ELEVATOR DOOR WITH SENSOR FOR DETERMINING WHETHER TO RE-OPEN DOOR

摘要

A system for an elevator door of an elevator car, wherein a controller controls the elevator door to travel in a proximate direction when closing and travel in a distal direction when opening, the system including: a panel that forms an exterior surface of an elevator door, the panel including a front surface (240) extending in a widthwise direction between a proximate end and an opposing distal end to form a front surface of the elevator door, the panel including a proximate end surface (280) extending in a depthwise direction to form a proximate end surface of the elevator door, the proximate end surface (280) of the panel comprising a resilient portion (300) that is capable of engaging a sensor (340) in the panel when the elevator door is closing, and thereafter the controller instructs the elevator door to re-open.
