Patent ID: 8662264

Claim:
A safety brake device having a force store element, which by way of at least one brake lever and at least one brake shoe acting on a guide rail, generates a braking force which stops an elevator car and/or a counterweight, the force store element comprising: a first force store element having a first force storage rate; and at least a second force store element having a second force storage rate that is higher than the first force storage rate, the first and second force store elements being connected in series to form a force store element combination, wherein the first and second force store elements are separated by a washer at a pin guiding the first and second force store elements, and during compression movements of the first and second force store elements, a limitation device which limits travel and compression for the first force store element impinges on the washer, wherein an outer diameter of the pin is substantially the same as an inner diameter of at least one of the first and second force store elements, wherein the limitation device is located on the pin and includes a radial portion and an axial portion extending from the radial portion, and wherein an end of the first force store element is seated on the radial portion of the limitation device and an edge of the axial portion of the limitation device impinges on the washer during the compression movements.
