  • Patent number: 10486943
    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.

  • Patent number: 10065836
    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.

  • Patent number: 9862573
    Abstract: A method for introducing an elevator support into an elevator system includes a support brake device for controlling a drawing-in speed of the elevator support. The elevator support is wound on a support roller at a floor or in a machine room of a building. The elevator support is unwound from the roller and introduced into a shaft of the elevator system. The support brake device is arranged between the support roller and the shaft, and a drawing-in speed of the elevator support is adjusted by the support brake device. The support brake device contains a traction pulley for receiving the elevator support that is rotatably mounted in a support frame so that the elevator support can at least partly loop around the traction pulley. The traction pulley is braked by a pulley brake device, whereby the drawing-in speed can be controlled.
