  • Publication number: 20230135086
    Abstract: A rail foot holder used in a method to fasten a rail of an elevator system in an elevator shaft has a contact body arranged in the elevator shaft in a stationary manner, at least one clamping part, and at least one intermediate part. The contact body defines a contact plane for a rail foot of the rail. The clamping part is connected to the contact body. The intermediate part is arranged between the clamping part and the contact body. When fastening the rail, a holding dimension between the clamping part and the contact plane can be set or changed for adaptation to the rail foot. The intermediate part has a fixed intermediate part height which, together with a clamping part height of the clamping part, determines the holding dimension.

  • Patent number: 10065835
    Abstract: A car door-shaft door coupling for arrangement on a door wing with a door leaf plane includes a pivoting lever, which is rotatably mounted on a rotational axis on a support element, and a moveable element, which is coupled to the pivoting lever in such a manner that a movement of the moveable element carried out parallel to the door leaf plane causes the pivoting lever to perform a rotational movement for coupling a car door to a shaft door and change the distance between the lever and the door leaf plane by horizontal movement.

  • Patent number: 9132992
    Abstract: A cage-door/shaft-door coupling of an elevator installation includes at least one pivot lever pivotably mounted at an axis of rotation associated therewith, wherein the pivot lever has a joint point and wherein the cage-door/shaft-door coupling further includes a first entrainer runner, which is mounted at the joint point, wherein the pivot lever includes a base member and a setting element fastened to the base member by way of a settable fixing means and wherein the settable fixing means enables a change in the spacing between the joint point and the associated axis of rotation.
