Abstract
A compensating rope sheave tie down assembly prevents the compensating rope sheave from sudden upward movement if the elevator car suddenly jumps upward. The compensating rope sheave assembly comprises a strap, an inertia reel that permits the strap to follow slow movement of the compensating rope sheave, and a spring retaining mechanism that maintains the strap taut at all times. By restricting the upward movement of the sheave, the sheave tie down prevents further upward movement of the elevator car as well.
