operatively coupled to the shaft to cause selective rotation thereof. Each of the lift drums has an associated lift tether coupled thereto and wound thereon. A platform is coupled to respective ends of the lift tethers to suspend the platform from the platform receiving portion of the main body. The platform is selectively movable by operation of the drive train to travel vertically relative to the main body and is substantially nested within the platform receiving portion when at an uppermost point of travel. At least one load sensor is operatively coupled to at least one of the lift tethers to provide a load signal corresponding to load on the associated one of the lift tethers. | 05-16-2013 |
