Abstract: Equipment for temporarily coupling an elevator car door leaf with a shaft door leaf and for actuating a car door lock includes a coupling mechanism arranged at the car door leaf with two entraining runners mounted on two pivotable adjusting elements. The spacing between the entraining runners can be adjusted by pivoting of the adjusting elements between an uncoupling setting and a coupling setting, wherein the entraining runners in the coupling setting co-operate with at least one coupling element mounted at the shaft door leaf. One of the entraining runners is coupled by way of a respective articulation member with one arm of each of the two adjusting elements, wherein a contact force arising between the entraining runner and the corresponding coupling element in the coupling setting causes the entraining runner to execute an additional movement which is guided by the articulation members to unlock the car door lock.

Abstract: An elevator door drive device, which opens and closes at least one car door leaf and a corresponding shaft door leaf, includes a coupling mechanism mounted at the car door leaf for transmitting the car door leaf movement to the shaft door leaf with two parallel entraining runners mounted on pivotable adjusting elements. The spacing between the runners is adjustable and a drive unit transmits closing and opening movements to the car door leaf by way of a drive apparatus that leads the entraining runners to a coupling element at the shaft door leaf before the start of the opening movement and moves them away from the coupling element after the end of the closing movement. The pivotable adjusting elements, during opening or closing the door leaf are blocked by means of a catch acting in both pivot directions.
