Abstract
There are many outdoor type observation elevators that have glass panel cage and no hoist-way wall for enjoyment of panorama at Hotels and High-rise buildings in overseas. We have studied and developed several countermeasures for the environment-the wind, rainwater and so on. These high-technology features are employed in an elevator installed in the Izumi Garden Tower at Roppongi-1chome that has 17person capacity and 360m/min rated speed.
