Abstract:
An elevator apparatus including a non-seismic isolation building having at least one story, a seismic isolation building installed through seismic isolation means on said non-seismic isolation building, an elevator shaft structure being extended to a top and bottom direction in said non-seismic isolation building and said seismic isolation building and having a clearance for said non-seismic isolation building so as to be able to relatively transfer/displace a car that moves to said top and bottom direction along an elevator shaft formed by said elevator shaft structure, an elevator shaft side landing part formed on said elevator shaft structure, an expansion floor provided at said clearance between a landing part of said non-seismic isolation building and said elevator shaft landing part, said elevator apparatus characterized by comprisinga movable wall provided between partition members located on said non-seismic isolation building and said elevator shaft structure, being capable to relatively transfer/displace with said partition members when said non-seismic isolation building is swung in right and left directions, and being capable to relatively transfer/displace with said elevator shaft structure when said non-seismic isolation building is swung in front and back directions.
