An elevator door subsystem including a hanger mount, a leveling cam, an engaging member, and a roller assembly, configured such that when the roller assembly is positioned on one side of the elevator door hanger, the hanger mount is positioned within an opening of the elevator door hanger, and the leveling cam is positioned on another side of the elevator door hanger, the engaging member is receivable by the roller assembly after the engaging member is passed through an opening in the leveling cam, an opening in the hanger mount, and the opening in the door hanger.

An elevator car (42; 103) for carrying a load in a vertical direction. The elevator car includes at least one elevator car door (38) carrying a door coupling (20) and a camera mount (40) comprising a mounting location (46) for a camera (44). The camera mount (40) is located at the top of the elevator car (42) with the mounting location (46) positioned for a camera (44) to monitor the door coupling (20). The camera mount is deformable at least in the vertical direction, when acted on by a downwards force, such as to protect the door coupling (20) from being impacted by the camera mount (40).

Elevator systems are provided. The elevator systems include an elevator car movable along an elevator shaft having a pit floor and a shaft top, the elevator car having a car door lock arranged to enable opening of doors by a landing door lock mechanism when the elevator car is located at a landing and an elevator safety system. The elevator safety system includes a car door lock securing device arranged to prevent manual opening of the elevator car doors when in a first state and permits opening of the elevator car doors when in a second state and a car apron affixed to the car door sill and operable from a stowed state to a deployed state, wherein when the car apron transitions from the stowed state to the deployed state, the car door lock securing device is transitioned from the first state to the second state.

An elevator system (20) is provided including a hoistway (22) and an elevator car (24) movable within the hoistway (22) between a plurality of landings (26). The elevator car (24) includes at least one air scoop (70) configured to fluidly couple an interior of the elevator car (24) to the hoistway (22) such that a controlled fluid flow may pass there between. The hoistway (22) may or may not include a ventilation opening (50) configured to couple the hoistway (22) to an air source disposed outside of the hoistway (22).

Multiple digital cameras view a large scene, such as a part of a city. Some of the cameras view different parts of that scene, and video feeds from the cameras are processed at a computer to generate a photo-realistic synthetic 3D model of the scene. This enables the scene to be viewed from any viewing angle, including angles that the original, real cameras do not occupy—i.e. as though viewed from a ‘virtual camera’ that can be positioned in any arbitrary position. The 3D model combines both static elements that do not alter in real-time, and also dynamic elements that do alter in real-time or near real-time.

A storage system (500) for an elevator hoistway access ladder (300) includes a landing doorway (502) comprising a door column (504) and a landing door (506). The door column (504) includes a rotating support (501) for storing the hoistway access ladder (300), and the rotating support is rotatable relative to the door column (504).

An illustrative example embodiment of a device that facilitates installing at least one elevator door component, includes a detector that is configured to detect at least one reference feature in a vicinity of a desired position of the elevator door component. A processor is configured to use information from the detector to determine the desired position of the elevator door component relative to the at least one detected feature. An indicator is configured to provide at least one indication corresponding to the desired position of the elevator door component.

A doorsill assembly for an elevator includes a thin sliding member attached to the lower part of an elevator door for guiding opening and closing of the door along a guide groove on the doorsill, and a filling bar arranged in the guide groove so as to close an opening of the guide groove except for the sliding area of the sliding member.
