The object of the invention is an elevator car intended for transporting people and freight, in an elevator wherein the elevator car is supported resting on suspension members and arranged movably in an elevator hoistway when moved by a hoisting machine. At least the floor and roof of the elevator car are composed of dimensionally precise modular elements fabricated by casting, extruding and/or pressing into their shapes and dimensions.

A connector assembly includes a connector body and a suspension member. The suspension member extends along a center axis and comprises a plurality of tension members encased in a jacket. The suspension member has one end received within the connector body, and this one end has an end face extending at an angle relative to the center axis with ends of the plurality of tension members being exposed. A plurality of contact members are supported within the connector body, and each contact member contacts an exposed end face of at least one tension member to establish electrically conductive connections with the plurality of tension members.

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a rope terminal equipment of a hoisting device, comprising extruding a profile bar; and cutting a wedge shaped piece from the extruded profile bar; and providing a rope terminal frame comprising a tapering nest suitable for accommodating an end of a rope and said wedge shaped piece. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing a rope terminal arrangement of a hoisting device and to an elevator, which implement said method for manufacturing a rope terminal equipment.

An anti-rotation system for an elevator system that includes an elevator shaft, elevator suspension cables, and a mechanical room includes a hitch plate disposed on a floor of the mechanical room and at a top of the elevator shaft, a plurality of cable shackles, each cable shackle including a cable locking mechanism on a first end thereof configured to lock one of the elevator suspension cables and a threaded rod on a second end thereof configured to extend through the hitch plate from the elevator shaft to the mechanical room, and a plurality of anti-rotation devices, each anti-rotation device being fixed to the threaded rod of one of the plurality of cable shackles in the mechanical room, and each anti-rotation device being connected to at least one other anti-rotation device, whereby rotation of cable shackles is prevented.

A method for providing a rope end block on an end of a coated rope includes providing a rope including one or more elongated load bearing members embedded in a coating; and processing an end section of the rope, said processing including removing from the end section of the rope material of the coating from around said one or more load bearing members; and molding a rope end block around the processed end section of the rope. One or more electrically conductive connectors can be embedded in the end block, A method for manufacturing a rope terminal arrangement, a rope terminal arrangement of an elevator as well as to an elevator are also disclosed.

A suspension device and a suspension arrangement for suspending a cable in an elevator hoistway are provided. The suspension device includes a mechanical fixing interface for fixing the suspension device to a supporting structure. The suspension device also includes a fixing part of the cable, which fixing part of the cable is made to be turnable in relation to the mechanical fixing interface.

The invention relates to a method for fabricating a rope terminal arrangement of an elevator, comprising providing a belt-shaped elevator rope comprising a coating forming the outer surface of the rope; providing at least one gripping member having a gripping face; providing a wedge frame delimiting a wedge-shaped space; placing the gripping face of each said gripping member against the coating of a rope section of the belt-shaped rope; bonding the gripping face of each said gripping member and the coating of the rope section together; wedging the at least one gripping member and the rope section in the wedge shaped space.

The invention furthermore relates to a rope terminal arrangement fabricated with the method, as well as to an elevator implementing the rope terminal arrangement.

A connector assembly includes a connector body and a suspension member. The suspension member extends along a center axis and comprises a plurality of tension members encased in a jacket. The suspension member has one end received within the connector body, and this one end has an end face extending at an angle relative to the center axis with ends of the plurality of tension members being exposed. A plurality of contact members are supported within the connector body, and each contact member contacts an exposed end face of at least one tension member to establish electrically conductive connections with the plurality of tension members.

An elevator system has at least one elevator car and at least one counterweight connected by a suspension device, both of which can be counter-directionally displaced at at least one guide rail in an elevator shaft via a traction sheave of a drive. At least one pivotable suspension anchoring is adaptable to displacements of the suspension device according to a displacement angle wherein a rolling body moves on a holding plate.
