Appeal No. 2005-0768
Application No. 10/010,203
a “vibration isolator” on either side of the guide rail 1, each
having a plurality of hard layers (the horizontal section of
bracket 21 and two plates 23) and a plurality of soft layers (two
rubbers 22) wherein the hard layers and soft layers are
alternating.
Claim 11 depends from claim 10 and requires each soft layer
to be formed from at least one material selected from the group
consisting of synthetic rubber, natural rubber and a silicon
elastomeric material. Kiri’s rubbers 22 necessarily embody at
least one of the first two materials.
Claim 12 depends from claim 2 and requires the at least one
layered vibration isolator to be connected at a first end to a
flange member joined to the guide rail. Each of Kiri’s vibration
isolators as constituted by a rubber 22 and the associated plate
23 is connected at an end to a flange member in the form of
bracket 27 which is joined to the guide rail 1 via the shoe
structure.
Claim 13 depends from claim 12 and requires the at least one
layered vibration isolator to have a second end opposed to the
first end and to be joined at the second end to a bracket with an
aperture that allows the bracket to be connected to the elevator
cab. Each of Kiri’s vibration isolators as constituted by a
