TRACTION ELEVATOR

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To support a drive with a building beam by connecting a reinforced concrete beam or the like positioned on the top of an elevator shaft and the upper end part of a counterweight rail through an apparatus foundation frame, and mounting an apparatus foundation for the drive and a reinforcing element member on the apparatus foundation frame. SOLUTION: An apparatus foundation frame 10 is fixed to the upper end parts of respective counterweight guide rails 9a, 9b, and formed out of an apparatus foundation 10a, respective connection columns 10b, 10c, and a reinforcing member 10d. A drive 6 and a fixing means 12 on one end of a rope 3 are installed on the apparatus foundation 10a to hold respective vertical loads firmly. The upper end parts of the respective connection pillars 10b, 10c are fixed to a building beam 14 positioned on the top of an elevator shaft, and support the horizontal load of the driving device 6 through a reinforcing member 10d and a supporting fitting 11. Lightweight concrete or the like can be used in the wall of the elevator shaft, thus it is possible to facilitate the installation of an elevator and restrain the transmission of vibration to a building.
