Pneumatic vacuum elevator seal
View Patent ↗A pneumatic vacuum elevator cylinder has a cabin inserted therein. A structural plate of the cabin has a liner attached thereto. This liner has an integral bumper formed on an external surface thereof for impact the inner surfaces of the pneumatic vacuum elevator cylinder. The bumpers have a variety of features that facilitate the smooth ride of the cabin within the elevator cylinder.
1. An elevator cabin seal comprising:
a first liner component attached to a cabin structural plate and also attached to a connector having
a first changing bumper integrally formed on the first liner component wherein the first changing bumper is not inflatable;
a second liner component attached to the cabin structural plate and also attached to the connector having
a second changing bumper integrally formed on the second liner component wherein the second changing bumper is not inflatable; wherein the first changing bumper impacts an internal surface of a cabin thoroughfare; and the second changing bumper impacts the internal surface of the cabin thoroughfare; wherein the first changing bumper is formed as an ellipse.
2. An elevator cabin seal system comprising:
an elevator cabin having:
an elevator cabin structural plate having a bottom surface, a top surface and an edge that integrates the top surface with the bottom surface, wherein the elevator cabin structural plate is attached to a top portion of an elevator cabin lateral surface;
a first liner component bumper attached to the edge of the elevator cabin structural plate wherein the first liner component bumper impacts an internal surface of an elevator channel; wherein the first liner component bumper has a cutout on its back side having a lip directly attached to the edge of the elevator cabin structural plate; and a ledge proximal to the lip attached to the bottom side of the elevator cabin structural plate.
