Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is for an "Elevator entrance door assembly and method of installation." This invention relates to an improved sliding entrance door assembly for an elevator and the method of installing it. In one embodiment, the assembly includes one or more stationary panels affixed to the frame. The stationary panels consist of a side panel and a transom panel. The side panel replaces the wall adjacent to the elevator opening, while the transom panel is located above the sliding entry door and the side panel. By utilizing the stationary panel, which is thinner than a conventional wall, the sliding entry door assembly occupies less hallway space. In an alternate embodiment, two sliding entry doors are installed in the frame, positioned in separate planes so that one door can slide behind the other. The advantages of this door assembly include quicker installation and reduced space requirements compared to conventional door assemblies. Additionally, the assembly closes the gap to the shaftway as soon as it is installed.

Another notable patent by Carosella is the "Sliding elevator-door assembly and method of installation." This invention also pertains to an improved sliding entrance door assembly for elevators. In this embodiment, the elevator sliding entrance door assembly comprises, viewed from the hallway, a sill, a left vertical post with a top portion, a right vertical post with a top portion positioned parallel to the left post, and a header formed with an open notch connecting the left and right posts. The door frame consists of a strike jamb, head jamb, and return jamb attached to the header, one post, and sill. An elevator door track is affixed to the header, and the assembly includes a sliding elevator door with rolling means to rollingly suspend the door from the track. The door is adjustable after being suspended through the opening formed in the header. Furthermore, the slide sill has a groove that defines a lower track for the door, extending between the left and right posts.
