viewing elevator

[0018] figure 1 It is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the structure of the viewing elevator according to the first embodiment, and shows a state where the structure of the lowermost floor in the hoistway and the structure of the car are viewed from the side.

[0019] The elevator for viewing has a hoistway 10 surrounded by a transparent body on the outer surface of the building or a hoistway 10 provided in a hoistway part (Fukiobu part) in the building. The elevator car 11 is installed in the elevator passage 10 so as to be able to rise and fall. Also, in figure 1 Parts of the mechanism such as cables or hoists for lifting the car 11 are omitted.

[0020] At the entrance and exit on the front of the car 11, the car door 12 is installed so that it can be opened and closed freely. When the car 11 arrives at the boarding area 21 of each floor, the car door 12 engages with the boarding area door 22 provided in the boarding area 21 to open and close.

[0021] In addition, amon

[0035] Next, the second embodiment will be described.

[0036] figure 2 It is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the structure of the viewing elevator according to the second embodiment, and shows a state where the structure of the lowermost floor in the hoistway and the structure of the car are viewed from the side. Also, regarding the same as in the above-mentioned first embodiment figure 1 The same parts of the structure are attached with the same symbols, and their description is omitted.

[0037] In the second embodiment, in addition to the structure of the first embodiment described above, the aesthetics viewed from the outside of the lift passage 10 is also considered. That is, in the passage 31 outside the elevator passage 10 on the lowest floor of the building, it is legally necessary to provide a strong wall 32 to prevent falling. However, if a transparent material is used to constitute all of the fall prevention wall 32, the pedestrian B passing through the pass

[0043] Next, a third embodiment will be described.

[0044] image 3 It is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the structure of the viewing elevator according to the third embodiment, and shows a state where the structure of the lowermost floor in the hoistway and the structure of the car are viewed from the side. Also, for the first and second embodiments described above, figure 1 and figure 2 The same parts of the structure are attached with the same symbols, and their description is omitted.

[0045] In the third embodiment, the height of the viewing window 14 from the floor of the car is changed according to the depth h of the pit 10a of the elevator passage 10. That is, the depth h of the pit 10a of the hoistway 10 is determined by the rated speed and / or construction conditions, etc., and differs depending on the object (building). Therefore, it is necessary to appropriately set the height of the viewing window 14 from the floor of the car according to the relationsh
