Elevators 233 and 204 have the same wheels 229 and cogwheels 231 and drive units 232 as elevators 193 to raise and lower themselves on rails 192. Elevator 233 can be stored underground at a first level 238 below the ground such as in the building garage. A ladder 239 or other structure can be used to service the elevator 233 or the crane 236 when stored at first level 238.

Abstract

Cette invention concerne un système d'ascenseur conçu pour se déplacer sur un rail (1) fixé à l'extérieur d'un bâtiment de grande hauteur (2). Ce rail en forme de H comprend des chariots (37, 38) reliés à des câbles passant dans un conduit situé sur le rail et servant à faire monter et descendre les ascenseurs. Des moteurs (7) font tourner des tambours (9, 10) comportant les câbles (35, 36) reliés aux chariots. L'ascenseur est muni d'un bras télescopique (18) fixé de manière qu'il puisse atteindre n'importe quelle position sur le bâtiment ou au-dessus de celui-ci. Une plate-forme ou une cabine (20) fixée au bras télescopique peut servir à apporter des matériaux sur le bâtiment pendant sa construction et peut ensuite servir à l'entretien du bâtiment, notamment pour le lavage des vitres. Le bras télescopique peut comporter divers équipements destinés à remplir différentes fonctions, telles que le sauvetage de personnes prises au piège dans un bâtiment de grande hauteur lors d'un incendie ou le positionnement des pompiers et des tuyaux ou de l'équipement de lutte contre l'incendie à proximité d'un feu.
