A modular cabin assembly 100 for an elevator 200 is provided. The assembly includes a housing 102 which includes a roof assembly 104, and a floor assembly 118. The roof assembly includes a plurality of first connectors 106 connected with a plurality of perforated brackets 108 and coupled with a plurality of vertical posts 110 and is coupled with each other by means of a plurality of joints 114. Each of the plurality of joints includes a projection 116 at the top face of each joint. The floor assembly includes a plurality of protruding portions 120, and a covering structure 122. A first pillar 128a, a second pillar 128b, and a fourth pillar 128d of at least four pillars 128 coupled with the roof assembly and the floor assembly. A third pillar 128c at least four pillars comprise a second vertical post guide rail, coupled with the roof assembly.

A car floor for an elevator car includes a planar base part and installation feet arranged thereon. The installation feet support the car floor on the shaft floor of an elevator shaft during the elevator car installation phase. In order to orient the base part in a horizontal position, each of the installation feet is in the form of a height-adjustable installation foot. The height-adjustable installation foot has a threaded rod as part of a threaded spindle for height adjustment.

According to an embodiment, an elevator interface (70) for an elevator system (10) includes an external interface (74) to receive an elevator car (14) outside of the elevator system (10), and an elevator system interface (72) in operable communication with the external interface (74) to introduce the elevator car (14) into the elevator system (10).

The object of the invention is a method for installing an elevator in the construction phase of a building. The elevator comprises an elevator car adapted to move reciprocally in an elevator hoistway in the construction phase and a compensating weight, which is connected via a suspension beam to support the elevator car by means of at least one suspension member and also by means of diverting pulleys. The elevator has a temporary hoisting machine provided with a traction sheave, the hoisting machine being kept in its position for the whole duration of the construction phase of the building, and a traction member, such as a belt, rope or chain, which is adapted to transmit the rotational movement of the traction sheave into movement of the elevator car and of the compensating weight. During the construction time, the supporting and the moving of the elevator car are separated from each other. When taking the elevator into normal operation when the building is at its final height, the construction-time hoisting machine with its traction sheave and traction member is removed, and the new hoisting machine plus traction sheave and hoisting roping is installed into position.

A construction elevator arrangement and a method for producing the same includes a hoisting machinery, an electric cabinet, and cable drums positioned at the bottom of the shaft, an elevator car and a counterweight moving in the shaft, upper pulleys and rope suspenders fixed at an upper end of the lifting height of the construction elevator, and hoisting ropes being fixed to the rope suspenders during the operation of the construction elevator and gliding through the rope suspenders during an upwards jump of the construction elevator in the shaft. The hoisting ropes pass in a 2:1 roping between the car, the upper pulleys, the traction sheave, the counterweight, and the rope suspenders.

Gliding means are attached to a side frame of the car sling, said gliding means comprising a gliding part supported through elasticity means on a frame part. The side frame is positioned on a guide rail in an elevator shaft so that the gliding part of the gliding means sets on the guide rail. The gliding means is provided with an installation jig comprising a first branch positioned between the gliding part and the guide rail, and a second branch positioned in an open space between the frame part and the gliding part for bypassing the elasticity means. The installation jig is removed when the installation of the car sling and the car has been completed.
