Abstract: A termination device for an aramid-based elevator rope comprises a socket having a tapered internal passageway adapted to receive a wedge and a rope. The passageway has first and second semi-cylindrical rope engaging surfaces. The wedge has a peripheral groove having a variable radius of curvature. The device clamps the length of rope between linear portions of the wedge and the rope engaging surfaces of the socket with a substantially uniform application of force on the cross-section of the rope.

Abstract: A height adjustment assembly connecting an elevator door to an elevator door hanger comprises a door bracket, a plurality of door clip receiving sections and corresponding number of door clips. Each door clip comprises upper and lower fins, side fins, and an oblique slot disposed centrally between the fins. Each oblique slot is aligned with an aperture in the receiving sections, and the upper and lower fins slidably engage corresponding slots in the receiving sections. A fastener inserted into the oblique slot in the door clip and the aperture in the door bracket holds the clip and the bracket onto the door hanger in a friction hold mode. The height of the door may be adjusted by moving the door clips laterally in the slots.
