Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1808398A1] The present invention relates to a brake shoe (5) for use in an elevator safety gear (4). In use, the safety gear (4) exerts a specific application force (N) to the brake shoe (5) causing the brake shoe (5) to frictionally engage with a guide rail (3). A frictional braking force (F 1 ,F 2 ) developed by the brake shoe (5) increases during engagement.
