They are recommended for use in freight elevator shafts with door openings at both ends of large cars. In fac- tories, storage buildings, warehouses and market buildings where cars are used requiring door open- ings at both ends, PEELLE electrically operated doors have proved their worth as time savers and aids to the economical loading and unloading of freight elevators. PEELLE electrically operated doors are also recom- mended for use in shafts equipped with push-button operated elevators, dispensing with the service of elevator operators. Operation and Details These doors are operated by specially designed motor, located in the elevator pent house. Two lines of steel cable passing through a specially designed casting attached to the trucking sill of each door, with stop-balls and heavy cushion springs placed as shown on detail, are fastened to drum winding mechanism located in the pent house. Each door is equipped with side bar latches which engage the trucking bar when door is in a closed position. These latches are operated by cams located on the elevator car. It will be noted that the cams on the elevator release side bar latches of only that door, on the floor at which elevator car is at rest; therefore only the doors located on the floor at which the ele- vator car is stationary can be opened. Operating Switch The operating switch located on any floor in the build- ing or each floor if desired, also within the elevator car, controls the door operating mechanism. Limit switches indicated on details, further control the ver- tical movements of the door and the operation of the motor, automatically cutting motor electrical circuit when doors have reached the maximum opening and closing position.

The upper half of this door is constructed in the usual manner, excepting that the upper edge does not meet the lintel. This space from lintel to door is filled by fastening a heavy steel plate to the door, which telescopes the lower half of the door on the floor above, when the doors are in open position. HIS drip plate is a heavy steel, spring operated water shed, which laps the space between door and sill, in an inclined position when the door is closed, assuring a water-tight elevator pit.

The PEELLE Master Mechanical Inter-lock is particularly recommended for use in connection with PEELLE doors installed in conjunction with hydraulic elevators. A cable equipped with stop-balls fastened under the trucking bar of each door runs the full length of the shaft, operating through specially designed fastenings on each PEELLE Door. This cable lifts and lowers the counterweight indicated on the detail which controls the shipper cable clutch. Opening and closing of the doors operates the mechanical clutch. No electrical current is required to operate the PEELLE Master Mechanical Inter-locking System. The Shipper Cable is also equipped with stop- balls so spaced that the elevator operating mech- anism cannot function, when doors are in an open position.

It is the last word in freight elevator door safety devices. The door is locked at two points, one at the center and the other at the side of the door. The contact at the side can only be made by the latch bar. This mechanically locks the door by engaging in the rein- forced slot, at the same time push- ing in the switch arm. The stronger latch at the center bears the brunt of the jar as the door is opened and closed. The switch arm operates by gravity, and springs, where used, are of special design. The mechanism entirely enclosed, is dirt and dust proof, and owing to its simplicity and the fewness of moving parts requires no maintenance. It is wired in the same manner as our Type B inter- locks. The action of closing the door automatically double-locks and electrically inter-locks it.

Accidents caused by persons or objects falling down the shaft are guarded against by the use of this device.

Nydas HR CaA acum ca len fate Ghu Freight Elevator HONS — — [PEELE PEELLE Safety Appliances Automatic Closing Machine HE function of this device is automatically to close PEELLE counterbalanced doors upon movement of the elevator car in either direction. It has no connection with the car when this is traveling up or down the shaft, becoming operative only when the door is opened. The door is then held firmly at the sill by a nosepiece, and can be dis- lodged only by movement of the car. The spring plunger, upon the release of the door, Cima GN Soccoccectax gives it an upward thrust and the door panels glide together. Thus no opportunity is afforded to leave the opening unguarded. This safety device is recommended for small doors only. The electric inter-locks will be found superior for the larger sizes. Fuse Link Attachment AUTOMATIC closing doors can be equipped with fuse link closing attachments at slight additional cost. These automatically close the doors upon the approach of fire. The mechanism is simple and positive in action. It is shown at the side (part G-1) and in plan above. Installation of this device is sometimes necessary to comply with State or local rules and regulations. Full information as to requirements in your locality will be furnished upon request.

A TONS PEFLLE si DOORS PEELLE Counterbalanced Dumbwaiter Doors Standardized Steel Construction (Patented) HESE doors not only represent a new de- parture in dumbwaiter door construction, but are neater in appearance, more easily and quickly operated and more durable than the one-piece vertical sliding counterweighted type or the swinging type heretofore used. One of the important advantages of this door is the minimum space required for installation. (See details for all dimensions.) They are manufactured with heavy steel plate panels, with and without vision panels. This type of door is also made with light kalamein or tin clad panels. We recommend the standard steel plate dumbwaiter doors specially for apart- ment buildings, factories, restaurants, and de- partment stores. Operation and Details These doors operate in the same manner as the : regular PEELLE counterbalanced doors, verti- View of Standard Steel Plate Dumbwaiter cally within the dumbwaiter shaft. One sec- Door tion of the door counterbalances the other, thus eliminating the use of counterweights and greatly reducing the number of working parts. Each half of door is made up of one inch struc- tural angle iron frame, to which the flat sheet steel panels are riveted. The vertical angles are reinforced, as will be noted on details, and set into iron guides, ready for installation. Radial ball bearing pulleys and heavy steel chains increase the ease of operation. Standard steel plate dumbwaiter doors are manufactured in stock sizes, sold F. O. B. fac- tory and shipped fully assembled. (Special sizes will be made up if desired.) Angle iron door frames, rails and sill are included with each set of doors. Necessary fastenings are attached to the frame for anchoring in brick, terra-cotta, concrete partitions or lath and plaster. Trim for dumbwaiter door openings if desired, should be specified under kalamein or marble.

PEELLE One-Piece Vertical Sliding Doors Slides Upward OR conditions which do not permit the installation of PEELLE Counterbalanced Doors, the PEELLE One-Piece Vertical Sliding Door is reeommended. Operation and Construction This door operates vertically in patented anti-friction shoes, on heavy structural angle iron rails as shown on details. Ease of operation is secured by use of double radial ball bearing sheaves, heavy duty steel chains and careful adjustment of counter-balancing weight. These weights operate in steel guides and are enclosed in heavy metal weight boxes. Panel may be of wood, wood-tin-covered, wood kal- amein covered or corrugated steel. For rigidity and strength the door is framed in heavy structural angle steel. For ordinary use, the wood or wood kalamein covered door is recommended. Manual and chain hoist operation is rec- ommended for doors of average weight and size. For extra large doors, the electric motor opera- tion is suggested. All clearances indicated on details apply to aver- age sized doors. For extra large openings, special details will be submitted indicating neces- sary jamb return space and clear- ance above the lintel. DUNEAN MILLS (Twister Bldg.) Greenville, S. C. J. E.

The chain of the upper panel is run over the small sprocket and left to idle on the opposite side. Lifting of the lower panel causes the large sprocket to revolve and the small sprocket which forms a part of the sheave also revolves, carrying with it the weight of the upper panel: The number of teeth in the gears are as two to one.
