Latest Patents

Morris's latest patents include an "Elevator car with improved car door clutch" and an "Elevator car with improved door lock." The first patent describes an elevator car featuring a clutch that is pivotally carried by a car door. This clutch is biased to an operative position, allowing drive rollers of an adjacent hatch door to be engaged by 'open' and 'close' vanes. A first parallelogram linkage operates the close vane in direct response to the car door position, moving in the opposite direction to the initial car door opening movement. A second parallelogram linkage operates the open vane when it contacts a hatch door roller at the start of door opening, unlocking the car door by retracting a plunger from an opening in the car door sill. Maintenance personnel can manually overcome the car door clutch bias to disengage the car door from a hatch door.

The second patent, "Elevator car with improved door lock," features a clutch carried by the car door for engaging drive rollers of an adjacent hatch door. A door operator mounted on the car includes a door drive arm linked to the car door via a door crank arm. A door lock carried by the door clutch prevents normal operation of the door crank arm unless the open vane of the door clutch contacts a hatch door drive roller. This design ensures that the car door cannot be opened by a passenger inside the car unless the elevator is in a floor landing zone.
