Abstract: An elevator in which a first gap between a car sill and a landing sill can be maintained as small as possible except at a space of the car sill which passes over a second connecting element that drives a landing door on a landing. The structure of the elevator is simple, inexpensive and reliable, wherein a second gap of the space required for the connecting element, which gap is larger than the first gap, can be closed and opened.

Abstract: When the car of the elevator is at the landing the first gap (20) between the first front edge (9) of the car sill (7) and the second front edge (16) of the landing sill (14) is at most approx. 15 mm, preferably approx. 1-10 mm, in the area (21) of the car sill which is on the side of the space (19) into which the second connecting elements (18) in the shaft extend in the horizontal direction. The car sill contains an opening (22) and the footguard (10) can contain a corresponding vertical chute (23) at the point of the opening (22). The opening (22) and the chute (23) allow the passage of the car sill (7) and the footguard (10) over the second connecting elements (18). The second gap (24) left between the landing sill (14) and the car sill (7) at the point of the opening (22) is greater than the first gap (20). The car sill (7) comprises a closing element (25), which contains a covering surface (26) essentially the size of the opening.

Abstract: A hold block for fastening a structural elevator component, such as a landing door sill, an overhead structure of a landing door opening or a car door sill, to a base. The hold block comprises a fixing element for fixing the hold block to the base and a supporting element, disposed at an angle relative to the fixing element, for attachment of the structural component to the hold block, both of the elements being made of the same continuous plate-like material. In addition, the hold block comprises an adjustment elbow between the fixing element and the supporting element to allow adjustment of the angle between the planes defined by the elements, and a locking element for locking this angle.
