Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An elevator system includes a suspension traction device guided over at least one pulley and at least one counter pulley located adjacent to the pulley. The suspension traction device is guided between the pulley and the at least one counter pulley.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An elevator system including a suspension traction means guided over a pulley, wherein the pulley is driven by the suspension traction means, and at least one counter pulley located adjacent to the pulley, wherein the suspension traction means is guided between the pulley and the at least one counter pulley, comprising: the counter pulley having a central section with a first diameter and at least one side wall with a second diameter larger than the first diameter, wherein the suspension traction means is not in contact with the counter pulley when the suspension traction means is correctly guided over the pulley. 2. The elevator system according to claim 1 wherein the central section has a first width and the pulley has a second width, a ratio of the second width to the first width being between 1 and 1.8, preferably 1.125. 3. The elevator system according to claim 2 wherein the ratio of the second width to the first width is 1.125. 4. The elevator system according to claim 1 wherein a difference between the first diameter and the second diameter is greater than or equal to 4 cm. 5. The elevator system according to claim 4 wherein the difference between the first diameter and the second diameter is 6.2 cm. 6. The elevator system according to claim 1 wherein the pulley is a car pulley. 7. The elevator system according to claim 1 including another counter pulley located adjacent to the pulley. 8. The elevator system according to claim 1 wherein the suspension traction means is belt shaped. 9. The elevator system according to claim 1 wherein the suspension traction means is made of a plastic material. 10. The elevator system according to claim 1 wherein the pulley has a central portion, over which the suspension traction means is driven, with at least one of circumferential grooves, axial grooves, indentations and surface structuring. 11. The elevator system according to claim 1 including a sensor for detecting movement of at least one of the counter pulley and the pulley. 12. The elevator system according to claim 11 including a control unit for stopping the elevator system in response to detection of movement of the counter pulley by the sensor. 13. The elevator system according to claim 1 wherein the counter pulley has an axis of rotation, whereby a position of the axis is alterable.
