Installation with belt-like drive means and method for transmission of electrical energy or signals in such an installation

摘要

An installation, such as an elevator installation, has a belt-like drive apparatus driven by friction couple with a drive pulley. The drive apparatus has at least one electrically conductive element extending in a longitudinal direction of the drive apparatus. During operation of the installation, a contact apparatus contacts the at least one electrically conductive element of the moving drive apparatus for transmission of signals and/or electrical energy.
