  • Patent number: 10427911
    Abstract: A damper unit for an elevator for reducing vertical vibrations of an elevator car of the elevator during a standstill includes a stamp-like acting element that acts on an end-face guide surface of a guide rail. The acting element is spaced from the guide rail in an idle position and can be connected slip-free to the guide rail by an eccentric drive in an active position. Force transmitting elements containing a shock damper for damping the motions of the elevator car during a standstill of the car adjoin the acting element.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10207897
    Abstract: A sliding guide shoe for an elevator includes a two-part insert that can be inserted into a guide shoe housing for guiding an elevator car along a guide rail. The insert has a carrier element with a recess which is designed as a receiving pocket for receiving a sliding element so that the sliding element can be introduced into the carrier element in a longitudinal direction and then latched in the carrier element.

  • Patent number: 9731937
    Abstract: An adjustable roller-guide shoe for guiding an elevator car or a counterweight of an elevator installation contains a roller carrier, which can be fastened on the car or the counterweight, a guide roller and a roller spindle, which is arranged in the roller carrier and accommodates the guide roller. The roller spindle is positioned in the roller carrier by an adapter having an installation contour which matches a corresponding accommodating contour of the roller carrier. The adapter is configured to be fixed in different installation positions in relation to the roller carrier, and thus the roller spindle can be placed in different positions in the roller carrier, depending on the installation position of the adapter. It is thus possible for the roller-guide shoe to be operated with different roller diameters or to be adapted to different rail-web dimensions.
