Abstract: A method for installing a guide rail of an elevator installation arranged in an elevator shaft, wherein the guide rail includes a multiplicity of guide-rail segments that are aligned and arranged in a row one beside the other, includes the following steps: fixing an aligning element in the elevator shaft at a first point in relation to an aligned and fastened first one of the guide-rail segments, wherein the first point is positioned on a route provided by horizontally directed parallel displacement of the route formed by the first guide-rail segment; fixing the aligning element at a second point, in the form of a reference point, in the elevator shaft, an aligning-element portion for aligning a second one of the guide-rail segments therefore being formed between the first and the second points; and aligning the second guide-rail segment relative to the aligning-element portion.

Abstract: A method for installing a component of an elevator system having an elevator shaft involves the steps of: mounting a positioning frame in the elevator shaft in relation to a wall of the elevator shaft; attaching a guide line in the elevator shaft separately from the positioning frame; aligning the guide line using the positioning frame; and aligning the component using the aligned guide line. A device for carrying out the method includes the guide line, the positioning frame having positioning aids for the guide line and an adjustable fastener for attaching the guide line in the elevator shaft.

Abstract: An elevator car has an aerodynamic cladding which in an upward travel direction of the elevator car is disposed above an upper side of the elevator car and which is connected with the elevator car. An attachment structure serves as a cladding, which is of self-supporting construction. The elevator car has an opening mechanism which is designed for transferring a movable superstructure of the attachment structure from a closed state to an open state.
