The elevator safety device

The present invention provides a safety device for an elevator. In the safety device of the elevator, the car with respect to the displacement in the horizontal direction of the housing is provided with a receiving brake member and the rotatable brake member. Car guide rails disposed in the guide rail and the receiving member between the rotatable brake member abuts. By rotating the brake member rotates downward direction, and the receiving brake member and the rotatable brake spacing between the contacting members is reduced. By shifting the drive mechanism housing against the rotational direction of the rail track contact member contacting with the direction of displacement and separation. By rotation of the rotatable brake member toward a direction corresponding to the moving direction of the car while contacting the guide rail to rail gripping contact between the ground and the receiving brake member in the rotational orbit member.
