Elevator Rail Anchoring with Variable Load Spacing

The patent applies local quality by varying the spacing of anchoring devices according to the local load conditions at different positions along the rail. The gap length between adjacent anchoring devices is adjusted to match the actual load requirements: smaller gaps where loads are higher and larger gaps where loads are lower. This ensures that each section of the rail receives appropriate support without over-engineering any particular location, thereby optimizing material utilization while maintaining the required load bearing capacity.

The patent implements parameter changes by modifying the spacing parameter of anchoring devices based on the local load conditions. Instead of using a constant gap length throughout the rail system, the gap length is varied as a parameter that changes with position along the rail. This allows the system to use fewer anchoring devices (reducing material requirements by up to 25%) while still meeting the structural requirements at each location.

The patent applies local quality by adjusting the gap length between anchoring devices to match the actual stability requirements at each location along the rail. Rather than uniformly placing anchoring devices at small intervals throughout the entire rail system, the invention varies the spacing so that closer spacing is used only where the local load conditions require enhanced stability, while larger spacing is used where the rail is already adequately supported. This optimizes the balance between rail stability and material usage.
