Decorative panel

Building panel, in particular for use in elevator cars, includes a glass assembly having two layers of glass and a clear interlayer therebetween and which glass assembly is compliant with safety code ANSI Z97.1, a decorative sheet arranged alongside the first layer of glass, and a backing sheet arranged alongside the decorative sheet on an opposite side from the glass assembly. An optional support structure is arranged alongside the backing sheet on an opposite side from the decorative sheet. The decorative sheet may be a wood veneer.

New elevator cab construction and reconstruction of old elevator cabs are frequently presented with the problem of increasing the interior size of the elevator cab in an elevator shaft of limited size. This invention relates to an elevator cab design providing a novel way of increasing internal cab size of a standard elevator cab while still retaining decorative design features by having removable decorative panels. The elevator cab is constructed of the normal elements, namely, a platform, a ceiling, cab shell walls, stiffeners and corner stiffener risers. The cab shell walls have a base and transom and shell panels there between designed to overlap one another so as to be readily attached by spot welding or adhesive. The stiffeners are hat-shaped elongated sections typically of stainless steel that are attached to the inside of the shell panels. The stiffeners may also be formed by hat-shaped ribs formed in the shell panels. Removable decorative panels of approximately the same thickness as the stiffeners are hung directly on the interior of shell panels between the stiffeners. Advantageously, the use of the stiffeners on the inside of the shell panels and the mounting of the decorative panels on the shell panel between the stiffeners increases the internal width and depth of the elevator cab.

This invention relates to a cost saving way of solving a difficult problem in the structure and installation and leveling of an elevator sill. This invention provides ease of installing from the hallway without the use of a moving elevator platform. The structure consists of a sill, a cradle for the sill and a pair of end brackets for supporting the cradle. The pair of spaced L-shaped end brackets are provided for attachment to the hall floor. A vertically adjustable sill cradle is supported at its end portions by the brackets and a horizontally and vertically adjustable sill is mounted on the sill cradle. The elevator door sill cradle is adjustable vertically by means of fasteners that are moveable in vertical slots in the end brackets and is horizontally adjustable on the cradle by means of fasteners that are moveable in horizontal slots provided in the cradle.

Elevator entrance sill structure and installation method

The present invention provides a method and structure for decorating the interior of elevator cab walls by even unskilled personnel, without wastage of time, and of sufficient modularity so as to be adaptable for retrofitting on existing elevator cab walls and accommodating existing constraints of space, dimension and weight. In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of horizontal and vertical members are joined together to form an advantageous lattice frame structure for supporting decorative panels. The horizontal members incorporate downward facing elongated hanger slots for removable engagement with upwardly facing elongated finger members that are affixed to the interior wall surface of the elevator cab. Swing arrester members are affixed to the cab wall and are engagable with the vertical member to inhibit lateral motion of the lattice frame structure. The lattice frame is made of lightweight extruded aluminum members of the same cross section.

Elevator wall panel mounting structures and method of installation for cab interior

This invention relates to an improved sliding entrance door assembly for an elevator and to the method of installing the assembly. In one embodiment the assembly includes one or more stationary panels affixed to the frame. The stationary panels are comprised of a side panel and a transom panel. The side panel replaces the wall adjacent to the elevator opening. The transom panel is located above the sliding entry door and the side panel. By using the stationary panel, which is thinner than a conventional wall, the sliding entry door assembly uses less of the hallway space. In an alternate embodiment, two sliding entry doors are installed in the frame. They are in separate planes so that one door can slide behind the other. The advantages to the present door assembly is that it may be installed in less time and the assembly requires less space than conventional door assemblies. Also the assembly closes the gap to the shaftway as soon as it is installed.
