ELEVATOR DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress required hoistway plane area small and to increase effective utilizing space in a building by properly arranging a guide rail for a car and a guide rail for a counter weight. SOLUTION: The guide rail 10 for the car and the guide rail 11 for the counter weight are arranged in a direction in which their 'back faces' and faced each other and so that 'a regulating part' may be located on a substantially straight line. The car 1 and the counter weight 2 are elevated/lowered along each of the guide rails 10, 11 via a rope suspended on a hoisting machine. At this time, an unused part is reduced by arranging each one pair of guide rails 10, 11 for car in parallel with a wall surface and on a straight line within a hoistway plane. The counter weight 2 is arranged between a pair of guide shoes 4 projecting from the car 1 and hoistway plane area is suppressed to a small degree. Brackets of each guide rail 10, 11 are integrated to facilitate manufacturing.
