INSPECTION DEVICE FOR EMERGENCY LIGHTING IN ELEVATOR CAR

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently inspect the operation of emergency lighting in an elevator car. SOLUTION: A series circuit made of an inspection switch 7 and a relay 3 is connected in parallel to an ordinary illuminating lamp 2 in an elevator car, and the relay 3 is actuated through the operation of the inspection switch 7. The output of a secondary battery 5 is thereby selected and fed to a power failure indicator lamp 6. According to this construction, an inspection worker is capable of checking the operation of the power failure indicator lamp 6 simply through the operation of the inspection switch 7 fitted to the car and at the same time, the illumination lamp 2 is continuously kept lit even during an inspection work. Thus, an elevator operation becomes free from a hindrance and the operation efficiency of an elevator is also improved.
