The invention relates to an elevator having a car and guide rails along which the car is guided along a hoistway between landings of the elevator, the car comprising: a frame, upper and lower guide elements, which are mounted to said frame at a vertical distance from each other, and exactly one elevator cabin with a cabin floor, in which elevator the cabin isin travel direction of the carmovably connected to the frame between an uppermost and a lowermost position. By this means a high travel comfort can be obtained with economic space usage at the top and bottom of the hoistway.

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.

An elevator car (20) comprises: a cab (24) having a top, a bottom, a left side, a right side, a front, and a back, the front having a door (50); and a frame (22) supporting the cab. The cab comprises a perimeter shroud (120; 320; 420; 620) protruding above a surface of the top and leaving a well (130) exposing a central portion of an upper surface (60) of the top; the perimeter shroud protrudes above the upper surface; and the perimeter shroud has, in vertical section, curved portion.

An elevator installation system and method is disclosed that includes a support structure having a first surface and a second surface. The support structure is oriented such that the first surface faces in a first direction and the second surface faces in a second direction opposite the first direction. The system further includes a hoist supporting the support structure such that at least a portion of the hoist is positioned facing the second surface.

In an active guide roller and an elevator device according to the present invention, one of an actuator movable portion and an actuator fixed portion includes: a yoke, and a pair of magnets, which are configured to generate a magnetic field intersecting a pivot plane of the guide lever, and another one of the actuator movable portion and the actuator fixed portion includes: a bobbin; and a coil. Contact between the coil and the magnet is avoidable by allowing the bobbin and the magnet to be brought into contact with each other or allowing the bobbin and the yoke to be brought into contact with each other when the actuator movable portion is displaced in a direction perpendicular to the pivot plane.

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.

The invention relates to an elevator car comprising a pulley frame; and a cabin frame mounted on the pulley frame; and one or more pulleys mounted on the pulley frame; and at least one elastically deformable support member between the cabin frame and the pulley frame via which at least one elastically deformable support member the cabin frame rests on the pulley frame. The elevator car comprises at least one parallel motion linkage mechanism connecting the cabin frame pivotally to the pulley frame, and arranged to allow the cabin frame to pivot up and down relative to the pulley frame, and to keep their relative angle unchanged. The invention also relates to an elevator implementing the car.

An elevator installation system includes a support structure having a first surface and a second surface. The support structure is configured to support a worker standing on the first surface. The support structure includes at least a portion of an elevator car comprising an elevator cab. The elevator cab includes an interior space for use by at least one of a passenger or cargo. The second surface is a surface of the interior of the elevator cab. The elevator installation system includes a hoist supporting the support structure such that at least a portion of the hoist is coupled with the second surface. The elevator installation system includes a suspension member coupled to the hoist and extending from the hoist in the first direction.

An elevator includes: a car having a car room; a guide rail configured to guide a movement of the car; a lower frame provided on a lower portion of the car room; and an emergency stop apparatus configured to stop the movement of the car. The emergency stop apparatus includes a brake mechanism having a braking element configured to clamp the guide rail, a drive mechanism configured to operate the brake mechanism, and an operation mechanism configured to actuate the drive mechanism. The drive mechanism and the operation mechanism are accommodated in the lower frame.

Techniques are described for an elevator apparatus that includes a cabin apparatus and a hoistway apparatus. In an embodiment, the cabin head apparatus of the cabin apparatus extends parallel to a cross-section of the hoistway apparatus. The air pressure in the part of the hoistway is maintained to be different from the air pressure inside the cabin apparatus and may cause the cabin apparatus to ascend or to stay steady within the hoistway apparatus. The cabin head apparatus is partially load-bearing for the cabin apparatus and any load. In an embodiment, the air pressure difference is maintained by seal(s) that are peripherally coupled to the cabin apparatus, generating an airtight connection of the cabin apparatus with an inner periphery of a cross section of the hoistway apparatus. The seals substantially prevent the air in the top portion of the hoistway apparatus from entering the bottom portion and vice versa.
