ELEVATOR APPARATUS

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an elevator apparatus that prevents foreign matter on a blocking member from being sandwiched between a cage-side sill and the member, resulting in hindrance of movement thereof.SOLUTION: An elevator apparatus has a blocking member 35 for blocking a gap that may occur between a cage-side sill 31 and a landing-side sill. The blocking member 35 is driven by a drive mechanism between a blocking position where each gap is blocked and a retreat position of the lower part of the cage-side sill so as to move accompanying an opening/closing operation of the door of the cage. An upper surface 35A of the blocking member 35 inclines so as to become lower toward a front-end part in the direction of movement to the blocking position, thus preventing foreign matter 81 from being sandwiched as a result of retreat movement.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 9 【課題】塞ぎ部材上の異物が、かご側敷居との間に挟み込まれてその移動に支障をきたすことの無いエレベータ装置を提供する。【解決手段】かご側の敷居３１と乗り場側の敷居との間に生じる隙間を塞ぐ塞ぎ部材３５を有する。塞ぎ部材３５は、隙間を塞いだ塞ぎ位置と、かご側の敷居の下部の退避位置との間を、かご扉の開閉動作に伴って移動するように、駆動機構により駆動される。塞ぎ部材３５の上面３５Ａは、その塞ぎ位置への移動方向前端部に向うにしたがって低くなるように傾斜し、退避移動に伴う異物８１の挟まれを防止した。【選択図】図９
