  • Method in the manufacture of an elevator
    Patent number: 9193567
    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.
    Type: Grant

  • Method of installing an elevator
    Patent number: 8881872
    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.

  • Elevator arrangement and method
    Patent number: 8616340
    Abstract: Method in the use of a construction-time elevator, in which method the supporting platform that supports the elevator car of the elevator is lifted higher in the elevator hoistway with a hoisting device supported on a support structure. In the method the supporting platform is suspended from the support structure via at least one hoisting device and rope comprised in the hoisting device and the supporting platform is lifted upwards in the elevator hoistway with a lifting ratio of 1:x, where x is greater than 1.
