[0020]
 Governor 7 detects the lifting speed of the car 1, when the car 1 reaches a predetermined overspeed exceeds the rated speed, but to emergency stop the car 1.
[0021]
 On-car handrail 8 is of a fixed type, which is installed along the outer periphery of the upper surface of the car 1, in which maintenance staff to ensure the safety when boarded on the car of the car 1 ride during maintenance work is there. On-car handrail 8 has a plurality of vertical frames 8a extending in the lifting direction of the car 1, 8b, 8c, 8d and, a transverse frame 8e provided across a plurality of vertical frames 8a ~ 8d.
[0022]
 The elevator system 100 according to the present invention, as a safety device, the limit switch 21 of the mechanical detecting that the car 1 exceeds the normal operating range of the terminal landings, provided the car 1, the limit and an operation member 24 to introduce the switch 21. 2 and 3, as the limit switch, describes the upper final limit switch 21. Upper final limit switch 21 is installed in the terminal landing near top of the hoistway 10, and cut off the power supply to the main circuit of a power converter for supplying power to the hoisting machine 4 in accordance with the turned the car 1 can be a state of operation (rising) are not allowed.
[0023]
 Upper final limit switch 21, as well as attached to one end of the limit switch bracket 22, the other end of the limit switch bracket 22 is fastened together with the car guide rail 2 is fixed to the wall of the hoistway 10 by the rail brackets 11 . Although not shown, similarly to the bottom terminal landing vicinity of the hoistway 10, a lower final limit switch to cut off the power supply to the main circuit of a power converter for supplying power to the hoisting machine 4 in accordance with the turned is is set up.
[0024]
 In Figure 2, as the operation member 24, the vertical frame 8a of the upper final limit switch on the car provided opposable located 21 handrail 8, is provided in the lower portion of the car 1, the lower final limit switch (not shown ) in composed of the car under operating cam 23 provided on the opposed positions. Vertical frame 8a, when in contact with the upper final limit switch 21, so that the top final limit switch 21 can slide, no irregularities along the elevation direction of the car 1 has a flat surface.
[0025]
 As described above, the elevator apparatus 100 according to the present invention, the operating member for actuating the final limit switch, (in the present embodiment, the on-car handrail) components of the car 1 is characterized in that it takes advantage of is there. With such a configuration, it is possible to provide the elevator apparatus having a safety device that suppresses an increase in the size and weight of the elevating direction of the car. The shape of the limit switch, in particular limitation is not, can be applied to conventional shape.
[0026]
 Next, a description will be given of the operation of the upper final limit switch 21.
[0027]
 The car 1 is some abnormality, when the normal stop position of the top floor is the normal operating range overshooting a predetermined distance (excessively rising), the vertical frame 8a of the car on the handrail 8 on the top final limit switch 21 contact with turned on, the switch signal to the control panel 5 from the upper final limit switch 21 is outputted. Control panel 5 which received this output is to cut off power supply to the main circuit of a power converter for supplying power to the hoisting machine 4, to stop the car 1.
[0028]
 Vertical frame 8a of the car on the handrail 8 in contact with the upper final limit switch 21 from the ON state, there is a time lag until the actual car 1 is stopped. Therefore, the car 1 vertical frame 8a ride from contact with the upper final limit switch 21 is further increased, during this time, the upper final limit switch 21 slides the surface of the vertical frame 8a, the upper final limit switch 21 so that the oN state is maintained.
[0029]
 On the other hand, the car 1 is some abnormality, the overshoot of the predetermined distance from the normal stop position of bottom floor (too lowered), the car under operating cam 23 is in contact with the lower final limit switch (not shown) turned on, the switch signal to the control panel 5 from the lower final limit switch is output. Control panel 5 which received this output is to cut off power supply to the main circuit of a power converter for supplying power to the hoisting machine 4, to stop the car 1.
[0030]
 As in Patent Document 1 described above, conventionally, the operating member in contact with the upper final limit switch, the operating member in contact with the lower final limit switch is manufactured in one piece, it was attached to the car. This operating member than the divided into two members, who were fabricated as a single member, because advantageous in terms of production and cost.
[0031]
 On the other hand, in the present embodiment, as described above, (a part of the members of the car on the handrail 8 for maintenance, i.e. vertical frame 8a) components car 1 to the operating member to inject upper final limit switch 21 by utilizing as, since it is not necessary to provide the operating member to inject upper final limit switch 21, as in Patent Document 1, the operating member in contact with the operating member and the lower final limit switch that contacts the upper final limit switch There can be achieved when compared to the reduction of the weight of the car to provide an operating member which is integral.
[0032]
 As described above, since the operation member continues to lift car 1 from contact with the final limit switch, but also the operation member during this time is required to continue to contact the final limit switch, the car on the hand vertical frame 8a of the rail 8, since a member having a pre-specified height for maintenance during safety, upper final limit over the maximum distance that the car 1 can be further increased overshoots the terminal landing switches 21 has sufficient size can be continued in the operating state. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide a longer operating member than the vertical frame 8a, it is possible to suppress the overhead dimensions of the car 1. That is, it is possible to suppress the increase in the elevation dimension of the car 1.
[0033]
 As a component of the car 1, the operating member to inject upper final limit switch 21, in the above embodiment, using a vertical frame 8a of the car on the handrail 8 is not limited thereto. Contacting the final limit switch 21, and, in the ascending direction of the car 1 may be any one having a slidable structure. Further, not limited to the operating member for operating the upper final limit switch 21, the car under operating cam 23 of Figure 2 may be obtained by utilizing components of the car 1.
[0034]
 As described above, according to the elevator system according to the present invention, it has been shown that can provide elevator apparatus provided with a safety device that suppresses an increase in the size and weight of the elevating direction of the car.
[0035]
 Elevator device according to the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and can be implemented modified in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention described in the appended claims.
[0036]
 For example, in the above embodiment, the limit switch is turned on by the vertical frame 8a of the car on the handrail 8, it is installed in the terminal landing near top of the hoistway 10, and supplies electric power to the hoisting machine 4 in accordance with the charged application has been only upper final limit switch 21 to cut off the power supply to the main circuit of the power converter, the present invention is not limited thereto, in a plurality of limit switches are installed in the vicinity of the terminal landing can do.
[0037]
 That is, the car 1 is in the elevator apparatus provided with a limit switch which operates when excesses a predetermined distance from the normal stop position of the terminal landing, a final limit switch which operates when excessive further predetermined distance of this predetermined distance, each of the limit switches and final limit switches can also be configured to be introduced by the vertical frame 8a of the car on the handrail 8.
[0038]
 The present invention is not limited to the elevator system of the machine room-less type. The present invention, because even construction the elevator system having a machine room is the same, can be applied to elevator apparatus with elevator system as well as machine room of the machine room-less type.
