An elevator car includes a bottom, a roof and a cage with walls therebetween. The support structure in at least one wall is formed of a grid structure including at least one grid module. The grid module includes vertical support rods and horizontal support rods forming a grid and extending between respective frame elements in a frame.

An elevator car wall includes a support construction formed of a grid structure with vertical and horizontal support rods and a surface construction formed of panels attached with panel fastening elements to the grid structure. A vertical seam profile with a U-shaped bottom portion and an I-shaped middle portion is positioned between panel rows and attached with seam profile fastening elements to the grid structure. The middle portion extends between the vertical edges of the panel rows. A portion of the panel fastening element extends into contact with an inside surface of a respective branch of the U-shaped bottom portion in order to secure the vertical side edge of the panel against the middle portion.

The accessory fastening element is used to fasten accessories to a car wall comprising a grid structure with vertical and horizontal support rods. The accessory fastening element comprises a longitudinal frame extending over at least two adjacent horizontal support rods. The frame comprises at least two recesses for detachably coupling the accessory fastening element to the horizontal support rods. A locking device is connected to the frame for locking and unlocking the accessory fastening element to the horizontal support rods. An attachment member is connected to the frame, whereby an accessory may be attached with fastening means to the attachment member.

An improved elevator pad assembly includes a plurality of closely spaced, flexible loops secured to the backside of a protective elevator pad, preferably within the upper margin near the top edge of the pad. In one embodiment, the loops are formed as part of a narrow mounting strip affixed to the back cover of the pad. Each loop lies hidden from view below the upper edge of the pad, and remains hidden from view even when fastened to a wall stud or other mounting hardware affixed to the elevator cab walls or ceiling. The flexible loops eliminate the need for grommets and make it easy to mount the pad assembly on elevator cab mounting hardware, allowing the elevator pad to be neatly positioned against the wall without bunching or sagging.

An elevator car panel (16, 16a), which is configured to be attached to at least one structural element (14) of an elevator car (2) comprises at least one opening (18) formed in a surface of the elevator car panel (16, 16a) for receiving at least one magnet (28); and at least one magnet (28) arranged within said one opening (18), wherein the at least one magnet (28) is configured for magnetically fixing the elevator car panel (16, 16a) to the at least one structural element (14).

An elevator car (20) includes an interior panel and a multi-layered covering (34) located over the interior panel. The covering (34) includes a plurality of layers (36), with each layer (36) being peelable from an adjacent layer (36) of the plurality of layers (36) located beneath. By removing the outermost layer (36), the aesthetic appearance of the elevator car (20) interior is refreshed.

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.

Panel securing assemblies for an elevator car and elevator cars having panel securing assemblies that include a body with a first end and a second end, a fastener attachment structure located at the first end and configured to engage with a wall panel and a frame of an elevator car, and an engagement attachment structure located at the second end and configured to engage with the frame of the elevator car. The body defines a corner surface within the elevator car when installed to the wall panel and frame.

A structural member (220) for an elevator cabin (100) is provided. The structural member (220) includes a body having a first portion (234) configured to be disposed on an interior side of an elevator cabin (100) wall, a second portion (236) configured to be disposed on an exterior side of the elevator cabin (100) wall, and an intermediate portion (238) connecting the first portion (234) to the second portion (236). At least one support channel is formed between the first portion (234) and the second portion (236) and defined by a surface of the first portion (234), a surface of the second portion (236), and a surface of the intermediate portion (238). The body is configured to provide structural rigidity to the elevator cabin (100) wall.

An elevator car (12) for an elevator system (10) comprises: at least one side wall (38); at least one movable panel (60) forming at least a portion of the at least one side wall (38). The movable panel (60) is movable between a maintenance position, in which the panel allows access to components (28, 30, 32) of the elevator system (10), and an operational position, in which the movable panel (60) prevents access to said components (28, 30, 32). The at least one movable panel (60) comprises at least one handrail element (64), the handrail element (64) including a locking mechanism (54) which is configured to selectively lock the movable panel (60) in the operational position.
