Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1518811A1] An elevator apparatus according to the present invention includes a hoistway; a hoisted body ascending and descending inside the hoistway; a buffer disposed in a pit in a lower portion of the hoistway, for stopping the hoisted body and for absorbing mechanical shock therefrom; an arm disposed under the hoisted body, for tracking vertical movement of the hoisted body; and a switch activated in response to downward movement of the arm, for stopping the hoisted body. As the switch and the arm are disposed inside a vertical plane of projection of the hoisted body, a cross-sectional area of a hoistway is reduced. <IMAGE>
