A foldable elevator cabin and a foldable elevator shaft are disclosed. The foldable elevator cabin has a plurality of members attached at a centralized point for centralized folding using arms attached between each member. A ceiling and a base are attached to the top and bottom of the various members. Secondly, a foldable elevator structure having a plurality of members is shown having each member sequentially attached between a preceding member and a succeeding member until all members have been attached. In this fashion, the foldable structure is foldable between each set of two adjacent members.

A door lintel assembly for an elevator, and an elevator system. The door lintel assembly includes: a door lintel panel having an opening thereon; a display device, which is installed on the door lintel panel via the opening, and which has a display screen on a first side of the door lintel panel, and electronic components on a second side of the door lintel panel; and a rotation device, which includes a first bracket installed on both sides of the door lintel panel, a second bracket fixedly installed, and a rotation mechanism connecting the first bracket and the second bracket, wherein the rotation mechanism drives the first bracket and the door lintel panel to rotate relative to the second bracket.

A system and a method for operating one or more dynamic stoppers in an elevator car. A method includes receiving a command at one or more control panels to switch one or more dynamic stoppers from a first position to a second position. The one or more dynamic stoppers are installed on a platform of an elevator car. The elevator car includes one or more doors and the one or more control panels is installed in the elevator car. The method includes switching the one or more dynamic stoppers from the first position to the second position using one or more actuators coupled to the one or more dynamic stoppers, respectively.

A wireless power transfer arrangement for an elevator car of an elevator is presented. The wireless power transfer arrangement comprises primary winding units distantly arranged with respect to each other at first positions of an elevator shaft along which the elevator car is configured to be moved, at least one secondary winding unit arranged to the elevator car. Each one of the primary winding units and the at least one secondary winding unit are arranged so that there is a gap between said winding units for enabling movement of the secondary winding unit with respect to the primary winding units and for establishing an inductive coupling between said winding units whenever said winding units are arranged to face each other at one of the first positions.

Elevator car door systems are provided. The systems include an elevator car having a car door and a movable car door coupling attached to the car and arranged to control operation of the car door. A mounting bracket is attached to the car, a first blade is attached to the mounting bracket, a second blade is attached to the mounting bracket, and a deterrent is attached to the mounting bracket. The first and second blades are operable a landing door coupling to operate the car door. A portion of the movable car door coupling is arranged to contact a ceiling of an elevator shaft during an overrun event when and move a part of the movable car door coupling relative to the car, and when the portion is not in contact with the ceiling, a biasing element urges the portion toward a normal position.

Elevator car (6) comprising an interior space (10) for accommodating passengers and/or cargo, a structural ceiling (20) arranged at the top of the elevator car (6) and comprising at least one rescue opening (21), and a decorative ceiling (22) arranged below the structural ceiling (20) within the interior space (10). The decorative ceiling (22) is movable between a closed position in which it extends basically parallel to the structural ceiling (20) and at least one open position in which it extends into the interior space (10). The elevator car (6) further comprises a control element (30) which is selectively attachable to the structural ceiling (20) and to the decorative ceiling (22), respectively. The control element (30), when attached to the decorative ceiling (22), allows moving the decorative ceiling (22) between its closed position and an open position in a controlled manner.

An illustrative example embodiment of an elevator system includes an elevator car, a first transceiver supported on the elevator car, and a second transceiver in a preselected location where the first transceiver can wirelessly communicate with the second transceiver when the elevator car is situated in a corresponding location. The first transceiver wirelessly communicates with the second transceiver to transfer at least electrical power between the transceivers. An elevator car power storage device is supported on the elevator car. The elevator car power storage device is configured to store electrical power received by the first transceiver from the second transceiver. The elevator car power storage device is also configured to provide power to the first transceiver to be transferred to the second transceiver.

Elevator interior lighting provided by a temporary LED light fixture and power supply installed on or adjacent an elevator canopy. The temporary LED power supply comprises an LED driver and an emergency LED power supply. The LED driver connects to LEDs of the temporary LED light fixture and supplies sufficient power to provide code-compliant temporary lighting in the cab. The emergency LED power supply module connects to one or more emergency LEDs and supplies sufficient power to provide code-compliant emergency lighting in the cab upon loss of primary electrical power. To minimize costs when converting to permanent lighting, additional LED light fixtures can be added and connected to the same temporary LED power supply, and the emergency LED power module may be relocated into a down light power supply to power two or more down lights in the event of a loss of primary electrical power.

A panel assembly for an elevator cab includes an outer panel that defines an exterior surface of the elevator cab. A first inner panel is spaced from the outer panel and at least partially defines a first cavity with the outer panel. A foam panel is located adjacent one of the outer panel and the first inner panel. A first passage opening is associated with the first panel and is in fluid communication with a ventilation passage at least partially defined by one of the inner panel or the outer panel.
