Who_invented_the_safety_elevators Elisha Otis he was inspired to design what was then called the "safety elevator".... Most elevators of the time were extremely dangerous. The key to Otis' invention was a toothed guiderail located on each side of the elevator shaft that caught the elevator car. If the cable failed, the teeth would engage, locking the car in place.
Elijah Otis invented elevator safety. Back then the elevators would brake down and fall to the ground, which caused the people to die. Otis invented a back up so if the elevator broke down you were safe.
The modern elevator was invented in 1852 by Elisha Otis, who developed a safety mechanism that prevented the elevator from falling if the cable broke. While elevators in some form existed before this, Otis's invention marked a significant advancement that made elevators safer and more practical for commercial and residential use. His first public demonstration of the safety elevator took place at the Crystal Palace in New York City in 1854.
Elevators were invented because people didn't like to walk up a lot of stairs.
The company named for the inventor, Elisha Otis, the Otis Elevator Company.

Yes, elevators were invented in the 19th century, with early versions emerging in the 1830s. These initial elevators were often steam-powered and primarily used for transporting goods in warehouses and factories. The development of the safety elevator by Elisha Otis in 1852 made them safer and more practical for use in buildings, paving the way for their widespread adoption in urban architecture. By the late 1800s, elevators became common in taller buildings, revolutionizing urban design.

"Elisha Otis invented a safety device that prevented elevators from falling if the hoisting cable broke. He worked on this device while living in Yonkers, New York in 1852, and had a finished product in 1854." (www.wikipedia.com)
