| 20090038892 | EVACUATION ASSISTANCE DEVICE FOR ELEVATOR - In a building, a service zone including a plurality of floors is set. The building is provided with an elevator that is assigned to the floors in the service zone as service floors. In an event of a fire in the building, an evacuation support apparatus for the elevator controls the operation of the elevator to convey those stranded in the building to an evacuation floor. The evacuation support apparatus has an emergency control device and an evacuation guidance device. The emergency control device has a rescue floor setting portion for setting at least a predetermined one of the service floors as a rescue floor, and an evacuation operation command portion for controlling the elevator such that evacuation operation is performed to vertically reciprocate a car between the rescue floor and the evacuation floor. The evacuation guidance device is installed in the building to impart to those stranded in the building evacuation information including information for specifying the rescue floor, based on information from the emergency control device. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20090104972 | Gaming Machine - A slot machine executes a special effect process when a predetermined condition is satisfied. In the special effect process, a main CPU changes a display style of a stopped multi symbol from a first display style to a second display style, while displaying an effect character image on a variable display portion. Further, the effect character image is displayed while being overlapped with a part of symbol display areas, while maintaining a state in which most of figures of stopped symbols can be seen. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20090314587 | ELEVATOR CONTROL SYSTEM - In an elevator control system, an evacuation operation control section outputs a command for evacuation operation by an elevator in case of fire. Moreover, in case of fire, the evacuation operation control section controls opening and closing of a fire door adjacent to an elevator landing based on information from a passenger detector for detecting a passenger at the elevator landing and information on a fire situation in a vicinity of the elevator landing. | 12-24-2009 |
| 20090321190 | FIRE EVACUATION SUPPORT SYSTEM AND FIRE DOOR CONTROL DEVICE - Provided, on each floor of a building, are an elevator installation zone, in which an elevator is installed, a neighboring zone which neighbors the elevator installation zone, and is in communication with the elevator installation zone through a first communication port, and an external zone which is in communication with the neighboring zone through a second communication port different from the first communication port. The first communication port is opened and closed by a first fire door, and the second communication port is opened and closed by a second fire door. A fire evacuation support system manages an operation of the elevator based on information from a plurality of fire detectors provided on each floor when a fire occurs in the building. Further, the fire evacuation support system includes an evacuation operation command section in which implementation of an evacuation operation for transporting a person left in the building to an evacuation floor is allowed for the elevator when contamination due to the fire is avoided in both the elevator installation zone and the neighboring zone, and in which the implementation of the evacuation operation is stopped when at least anyone of the elevator installation zone and the neighboring zone is contaminated due to the fire. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100200336 | REFUGE SUPPORT SYSTEM OF DOUBLE DECK ELEVATOR - An evacuation support system for a double-deck elevator allows people stranded in a building to evacuate to an evacuation floor upon an occurrence of a fire in the building including a plurality of floors. The evacuation support system includes an evacuation support apparatus including a rescue floor setting mechanism, and a double-deck elevator including a connected car including an upper car and a lower car which are vertically connected to each other. The rescue floor setting mechanism determines two adjacent floors among respective floors satisfying a predetermined condition as candidate rescue floors and sets, based on a floor on which the fire occurs, at least any one of the candidate rescue floors as the rescue floor. The double deck elevator performs an evacuation operation for moving the connected car in a reciprocating manner between the rescue floor and the evacuation floor based on a command from the evacuation support apparatus. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20100213011 | REFUGE SUPPORTING DEVICE OF ELEVATOR - An evacuation support apparatus for an elevator causes an elevator to perform an evacuation operation for conveying people stranded in a building including a plurality of floors to an evacuation floor in an emergency. Further, the evacuation support apparatus for an elevator includes rescue floor setting means for setting the floor determined based on a predetermined condition as a rescue floor, the floor being selected from the plurality of floors, and response floor setting means for registering a call only for the floor on which a call input device for specific persons is operated in a case of the evacuation operation as the call for an evacuation response floor, the call input device for specific persons and a call input device for general persons being provided on each of the plurality of floors. The elevator includes a common car which moves in a reciprocating manner between the rescue floor and the evacuation floor in the case of the evacuation operation. The common car is capable of responding to the registered call for the evacuation response floor in the case of the evacuation operation. | 08-26-2010 |
| 20110108365 | EVACUATION SUPPORTING SYSTEM - An evacuation supporting system which can provide elevators in a building for evacuation in event of a fire and can substantially reduce the burden required by the rescue at the site of the fire by providing, before the arrival of firemen at the building, the firemen with information on the evacuation condition of the weak and the condition of evacuation of those who are present in the building carried out by use of the elevators. In an ancillary room within the building, there is installed an evacuation detection device which is used by disaster preventing staff in a disaster prevention center within the building to check for persons who have escaped into the ancillary room. When a fire has been detected by a fire detector, the elevators in the building are provided for evacuation for those who are present in the building, and the input status of the evacuation detection device and the evacuation operation condition of the elevator are transmitted to an external computer environment. | 05-12-2011 |
| 20110128159 | ELEVATOR EVACUATION SUPPORTING SYSTEM - Provided is an elevator evacuation supporting system which can appropriately guide people living in a building to the hall of an elevator in the case of occurrence of a disaster. For this purpose, the elevator evacuation supporting system includes an elevator provided in a building, an evacuation operation device which, in the case of occurrence of a disaster in the building, selects service floors of the elevator from floors of the building according to the disaster condition of the building, and causes the elevator to perform an evacuation operation for ascent and descent between the service floors, a passage indication device provided in a passage leading to a hall of the elevator, and an escape routes display device which, during the evacuation operation of the elevator, causes the passage indication device provided in a passage leading to a hall of the elevator of the service floor to indicate escape routes to the hall of the elevator of the service floor according to the disaster condition of the service floor. | 06-02-2011 |
