| 20100133046 | ELEVATOR SYSTEM, SUSPENSION ELEMENT FOR AN ELEVATOR SYSTEM, AND DEVICE FOR MANUFACTURING A SUSPENSION ELEMENT - An elevator system with a car or platform to transport passengers and/or goods as well as with a counterweight, which are arranged as traversable or movable along a travel path, and which are coupled and/or with a drive by a suspension element interrelating their motion. The suspension element is guided and/or driven by a traction sheave and/or a drive shaft and/or a deflecting pulley. The suspension element is sheathed and/or belt-type, with a first layer made of a first plasticizable and/or elastomeric material, containing a first exterior surface, and with at least one tension member—rope-type, tissue-type, or comprising a multitude of partial elements—that is embedded in the first layer of the suspension element.

| 20100252368 | BRAKING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR ELEVATOR DRIVE - An elevator drive for driving and detaining an elevator car includes a traction wheel transmitting a driving or detaining force to an elevator car, a motor driving the traction wheel, a braking arrangement for detaining the traction wheel, and a drive shaft connecting the traction wheel, the motor and the braking arrangement. The braking arrangement contains at least two braking devices with the traction wheel arranged between to divide the braking torques transmitted by the traction wheel to the braking devices. Symmetrical division of the braking devices on either side of the traction wheel reduces by half the torque transmitted in the drive shaft. A risk of failure or breakage of the drive shaft is thereby significantly reduced and during a failure of the drive shaft, the braking function continues since the braking devices are distributed on both sides of the traction wheel. | 10-07-2010 |
| 20110132694 | ELEVATOR - A fixing point arranged at a guide rail consists substantially of a slide, which is movable along the guide rail and which is guided by guide shoes at the free limb of the guide rail and carries a yoke. A bracket, at which a damping element is supported, is arranged at the guide rail. The end of a belt is held by a connecting element, which in turn is suspended by a tie rod and nuts at the yoke. In the case of an emergency stop situation in which the brake of the drive unit retards the elevator car to standstill, the retardation forces arising in that case are transmitted by belt, connecting element and tie rod to the yoke, wherein the retardation forces produce a displacement of the slide downwardly into the spring-stressed position against the damping capability of the damping element. | 06-09-2011 |

| 20080271510 | WIRE PROCESSING MACHINE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING AND PROCESSING A CUT LENGTH OF WIRE - A swivel machine for wire processing has a coiler arranged between a cutting-off/insulation-stripping unit and a second swivel arm. The cut length of wire whose leading wire-end has been processed is coiled by a coiling disk of the coiler. After the leading wire-end of the cut length of wire has been processed, it is grasped by the coiler. A belt drive then advances the wire by the desired length of the cut length of wire, and the coiler coils the advanced wire simultaneously into a coil. After the coiling operation, a linearly movable stacker unit grasps the coil, and the coiling disk releases the coil. After the trailing wire-end has been processed, the stacker unit moves further in the wire-advance direction to the deposit. While the trailing wire-end is being processed, and while traveling to the deposit, the coil is provided with a bind. | 11-06-2008 |
