division tells mo there IS even paten'
on certain number Of ropes that enter
the drawhead at the topof the car and
sustain the weight
One Of the interesting elevator patents
is Sasse's, by which the motion Of the
car, upward or downward, actuates a
ventilating fan over the beads Of the pas
sengcrs in the car. 1t is pity this de-
vice is not more generally applied, for
many elevator cabs are uncomfortably
hot. 1t might also be a good idea 20 at
tach an automatic device to the cOnduc-
tor. TO make sure that he keeps awake.
Another novel invention is that of a stair
way elevator, TO be applied to any flight
Of stairs, the car being drawn up the in
cline on n little railway. A number Of
patents cover devices intended tOughten
or release chains attached to weights, So
that as passengers step oil or on the car
may be always in a balance. One Of
these patents calls for no hosting ma
chinery, the plan being for the conductor
to pull the car up or down 10y grasping
the rope. Another requires a passenger
on entering the car to take thcrefrom "a
weight about equal to his own ayoirdu-
pois and hang it upon hook on the outer
wall provided for the purpose; on leaving
the car he must take weight from its
hook and place it in the cab to preserve
the couutcrpoise. IL is needless 10 say
that this invention has not come into
general use.
Hundreds of patents have been taken
out on safety devices alone. These are
automatic catches. electric brakes, air
cushions in which an elevator might fall
from a tenth story without hurting any
of its occupants. safety doors which pro
iect over the landing and make it impos
sible for the car 10 move either up or
down till the doors are closed, automatic
doors which push lasgard passengers out
and in, and wedges whichgripand tight
y hold tho car the instant the rope
breaks.
1t is worth while mentioning, too, that
the elevator is an American institution
If not originally invented here, it is here
that it has had about all Of its develop
ment. here it has been brought TO its
high state of perfection.
