Abstract
A retractable stop and the method of use thereof to control travel range of an elevator system are disclosed. The retractable stop may include a vertical mounting bracket, an impact plate, and a support member. The support member may include an upper end pivotably connected to a distal portion of the impact plate and a lower end movable in relation to the mounting bracket. The proximal portion of the impact plate may be pivotably connected to the mounting bracket. When the retractable stop is in a retracted position, the impact plate does not significantly contribute to the lateral profile of the retractable stop.
