A passenger conveyor includes a platform floor having a slanting portion. A length of the slanting portion is not less than a length of each of treadboards of the passenger conveyor, and at least one of the treadboards of an advance side, when passing under the platform floor, is disposed horizontally beneath the slanting portion. With this arrangement, a push cart or the like can be smoothly moved from the treadboard to the platform floor.

A braking device for an elevator winding machine generates a braking force by contacting a rotary body driven by a rotary shaft of the winding machine with a brake section supported through the intermediary of an elastic body. The elastic body has a nonlinear elastic characteristic so that a starting shock to the passengers in the elevator car is prevented and the braking torque detecting accuracy is improved.

Braking device for elevator winding machine and elevator using the

An elevator apparatus includes an electric motor for driving the elevator apparatus, an elevator cage adapted to be lifted or lowered by the electric motor, a brake device for holding and retaining an elevator driving system, including the electric motor, and a malfunction detecting device responsive to the application of a torque to a retainer section of the brake device during the lifting or lowering of the elevator cage.
