That is, the switch 7 and cam 8 comprise a stopping means during a maintenance inspection operation.
  • a stopping position of the car 2 stopped by means of the stopping means of the switch 7 and cam 8 is a position where an inspector 4 riding on the roof of the car 2 may easily perform maintenance inspection of the hoist 3 and is set such that there is a gap A (the A shown in FIG. 1) which allows the inspector 4 access between the roof of the car 2 and outside the hoistway 1.
  • the gap A is a distance between the roof top of the car 2 and an upper portion of a frame (upper frame) comprising an entrance of the elevator landing 10 of a highest floor, and the roof top of the car 2 is stopped at a predetermined position lower than the upper frame of the entrance of the elevator landing 10. Since the car 2 is set so as to not rise above the stopping position during maintenance inspection of the hoist 3 by the stopping means, it is possible to insure the safety of the inspector 4 situated between the hoistway upper portion 1a and the roof top of the car 2 during the maintenance inspection.
  • the inspector 4 operates a button and the like of the control panel 9 disposed at the elevator landing 10 of the highest floor of the building and operation of the elevator system is switched from normal operation to operation for maintenance inspection.
  • maintenance inspection as performed by a number of inspectors 4 will be explained.
  • the inspector 4 performs a maintenance inspection operation of the hoist 3 in a state where the car 2 is stopped at this predetermined position. In this case, once one wishes for some reason to go outside the hoistway 1 or in a case where the other inspector also participates in the operation, it is possible to have free access from the gap A connecting the elevator landing 10 and the roof of the car 2 using the stepladder 11 without raising/lowering the car 2.
  • the maintenance inspection operation is finished and the inspector 4 operates a button and the like of the control panel 9 disposed at the elevator landing 10 of the highest floor of the building, the cam 8 is again housed in the car 2.
  • the inspector(s) 4 may quickly evacuate to the elevator landing 10 outside the hoistway 1, and it is possible to easily alternate between the roof of the car 2 and outside the hoistway 1 (the elevator landing 10) during the maintenance inspection operation and the safety of the maintenance inspection operation may be increased.
  • the stopping means comprises a mechanical means of the switch 7 and the cam 8
  • a program for stopping at the predetermined position may also be loaded into the control apparatus of the elevator system in advance.
  • FIG. 2 is a cross sectional drawing showing an elevator system according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention, and except for a step portion 12, all other points are similar to FIG. 1 which was explained in Embodiment 1. Thus, portions which are similar or correspond to those in Embodiment 1 will be assigned similar reference numerals and their explanation will be omitted.
  • a step portion 12 is provided on an approximately central portion of the car-side door 6. Although the step portion 12 is housed flush with the door 6 during normal operation of the elevator system, it is provided so as to be capable of protruding during a maintenance inspection operation and the inspector 4 uses the step portion 12 for stepping when accessing the elevator landing 10 from the roof top of the car 2.
  • the step portion 12 for the elevator system described in FIG. 2 is shown in FIG. 3 as viewed from the elevator landing 10. As shown in FIG.
  • the step portion(s) 12 is provided on both sides of the biparting car-side door 6 and each portion protrudes during the maintenance inspection operation and the inspector 4, using these as footstool, is able to climb to the roof top of the car 2.
  • step portion 12 is not limited as such and may also be provided on one side of the biparting car-side door 6 to be used footstool to climb to the roof top of the car 2.
  • FIG. 4 is a cross sectional drawing showing an elevator system according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention, and although a height of an entrance of the elevator landing 10 to the car 2 differs, all other points are similar to FIG. 1 which was explained in Embodiment 1. Hence, portions which are similar or correspond to those in Embodiment 1 will be assigned similar reference numerals and their explanation will be omitted.
  • FIG. 5 is a drawing showing the relationship between an entrance height of a landing of a normal elevator system and an entrance height of a car.
  • an entrance height B of the elevator landing 10 and an entrance height C of the car are set so as to be approximately the same. That is to say, structures disposed on the upper portion of the roof of the car 2 are concealed when the landing-side door 5 of the elevator landing 10 is opened, and this improves an external appearance of the elevator system.
  • shielding plate 13 is removably provided on an upper frame of the landing entrance and between the hoistway 1 and the landing-side door 5.
  • the inspector 4 operates the control panel 9 provided at the highest floor of a building and switches operation of the elevator system from normal operation to operation for maintenance inspection and the landing-side door of the highest floor elevator landing 10 is opened. Then, the inspector 4 temporarily removes the shielding plate for inspection.
  • the cam 8, housed in an external side surface of the car 2 during normal operation extends outside the side surface of the car 2.
