Devices and methods for blocking a gap between an elevator cab and a landing platform to prevent objects falling into the elevator shaft when the cab is adjacent the landing platform and any doors therebetween are open. A plurality of bristles is attached to the cab substantially adjacent the floor or sides of the cab and extending substantially perpendicular to the exterior of the cab to impede passage of objects through the gap. The device comprises a plurality of bristles attached to a frame and optionally secured to the frame by a bristle assembly. The device includes means for fastening to the elevator cab so that the bristles are adjacent and substantially planar to the floor or sides of the cab. The devices and methods thus provide easier retrieval of items dropped over the gap and provide a visual cue to deter disposal of detritus or debris through the gap. |
