Application No. 09/497,359
11. A method of countering load reaction forces in a pair of rigid structures
affixed to opposing walls of a hoistway caused by a vertical load attributable to
an elevator assembly suspended from said rigid structures, said method
comprising
providing a compression member; and
positioning said compression member between points on said rigid
structures from which said elevator assembly is suspended.
14. An elevator system comprising:
an elevator assembly disposed within a hoistway;
a pair of load bearing structures affixed to opposing walls within the
hoistway and from which the elevator assembly is suspended by elevator ropes;
and
a compression member positioned between said load bearing structures in
such a manner so as to counter non-vertical components of forces applied to
said load bearing structures due to suspension of the elevator assembly.
17. An elevator system comprising:
an elevator assembly disposed within a hoistway;
a pair of load bearing structures affixed to opposing walls within the
hoistway and from which the elevator assembly is suspended; and
a compression member positioned between said load bearing structures in
such a manner so as to counter non-vertical components of forces applied to
said load bearing structures due to suspension of the elevator assembly.
Miller's invention relates to traction drive elevators, and more particularly to
mounting apparatus and methods for traction machines of such elevators. Miller's
invention is directed to an elevator system which includes a traction machine mounted
on a beam that is functionally separate from the guide mechanism for the elevator and
that extends to the pit. As a result of this method of mounting, loads on the traction
