Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An elevator car includes a car-platform device including a car-platform panel, anti-vibration devices, and a car-platform support frame. The car-platform panel includes a panel main body, a frame structure including a panel frame surrounding an outer peripheral portion of the panel main body, and a panel upper plate and a panel lower plate for individually covering upper surfaces and lower surfaces of the panel main body and the panel frame. The anti-vibration devices receive the frame structure by upper surfaces thereof. The car-platform support frame supports the car-platform panel through an intermediation of the anti-vibration devices. The upper surfaces of the anti-vibration devices are arranged at a height position between an upper surface and a lower surface of the car-platform panel in a vertical direction.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An elevator car, comprising: a car-platform panel comprising: a panel main body; a frame structure comprising a panel frame surrounding an outer peripheral portion of the panel main body; and a panel upper plate and a panel lower plate for individually covering an upper surface and a lower surface of the panel main body and an upper surface and a lower surface of the panel frame; an anti-vibration device for receiving the frame structure by an upper surface thereof; and a car-platform support frame for supporting the car-platform panel through an intermediation of the anti-vibration device, the upper surface of the anti-vibration device being arranged at a height position between an upper surface and a lower surface of the car-platform panel in a vertical direction at least one of a plurality of frame members forming the panel frame is a frame member, and the frame member comprises a hollow member having a rectangular cross-section; the hollow member has a frame opening portion formed in any one of a lower surface and a side surface thereof; and the anti-vibration device receives the frame member in a state in which the anti-vibration device is inserted into the hollow member through the frame opening portion, wherein an inner surface of the hollow member is supported by the upper surface of the anti-vibration device.
