An elevator car for an elevator installation may include at least one side wall having a doorway and an elevator car door. For opening and/or closing the doorway, the elevator car door can be moved at least partially parallel to the side wall on an outside of the side wall. In opening and/or closing, the elevator car door can be moved at least partially in a direction perpendicular to the side wall. In the closing process, the elevator car door can be at least partially sunk in the doorway. A coupling element may couple the elevator car door to a shaft door in at least one of opening or closing the elevator car door.

A collapsible gate includes a first side column, a second side column, a collapsible barrier assembly, a receiver, and a powertrain. The collapsible barrier assembly is disposed between the first and second side columns. The collapsible barrier is configured to transition between a collapsed position and a raised position. The receiver is disposed between the first side column and the second side column and is configured to receive at least a portion of the collapsible barrier assembly when it is in the collapsed position. The receiver has a first end coupled to the first lower portion of the side column and an opposite second end coupled to the second lower portion of the second side column. The powertrain is configured to transmit mechanical power to the collapsible barrier assembly to facilitate transitioning the collapsible barrier assembly between the collapsed position and the raised position.

A landing door of an elevator system includes a door leaf equipped with an integrated floor indicator that signals to a person the floor on which an elevator car approaching the exit floor is currently located. The door leaf of the landing door has a wall element made of sheet metal with a microperforated indicator sector and actuatable light sources arranged in the indicator sector behind the wall element to form the floor indicator.

Elevator door arrangement includes door panel connected to door mechanism by an interface member. Door panel first fixation plate section and door mechanism second fixation plate section extend in horizontal and vertical planes respectively. Interface member has first and second interconnection plate sections extending parallel to the horizontal and vertical planes respectively. Third oblong through-hole extends in second horizontal direction in first fixation plate section, first oblong through-hole extends in first horizontal direction in first interconnection plate section transverse to the second horizontal direction, and second oblong through-hole extends in vertical direction in second fixation plate section. Door panel is fixed to interface member by a first fixation member vertically extending through the first and optionally the third through-holes and interface member is fixed to door mechanism by a second fixation member horizontally extending through the second through-hole establishing 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional door panel adjustability.

Disclosed is a system for an elevator door of an elevator car, wherein a controller controls the elevator door to travel in a proximate direction when closing and travel in a distal direction when opening, the system including: a panel that forms an exterior surface of an elevator door, the panel including a front surface extending in a widthwise direction between a proximate end and an opposing distal end to form a front surface of the elevator door, the panel including a proximate end surface extending in a depthwise direction to form a proximate end surface of the elevator door, the proximate end surface of the panel comprising a resilient portion that is capable of engaging a sensor in the panel when the elevator door is closing, and thereafter the controller instructs the elevator door to reopen.

A landing door of an elevator system has a door leaf equipped with an integrated floor display that indicates to a person the floor at which an elevator car approaching the floor of departure is currently located. The door leaf of the landing door has a wall element made of sheet metal, the floor display having at least one controllable light source arranged behind the wall element, and a cover layer. The wall element has a display segment with a plurality of light passage openings, the light passage openings forming a perforated screen structure. The cover layer functions such that after the light source is activated to display the desired floor information, light from the light source penetrates through the light passage openings and the cover layer to the outside and when the light source is deactivated, the cover layer does not let light through to the outside.

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.

Disclosed is an elevator system having: a door panel configured for moving along a first axis for opening and closing of the door panel at an entryway, the door panel having a door magnet, the entryway including a sill, the sill having a sill magnet, wherein the door magnet and the sill magnet are configured for forming a first magnetic pairing, and wherein the first magnetic pairing guides the door panel to move along the first axis and prevents the door panel from moving in a lateral direction with respect to the first axis.

Disclosed is a system for an elevator door of an elevator car, wherein a controller controls the elevator door to travel in a proximate direction when closing and travel in a distal direction when opening, the system including: a panel that forms an exterior surface of an elevator door, the panel including a front surface extending in a widthwise direction between a proximate end and an opposing distal end to form a front surface of the elevator door, the panel including a proximate end surface extending in a depthwise direction to form a proximate end surface of the elevator door, the proximate end surface of the panel comprising a resilient portion that is capable of engaging a sensor in the panel when the elevator door is closing, and thereafter the controller instructs the elevator door to reopen.

A sheet metal base panel for use in elevators is disclosed wherein the said base panel is made from sheet metal of low thickness without compromising its structural integrity, by a specialised hemming process. The said base panel is constructed from a single sheet of metal and incorporates the top and bottom header to form a unitary component. The construction is such that the headers can be positioned either way and hence possesses rotational symmetry which enables in easier installation. This is achieved by a special bending of the base panel on all edges of both the top side and bottom side, four times—a first 90° bending (1a) followed by a second 90° bending (1b), a third 90° bending (1c) and a fourth 180° hemming (1d) of the open edge formed after the third 90° bending (1c).
