Patent number: 11981537Abstract: The arrangement comprises a self-climbing installation platform comprising two consecutive decks, a machine room deck suspended from the installation platform and an elevator car suspended from the machine room deck. Each deck, the machine room deck and the car are supported movably with guide means on guide rails and locked and unlocked with locking means to the guide rails and/or to guide rail fixing means. Lifting means powered by a power source move the two decks in relation to each other. The installation platform climbs stepwise along the guide rails by alternatingly locking and unlocking the lower deck and the upper deck to the guide rails and/or to the guide rail fixing means and thereafter raising the unlocked deck.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2022Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: Kone CorporationInventors: Otto Lanz, Matti Rasanen, Markku Haapaniemi, Jukka Turpeinen, Anssi Venho, Janne Laine, Janne Mikkonen, Aki Haikonen, Jari Osterman, Jori Hagg, Jorma Mustalahti, Petri Kere

Patent number: 11618647Abstract: According to an aspect, there is provided an elevator car parking brake comprising a brake carrier having a first plate and a second plate, the plates being spaced from each other and positioned to enable a guide rail to travel within the space between the plates, a caliper movably connected to the brake carrier, brake pads, and an actuator configured to move the brake pads against a guide rail in a braking operation. The elevator car parking brake further comprises at least one first compression spring arranged between the first plate of the brake carrier and a brake pad directly associated with the actuator; and at least one second compression spring arranged between the second plate of the brake carrier and the caliper, the first and second compression springs being configured to keep the brake pads substantially centered with respect to the brake carrier.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2019Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: Kone CorporationInventors: Antti Koskinen, Antti I Maki, Jukka Turpeinen, Hilkka Hamalainen, Antti Saarelainen, Henri Wenlin, Mikko Puranen, Timo Vlasov, Jukka Penttila, Jorma Sarkkinen

Patent number: 11584618Abstract: A method and a system for the evacuation of buildings providing an elevator system includes at least one elevator car and an elevator shaft. The system includes a device to detect an incident or a device to receive an emergency signal in this regard, a device for determining the floor of this incident, and at least one sealing element (positioned in the elevator shaft and constructed to seal the elevator shaft, so that the elevator shaft is divided in at least two sections.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2018Date of Patent: February 21, 2023Assignee: KONE CORPORATIONInventors: Ari Hänninen, Reetta Ranne, Kirsi Nyrhinen, Nithil Karimpanackal Natarajan, Hannu Nousu, Liina Poropudas, Cristina Bianchi, Jukka Turpeinen, Jarmo Parkkinen

Patent number: 10773923Abstract: In the technical field of elevator systems, so as to provide a measure for preventing an overspeed governor rope inertia from unwantedly engaging a safety gear in an overspeed governor system, which has a governor rope connected to a moving mass of the elevator system, a machinery brake for decelerating the moving mass so as to perform a quick stop of the moving mass, a safety gear mounted to the moving mass, a synchronization linkage for tripping the safety gear and a synchronization linkage blocking device for blocking the synchronization linkage and/or a governor brake for braking the governor rope, it is determined whether a quick stop of the moving mass is performed, and the governor brake or the synchronization linkage blocking device is activated when the quick stop of the moving mass is performed.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2017Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: KONE CORPORATIONInventors: Mikko Puranen, Riku Lampinen, Jarkko Saloranta, Antti I Mäki, Jukka Turpeinen, Samuli Mäntynen

Patent number: 8387756Abstract: A solution for the allocation of destination calls in an elevator system includes one or more single-deck elevators and one or more multi-deck elevators, in which system the passenger enters a destination call via a destination call device. The destination call entered by the passenger is received, an elevator type to serve the destination call is selected on the basis of an elevator type selection criterion, and the destination call is allocated to an elevator consistent with the elevator type thus selected.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2010Date of Patent: March 5, 2013Assignee: Kone CorporationInventors: Pentti Laihanen, Jukka Turpeinen, Johannes de Jong
