20120255150 | METHOD FOR REPLACING THE ROPES OF AN ELEVATOR, AND AN ELEVATOR - A method for replacing the elevator ropes in an elevator provided with at least a hoisting machine, a traction sheave and a counterweight, in which the elevator car is supported with elevator ropes and which elevator comprises compensating ropes. In connection with the first rope replacement the compensating ropes are converted into the hoisting ropes of the elevator and at least a part of the hoisting ropes are converted into the compensating ropes of the elevator. | 10-11-2012 |
20130048432 | ELEVATOR - Elevator, which includes at least an elevator car and a device for moving the elevator car, preferably along guide rails, and a counterweight, and one or more ropes, which rope connects the elevator car and the counterweight and is separate from the supporting function and passes around a diverting pulley mounted on the bottom end of the elevator hoistway. The rope comprises a power transmission part or a plurality of power transmission parts, for transmitting power in the longitudinal direction of the rope, which power transmission part is essentially fully of non-metallic material. | 02-28-2013 |
20140034425 | ELEVATOR ARRANGEMENT - The object of the invention is an elevator arrangement, which comprises at least an elevator car configured to move up and down in an elevator hoistway and at least two compensating weights, which are for their part connected to support the elevator car by the aid of their own support means, such as by the aid of ropes or belts and also e.g. diverting pulleys, and a hoisting machine provided with at least one traction sheave or corresponding, and at least one traction means such as a rope or belt, which is configured to transmit the rotational movement of the traction sheave into movement of the elevator car and of the compensating weights. Each compensating weight is connected by the aid of a traction means to the same hoisting machine. | 02-06-2014 |
20140083802 | TENSIONING ARRANGEMENT FOR A TRACTION MEANS OF AN ELEVATOR - The object of the invention is a tensioning arrangement for a traction means of an elevator, which arrangement comprises at least an elevator car configured to move up and down in an elevator hoistway and at least one or more compensating weights, which are for their part connected to support the elevator car by the aid of their own support means, such as by the aid of ropes or belts and also of diverting pulleys, and a hoisting machine provided with at least one traction sheave or corresponding, and also at least one traction means ( | 03-27-2014 |
20140231179 | ELEVATOR ARRANGEMENT AND METHOD - An elevator arrangement, includes an elevator hoistway, an elevator car, which is arranged to travel in the elevator hoistway, a counterweight, a movable supporting platform above the elevator car, suspension roping, which is connected to the elevator car and to the counterweight, and supports them while suspended from the supporting platform, and a hoisting machine, which includes a device configured to move the roping. The elevator arrangement also includes a hoisting machine and traction roping that are separate from the supporting platform, which hoisting machine is in power transmission connection via the traction roping with the elevator car and with the counterweight. | 08-21-2014 |
20140291074 | ELEVATOR ARRANGEMENT AND METHOD FOR RE-ADJUSTING THE ELEVATOR ARRANGEMENT - An elevator arrangement includes a plurality of elevators in a building, which plurality includes a plurality of zoned elevators moving in an elevator hoistway, which have different ranges of movement of the elevator car in the building to each other, and which zoned elevators each have a top limit and a bottom limit of the range of movement of the elevator car, to above the top limit and to below the bottom limit of which range of movement travel of the elevator car of the zoned elevator in question is prevented. The vertical location, in relation to the building, of the top limit and/or bottom limit of the range of movement of the elevator car of each aforementioned zoned elevator can be changed. The arrangement also comprises a lobby elevator, the range of movement of the elevator car of which differs from the ranges of movement of the elevator cars of the aforementioned zoned elevators, and the stopping floors of the lobby elevator comprise a plurality of lobby floors, each of which is a stopping floor of one or more zoned elevators belonging to the aforementioned zoned elevator plurality. A method is provided for re-adjusting the elevator arrangement, wherein the range of movement of the elevator car of the zoned elevator in question is changed to reach to a different height in the elevator hoistway by changing the vertical location in relation to the building of the top limit and/or the bottom limit of the range of movement of the elevator car of the zoned elevator in question. | 10-02-2014 |
20140305745 | ELEVATOR - An elevator includes an elevator car, a counterweight and suspension roping, which connects the elevator car and counterweight to each other, and which suspension roping includes one or more ropes, which include a load-bearing composite part, which includes reinforcing fibers in a polymer matrix. The elevator car and the counterweight are arranged to be moved by exerting a vertical force on at least the elevator car or on the counterweight. The elevator includes a device separate from the suspension roping for exerting the force on at least the elevator car or on the counterweight. | 10-16-2014 |
20140318902 | METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A ROPE, A ROPE AND AN ELEVATOR - A method for manufacturing a rope includes providing at least one pre-manufactured elongated load bearing member for the rope and at least one pre-manufactured elongated surface part for the rope, guiding together said at least one pre-manufactured elongated load bearing member and said at least one pre-manufactured elongated surface part such that their sides lean against each other, and fixing said at least one pre-manufactured elongated load bearing member and said at least one pre-manufactured elongated surface part to each other. A rope obtained with the method, and an elevator including the rope obtained with the method are also disclosed. | 10-30-2014 |
20140345978 | TRAVELLING CABLE OF AN ELEVATOR, AND AN ELEVATOR - A travelling cable of an elevator, more particularly of a passenger transport elevator and/or freight transport elevator, includes a protective envelope, conductors for transmitting electrical energy and data between the elevator car and the elevator hoistway, and one or more load-bearing bearer parts of essentially the length of the travelling cable for fixing the travelling cable at its first end to the elevator car and at its second end to the elevator hoistway, and which bearer part includes glass-fiber reinforcements and/or aramid-fiber reinforcements and/or carbon-fiber reinforcements and/or polybenzoxazole-fiber reinforcements and/or polyethylene-fiber reinforcements and/or nylon-fiber reinforcements in a polymer matrix material. An elevator includes the travelling cable. | 11-27-2014 |
