Abstract:
A connector apparatus for interconnecting a guide rail of an elevator system with a structural component disposed within a hoistway within which the elevator travels, said connector apparatus comprising:(a) a first bracket having a first generally planar leg and a second leg extending generally perpendicularly to said first leg, said second leg having; (i) a plurality of first through holes disposed along a first line extending at an angle with respect to said first generally planar leg; (ii) a plurality of second through holes disposed along a second line extending at an angle with respect to said first generally planar leg; (b) interconnection means for interconnecting said first bracket with the structural component; (c) a second bracket connected to said first bracket, said second bracket having a first generally planar leg and a second generally planar leg extending generally perpendicular to said first generally planar leg of said second bracket and being slidably movable relative to said second leg of said first bracket between first and second positions, said second leg of said second bracket having: (i) a plurality of third through holes disposed along a third line extending at an angle with respect to said second line; (ii) a plurality of fourth through holes disposed along a fourth line extending at an angle with respect to said first line a selected first through hole being indexable with a selected fourth through hole and a selected second through hole being indexable with a selected third through hole when said second leg of said second bracket is moved from said first position to said second position; and (d) rail connector means for connecting the guide rail of the elevator system with said second bracket.
