Definitions
- the present invention relates to a movable skirt in a lift or elevator cabin.
- skirt defines a lower extension of the cabin and a similar extension (although normally a smaller one) of the floor door.
- Such skirts are normally made of metal plate and have protective functions.
- the cabin skirt which is applied substantially as a lower extension of the cabin floor, serves the purpose of avoiding the danger of persons falling into the cabin shaft if the cabin does not stop exactly at the floor, but above it: in this case the skirt fills the empty space that would be created and prevents the person from falling into the cabin shaft.
- the aim of the present invention is to eliminate the aforesaid drawbacks and to make available a cabin skirt that is compliant with the law and can be applied even when renovating systems whose pits have a depth of less than 750 mm.
- a further aim is to obtain this in an extremely simple and economical manner.
- the skirt of the present invention which is characterised by the contents of the claims set out below and in particular in that it is so shaped as to vary its own height automatically, reducing it from the normal height required, when the skirt penetrates into the lift pit and the cabin is at the lowest floor of the system.
- Figure 1 shows a front view of the skirt
- Figures 2 and 3 show a lateral view of the skirt, respectively in position of maximum and minimum extension
- Figures 4 and 5 show a lateral view of the skirt, in two different operative configurations, in an embodiment variation.
- the number 1 globally indicates a movable skirt, comprising a portion 2 that is fixed (relative to the cabin) and is anchored in a known way to the lower part of a door 5 of a lift cabin 6 (or to the cabin itself as shown in Figure 4), only partially shown herein because it is known.
- the skirt as shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3, comprises a movable portion 3, able to slide relative to the fixed portion by means of linear sliding guides 4.
- the movable portion slides on the fixed one, but according to a variation, not shown herein, it can slide within the fixed portion.
- the fixed portion has an upper appendage 2a for anchoring the cabin of the lift or elevator, whilst the movable portion 3 has a lower appendage 3a destined to come in contact with a floor or base 11 of the lift pit, automatically causing the sliding of the movable portion 3 relative to the fixed portion 2 with the consequent reduction of the vertical extension of the skirt.
- the sliding guides 4 are provided with balls to allow for a better sliding of the movable portion 3 relative to the fixed portion 2.
- the skirt 1 is therefore a telescopic skirt, with variable vertical extension, which automatically reduces its extension (even below the measure prescribed by building codes) by contact with the base of the pit and automatically resumes its regular extension as soon as the cabin of the lift or elevator climbs.
- the skirt 1 is not telescopic, but comprises a movable portion 3 hinged to the fixed portion 2 and connected to a pair of arms 7a and 7b, the latter being anchored to a lower extension 8 of the cabin.
- the arms are positioned on a same straight line, as shown in Figure 4, in which they are at their bottom dead centre and they constitute a reaction to any transverse forces exerted on the skirt, for instance in the direction indicated by an arrow 9, in such a way as to prevent the rotation of the movable portion 3.
- the skirt then resumes its normal configuration when the cabin climbs again, by simple force of gravity which brings the arms 7a and 7b to their lower dead centre.
