An elevator car (6) comprises a frame (20) and a removable cover plate (22). The cover plate (22) comprises at least one aperture (28) formed in a first end (22a) of the cover plate (22) allowing at least one fixing element (30) extending from the frame (20) to pass through the at least one aperture (28) for fixing the cover plate (22) to the frame (20). The cover plate (22) further comprises at least one permanent magnet (24) provided at an opposing second end (22b) of the cover plate (22) and/or at a portion of the frame (20) abutting the second end (22b) of the cover plate (22). The at least one permanent magnet (24) is configured for fixing the second end (22b) of the cover plate (22) to a portion of the frame (20).

In a cage lighting device for an elevator, a lighting cover includes a main cover, a first auxiliary cover opposing a first cage wall, and a second auxiliary cover opposing a second cage wall. Respective dimensions of the first and second auxiliary covers in a lengthwise direction of the lighting cover are smaller than a dimension of the main cover in the lengthwise direction of the lighting cover. By loosening a first auxiliary cover fastening tool, the first auxiliary cover becomes capable of sliding in the lengthwise direction relative to a lighting cover attachment member between a position adjacent to the main cover and a position contacting the first cage wall.

An elevator car includes a car box. The car box includes a frame structure that includes a floor element, vertical beams connected to the floor element, and roof beams connected to the vertical beams. The car box further includes walls, each including wall elements of rectangular shape fixed side-by-side to the frame structure and extending from one edge side of the car box to another. The car box includes a roof including roof elements of rectangular shape fixed side-by-side to the frame structure and extending from one edge side of the car box to another. The car box includes and interior bounded by at least the floor element, the walls, and the roof. At least on set of elements, of the roof elements and the wall elements, includes elements associated with separate, respective integrated functionalities.

Elevator maintenance access systems and methods are provided. The elevator maintenance access systems include a frame defining a structural frame of an elevator car and a moveable element moveably coupled to the frame, wherein the moveable element is moveable relative to the frame between a first state and a second state, wherein when the moveable element is in the second state a maintenance gap is formed to enable access from an interior of the elevator car to an exterior of the elevator car.

An elevator system includes a hoistway and an elevator car suspended in the hoistway via a suspension member and drivable along the hoistway. The elevator car includes an elevator car panel and a battery pocket positioned in the elevator car panel. A battery is removably positioned in the battery pocket. The battery and the battery pocket are configured such that inspection, maintenance and/or repair of the battery is performed without entry into the hoistway of the elevator system. A method of servicing an elevator system includes driving an elevator car along a hoistway and stopping the elevator car near a selected elevator landing floor. A battery is at least partially removed from a battery pocket at the elevator car via a technician located at the selected elevator landing floor for inspection, maintenance, replacement and/or repair.

An elevator car control panel is provided. The elevator car control panel includes buttons by which one or more passengers of the elevator car control ascension and declension of the elevator car, an opening and closing of doors of the elevator car, an alarm and contact with an administrator and a variator by which one or more passengers control an elevator car atmospheric condition.

The elevator comprising a car moving upwards and downwards in a well, a controller controlling the elevator, and a well lighting. The method comprises detecting a manual unlocking or a manual opening of a landing door, activating the well lighting automatically when the controller detects a manual unlocking or a manual opening of a landing door.

A planar elevator car element for an elevator installation may include a first cover layer, a second cover layer, and an intermediate layer. The intermediate layer may have a lesser density than the first cover layer. Furthermore, the planar elevator car element may include a frame profiled element disposed along at least one of its edges, which is positioned between the first cover layer and the second cover layer. In some examples, the frame profiled element extends around multiple edges of the planar elevator car element. In a method for producing the planar elevator car element, a stack involving the first cover layer, the second cover layer, the intermediate layer, and the frame profiled element may be heated and thereby joined into a structural part.

An elevator car lining panel (81-90), which is configured to be attached to at least one structural panel (41-49) of an elevator car (2), includes at least one first connection portion (10), which is configured for connecting with at least one corresponding second connection portion (18) of an adjacent elevator car lining panel (81-90) in order to fix two adjacent elevator car lining panels (81-90) with each other. The at least one first connection portion (10) is provided with a fixing structure which allows for fixing the elevator car lining panel (81-90) to an adjacent structural panel (41-49) of the elevator car (2).

The present invention provides an openable extended panel, and a lift ceiling, lift car and lift system having same, wherein the openable extended panel is mounted to a support frame and is in positional correspondence to an escape exit at a car roof; the openable extended panel is rotatably connected to the support frame at a first side, and the openable extended panel is connected to the support frame via an intermediate member at a second side opposite to the first side, the support frame and the openable extended panel being respectively detachably connected to the intermediate member. The openable extended panel according to the embodiments of the present invention has a simple structure, and can be easily opened.
