Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an elevator door stop device. [Background technology]

[0002] In conventional elevator door stop buffer members, the left and right buffer members installed at the abutting ends of both elevator sliding doors have protruding and recessed portions from the door stop ends, and the shape of the abutting contact surface is formed symmetrically around the center point M when the abutting parts are aligned.

[0003] In the above-described elevator door stop buffer member, gaps are less likely to occur at the collision portion, and the left and right buffer members can have the same shape. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 60-23280 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, in conventional elevator door stop buffer members, the left and right buffer members are inserted into the sliding doors, respectively, and are fixed in place by being sandwiched between them in the width and depth directions of the doorway. Furthermore, when the doors are closed, the left and right buffer members are in a state where their abutting portions are in contact with each other. Therefore, when the doors are closed, no gap is created between the left and right buffer members, and the air inside the doorway and the air outside the doorway cannot be ventilated through the gap between the left and right buffer members.

[0006] The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In the elevator doorstop device of the present invention, a first door and a second door move in opposite directions to each other in the width direction of the doorway to open the doorway at an open position where they are away from the center of the doorway and close the doorway at a closed position where they are close to the center of the doorway, and the doorstop surface of the first door and the doorstop surface of the second door are opposed to each other in the width direction of the doorway, and the elevator device includes a first doorstop member attached to the doorstop surface of the first door and a second doorstop member attached to the doorstop surface of the second door, the first doorstop member has a first tip surface opposed to the doorstop surface of the second door and a first side end surface facing one direction in the depth direction of the doorway, and the second doorstop member has a second tip surface opposed to the doorstop surface of the first door and a second side end surface facing the other direction in the depth direction of the doorway, When the door is in the closed position, a first gap is formed between the first tip surface and the doorstop surface of the second door, a second gap is formed between the second tip surface and the doorstop surface of the first door, the first side end surface and the second side end surface face each other in the depth direction of the entrance, and the first doorstop member or the second doorstop member is arranged to be movable in the depth direction of the entrance, so that the first doorstop member and the second doorstop member can switch their mutual states between a closed state and a communicating state when the first door and the second door are in the closed position. In the closed state, the first side end surface and the second side end surface come together, so that the first gap and the second gap are not in communication with each other via the first side end surface and the second side end surface, and in the communicating state, so that a third gap is formed between the first side end surface and the second side end surface, so that the first gap, the second gap, and the third gap are in communication with each other.

[0008] In the elevator doorstop device according to the present invention, a first door moves in the width direction of the entrance to open the entrance at an open position away from a doorstop frame that forms one side of the entrance in the width direction, and closes the entrance at a closed position approaching the doorstop frame, and a doorstop surface of the first door and a doorstop surface of the doorstop frame face each other in the width direction of the entrance. The elevator doorstop device includes a first doorstop member attached to the doorstop surface of the first door and a second doorstop member attached to the doorstop surface of the doorstop frame, the first doorstop member having a first tip surface facing the doorstop surface of the doorstop frame and a first side end surface facing one direction in the depth direction of the entrance, and the second doorstop member having a second tip surface facing the doorstop surface of the first door and a second side end surface facing the other direction in the depth direction of the entrance, and When the door is in this position, a first gap is formed between the first tip surface and the door stop surface of the door stop frame, a second gap is formed between the second tip surface and the door stop surface of the first door, the first side end surface and the second side end surface face each other in the depth direction of the entrance, and the first door stop member or the second door stop member is arranged to be movable in the depth direction of the entrance, so that the states of the first door stop member and the second door stop member when the first door is in the closed position can be switched between a closed state and a communicating state, and the closed state is a state in which the first side end surface and the second side end surface are brought together, so that the first gap and the second gap are not communicated between the first side end surface and the second side end surface, and the communicating state is a state in which a third gap is formed between the first side end surface and the second side end surface, so that the first gap, the second gap, and the third gap are communicated. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] In the elevator doorstop device of the present invention, by placing the first doorstop member and the second doorstop member in a closed state, when the door of the doorway is in the closed position, noise can be prevented from being transmitted from the inside of the doorway to the outside of the doorway through the gap between the first doorstop member and the second doorstop member, and by placing the first doorstop member and the second doorstop member in a communicating state, when the door of the doorway is in the closed position, the air inside the doorway and the air outside the doorway can be ventilated through the gap between the first doorstop member and the second doorstop member.

This straight line is shown by a two-dot chain line in Figure 4(b).

[0049] In the closed state and the communicating state, the first doorstop member 19 does not protrude beyond the doorstop surface 14b of the first door 7 in either direction in the depth direction of the doorway 1. In the closed state and the communicating state, the second doorstop member 20 does not protrude beyond the doorstop surface 14b of the second door 8 in either direction in the depth direction of the doorway.

[0050] As described above, the first doorstop member 19 and the second doorstop member 20 are switchable between a closed state and a communicating state.

[0051] In the elevator doorstop device in embodiment 1, the first door 7 and the second door 8 move in opposite directions in the width direction of the doorway 1 to open the doorway 1 at an open position where they are far from the center of the doorway 1, and close the doorway 1 at a closed position where they are close to the center of the doorway 1, and the doorstop surface 14b of the first door 7 and the doorstop surface 14b of the second door 8 are opposed to each other in the width direction of the doorway 1. The first door stop member 19 has a first tip surface 19a that faces the door stop surface 14b of the second door 8 and a first side end surface 19b that faces one direction in the depth direction of the doorway 1, and the second door stop member 20 has a second tip surface 20a that faces the door stop surface 14b of the first door 7 and a second side end surface 20b that faces the other direction in the depth direction of the doorway 1, and the first door 7 and the second door 8 When the first door 7 and the second door 8 are in the closed position, a first gap 23 is formed between the first tip surface 19a and the door stop surface 14b of the second door 8, and a second gap 24 is formed between the second tip surface 20a and the door stop surface 14b of the first door 7, and the first side end surface 19b and the second side end surface 20b face each other in the depth direction of the doorway 1. The first door stop member 19 is provided so as to be movable in the depth direction of the doorway 1, so that when the first door 7 and the second door 8 are in the closed position, the first door stop member 19 and the second door stop member 20 The states of these gaps can be switched between a closed state and a communicating state. In the closed state, the first side end face 19b and the second side end face 20b are brought together, so that the first gap 23 and the second gap 24 are not connected between the first side end face 19b and the second side end face 20b. In the communicating state, a third gap 25 is formed between the first side end face 19b and the second side end face 20b, so that the first gap 23, the second gap 24, and the third gap 25 are connected to each other.

[0052] As a result, by placing the first doorstop member 19 and the second doorstop member 20 in a closed state, when the first door 7 and the second door 8 are in the closed position, noise is prevented from being transmitted from the inside of the entrance / exit 1 to the outside of the entrance / exit 1 through the gap between the first doorstop member 19 and the second doorstop member 70, and by placing the first doorstop member 19 and the second doorstop member 20 in a communicating state, when the first door 7 and the second door 8 are in the closed position, the air inside the entrance / exit 1 and the air outside the entrance / exit 1 can be ventilated through the gap between the first doorstop member 19 and the second doorstop member 70.

[0053] Furthermore, the first doorstop member 19 and the second doorstop member 20 can be switched between the closed state and the communicating state without changing the widthwise positions of the first door 7 and the second door 8 in the closed position.

[0054] In the elevator doorstop device of embodiment 1, the thickness of the first doorstop member 19 in the depth direction of the entrance 1 is thinner than the thickness of the doorstop surface 14b of the first door 7 in the depth direction of the entrance 1, and the thickness of the second doorstop member 20 in the depth direction of the entrance 1 is thinner than the thickness of the doorstop surface 14b of the second door 8 in the depth direction of the entrance 1, so that in the closed state and the connected state, the first doorstop member 19 does not protrude in either direction in the depth direction of the entrance 1 beyond the doorstop surface 14b of the first door 7, and the second doorstop member 20 does not protrude in either direction in the depth direction of the entrance 1 beyond the doorstop surface 14b of the second door 8.

[0055] This allows the first door stop member 19 and the second door stop member 20 to be installed without affecting the installation positions of the equipment installed on the first door 7 and the second door 8. For example, when safety devices that detect the presence of a user between the first door 7 and the second door 8 are installed further outward in the depth direction of the doorway 1 than the door stop surface 14b of the first door 7 and further outward in the depth direction of the doorway 1 than the door stop surface 14b of the second door 8, the first door stop member 19 and the second door stop member 20 can be installed without affecting the installation positions of the safety devices. Examples of such safety devices include a safety tissue, which is a mechanical sensor, and a multi-beam door sensor, which is a photoelectric door sensor.

[0056] In the elevator doorstop device of embodiment 1, the first side end face 19b and the second side end face 20b are each curved in a direction perpendicular to the height direction of the entranceway 1, and in the connected state, a straight line passing through the end of the doorstop surface 14b of the first door 7 toward which the first side end face 19b faces in the depth direction of the entranceway 1 and the end of the doorstop surface 14b of the second door 8 toward which the second side end face 20b faces in the depth direction of the entranceway 1 crosses the first doorstop member 19 and the second doorstop member 20.

[0057] As a result, in the connected state, the rod-shaped body cannot penetrate the first gap 23, the second gap 24 and the third gap 25, and does not protrude from the space inside the entrance / exit 1 to the space outside the entrance / exit 1, thereby preventing damage to equipment installed in the space of the elevator hoistway.

[0058] In addition, in the communication state, noise transmitted from the inside of the entrance 1 to the outside of the entrance 1 through the first gap 23, the second gap 24 and the third gap 25 can be reduced.

[0059] In addition, in the communicating state, light can be prevented from shining directly from the inside of the entrance / exit 1 to the outside of the entrance / exit 1 through the first gap 23, the second gap 24 and the third gap 25.

[0060] In the elevator doorstop device of embodiment 1, in the connected state, a straight line passing through the end of the doorstop surface 14b of the first door 7 facing the first side end face 19b in the depth direction of the entranceway 1 and the end of the doorstop surface 14b of the second door 8 facing the second side end face 20b in the depth direction of the entranceway 1 only needs to cross at least one of the first doorstop member 19 and the second doorstop member 20.

[0061] In the elevator doorstop device of embodiment 1, at least one of the first doorstop member 19 and the second doorstop member 20 is provided so as to be movable in the depth direction of the doorway 1, so that the first doorstop member 19 and the second doorstop member 20 can switch their states between a closed state and a communicating state when the first door 7 and the second door 8 are in the closed position. When the second doorstop member 20 is provided so as to be movable in the depth direction of the doorway 1, the round hole 14g is made an elongated hole, and the elongated hole is oriented longitudinally in the depth direction of the doorway 1.

[0062] In the elevator door stop device in the first embodiment, first door stop member 19 and second door stop member 20 may be inverted with respect to a plane perpendicular to the depth direction of doorway 1.

[0063] In the elevator doorstop device of embodiment 1, the entrance / exit 1 is not limited to a two-door central opening entrance / exit that is opened and closed by a first door 7 and a second door 8, but may be any central opening entrance / exit that is opened and closed by multiple doors.

[0064] Next, an elevator door stop device according to a modified example of the first embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 5 is a detailed view of the main parts of the modified example of the first embodiment. (a) shows the blocked state. (b) shows the communicating state. Fig. 5 is a view corresponding to Fig. 4. In the description of the elevator door stop device according to the modified example of the first embodiment, the description of the same configuration as the elevator door stop device according to the first embodiment will be omitted as appropriate, and the reference numerals in the drawings will be omitted as appropriate.

[0065] The elevator door stop device in the modified example of the first embodiment is the same as the elevator door stop device in the first embodiment, except that it includes a first restricting member 26.

[0066] The first restricting member 26 is attached to the door-stopping surface 14b of the second door 8. The first restricting member 26 extends toward the first tip surface 19a. The first restricting member 26 is located between the door-stopping surface 14b of the first door 7 and the door-stopping surface 14b of the second door 8 in the width direction of the doorway 1. In the closed state, the first restricting member 26 is not located between the door-stopping surface 14b of the second door 8 and the first tip surface 19a in the width direction of the doorway 1. In the connected state, the first restricting member 26 is located between the door-stopping surface 14b of the second door 8 and the first tip surface 19a in the width direction of the doorway 1. In the connected state, the first restricting member 26 faces the door-stopping surface 14b and the first tip surface 19a of the second door 8 in the width direction of the doorway 1. In the connected state, the first restricting member 26 abuts against the door-stopping surface 14b and the first tip surface 19a of the second door 8. In the communicating state, the first restricting member 26 is sandwiched between the door abutment surface 14b and the first tip surface 19a of the second door 8. The first restricting member 26 is provided so as not to block the first gap 23.

[0067] The elevator doorstop device in a modified example of embodiment 1 is provided with a first restricting member 26, which is attached to the second door 8 and is positioned between the doorstop surface 14b of the first door 7 and the doorstop surface 14b of the second door 8 in the width direction of the entrance / exit 1, and in the connected state, the first restricting member 26 is positioned between the doorstop surface 14b of the second door 8 and the first tip surface 19a in the width direction of the entrance / exit 1, and is sandwiched between the doorstop surface 14b of the second door 8 and the first tip surface 19a.

[0068] This restricts the first door 7 and the second door 8 from moving closer to each other than in the closed position, so that the first gap 23 and the second gap 24 can be reliably opened in the communicating state.

[0069] In the elevator doorstop device in a modified example of embodiment 1, the first restricting member 26 is attached to the second door 8, and in the closed state, the first restricting member 26 is not positioned between the doorstop surface 14b of the first door 7 and the doorstop surface 14b of the second door 8 in the width direction of the entrance / exit 1.

[0070] This allows the first side end portion 19b and the second side end portion 20b to be reliably aligned in the closed state.

[0071] In the elevator door stop device according to the modified example of the first embodiment, the first restricting member 26 is attached to the first door stop member 19 and is located between the door stop surface 14b of the first door 7 and the door stop surface 14b of the second door 8 in the width direction of the doorway 1, and in the communicating state, the first restricting member 26 may be located between the door stop surface 14b of the second door 8 and the first tip surface 19a in the width direction of the doorway 1 and be sandwiched between the door stop surface 14b of the second door 8 and the first tip surface 19a. In this case, in the closed state, the first restricting member 26 is sandwiched between the door stop surface 14b of the second door 8 and the first tip surface 19a, and the first side end 19b and the second side end 20b are aligned.

[0072] In addition, the elevator doorstop device in the modified example of Embodiment 1 may include a second restricting member, which is attached to the first door 7 or the second doorstop member 20 and is located between the doorstop surface 14b of the first door 7 and the doorstop surface 14b of the second door 8 in the width direction of the doorway 1, and in the communicating state, the second restricting member may be located between the doorstop surface 14b of the first door 7 and the second tip surface 20a in the width direction of the doorway 1 and may be sandwiched between the doorstop surface 14b of the first door 7 and the second tip surface 20a. When the second restricting member is included, the first restricting member 26 does not have to be included.

The second doorstop member 70 extends across the height of the upper end of the opening of the doorway 51 and the height of the lower end of the first door 57. The outer shape of the cross section of the second doorstop member 70 perpendicular to the height direction of the doorway 51 is formed uniformly over the entire length in the height direction of the doorway 51.

[0108] The second door stop member 70 has a second tip surface 70a, a second side end surface 70b, and a plurality of second holes 70c. The second tip surface 70a is the end surface of the second door stop member 70 on the side of the first door 57. The second tip surface 70a faces the door stop surface 64b of the first door 57.

The second holes 70c are arranged at intervals in the height direction of the doorway 51. The second holes 70c correspond one-to-one to the elongated holes 61h of the doorstop frame 61.

[0109] The first doorstop member 69 and the second doorstop member 70 have the same cross-sectional outer shape perpendicular to the height direction of the doorway 51. The first doorstop member 69 and the second doorstop member 70 are arranged point-symmetrically with respect to a line extending in the height direction of the doorway 51.

[0110] When the first door 57 is in the closed position, the first doorstop member 69 and the second doorstop member 70 face the door slit surface 61c in the depth direction of the doorway 51. The first doorstop member 69 and the second doorstop member 70 are positioned outside the door slit surface 61c in the depth direction of the doorway 51.

[0111] When the first door 57 is in the closed position, a first gap 73 is formed between the first tip surface 69a and the door stop surface 61d of the door stop frame 61, a second gap 74 is formed between the second tip surface 70a and the door stop surface 64b of the first door 57, and the first side end surface 69b and the second side end surface 70b face each other in the depth direction of the doorway 51. The first tip surface 69a is located more inward in the depth direction of the doorway 51 than the second side end surface 70b.

The shaft portions of the multiple second male screw members 72a are screwed into the second female screw member 72b. The second female screw member 72b sandwiches the door stop surface 61d of the door stop frame 61 and the second door stop member 70 between itself and the heads of the multiple second male screw members 72a. The second door stop member 70 and the second screw member 72 close the multiple elongated holes 61h of the door stop frame 61.

[0116] The second doorstop member 70 is provided so as to be movable in the depth direction of the doorway 51. By moving the second doorstop member 70 in the depth direction of the doorway 51, the first doorstop member 69 and the second doorstop member 70 can switch their mutual states between a closed state and a communicating state when the first door 57 is in the closed position.

[0117] In the closed state, the first side end surface 69b and the second side end surface 70b are aligned. The closed state is a state in which the first gap 73 and the second gap 74 are not in communication with each other through the gap between the first side end surface 69b and the second side end surface 70b. The closed state is a state in which the space 53 inside the doorway 51 and the space 54 outside the doorway 51 are not in communication with each other through the gap between the first doorstop member 69 and the second doorstop member 70.

[0118] In the communicating state, the first side end face 69b and the second side end face 70b are separated from each other. In the communicating state, a third gap 75 is formed between the first side end face 69b and the second side end face 70b. The communicating state is a state in which the first gap 73, the second gap 74, and the third gap 75 are communicated with each other. The communicating state is a state in which the space 53 inside the doorway 51 and the space 54 outside the doorway 51 are communicated with each other via the first doorstop member 69 and the second doorstop member 70. In the communicating state, the straight rod-shaped body does not pass through the first gap 73, the second gap 74, or the third gap 75. In the connected state, a straight line passing through the end of the door stop surface 61d of the door stop frame 61 opposite the door stop surface 61c in the depth direction of the doorway 51 and the end of the door stop surface 61c of the door stop frame 61 on the center side in the width direction of the doorway 51 crosses the first door stop member 69. This straight line is shown by a two-dot chain line in Figure 9(b).

[0119] In the closed state and the communicating state, the first doorstop member 69 does not protrude further in the depth direction of the doorway 51 than the doorstop surface 64b of the first door 57.

[0120] As described above, the first doorstop member 69 and the second doorstop member 70 are switchable between a closed state and a communicating state.

[0121] In the elevator doorstop device of the second embodiment, the first door 57 moves in the width direction of the entrance 51 to open the entrance 51 at an open position away from the doorstop frame 61 that forms one side of the entrance 51 in the width direction, and closes the entrance 51 at a closed position approaching the doorstop frame 61, and the doorstop surface 64b of the first door 57 and the doorstop surface 61d of the doorstop frame 61 face each other in the width direction of the entrance 51. and a second door stop member 70 attached to the door stop surface 61d of the door stop frame 61, the first door stop member 69 having a first tip surface 69a facing the door stop surface 61db of the door stop frame 61 and a first side end surface 69b facing one direction in the depth direction of the doorway 51, the second door stop member 70 having a second tip surface 70a facing the door stop surface 64b of the first door 57 and a second side end surface 70b facing the other direction in the depth direction of the doorway 51, When the first door 57 is in the closed position, a first gap 73 is formed between the first tip surface 69a and the door stop surface 61d of the door stop frame 61, and a second gap 74 is formed between the second tip surface 70a and the door stop surface 64b of the first door 57. In addition, the first side end surface 69b and the second side end surface 70b face each other in the depth direction of the doorway 51, and the second door stop member 70 is provided so as to be movable in the depth direction of the doorway 51. Therefore, when the first door 57 is in the closed position, the first door stop member 69 and the second door stop member 70 The respective states of the gaps 73 and 74 can be switched between a closed state and a communicating state. In the closed state, the first side end face 69b and the second side end face 70b come together, so that the first gap 73 and the second gap 74 are not connected between the first side end face 69b and the second side end face 70b. In the communicating state, a third gap 75 is formed between the first side end face 69b and the second side end face 70b, so that the first gap 73, the second gap 74, and the third gap 75 are connected to each other.

[0122] As a result, by placing the first doorstop member 69 and the second doorstop member 70 in a closed state, when the first door 57 is in the closed position, noise is prevented from being transmitted from the inside of the entrance / exit 51 to the outside of the entrance / exit 51 through the gap between the first doorstop member 69 and the second doorstop member 70, and by placing the first doorstop member 69 and the second doorstop member 70 in a communicating state, when the first door 57 is in the closed position, the air inside the entrance / exit 51 and the air outside the entrance / exit 51 can be ventilated through the gap between the first doorstop member 69 and the second doorstop member 70.

[0123] Furthermore, the first door stop member 69 and the second door stop member 70 can be switched between the closed state and the communicating state without changing the position of the first door 57 in the width direction of the doorway 1 when in the closed position.

[0124] In the elevator doorstop device of embodiment 2, the thickness of the first doorstop member 69 in the depth direction of the entrance / exit 51 is thinner than the thickness of the doorstop surface 64b of the first door 57 in the depth direction of the entrance / exit 51, and in the closed state and the connected state, the first doorstop member 69 does not protrude in either direction in the depth direction of the entrance / exit 51 beyond the doorstop surface 64b of the first door 57.

[0125] This allows the first doorstop member 69 to be installed without affecting the installation position of equipment attached to the first door 57. For example, if a safety device that detects the presence of a user between the first door 57 and the doorstop frame 61 is installed further outward in the depth direction of the doorway 51 than the doorstop surface 64b of the first door 57, the first doorstop member 69 can be installed without affecting the installation position of the safety device. This safety device is, for example, a safety tissue, which is a mechanical sensor, or a multi-beam door sensor, which is a photoelectric door sensor.

[0126] In the elevator doorstop device of embodiment 2, the doorstop frame 61 has a doorstop surface 61c, which extends from the doorstop surface 61d of the doorstop frame 61 toward the center in the width direction of the entrance / exit 51 and faces the first doorstop member 69 in the depth direction of the entrance / exit 51 when the first door 57 is in the closed position, and in the connected state, a straight line passing through the end of the doorstop surface 61d of the doorstop frame 61 opposite the doorstop surface 61c in the depth direction of the entrance / exit 51 and the end of the doorstop surface 61c of the doorstop frame 61 toward the center in the width direction of the entrance / exit 51 crosses the first doorstop member 69.

[0127] As a result, in the connected state, the rod-shaped body cannot penetrate the first gap 73, the second gap 74, and the third gap 75, and does not protrude from the space inside the entrance / exit 51 to the space outside the entrance / exit 51, thereby preventing damage to equipment installed in the space of the elevator hoistway.

[0128] In addition, in the communication state, noise transmitted from the inside of the entrance / exit 51 to the outside of the entrance / exit 51 through the first gap 73, the second gap 74, and the third gap 75 can be reduced.

[0129] In addition, in the connected state, light can be prevented from shining directly from the inside of the entrance / exit 51 to the outside of the entrance / exit 51 through the first gap 73, the second gap 74 and the third gap 75.

[0130] In addition, the elevator door stop device in the second embodiment is provided with at least one of a first restricting member and a second restricting member, similar to the elevator door stop device in the modified example of the first embodiment, and the first restricting member is attached to the door stop frame 61 or the first door stop member 69, and is located between the door stop surface 61d of the door stop frame 61 and the door stop surface 64b of the first door 57 in the width direction of the entrance / exit 51, and in the communicating state, the first restricting member is located between the door stop surface 61d of the door stop frame 61 and the first tip surface 19a The second restricting member is attached to the first door 57 or the second doorstop member 70 and is located between the doorstop surface 64b of the first door 57 and the doorstop surface 61d of the doorstop frame 61 in the width direction of the doorway 51, and in the communicating state, the second restricting member may be located between the doorstop surface 64b of the first door 57 and the second tip surface 70a in the width direction of the doorway 51 and be sandwiched between the doorstop surface 64b of the first door 57 and the second tip surface 70a.

[0131] This restricts the first door 57 from moving in a direction closer to the door stop frame 61 than the closed position, so that the first gap 73 and the second gap 74 can be reliably opened in the communicating state.

[0132] In the elevator doorstop device in embodiment 2, at least one of the first doorstop member 69 and the second doorstop member 70 is provided so as to be movable in the depth direction of the doorway 51, so that the first doorstop member 69 and the second doorstop member 70 can switch their states between a blocked state and a communicating state when the first door 57 is in the closed position. When the first doorstop member 69 is provided so as to be movable in the depth direction of the doorway 51, the round hole 64f is made an elongated hole, and the elongated hole is oriented longitudinally in the depth direction of the doorway 51.

[0133] In the elevator doorstop device in the second embodiment, the first doorstop member 69 and the second doorstop member 70 may be inverted with respect to a plane perpendicular to the depth direction of the doorway 51.

[0134] In the elevator doorstop device of embodiment 2, the entrance / exit 51 is not limited to a two-door single-swing entrance / exit that is opened and closed by a first door 57 and a second door 58, but may be any single-swing entrance / exit that is opened and closed by one or more doors.
