Abstract
An elevator cable hitch plate is isolated for the cab frame crosshead by an elastomeric pad and a mounting plate bolted to the crosshead is disposed between the pad and the crosshead. A stabilizer bracket is fixed to the mounting plate and to the hitch plate. The bracket allows limited vertical movement of the mounting plate and hitch plate relative to each other, but prevents lateral sliding movement therebetween. The bracket thus prevents the hoist cable thimble rods from contacting the edges of the holes in the plates through which the thimble rods pass. Minimal cable-induced vibration and noise is thus produced during operation of the elevator.
