Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a home elevator installed in a private residence, and particularly to a home elevator that makes effective use of installation space.

[Prior Art] In recent years, due to the increasing number of layers of private residences due to housing land conditions and the aging of society's population, elevators have been increasingly installed in private residences. However, especially in small houses in urban areas, space for installing elevators is at a premium.

Therefore, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 64-12061 proposes a technique for saving installation space by eliminating the need for a counterweight and reducing the space occupied by the drive device. In addition, branch number 90-2 of the Japan Institute of Invention and Innovation Public Technical Report
No. 6 discloses a technique for reducing space by using a lift for raising and lowering persons with disabilities between the ground and the first floor to double as a home elevator.

Further, in the Technical Report published by Japan Institute of Invention and Innovation, Branch No. 87-5631, a technique for saving space by effectively utilizing the interior of the car is disclosed.

In this system, the interior of the car is used as a refreshment room for maintaining health or a private room such as a study while the car is stopped at night or the like.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] The installation space has been reduced by miniaturizing the device according to the above-mentioned Utility Model Application Publication No. 12061/1982 or by making it both a lift and a home elevator according to the branch number 90-26 of the Japan Institute of Invention and Innovation. However, with the recent housing situation, there is a growing desire to make more use of the car room and increase the living area. In order to meet this demand, there is a technique of using a car room as a private room, as described in branch number 87-5631 of the above-mentioned Japan Institute of Invention and Innovation publication.
