A method for forming a guide structure in an elevator shaft provides a guide structure configured to guide an elevator car during vertical travel in the elevator shaft. The method includes the following steps: moving a tool, such as a milling tool, vertically along the elevator shaft, wherein the tool is precisely positioned with respect to the horizontal position thereof within the elevator shaft, and forming the guide structure by removing material on a shaft wall of the elevator shaft using the tool.

A rail clip assembly for mounting a guide rail section to a support bracket includes a rail clip having a base and an arm extending at an angle to the base. At least one contact assembly is mounted to the rail clip. The contact assembly contacts an adjacent surface of the guide rail section at a point.

A device may be employed to damp vibrations in elevator installations. The device may include two metal plates that are spaced apart from one another by an insulator made of an elastomer. An inner side of at least one of the two metal plates may have a structure that is formed by projections. In some cases, both of the metal plates may include such structures, and the projections of each metal plate may engage with one another. Due to the flexibility of the insulator, the insulator can fit in the structure formed by the projections. Geometric sizes of the projections, arrangement of the projections, shapes of the projections, and spacings between the projections can all affect a level of damping.

A method for erecting an elevator system in an elevator shaft of a building includes performing at least one lift process to adapt a usable lift height of the elevator system to an increasing height of the building. During the lift process, a drive platform, which supports an elevator drive machine and, via a flexible support, an elevator car and a counterweight, is lifted along at least one elevator car guide rail. Prior to the lift process, the at least one elevator car guide rail is elongated in the upwards direction above the drive platform and fixed to a shaft wall of the elevator shaft by at least one auxiliary support in the region of the elongation. After the lift process, the at least one auxiliary support, which then lies below the drive platform, is replaced by a final guide rail mounting which is designed differently than the auxiliary support.

Provided is a guide rail device for an elevator, which includes a plurality of fixing bodies. Among the plurality of fixing bodies, a fixing body that is the closest to a fishplate is referred to as a first fixing body, and a fixing body that is the second closest to the fishplate is referred to as a second fixing body. Further, a distance between a position of the first fixing body and a position of the second fixing body in a vertical direction is referred to as a rail fixing distance. In this case, a distance from the position of the first fixing body to a position of the fishplate in the vertical direction is one-third or less of the rail fixing distance.

A structure for a guide pillar system is disclosed. The structure includes a central hollow pillar section 20 which includes at least four sides including a first side 30, a second side 40, a third side 50, and a fourth side 60. The central hollow pillar section 20 also includes at least three grooved rib profiles 70 adapted to mechanically couple the central hollow pillar section 20 to elevator component(s). The at least three grooved rib profiles 70 are attached to an inner surface of the first side 30, the second side 40, and the third side 50. The structure also includes at least two curved sections 80 positioned at a first predefined portion of an outer surface of the first side 30 and the third side 50. The at least two curved sections 80 are adapted to provide structural integrity and radius edge(s) to the fourth side 60 of the central hollow pillar section 20.

The present invention relates to the technical field of thermal transfer printing equipment, and particularly to a thermal transfer printing device, comprising a body, a hot pressing plate assembly, a bracket and a pad; the body comprises an upper support and a lower support that extend horizontally; the hot pressing plate assembly is arranged below the upper support and driven by the drive mechanism to move up and down; the bracket is arranged on the upper side of the lower support to provide support for materials to be heat-transfer printed; the pad is arranged in the pad placement area and positioned by the positioning protrusions. The positioning protrusions on the edge of the bracket can effectively position the pad to prevent the dislocation between the pad and the bracket, which is simple in structure and convenient in operation.

A guide rail fixing device that can increase frictional force against a guide rail without increasing the number of brackets installed on an inner wall of a hoistway. The guide rail fixing device includes: a rail bracket in contact with a bottom face of a base of a guide rail placed in the lowest portion out of multiple guide rails arranged in line in an elevator hoistway; a rail clip to clamp the base of the guide rail in cooperation with the rail bracket; and a friction plate which is in contact both with the bottom face of the base of the guide rail placed in the lowest portion and in contact with an upper end of the rail bracket, to clamp, in cooperation with a rail clip, the base of the guide rail placed in the lowest portion.

The object of the invention is an arrangement and a guide rail bracket for fixing the compensating weight guide rails of an elevator.

A mounting device for performing an assembly process in an elevator shaft of an elevator system includes a support component and a mechatronic assembly component. The support component moves within the elevator shaft. The assembly component is retained on the support component and carries out a mounting step in an at least partially automatic manner during the assembly process. The support component includes a fastening part that secures the support component and/or the assembly component in a direction extending transversely to the vertical, i.e. for example in a horizontal or lateral direction, within the elevator shaft.
