<p>A braking mechanism (38) for an elevator car (16) includes a brake member (40, 66) operably connected to the elevator car (16). The brake member (40, 66) is at least partially insertable into a plurality of recesses (28) located at a guide rail (14) for the elevator car (16), to prevent movement of the elevator car (16) along the guide rail (14). An actuator (46) is operably connected to the brake member (40, 66), and is configured to move the brake member (40, 66) toward the guide rail (14) and at least partially into the plurality of recesses (28) for engagement therewith.</p> |
