Abstract:
A method of constructing an elevator, the elevator including a hoistway, an elevator car, a first movable support structure in the hoistway above the elevator car, for supporting the elevator car with a roping, and a roof structure, separate from the movable support structure, in the hoistway above the support structure, where the elevator car is used for transporting passengers and/or goods, and thereafter the first movable support structure is lifted higher in the hoistway, and thereafter the elevator car is used again for transporting passengers and/or goods. The method includes lifting the roof structure higher in the hoistway so as to make more room below the roof structure, the roof structure being a movable roof structure, and in that the movable roof structure is lifted in the hoistway taking support for the lift from a second movable support structure mounted in the hoistway above the roof structure.
Abstract:
Method in the manufacture of an elevator, in which method the parts of a platform, more particularly its support structure, are used for forming the structure that supports the machinery of the final machine room of the elevator, which platform has earlier been in its position in a position disposed lower in the elevator hoistway, and which platform was used in the aforementioned lower disposed position for supporting the machinery.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a procedure and an apparatus intended to be used in elevator installation to install the overspeed governor (28) for the time it takes to install the elevator. According to the invention, when the elevator is being installed, at least one suspension element (17) is fastened to the upper part of the elevator shaft (2), an element (30) supporting the overspeed governor (28) is fitted to the suspension element and the position of the overspeed governor (28) at least in the vertical direction is so adjusted that it corresponds to the final placement of the overspeed governor (28). After the elevator guide rails (56) have been installed, the overspeed governor is removed from the suspension element (17) and fixed to a guide rail.
Abstract:
A method and elevator arrangement wherein a roof structure is lifted higher in a hoistway so as to make more room below the roof structure, the roof structure being a movable roof structure, and in that the movable roof structure is lifted in the hoistway taking support for the lift from a second movable support structure mounted in the hoistway above the roof structure.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is related to a travelling cable clamp assembly fixing an elevator travelling cable to a fixing base, such as to a first movable support structure in the hoistway for supporting said at least one elevator unit movable in the hoistway, including at least an elevator car.
Abstract:
In a method in the use of a construction-time elevator, at least two lifts are performed. In each of the lifts, the supporting platform is lifted higher in the elevator hoistway with the hoisting device supported by the support structure so as to extend the operating range of the elevator car to reach higher in the elevator hoistway. A second support structure and a second hoisting device, which are above the support structure, are used between the lifts of the supporting platform, for moving the working platform in the elevator hoistway under construction between the second support structure and the support structure, and for lifting the support structure upwards in the elevator hoistway.
Abstract:
An elevator arrangement includes an elevator hoistway, an elevator car, and a movable supporting platform for supporting the elevator components in the elevator hoistway. The supporting platform includes a supporting frame. The supporting frame includes a plurality of beams that are rigidly fixed to each other. The plurality of beams are arranged such that towards each of all four lateral directions of the supporting platform points at least one beam end of the supporting frame, at which beam end is a movable support element belonging to a plurality of movable support elements movable between a position extended from the platform towards the side and a position retracted towards the platform.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for installing an elevator with-out machine room during the construction of a building, said elevator comprising at least a hoisting machine (4) provided with a traction sheave (30) and an elevator car (3) suspended by a set of hoisting ropes (28) and fitted to move along guide rails (2), and in which method at least a temporary machine room (6) movable in the elevator shaft (1) is utilized. At the final stage of installation, the machine room (6) of the elevator provided with a temporary machine room (6) is dismounted and the elevator is converted into an elevator without machine room by placing the hoisting machine (4) that was used in the temporary machine room (6), together with the hoisting ropes (28) on the traction sheave (30), into its final position in the elevator shaft (1).
