Their high quality is taken for granted, and justly so, but their smoothness, quietness and ease of operation will be a revelation, a pleasant surprise! Three Main Parts The hanger is composed of three main parts: (1) Steel Angle Wall Plate to which is attached the Stationary Track with its limit stops. (2) Ball Retainer with its %” diame- ter ball bearings. (3) A Running Track attached to the rider bar (which resembles a hous- ing) and to which is attached limit rollers and the pendants to which are fastened the door plates or aprons. Steel Angle and Stationary Track The steel angle wall plate is designed to be attached to the wall. The project- ing ledge of the steel angle above the top of the track serves to protect the hanger from falling dirt and also makes a very convenient place for attaching a cover, if a cover is required. The steel angle also makes a much stiffer con- struction than a flat plate. The stationary track, with a limit stop at each end, is firmly attached to the wall plate. The track proper is a heavy sec- For Single Sliding Doors [ Or for Combination Swing and Slide Doors When track is attached to swinging transom arm tion of hard cold rolled steel into which a perfectly smooth runway for the large ball bearings has been machined. One of the most important installa- tion features is that Rich-Wil Hangers require less headroom than any of the other hangers on the market. Ball Retainer The ball retainer is composed of two pieces of channel shaped steel fastened together and slotted every three inches, into each of these slots a large high duty 34” diameter ball bearing is placed. These balls roll on the top of the station- ary track, and the running track runs on the top of the balls. The ball retainer is located above the stationary track and below the running track. The quietness, smoothness and ease of operation of the Rich-Wil Hanger is due to a great extent not only to the per- fectly machined runways of the two hard rolled steel tracks but to the closeness of the spacing of the ball bearings, to their large size and to the heaviness of the materials used which tend to absorb or deaden sounds. Running Track The running track, also termed a rider bar, which runs over the top of the balls, is formed from a hard cold rolled steel bar, into which a very smooth runway is accurately machined. This track is at- tached to a steel angle (resembling a housing), one leg of which drops over the front of the hanger to enclose it. List Prices Limit Rollers One at either end, are adjustable. They prevent doors from jumping or raising. Hanger Pendants permit lateral and vertical adjustment of the doors. Apron Attachments are furnished for wood or kalamein doors. Plate Attachments for angle iron or grill doors; hollow metal doors are drilled and tapped to re- ceive the pendant bolts. Finish, dead black. Packed with screws for attaching.

Rich-Wil Hangers are the culmination of all of our years of elevator door hanger research and manufacturing knowledge. To say that we are proud of the result would be stating it mildly. Rich-Wil Hangers are so far ahead of anything we have had before or of other hangers on the market that there is absolutely no room for comparison. We realize that the above assertion covers con- siderable territory. However, we'll stand back of it and believe you will, too, when you are familiar with the merits of Rich-Wil Hangers.

It will please in every particular—we are sure of it! One of the most important installa- tion features 1s that Rich-Wil Hangers require less headroom than any of the other hangers on the market.

With consummate skill engineers and artisans planned, worked and experi- mented for years before their efforts were crowned with success. Neat, strong, silent, easy operating, scientifically correct in every detail, the Rich-Wil Hanger is worthy of your most profound respect. One of the most important installa- tion features 1s that Rich-Wil Hangers require less headroom than any of the other hangers on the market. Four Main Parts The hanger is composed of four main parts: (1) Ste.l Angle Wall Plate to which is attached the Stationary Track with its limit stops. (2) Ball Retainer with its 3%” diameter ball bearings. (3) A Running Track attached to the rider bar (which resembles a hous- ing) and to which is attached limit rollers and the pendants to which are fastened the door plates or aprons. (4) Bi-Parting Device. Steel Angle and Stationary Track The steel angle wall plate is designed to be attached to the wall. The project- ing ledge of the steel angle above the top of the track serves to protect the hanger from falling dirt and also makes a very convenient place for attaching a cover, if a cover is required. The steel angle also makes a much stiffer construction than a flat plate. For Doors in Pairs The stationary track, with a limit stop at each end, is firmly attached to the wall plate. The track proper is a heavy sec- tion of hard cold rolled steel into which a perfectly smooth runway for the large ball bearings has been machined. Ball Retainer The ball retainer is composed of two pieces of channel shaped steel fastened together and slotted every three inches, into each of these slots a large high duty %4" diameter ball bearing is placed. These balls roll on the top of the station- ary track, and the running track runs on the top of the balls. The ball retainer is located above the stationary track and below the running track. The quietness, smoothness and ease of operation of the Rich-Wil Hanger is due to a great extent not only to the perfect- ly machined runways of the two hard rolled steel tracks but to the closeness of the spacing of the ball bearings, to their large size and to the heaviness of the materials used which tend to absorb or deaden sounds. Running Track The running track, also termed a rider bar, which runs over the top of the balls, is formed from a hard cold rolled steel bar, into which a very smooth runway is accurately machined. This track is at- tached to a steel angle (resembling a housing) one leg of which drops over the front of the hanger to enclose it. Limit Rollers One at either end of the rider bar are adjustable. They prevent doors from jumping or raising. Hanrer Pendants permit lateral and vertical adjustment of the doors. List Prices Apron Attachments are furnished for wood or kalamein doors. Plate Attachments for angle iron or grill doors; hollow metal doors are drilled and tapped to re- ceive the pendant bolts. Bi-Parting Device The No. 830 Bi-Parting type of hanger is equipped with a block chain. Experi- ments have proved that this method was in every way to be preferred. It operates much more quietly than a geared device. It is very easily adjusted. Each of the sheaves is mounted on a plate which can be adjusted to give the chain the proper tension, and to properly center the doors. The chain being flexible will not for any reason cause binding of the op- erating mechanism. Finish, dead black. Packed with screws for attaching. Hanger is illustrated on preceding page.

Incomparable Hangers We have manufactured excellent ele- vator door hangers for many years, but jit remained for the perfecting of the Rich-Wil Line of Hangers to thoroughly satisfy us in every particular. We believe these Rich-Wil Hangers to be as nearly perfect as it is possible for human ingenuity to produce. They operate quietly, smoothly, eas- ily. When it becomes possible to improve upon them, or to build better ones, we will strive mightily to do so. Meanwhile confidence in this equipment will not be misplaced. One of the most important installa- tion features is that Rich-Wil Hangers require less headroom than any of the other hangers on the market. Door Operation No. 832 Rich-Wil Hangers are used in openings having one sliding door and one hinged door. The sliding door is the active door in constant use, but the hangers are made to permit both doors to swing into the corridor to secure full width of elevator opening when re- quired. The top of the sliding door is pivoted to the hanger bar and the bottom of the door is guided by a shoe attached to the hinged door. It is usually more satisfactory to ar- range to swing the transom bar if pos- sible and to use No. 827 hanger. Three Main Parts The hanger is composed of three main parts: (1) Steel Angle Wall Plate to which is attached the Stationary Track with its limit stops. (2) Ball Retainer with its %” diameter ball bearings.

Of commanding interest is the fact that Rich-Wil Hangers operate with a quietness, smoothness and ease never before reached by other hangers. We realize that this is a broad state- ment, but an examination of the hangers will fully substantiate the assertion. One of the most important installation features 1s that Rich-Wil Hangers re- quire less headroom than any of the other hangers on the market. Door Operation No. 833 Rich-Wil Hangers are used in openings having 2-speed sliding doors and one hinged door. The sliding doors are the active doors in constant use, but the hangers are made to permit all of the doors to swing into the corridor to secure full width of elevator opening when required. Hinged Stationary Door The top of each door is pivoted to the hanger bar and ordinary flush bolts with round pins, which are lowered into holes in the iron saddle, serve as bottom piv- ots. Care must be taken to locate the center of the flush bolts exactly below and in line with the pivots in the top fix- ture. When the doors slide, the bolts act in the grooves in the saddle as guides. It is usually preferable to arrange to use No. 828 Hangers attached to a swinging transom bar. Three Main Parts The hanger is composed of three main parts: (1) Steel Angle Wall Plate to which is attached the Stationary Track with its limit stops. (2) Ball Retainer with its 4” diameter ball bearings. (3) A Running Track attached to the rider bar (which resembles a hous- ing) and to which is attached limit rollers and the pendants to which are fastened the door plates or aprons. Steel Angle and Stationary Track The steel angle wall plate is designed to be attached to the wall. The project- ing ledge of the steel angle above the top of the track serves to protect the hanger from falling dirt and also makes a very convenient place for attaching a cover, if a cover is required. The steel angle also makes a much stiffer construc- tion than a flat plate. The stationary track, with a limit stop at each end, is firmly attached to the wall plate. The track proper is a heavy section of hard cold rolled steel into which a perfectly smooth runway for the large ball bearings has been machined. Ball Retainer The ball retainer is composed of two pieces of channel shaped steel fastened together and slotted every three inches, into each of these slots a large high duty, 3,” diameter, ball bearing is placed. These balls roll on the top of the station- ary track, and the running track runs on the top of the balls. The ball retainer is located above the stationary track and below the running track. The quietness, smoothness and ease of operation of the Rich-Wil Hanger is due to a great extent not only to the per- fectly machined runways of the two hard rolled steel tracks, but to the close- ness of the spacing of the ball bearings, to their large size and to the heaviness of the materials used which tend to ab- sorb or deaden sounds. Running Track The running track, also termed a rider bar, which runs over the top of the balls, is formed from a hard cold rolled steel bar, into which a very smooth runway is accurately machined. This track is at- tached to a steel angle (resembling a housing), one leg of which drops over the front of the hanger to enclose it. 2-Speed Equipment In the 2-speed equipment, the slow door running track (or rider bar) is con- nected to the ball retainer of the fast door. The ball retainer always moves just half as fast as the door, consequent- ly the slow door will move just half as fast as the fast door. No gears are used.

Operator releases its grip at the instant the door is fully closed and latched. At each opening a sange plate is mounted on the hanger to prevent the door opening motor from operating unless the car is at floor level or within four inches above or four inches below the floor level. On the car is mounted a switch lock which is in the path of the range plates. The switch lock is connected to the door opener control switch by arod which prevents making a contact in the control switch unless the switch lock is opposite the range plate. This gives a range of 8 inches (4 inches below and 4 inches above the floor level) in which the doors may be opened. Shorter ranges may be furnished if required. This also prevents the doors from being opened between the floors. However, in case the car is stalled between floors, doors may be opened by the car attendant by hand. The electric door operator is attached to the top of the car, opposite the door hanger. It is equipped with a forward and rear limit switch, also one gravity interlock. This interlock will prevent the car from being moved if doors are OPENED one-quarter of an inch, and they must be CLOSED to within one-eighth of an inch of the jamb before the ear can be moved. This insures the locking of each and every door. An emergency switch is provided in the car to permit operation of the doors for emergency use regardless of the Interlock. Oil checks on each end of the operating machine bring the doors to a gradual stop at each end of their movement, preventing slamming, noise and unnecessary shocks on the doors, hangers and other apparatus. Weight of equipment per car will not exceed 100 lbs. List Prices Prices given upon application. Prices include installation.

Discount Take Advantage of the Services of Our Engineering Department No. 747 Floor Range Device f h bt i] This device is designed to be connected to, and to operate with our No. 743 Door Closers. It prevents the opening of the shaft enclosure doors except when the car is within a prede- termined range or distance from the floor landing. This range may be 3 inches above or below, 4 inches above or below, or any other specified distance. When the car is within its range, and the door is started open, the lever carrying the roller comes in contact with the cam attached to the car, and the device is released so that the door can be opened, see small inset illustration at the right. If the car is either above or below the range, the lever with the roller on the end does not make a contact with the cam attached to the car and the device is then positively locked so the door closer cannot be moved and the door cannot be opened, see small inset to the left. The main part of the device is attached to the sill and is con- nected to the door closer by a rod which is vertically adjust- able. It can be attached to any of our regular No. 743 Door Closers.

Closer Plate No. 1 extends entirely across the door and is used when it is necessary to attach the pivot of the closer somewhere near the center of the door. Closer Plate No. 2 is used on wood, kalamein or hollow metal doors when it is not necessary to locate the pivot far from the edge of the door. Closer Plate No. 3 is used for the fast door connection of 2- speed closers on wood, kalamein or hollow metal doors. Closer Plate No. 4 is used with angle iron or grill doors when the closer pivot can be located close to one side of the door. Closer Plate No. 5 is the fast door connection for use on grill or angle iron doors for 2-speed closers. Note:—No additional charge is made for any of the above plates.

Other Accessories Are Shown on Pages 86 and 87 72 ————~} Richards Wilcox SF No. 743-IL Electric Interlocks Patented Approved by the Underwriters’ Laboratories and the Bureau of Standards M ANY large cities and some states ; have passed ordinances requir- ing the use of interlocks on passenger elevators which prevent the starting of elevator cars until the doors are closed and locked. The casualty insurance companies have granted a 10% reduction in the premium on liability risks covering ele- vator door openings when such open- ings are equipped with approved in- terlocks, as illustrated. Special consideration should be given the 743-IL Interlock because of its simplicity, which is due to a great extent to its Master Switch. The Master Switch is located in the pit at the bottom of the elevator shaft and is the only switch needed to oper- ate the interlocking mechanism of an elevator throughout its travel of many floors. Some interlocks require an individ- ual switch at each floor. When for one reason or another the power is cut off it is then necessary to inspect all of these individual switches until the trouble is located before the elevator operator can move the car. This isa real task and requires considerable time. Therefore one switch is more desirable than many. The No. 743-IL Rich-Wil Electric Interlock Equipment (as can be seen from the halftone and line drawings.on this and the following pages) consists of a Master Switch located in the pit of the elevator shaft, where it is read- ily accessible; of a pulley located in the pent house at the top of the eleva- tor shaft; of a wire, with weights at each end, which runs over the pulley at the top of the shaft, through a con- nection to the door closers at each floor and continues down the shaft and is at- tached to the operating mechanism of the Master Switch; and of door closers at each floor, with a device attached to them which opens the Master Switch and breaks the car controller circuit when the doors are open, and in that way automatically prevents operation of the car until the doors are closed. This Interlock, or Safety Device, requires no attention from the operator and provides a device that is positive, of great simplicity and not liable to get out of order. The Master Switch Illustration shows Master Switch with part of dust cover broken away so that upper portion of mechanism may be seen No. 743-IL (91 CHT-YYf ML. RICHARDS —-W/LCOx Emergency Switch To use the Emergency Switch break the glass with the mallet and press button Its Operation When any door in the shaft is opened, the closer on that door raises the wire which extends the full height of the shaft and connects with the Master Switch, opening the circuit to the car control and preventing opera- tion of the car. When doors are closed, the door closers allow the wire controlling the switch to be pulled down by the bottom weight, closing the circuit through the Master Switch and allowing the car to be operated. No. 743-IL Rich-Wil Electric Interlock Assures Superior Service Because: lst—Uses a single Master Switch for each elevator. (Eliminates using a switch at each door.) 2nd—Its construction is unusually substantial, durable and efficient. 3rd—Operates by gravity (no springs or small parts to give trouble). 4th—The Master Switch is located where readily accessible. 5th—Inspection may be made in an instant. (Avoids onerous task examin- ing switches at each door.) 6th—Vastly excels in simplicity, construction, positiveness, ease of at- tention and thereby provides unusual dependability. An emergency switch, by means of which the car can be operated in emer- gencies regardless of whether the doors are open or closed is furnished for each car as regular equipment. Non-reversing devices to prevent opening the doors after they have been nearly closed, until they have first been fully closed, can be furnished when re- quired. (See Pages 69 and 86.) Floor range devices, to prevent opening the doors except when the car is within a range of three or four inches above or below the landing, furnished when required. (See Page 71.) Sequence relays, to prevent starting the car unless the car controller is started from neutral position after the doors are closed, can also be furnished if required.

Many cities and states already specify Me- chanical Interlocks and the R-W No. 744 has been developed to meet these requirements and at the same time provide a device that is very simple, of few parts and that operates noise- lessly. In addition, it requires absolutely no at- tention from the operator. The No. 744 Mechanical Interlock is designed for use on Elevators with Electric Controllers where the doors are operated by R-W No. 743 Elevator Door Closers. The combination of. R-W No. 744 Mechanical Interlock and R-W No. 743 Elevator Door Closer offers a double protection against accidents; the former preventing the operation of the car except when the doors are closed, and the latter preventing the opening of the doors, except from the car. The Mechanical Interlock requires no attention from operator with feet or hands. The Door Closer positively and quietly closes the doors. (The No. 744 Mechanical Interlock can be furnished with simple horizontal locking bars, in- stead of the Door Closer, if so desired. See page 84.)

The upper end of the bar lock has a hook which engages with the movable part of the switch, so that when the bar is released the contact block in the switch is positively pulled downward, breaking the electric circuit through the car controller. The switches are reversible for right or left hand doors. Bar Locks of Types A, B or C brackets can be furnished (see next page). The bar locks are furnished in two finishes: dead black; dead black with solid brass handle and door brackets. Switch is always furnished in dead black finish. One switch required at each doorway.

The No. 740 Horizontal Locking Bars have been designed to meet this demand. The operation is the same as a door closer except that the spring closing power and the oil checking de- vices are omitted. It is necessary to close the doors manually. When the doors are closed and the locking bars are in a hori- zontal position the doors are securely locked. The No. 740 Type A Horizontal Locking Bars are designed so that the bar can be readily disconnected from the sliding door without the use of tools. It is only necessary to turn the spring knob and withdraw the bar from its connection to the sliding door. The locking bars require no keeper and the only attachment to the jamb or wall is at the wall pivot end of the locking bars. All locking bars are fitted with non-reversible device which pre- vents the doors from being re-opened after they have been closed within 3 inches of the jamb, without first completing the Position of Locking Bar when doors are open closing movement. This device prevents accidental opening of the door in case the car should leave the landing when the door was not quite closed. Made of steel, dead black finish with solid brass handle. The handle of the No. 740 Type A Hori- zontal Locking Bar, when the doors are closed, stands at an angle making it easy to grasp in operating and allowing a direct pull against the doors. The Type B Horizontal Locking Bar is exactly the same in every respect as the No. 740 Type A except that the bar to which the handle is attached extends in a horizontal plane when the doors are closed and the bars are not equipped with the means for readily detaching from the door. The No. 740 Type B is recommended more especially for single sliding doors without swing-out devices. It is equipped with a non-reversing device to prevent opening the door after it has been closed within 3 inches of the jamb without first completing the closing move- ment.

It is understood of course that when the doors are fully closed that they are latched and locked by other means so that they cannot be opened accidentally from the corridor side.

Bach |. okies ses shoe a ee 2 ee 24 Now Turn to Page 90 88 89 In populous New York; bustling Chicago; progressive San Francisco; in scores of cities in between, leading ar- chitects have learned from experience that Richards- Wilcox elevator door equipment gives super-excellent service in every type of building. In office and loft build- ings it is selected because of its ability to stand up under long, hard usage. In hotels, clubs and apartment houses it is preferred for its noiselessness and dignified appear- ance. Its perfect operation not only contributes to the comfort and safety of guests and tenants, but Richards-Wilcox equipment is economical, it requiring only the periodical lubrication necessary for any moving part. Good elevator service cannot be maintained with in- ferior door hangers and closers. The advantages of high- speed elevators may be lost if time must be wasted at each stop struggling with the doors. Elevator doors equipped with R-W elevator door hardware close easily, swiftly, noiselessly and completely with one motion. R-W hangers, closers, checking devices, safety inter- locks and operators are separate mechanisms, yet so con- structed that they synchronise perfectly, forming a Com- plete Unit Control. Hangers evenly distribute the weight of the doors. Doors so equipped operate smoothly and noiselessly. Closers are designed to allow easy and rapid operation. Quietness is assured by an adjustable liquid check. Interlocks: electric; electro-mechanical; or mechan- ical, may be added to the above closers at any time with- out changing the closer mechanism. For complete safety, silent, sure performance—specify and install Richards-Wilcox Elevator Door Equipment. Richards- Wilcox Manufacturing Company Aurora, lll, Ua oA.
