Abstract

An emergency stop apparatus for electric elevators which comprises a DC motor for driving a cage and being controllingly driven by variable DC power source connected to an AC power source, a power stoppage memorizing circuit which detects the power stoppage of the AC power source and memorizes the power stoppage, a motor stopping circuit for stopping the motor when the power stoppage memorizing circuit operates, and a memory erasing circuit for erasing the memory for the memorizing circuit after the cage stops. In the apparatus, a start command issued through the operation from a floor or the cage inside releases the motor stopping circuit to permit the cage to restart its travel.
