An elevator car door apparatus includes a door frame, a door motor, a motor pulley, a reduction pulley, a first driving pulley, a second driving pulley, a reduction belt, and a driving belt. The door motor, the reduction pulley, and the first driving pulley are supported on the door frame by means of a unit supporting member. The unit supporting member includes a flat plate portion that is placed on a frame vertical surface of the door frame. The reduction pulley and the first driving pulley are rotatable around a fixed shaft that is fixed so as to be perpendicular to the flat plate portion.

Elevator car door apparatus

In an elevator car door apparatus, a locking member is disposed on a blade-carrying car door, and is displaceable between an unlocked position and a locked position interdependently with movement of a doorstop-side blade. A guiding portion is disposed on the locking member. A guiding cam is disposed outside the blade-carrying car door. When the car is positioned outside an appropriate floor alignment position, the blade-carrying car door moves in an opening direction, the guiding portion moves along the guiding cam, the locking member displaces to the locked position, and the doorstop-side blade also displaces to a locking accommodating position, the locking member catches in a fixed latch, and movement of the blade-carrying car door in the opening direction is prevented.

In an elevator car door locking apparatus, a doorstop-side blade is disposed on a car door by a linking mechanism, and is displaceable horizontally between a locked position, and an unlocked position that is further away from a door pocket than the locked position. A balance weight is disposed on an opposite side of the pivoting shaft of the link from the doorstop-side blade. The doorstop-side blade comes into contact with a landing door engaging member and displaces, and the balance weight also displaces away from the doorstop-side blade, due to the car door moving toward the door pocket side when a car is in position at a floor.

Elevator car door locking apparatus

A door engagement device for an elevator according to the present invention is configured in such a manner that biasing-force applying/changing means applies a turning preventing force for preventing turning of a lever main body and changes a direction of a biasing force to a direction of an anti-turning preventing force to the lever main body by action of turning guiding means with movement of a car door. Accordingly, an engagement-mechanism driving device can be driven with a reduced space at low cost.
