Abstract
An elevator buffer system includes a buffer (), a frame () spaced above the buffer, a platform () spaced above the frame, and a pre-compressed pad device () disposed between the frame and the platform and engaged to one of the frame and the platform. The system is constructed to move between a non-strike position, where the pre-compressed pad device is spaced from the other of the frame and the platform; a mid-strike position, where the pre-compressed pad device is in contact with the other of the frame and the platform; and a full-strike position, where the pre-compressed pad device is further compressed against the other of the frame and the platform.
