This disclosure relates to a cooling system for an elevator with electronic visual displays, and a corresponding method. An example system includes an elevator car having an inner wall, and an electronic visual display mounted to the inner wall so as to define a gap between the inner wall and the electronic visual display. Further, fluid is configured to flow through the gap to cool the electronic visual display.

A method of assembling an elevator car within an elevator hoistway, including installing a car frame onto the elevator hoistway, attaching a car base to the car frame, the car base forming a floor of the elevator car, setting spacers on a top surface of the car base, placing a car roof onto the spacers, the car roof including a first bracket and a second bracket, each bracket including a safety latch assembly, lifting the car roof until to a top position where each safety latch assembly engages a respective top surface of the car frame to fix the car roof to the car frame, the installing wall panels to the car base and to the car roof. As the car roof is lifted, the safety latches travel along a car frame structural vertical member and are maintained in a tensioned state by springs.

An elevator car has a balustrade arranged on a roof of the elevator car, wherein the balustrade includes posts, that are attached on a horizontal upper side of the roof, and post-connecting crossmembers. For each post, a docking element is arranged on the upper side of the roof, and the post can be docked on the docking element. The docking element has form-fitting elements in the form of fingers for accommodating the post in a form-fitting manner and the post has slots or apertures, that are complementary to the fingers, the fingers engaging in the slots or the apertures. The docking element is a flattened component made up of two stacked plates and is screwed to the roof. The balustrade is secured by obliquely running supporting profiles extending between the handrail and the roof.

An elevator system and an elevator car. The elevator system includes one or more elevator cars traveling in an elevator hoistway along a guide rail, a shock absorbing device and a buffering device, the shock absorbing device is installed on at least one outside surface of the elevator car, and the buffering device is installed on an inside wall and/or a bottom of the elevator hoistway and configured to contact the shock absorbing device when the elevator car travels to lowest position along the guide rail.

Elevator systems are provided. The systems include an elevator car movable along an elevator shaft, the shaft having a pit floor and a shaft top, the elevator car having an elevator car door sill. A plurality of landings are arranged along the elevator shaft, wherein each landing has a landing door. A car apron assembly is provided that includes a car apron attached to the elevator car at the elevator car door sill, a first triggering element connected to at least one landing door, and a second triggering element operably connected to the car apron. The car apron is deployable from a stowed state to a deployed state when the first triggering element engages and actuates the second triggering element.

An elevator car has a connecting device and at least one wall element, wherein the connecting device connects the at least one wall element with a bare ceiling of the elevator car. The connecting device includes a rail element with two legs, of which a first leg bears in the mounted state against the bare ceiling and a second leg has a mounting surface for the at least one wall element. The mounting surface has a first hole for suspending the at least one wall element. The at least one wall element has a suspension element at an edge which faces upwardly in the mounted state for engaging into the first hole of the connecting device.

An elevator car (2) includes a roof (4) and an emergency stop device (6) mounted on the roof (4). The emergency stop device (6) is mounted to move between a first position (8) on the roof (4) during a normal operation mode and a second, different position on the roof (4) during an inspection mode. For example, the emergency stop device (6) is movably mounted to a safety balustrade (12) installed on the roof (4). A safety volume (30) may therefore be positioned to align better with a maintenance area (22) on the roof.

A hybrid energy storage system for an elevator car includes a converter disposed on the elevator car and receives power from a power source and provides a first DC voltage to a first DC bus and a second DC voltage to a second DC bus, a first energy storage device connected to the converter receives the first DC voltage on the first DC bus, and a second energy storage device connected to the converter receives the second DC voltage on the second DC bus. The system also includes a first load connected to the first DC bus and a second DC bus, and a second load connected to the second DC bus. Power is provided from the first energy storage device to the first load under a first selected condition and power is supplied from the second energy storage device to the first load under second selected condition.

A running system for an elevator comprises a car, running rails, and a driving mechanism, the car is moved on the running rails by means of the driving mechanism, and the running system does not comprise a traction part. In a multi-car elevator running system; the running system is provided with a plurality of cars and at least two set of running rails, and each set of running rails can be used for the movement of the cars; the running system is further provided with at least one switching mechanism and driving mechanism, the car is moved on the running rails by means of the driving mechanism, different running rails are connected by means of the switching mechanism, and the car is switched to the different running rails by means of the switching mechanism.

A method of assembling an elevator car within an elevator hoistway, including installing a car frame onto the elevator hoistway, attaching a car base to the car frame, the car base forming a floor of the elevator car, setting spacers on a top surface of the car base, placing a car roof onto the spacers, the car roof including a first bracket and a second bracket, each bracket including a safety latch assembly, lifting the car roof until to a top position where each safety latch assembly engages a respective top surface of the car frame to fix the car roof to the car frame, the installing wall panels to the car base and to the car roof. As the car roof is lifted, the safety latches travel along a car frame structural vertical member and are maintained in a tensioned state by springs.
