Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to an elevator signal transmitting equipment characterized in that a shielding body of a magnetic shielding material envelops a transmitting line laid along a shaft through which a cage travels and a portion of a coupling device extending toward said transmitting line, the transmission and reception of signals being realized through the magnetic coupling between said transmitting line and said coupling device to control the operation of said cage, a path through which a part of said coupling device travels being left not enveloped.
