    Fig. 3 zeigt eine Vorderansicht, teilweise geschnitten, der Bremsfangvorrichtung. Die untere und obere keilförmige Bremsbacke 13 und 14 befinden sich im Ruhezustand. Die beiden Bremsbacken 13 und 14 sind an ihrem schmalen Ende durch einen Stab 29 miteinander verbunden. Etwa in der Mitte der keilförmigen Bremsbacken 13 und 14 sind Wälzkörper 30 und 31 angeordnet. Die Wälzkörper können zylindrisch oder kugelförmig sein. Bei der Ausbildung als zylindrische Rolle kann dieselbe glatt, gerändelt, gefräst oder gebordelt sein. Die zentrischen Öffnungen 32 und 33 in den Wälzkörpern 30 und 31 sind etwas grösser als die Bolzen 34 und 35, um welche sich die Wälzkörper drehen. Die Bohrungen 36 und 37 in der unteren keilförmigen Bremsbacke und die Bohrungen 38 und 39 in der oberen keilförmigen Bremsbacke dienen zum verschiebbaren Befestigen der Bremsbacken 13 und 14 in den Schlitzen 20 und 21 der Führungsplatte 19. Die Bohrung 40 oben in der oberen keilförmigen und die Bohrung 74 unten in der unteren keilförmigen Bremsbacke dienen zum Befestigen des Auslösemechanismus 23, 27, je nachdem, ob der Einbau der Fangvorrichtung oben oder unten an der Kabine erfolgt. An den inneren, der unteren und oberen keilförmigen Bremsbacke 13 und 14 zugewandten, abgewinkelten Teilen 41 und 42 des Gehäuses sind L-förmige gegossene oder gefräste Rollplatten 43 und 44 angelegt. Die Rollplatten gleiten auf den abgewinkelten Teilen 41 und 42 des Gehäuses. Die Rollplatten weisen an ihren sich zugewandten Enden je eine Vertiefung 45 und 46 auf. Zwei mit Druckfedern 47 und 48 versehene Schrauben 49 und 50 sind in Bohrungen 51 und 52 der kurzen Schenkel 53 und 54 der Rollplatten 43 und 44 sowie in Bohrungen 55 und 56 im Gehäuse 11 eingesetzt. Die Druckfedern 47, 48 sind konzentrisch zu den Schrauben 49, 50 angeordnet. An die kurzen Schenkel 53 und 54 schliessen sich lange Schenkel 72 und 73 an. Die erste Bremsbacke 12 und die untere und obere keilförmige Bremsbacke 13 und 14 sind an ihrer der Schiene 18 zugekehrten Seite mit Querrillen 57, 58 und 59 versehen. Mit einer Schraube 60 werden die erste Bremsbacke 12 und das Gehäuse 11 zusammengehalten. Im weiteren bewirkt diese Schraube eine kleine Vorspannung der Tellerfedern 16 und 17. Aus dieser Figur ist im weiteren der zweite Bolzen 61 der festen Bremsbacke ersichtlich. Für die Bremsung nach unten und nach oben können gleiche keilförmige Bremsbacken 13 und 14 verwendet werden. Die feste Bremsbacke 12 ist nicht mehr doppelt ausgebildet. Die schiefe Ebene fällt weg, was eine kostengünstigere Herstellung ermöglicht. Die Rollplatten 43 und 44 haben die gleiche Funktion wie früher die schiefe Ebene der ersten Bremsbacke gemäss der veröffentlichten PCT-Anmeldung PCT/CH97/00075. Über die Unterlagsscheiben 62, 63 stellt man den Druck der Tellerfederpakete 16, 17 auf die Bremsbacke 12 bzw. auf den nach unten bremsenden Keil 13 oder den nach oben bremsenden Keil 14 ein. Eine der Rollplatten 43, 44 ist etwas dünner ausgebildet als die andere Rollplatte 43. Es können zwischen der oberen und/oder unteren Rollplatte und dem abgewinkelten Teil 41, 42 des Gehäuses Plättchen 71 unterlegt werden, was zusätzlich ermöglicht, die untere und obere keilförmige Bremsbacke 13 und 14 verschieden einzustellen. Das Gehäuse 11 ist symmetrisch gebaut, was ermöglicht, für links und rechts, oben oder unten an der Liftkabine nur eine Gehäuseausführung zu benutzen, wodurch die Vielfalt der Lagerhaltung halbiert wird. Der Winkel der Rollplatten 43 und 44, der schiefen Seiten 64 und 65 der unteren und oberen keilförmigen Bremsbacke 13 und 14 und der abgewinkelten Teile 41 und 42 des Gehäuses 11 weisen einen Winkel in bezug auf die Schiene von etwa 5 bis 8 ° auf. Bei einem zu kleinen Winkel ergibt sich ein hartes Lösen aus dem Fang; bei einem zu grossen Winkel wird beim Einziehen gar nicht gebremst.Fig. 3 shows a front view, partly in section, of the brake safety device. The lower and upper wedge-shaped brake shoes 13 and 14 are located yourself at rest. The two brake shoes 13 and 14 are on their narrow end connected by a rod 29. About in the middle the wedge-shaped brake shoes 13 and 14 rolling elements 30 and 31 are arranged. The rolling elements can be cylindrical or spherical. During training as a cylindrical roll it can be smooth, knurled, milled or flanged his. The central openings 32 and 33 in the rolling elements 30 and 31 are slightly larger than the bolts 34 and 35 around which the rolling elements are rotate. The holes 36 and 37 in the lower wedge-shaped brake shoe and the holes 38 and 39 in the upper wedge-shaped brake shoe serve for slidably attaching the brake shoes 13 and 14 in the slots 20 and 21 of the guide plate 19. The bore 40 at the top of the upper wedge-shaped and the bore 74 at the bottom of the lower wedge-shaped brake shoe serve for Attach the trigger mechanism 23, 27, depending on whether the installation of the Safety gear at the top or bottom of the cabin. On the inner, the lower and upper wedge-shaped brake shoe 13 and 14 facing, angled Parts 41 and 42 of the housing are L-shaped cast or milled Roll plates 43 and 44 created. The roller plates slide on the angled ones Parts 41 and 42 of the housing. The roller plates point to them facing ends each have a recess 45 and 46. Two with compression springs 47 and 48 provided screws 49 and 50 are in bores 51 and 52 of the short Legs 53 and 54 of the roller plates 43 and 44 and in holes 55 and 56 used in the housing 11. The compression springs 47, 48 are concentric with the Screws 49, 50 arranged. Close the short legs 53 and 54 long legs 72 and 73. The first brake shoe 12 and the lower one and the upper wedge-shaped brake shoe 13 and 14 are facing the rail 18 Side with transverse grooves 57, 58 and 59. With a screw 60 the first brake shoe 12 and the housing 11 are held together. in the furthermore, this screw causes a small preload of the plate springs 16 and 17. From this figure, the second pin 61 is the fixed one Brake shoe visible. For braking down and up you can same wedge-shaped brake shoes 13 and 14 are used. The firm Brake shoe 12 is no longer double. The inclined plane falls away which enables cheaper production. The roller plates 43 and 44 have the same function as the inclined plane of the first brake shoe according to the published PCT application PCT / CH97 / 00075. about the washers 62, 63 are the pressure of the plate spring assemblies 16, 17 on the brake shoe 12 or on the downward braking wedge 13 or the wedge 14 braking upwards. One of the roller plates 43, 44 is something thinner than the other roller plate 43. There can be between the upper and / or lower roller plate and the angled part 41, 42 of the housing Platelets 71 are underlaid, which also allows the lower and adjust the upper wedge-shaped brake shoe 13 and 14 differently. The Housing 11 is built symmetrically, which allows for left and right, above or to use only one housing version at the bottom of the lift cabin, whereby the variety of warehousing is halved. The angle of the roller plates 43 and 44, the oblique sides 64 and 65 of the lower and upper wedge-shaped Brake shoe 13 and 14 and the angled parts 41 and 42 of the housing 11 have an angle with respect to the rail of about 5 to 8 °. at too small an angle results in a hard loosening from the catch; at a too large an angle is not braked when pulling in.

    Gemäss Fig. 4 ist die untere keilförmige Bremsbacke in einrückendem Zustand befindlich, nachdem die in dieser Figur nicht dargestellte, obere keilförmige Bremsbacke 14 durch den Auslösehebel 23 angehoben wurde. Beim Bremsen nach unten rollt die Rolle 30 der unteren keilförmigen Bremsbacke zwischen der unteren Rollplatte 43 und der Schiene 18. Bei einrückender oberer Bremsbacke 14, d.h. beim Bremsen nach oben, rollt die Rolle 31 zwischen der oberen Rollplatte 44 und der Schiene 18.4, the lower wedge-shaped brake shoe is in engagement Condition after the upper, not shown in this figure wedge-shaped brake shoe 14 was raised by the release lever 23. When braking downward, the roller 30 of the lower wedge-shaped brake shoe rolls between the lower roller plate 43 and the rail 18 upper brake shoe 14, i.e. when braking upwards, the roller 31 rolls between the upper roller plate 44 and the rail 18.

    In Fig. 5 ist die Bremsfangvorrichtung in der Bremsstellung gegen unten dargestellt. Die Rolle 30 ist etwas in die Vertiefung 45 zurückgewichen und die untere Bremsbacke 13 ist zwischen der unteren Rollplatte 43 und der Schiene 18 verkeilt. Die mit der Liftkabine verbundene Bremsfangvorrichtung stoppt in dieser Position die Liftkabine. Die erste Bremsbacke 12 und die untere keilförmige Bremsbacke 13 liegen mit ihren zwischen den Querrillen 57 und 58 befindlichen Teilen fest an der Schiene 18 an. Die obere keilförmige Bremsbacke 14 ist in dieser Figur nicht eingezeichnet.In Fig. 5 the safety gear is in the braking position against shown below.
