Abstract: The invention relates to a method for installing one or more ropes of an elevator, wherein a pulley of a pulley arrangement is roped, which pulley arrangement comprises a pulley having a shaft for mounting it rotatably on a support frame, the shaft having a first end and a second end; and a support frame having a first supporting wall and a second supporting wall spaced apart and having a pulley space between them, in which pulley space the pulley is mounted, the first end of the shaft extending into a first opening of the first supporting wall, and the second end of the shaft extending into a second opening of the second supporting wall. In which method one or more ropes is/are guided to pass around said pulley.

Abstract: Equipment is provided for joining elevator guide rails, for connecting consecutive guide rails of an elevator to each other, which equipment includes a fish plate, which fish plate is an elongated angle plate profile piece including a plurality of plate sections that are beside each other and in the length direction of the fish plate, and longitudinal bends between the plate sections that are beside each other, and which plate section plurality including a planar support plate section, against which support plate section the rear sides of the ends of consecutive guide rails can be supported to lean, and which plate section plurality also includes stiffening plate sections bent away from the plane of the support plate section. A joint arrangement is provided for the guide rails of an elevator and an elevator, in which arrangement and elevator the joining equipment is used.
