ATTORNEY Patented Sept. 26, 1950 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE ELEVATOR CONTROL SIGNAL SYSTEM Hans A. Deibele, New York, N. Y.
Application August 21, 1946, Serial No. 692,089
9 Claims. 1
This invention relates to elevator control si nal systems.
An object of this invention is to provide a system of the character described havin means to produce a signal should an elevator car stop more than a predetermined distance from the nearest floor stop or landing, and the door of the elevator is opening, or the elevator shaft door is open.
A further object of this invention is to provide a system of the character described comprising an audible warning signal in an elevator car, and means to operate the signal should the elevator stop more than a predetermined distance away from the nearest floor stop, the construction being such that said warning will automatically operate either while th elevator gate is being opened, or when the door of the elevator shaft is open.
In elevator systems as now constructed there is provided a gate relay which is energized only during the period that the elevator car gate or door is opening, and when the gate is fully opened the relay is deenergized. Also in present elevator systems there is sometimes provided a shaft door relay which is energized when all the doors of the elevator shaft are closed. When any of the elevator shaft doors are opened, such relay is deenergized. In accordance with the present invention, should the elevator be more than a predetermined distance away from a floor level, a relay is caused to close a contact in an amplifier circuit. In series with such contact is another contact controlled by the gate relay so that when the gate relay is energized upon opening of the inside gate of the elevator, the circuit to the amplifier is completed. When the gate is fully opened, the gate relay is deenergized and the contact controlled thereby opens again, but this time the door of the shaft may be opened. The door relay (which is energized when all the elevator shaft doors are closed) keeps another contact in parallel with the gate contact, in open condition when said relay is energized. When the door relay is deenergized by opening-of the shaft door, the door contact is permitted to close to again complete the circuit to the amplifier. In accordance with the present invention, the amplifier is connected to a loud speaker in the elevator car and the loud speaker produces an audible warning signal when the amplifier is energized.
Another object of this invention is to provide an economical and durable system of the character described, which shall be ure and positive in operation, and yet practical and efficient to a high degree in use.
Other objects of this invention will in part be obvious, and in part hereinafter pointed out.
The invention accordingly consists in the features of construction, combinations of elements, and arrangement of parts which will be exemplified in the construction hereinafter described, and of which the scope of application will be in dicated in the following claims.
In the accompanying drawing, in which is shown an illustrative embodiment of this invention, the single figure of the drawing is a diagram matic sketch illustrating the invention.
Referring now in detail to the drawing, l0 designates an elevator car provided with a gate or sliding door Illa, and II designates the elevator shaft. In the drawing I 2 designates the floor landings and In designates the shaft doors. Fixed within the elevator shaft is a cam l3 for each landing so constituted as to be engaged by a roller I 4 on the elevator car if the car stops at the level of the floor associated With said cam. Should the car stop more than a predetermined distance above or below the nearest floor landing l2, the roller [4 will not contact the cam. The term gate will be used to designate an car gate or sliding or car door.
The roller I4 is on a switch arm l5 suitably attached to the elevator car. On the switch arm I5 is a contact l6. On said elevator car is a switch arm I! provided with a contact l8 adapted to be engaged by the contact l6 when the roller I4 is not in engagement with the cam 13. The arms [5 and I! are preferably at the top or above the car. Contact "5 is connected by a flexible wire or conductor 20 to a feed line terminal 2|. The wire or conductor 20 extends through the elevator shaft and has sufficient slack so that the elevator can move up or down in the shaft. Contact I8 is connected by another flexible Wire or conductor 23 within the elevator shaft I I, to a second feed line terminal 24.
Interposed in conductor 23 is a relay 25. It will noW be understood that should the elevator stop more than'a predetermined distance from a floor level, contacts [6 and 18 will close to complete the circuit through the relay 25 which hence becomes energized.
Said relay 25 when' energized is adapted to close a normally open switch 26. The switch 26 may comprise a contact arm 21, which when closed engages the fixed contact 28. Contact arm 21 is connected by wire 29 to feed line terminal 2|.
Contact 28 is connected by wire or conductor 30 to one terminal of an amplifier 3|. Interposed in wire 30 are a pair of switches 32 and 33. The switches 32 and 33 are each in series with switch 26, but in parallel with each other.
The second terminal of the amplifier is connected by wire 34 to the feed line terminal 24. Thus to energize the amplifier 3|, switch 26 must be closed and in addition either one of the switches 32 or 33 must be closed. The amplifier 3| is connected by flexible wires 36 and 3! to a loud speaker 38 disposed within the elevator car ID. The wires or conductors 36, 31 are flexible and hang within the elevator shaft H to permit the elevator car to move up and down in the shaft. The amplifier 3| may be of any suitable type. It may be film operated like a moving picture radio amplifier, or it could have a steel tape or a record instead of film, or it may be of any suitable construction.
When the circuit to the amplifier is completed, the amplifier will cause the audible warning signal at the loud speaker 38. The warning signal may be the words watch your step audibly sounded and such warning may be repeated continuously as long as the circuit to the amplifier is closed.
The switch 32 is normally opened. It may be called a gate contact. This gate contact is closed by a relay 4!]. The relay 40 may be energized only during the period that the gate on the car is opening. When the gate is fully opened, the relay 4! is deenergized. The switch 33 is controlled by a relay 4|. When the relay 4| is energized, it opens switch 33. The relay 4| is energized if all the doors in the elevator shaft are closed. When the relay 4| becomes deenergized, switch 33 closes. When the gate on the elevator door is fully opened, the relay 40 is deenergized permitting switch 32 to open and at this time or soon thereafter the shaft door at the floor level near the elevator car will open, and when any shaft door opens, the relay 4| is deenergized to permit closing of contact 33. Thus should the car stop at a point more than a predetermined distance from the nearest floor level, contacts l6, l8 close to energize relay 25 for closing switch 26. Then when the operator causes the elevator car gate Illa to open, switch 32 closes and the warning signal sounds. At the time the gate of the elevator car is fully opened, the outer or elevator shaft door |2a may be opened for causing closing of switch 33 so as to continue closure of the amplifier circuit and the warning signal continues operation. When the car gate Illa is not in opening motion and the elevator shaft doors I20, are all closed the amplifier is deenergized.
It will thus be seen that there is provided a device in which the several objects of this invention are achieved, and which is well adapted to meet the conditions of practical use.
As various possible embodiments might be made of the above invention, and as various changes might be made in the embodiments above set forth, it is to be understood that all matter herein set forth or shown in the accompanying drawing is to be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
