  • the first car 7 when the first car chamber 14 and the second car chamber 15 are each located at the first position, the first car 7 can thereby be so disposed as to overlap with the second car 8 in the vertical projection plane.
  • the first car chamber 14 and the second car chamber 15 are each displaced to the second position, the first car 7 is thereby allowed to move past the second car 8. Accordingly, the space for the hoistway can be reduced while ensuring a sufficient car floor area.
  • the first car chamber 14 and the second car chamber 15 when the first car chamber 14 and the second car chamber 15 are each located at the first position, they can be stopped at both an uppermost floor and a lowermost floor. As a result, a deterioration in operational convenience can be prevented.

Therefore, permission for a movement between the first car chamber 14 and the second car chamber 15 can be appropriately supervised.
  • first inner door 27 and the second inner door 28 are controlled to be opened/closed independently of each other. Therefore, passengers can be loaded/unloaded from/onto the first landing 11 as is the case with the double deck elevator with the first car chamber 14 and the second car chamber 15 each located at the second position. That is, passengers can be loaded/unloaded regardless of whether the first car chamber 14 and the second car chamber 15 are each located at the first position or the second position, so the degree of freedom of an operational method can be enhanced.
  • the clearance between the first car chamber 14 and the second car chamber 15 can also be adjusted in accordance with an inter-floor dimension.
  • the second car 8 having the third car chamber 30 is suspended at the second ends of the main ropes 6, so the transport capacity of the elevator apparatus can be enhanced drastically.

  • the first car 58 and the second car 60 overlap with each other in the vertical projection plane when the first car chamber 14 and the second car chamber 15 in the first car 58 and the first car chamber 14 and the second car chamber 15 in the second car 60 are both located at the first position.
  • the first car 58 and the second car 60 can move past each other when the first car chamber 14 and the second car chamber 15 in the first car 58 and the first car chamber 14 and the second car chamber 15 in the second car 60 are both located at the second position.
  • the first car 58 and the second car 60 can thereby be so disposed as to overlap with each other in the vertical projection plane.
  • the first car 58 and the second car 60 are thereby allowed to move past each other. Accordingly, the space for the hoistway 1 can be reduced while ensuring a sufficient car floor area.
  • the first car chamber 14 and the second car chamber 15 are each located at the first position, they can be stopped at both the uppermost floor and the lowermost floor. Asaresult,a deterioration in operational convenience can be prevented.
  • the operation of the first car 58 can be controlled in accordance with only a call registration for the first car 58, and the operation of the second car 60 can be controlled in accordance with only a call registration for the second car 60.
