Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
99 words
An elevator and building combination comprising a building core; helical track means about the periphery of said building core; radial storage means in said building core internal to said track means; annular elevator platform means mounted on and supported by said helical track; longitudinally extending loadtransfer means on said platform means engageable with a load and adapted to transfer said load from said platform to said radial storage means and from said radial storage means to said platform; drive means for propelling said elevator along said helical track; and independent drive means energizing and operating said load transfer means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
99 words
An elevator and building combination comprising a building core; helical track means about the periphery of said building core; radial storage means in said building core internal to said track means; annular elevator platform means mounted on and supported by said helical track; longitudinally extending loadtransfer means on said platform means engageable with a load and adapted to transfer said load from said platform to said radial storage means and from said radial storage means to said platform; drive means for propelling said elevator along said helical track; and independent drive means energizing and operating said load transfer means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
