Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Technical field of the invention] This invention relates to the improvement of an elevator that allows a view of the scenery outside the building from the car compartment.

[Prior art]

In recent years, observation elevators have become widely used, and are designed to allow a view of the scenery outside the building from inside the car. An example of such elevators is shown in Fig. 1.

In the figure, 1 is a hoistway provided in the building, 2 is a viewing window glass provided in the hoistway 1, and 3 is a hoistway 1.
4 is a window glass for observation provided in the car room 3; 5 is a car door that opens and closes the entrance to the car room 3; 6 is a car door installed above the entrance to the car room 3; A position indicator 7 indicates the ascending/descending position (floor) of the passenger in the car room 3.

That is, the passengers 7 can go to a desired floor while viewing the scenery outside the building through the window glasses 4 and 2.

Since the window glass 4 is on the opposite side of the car door 5, passengers 7 must stand with their backs to the car door 5 in order to view the scenery outside the building. Therefore, in order to get off at a desired floor, the passenger must look back at the position indicator 6 provided at the rear and check which floor the car compartment 3 is currently on.

Therefore, the position indicator 6A is placed on the top of the window glass 4.
However, since some passengers want to check the floor again when getting off, the position indicator 6 above the entrance cannot be abolished. In the end, two position indicators 6 and 6A must be installed in the car room 3. Further, even if the position indicator 6A is installed at the top of the window glass 4, the direction 7a of the eyes of the passenger 7 looking outside from the window glass 4 is different from the direction 7b of the eyes looking the position indicator 6A. 7 has to change the direction of his eyes every time he looks at the position indicator 6A. Furthermore, if the position indicator 6A is installed above the window glass 4, the observation window cannot be raised as high as the ceiling of the car compartment 3.

Furthermore, as shown in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 57-137284, there is also a system that uses a reflecting mirror to show the image of the position indicator 6 to the passenger 7. As shown in FIG. 2, a reflecting mirror 8 is provided above the window glass 4 to reflect the image of the position indicator 6 above the entrance/exit. However, in this case, the position indicator 6
Only one is enough, but every time the passenger 7 looks at the reflector 8,
The fact that you have to change the direction of your eyes has not changed.

[Summary of the idea]

This idea improves the above-mentioned problem by installing a semi-transparent mirror on the observation window glass, which allows the scenery outside the building to pass through and reflects the image of the position indicator, so that the eyes looking at the scenery outside the building can see the scenery outside the building. To provide an observation elevator in which a position indicator can be seen without changing direction.

[Example of idea]

An embodiment of this invention will be described below with reference to FIG.

In the figure, reference numeral 9 denotes a semi-transparent mirror provided inside the window glass 4, and is provided at an angle such that the image of the position indicator 6 above the entrance is reflected and seen by the passengers 7. Further, the height of the window glass 4 is set close to the ceiling of the car room 3. Other than the above, the configuration is the same as in FIG. 1.

That is, since the semi-transparent mirror 9 has both transmission and reflection properties as is well known, the passenger 7 can view the scenery outside the building through the semi-transparent mirror 9 and the window glass 4 while looking in the same direction 7a. The position indicator 6 superimposed on the semi-transparent mirror 9 can be seen. Therefore, it is possible to check whether the car 3 has arrived at the desired floor without turning around or changing the direction of the eyes, and there is no need to miss a car. Further, there is no need to install a position indicator above the window glass 4.
Therefore, it is possible to make the window glass 4 sufficiently high near the ceiling as described above.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of this invention, in which a reflecting mirror 10 is provided on the ceiling of the car room 3, and the image of the position indicator 6 is once reflected by the reflecting mirror 10 and then re-transparent by a semi-transparent mirror 9. It is reflected so that passengers 7 can see it. This example is useful when the semi-transparent mirror 9 is provided below the window glass 4, thereby making it possible to make most of the window glass 4 a surface free of obstructions.

Further, the translucent mirror 9 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 may be made into a spherical shape so that the reflected image of the position indicator 6 can be seen no matter where the passenger 7 is located.

FIG. 5 also shows another embodiment of this invention, in which the window glass 4 itself is constituted by a semi-transparent mirror, and is tilted at an angle such that the image of the position indicator 6 is reflected and enters the eyes of the passenger 7. . In this case as well, the same functions as in FIG. 3 can be obtained.

[Effect of idea]

As mentioned above, in this invention, a translucent mirror is installed either integrally with or separately from the window glass of the observation elevator car, and this is used to combine the reflected light from the position indicator at the top of the entrance and the line of sight of passengers looking at the scenery outside the building. Since the image of the position indicator is superimposed on the scenery seen through the window glass, the image of the position indicator is superimposed on the scenery seen through the window glass, and passengers can easily see the exit floor using the position indicator without having to turn around or change the direction of their eyes. This allows you to check and prevent over-driving.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

1 and 2 are vertical cross-sectional views of the car and hoistway showing a conventional observation elevator, FIG. 3 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the car and a hoistway showing an embodiment of the observation elevator according to this invention, and FIG. FIG. 5 is a longitudinal sectional view of the cage showing another embodiment of this invention. In the figure, 3 is a car compartment, 4 is a viewing window, 6 is a position indicator, and 9 is a semi-transparent mirror. Note that the same reference numerals in the figures indicate the same or corresponding parts.
