A cage frame 4 supported by a plunger 3 is installed in the elevation passage 2. When a person in a cage 5 which is supported onto the cage frame 4 through a vibrationproof rubber 6, a sensing switch 7 senses the presence of the person. Further, a display device 12 is installed in the upper part of an inlet/outlet door 11 on each floor, and the fact that the person in the cage 5 looks over the outside scenery through a transparent window 10 and a transparent window 9 in a viewing part 8 is displayed. Further, when the cage 5 is in the viewing part 8, the sensing switch 7 and a switch 14 are turned ON, and a relay 15 is excited, and a contact point is turned ON, and the display device 12 lights up.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to residential equipment equipped with a home elevator, which has an elevator in a private residence.

[Conventional technology]

Recently, due to the housing shortage, it has been recommended that two or three generations live in the same house, and the number of two- and three-story private homes is increasing. In this private residence, a living room for the elderly was provided on the first floor because it was dangerous for the elderly to climb up and down the stairs. However, due to the lack of sunlight and poor visibility on the 1st floor, it was proposed that the elderly's living room be located on the upper floors of the 2N and 3rd floors, and in order to ensure their safety, it was proposed that a home elevator be installed. Some of them have been put into practice.

In addition, related to this kind of
No. 6370 and the like can be mentioned.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

As the above-mentioned proposed home elevator, there is a high demand for an elevator that can look outside, and it can be used for personal use from the back of the station, from a high position to leisurely look at the starry sky, the outside view, or your own premises. There are also requests for people to park their baskets in the sun and sunbathe.

An object of the present invention is to provide a home elevator that satisfies the above-mentioned needs, gives a sense of satisfaction to elderly people who use the elevator, and can display when the elevator is in use.

[Means to solve the problem]

The above purpose is to make the upper part of the hoistway higher than the roof of the house, to provide an observation area with at least part of the side wall as a transparent window, and to make the car transparent so that the outer shape can be seen through the transparent window of the observation area. This can be achieved by providing a window and a display device on the first floor to indicate when the car is stopped in the observation area and the observation operation is in progress.

[Effect]

An observation section whose side walls are partially made up of transparent windows is provided above the hoistway at a position higher than the roof of the house, and the car is also operated up to the observation section. Furthermore, a display indicating that the view is in progress is also displayed on the entrance/exit side of the platform.

This allows passengers to leisurely look at the starry sky, the outside scenery, or their own property from a high position, or even stop the car in a sunny position and bask in the sun, giving a sense of satisfaction to elderly people and others who use the elevator. I can do it. moreover,
Since it is displayed as viewing, you can see at a glance that other users are also using it.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

In the figure, 1 is a two-story private residence consisting of a first floor IFL and a second floor 2FL, and a hoistway 2 is erected on the side wall of this residence 1. A car frame 4 supported by a plunger 3 that moves up and down is provided in the hoistway 2. 5 is a car supported on the car frame 4 via a vibration-proof rubber 6; 7 is a switch inside the car 5 that detects a person's name; 8
is an observation section provided at the upper part of the hoistway 2 and at a higher position than the roof of the house 1, and this observation section 8 is provided with a transparent window. 10 is a transparent window provided at the heel 5, which corresponds to the transparent window 9 when the car 5 is stopped in the observation section 8. Reference numeral 11 indicates the entrance/exit door of each floor, and 12 indicates a display device installed above the entrance/exit door 11 of each floor.
When it is in the observation section 8, it is displayed to indicate that the observation is in progress. 13 is a cam provided on the upper part of the heel 5, and the switch 14 is actuated by this cam 13. 15 is a relay that is energized when the sensing switch 7 and the switch 14 are turned on.

However, now, when a householder uses an elevator because he wants to see the outside view, he gets on car 5 and raises car 5 to the position shown in the diagram. Thereby, the outside scenery can be observed through the transparent window 10 of the car 5 and the transparent window 9 of the viewing section 8. If you bring a chair or the like into the car 5 and look at the view in a relaxed manner, you can relax and feel satisfied.

Moreover, since it is located higher than the top floor of the house 1, it not only allows for a wider field of view, but also allows for better sunlight to enter, making it possible to enjoy sunbathing.

Also, when using the car 5 and being in the observation area 8, the relay 15 is turned on by the sensing switch 7 and the switch 14.
is excited and turns on contact 15A1 and contact 15A2,
The display device 12 during observation is turned on. This allows the householder to know that the car 5 is being used for viewing, and there is no need to search around the house.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, while riding in an elevator, the elderly, etc. who use the elevator can leisurely look at the outside view or their own premises, or sunbathe from the observation area that is higher than the top floor of the house. can give a sense of satisfaction. Furthermore, since the display indicates that the device is currently being viewed, it has the effect that other users can see at a glance that the device is also in use.
