An elevator car includes a floor base, which is stiff in bending, with a metallic base structure in which a support element of plastics material is arranged. The support element is formed as an integral mold body and is produced by means of an injection-molding method.

An exemplary elevator system includes an elevator car. At least one guiderail is situated for guiding movement of the elevator car. A machine mount is supported by the guiderail near a top of the guiderail. A car stop is supported on the elevator car. The car stop is selectively moveable between a first position and a second position. In the first position the car stop allows the elevator car to travel to a maximum vertical position. In the second position the car stop is situated to contact the machine mount to prevent the elevator car from reaching the maximum vertical position.

An elevator system includes a hoistway and an elevator car suspended in the hoistway via a suspension member and drivable along the hoistway. The elevator car includes an elevator car panel and a battery pocket positioned in the elevator car panel. A battery is removably positioned in the battery pocket. The battery and the battery pocket are configured such that inspection, maintenance and/or repair of the battery is performed without entry into the hoistway of the elevator system. A method of servicing an elevator system includes driving an elevator car along a hoistway and stopping the elevator car near a selected elevator landing floor. A battery is at least partially removed from a battery pocket at the elevator car via a technician located at the selected elevator landing floor for inspection, maintenance, replacement and/or repair.

A system for protecting an elevator including a plurality of wall panels. The system includes a first plurality of hangers each having a suspension portion and a hanger portion. A protective sheet having a plurality of holes along an edge thereof is fastened to the suspension portions by a plurality of snap fasteners inserted through both the aperture of a hanger and a hole of the plurality of holes. The hanger portion engages an upper edge portion of a wall panel of the plurality of wall panels. In some uses, the protective sheet is positioned between the suspension portion and the wall panel of the plurality of wall panels. The hanger portion may be embodied as a hook and the snap fasteners may be embodied as plastic rivets.

An elevator ventilation fan assembly for hazardous operating environments and comprising a fan disposed within an enclosure to be carried on an elevator cab roof. The fan may be suspended by a fan support framework from at least three non-co-linear suspension locations of the enclosure lid. The assembly may include a vibration isolation element disposed between the fan motor and the enclosure lid, a cover panel supported by a cover support framework on the enclosure lid, a fan guard screen carried by the enclosure lid, a fan motor junction box carried within the enclosure by the lid and accessible via a removable side panel of the enclosure, and/or a fan duct surrounding the fan.

An elevator passenger car allows enhancement of rigidity of a lower beam with a simple configuration while suppressing an increase in the number of components, and includes an upper beam disposed at an upper side, a pair of vertical frames having upper ends connected to both ends of the upper beam, a lower beam disposed between lower ends of the pair of vertical frames while having both ends connected, and a pair of underfloor side surface beams which are mounted and connected onto both ends of the lower beam while extending orthogonal thereto. The elevator passenger car has a car room disposed at a part defined by the upper beam, the pair of vertical frames, and the lower beam that is mounted on the pair of underfloor side surface beams. An underfloor side surface beam reinforcing member is provided for each of the pair of underfloor side surface beams.

An elevator car comprising a passenger cab and a robot cab, the robot cab is configured to accommodate at least one autonomous robot; wherein the robot cab includes: a robot cab controller configured to receive elevator call requests from the at least one autonomous robot and a coupling mechanism configured to couple the robot cab to the passenger cab.

An elevator car has a roof hatch arranged on a car roof and a ventilation device mounted on the roof hatch, wherein the car roof has a car top surface defining a walkable region. The roof hatch has a cover plate on which a fan of the ventilation device is mounted, wherein the cover plate, at least when the roof hatch is in a normal position, is an integral part of the walkable region. The roof hatch is stored on an exit opening in the car roof whereas the roof hatch can be removed and put aside to the car top surface. The cover plate has a central aperture through which the air blown by the fan can flow. The aperture is secured and covered by a grill mounted on the cover plate, whereas the grill is dimensioned to provide the grill with a walk-on capability.

An elevator includes an elevator car movable in a shaft and a counterweight. The counterweight is connected by suspension apparatus guided over deflecting rollers of a deflecting unit. The counterweight deflecting unit includes a cover arrangement, for covering the deflecting rollers, that is a plastic folding part formed from an erectable blank. The blank has a cover and side walls surrounded by folding lines or edges, wherein the cover and the side walls, in a starting position, lie on a common plane and wherein the cover and the side walls, in an end position, form a cover portion, a front side wall, a rear side wall and transverse side walls, the side walls adjoining the cover portion at right angles.

The present disclosure relates to an elevator having a function of removing dust adhered to an object aboard, including: a car which provides a boarding space, and in which a pair of air holes disposed in a diagonal direction each other at a same height of an inner space are formed; and a pair of fan modules that generates whirlwind rotating in the inner space of the car by ejecting air traveling from one of the pair of air hoes in a direction away from a center of the inner space of the car and ejecting air traveling from the other of the pair of air hoes in a direction away from the center of the inner space of the car, in which dust adhered to the object aboard inside the car is separated from the object aboard by the whirlwind generated inside the car.
