Generally, on intermediate floors other than the upper and lower end floors, a hall call button for the upward direction and a hall call button for the downward direction are provided near the entrance and exit of the elevator hall. An example of a conventional hall call device is shown in a front view of a hall in FIG. In Fig. 1, 1 is a hall door installed at the elevator landing entrance, 2 is a hall call device, 2U is a hall call button in the upward direction, 2D is a hall call button in the downward direction, and 3U is in the upward direction to notify the arrival of the elevator. 3D is the arrival warning light in the descending direction, 4 is the elevator car position indicator, 4a is the car position indicator light that shows the car position, and 4U and 4D are the direction lights that indicate the driving direction of the car. , 4U indicates the upward direction, and 4D indicates the downward direction.

In addition, if there are many people waiting in the hall for both ascending and descending directions, they will be waiting together, and when the elevator arrives, more passengers will be coming down from the elevator, causing chaos in the hall. In some cases,

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned disadvantages, and provides a hall call device that has a simple configuration and can prevent the wrong pressing of the hall call button and alleviate confusion among passengers when they arrive at the elevator. It is something. The present invention will be explained below based on FIG.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an embodiment of the hall call device according to the present invention. In the figure, 2' is the hall call device according to the present invention, and the hall call button 2U in the upward direction.
