Abstract: An elevator car consists of a floor, side walls, a back wall and a roof which are each constructed in a modular manner from a plurality of panels and which can be held together by means of connecting elements. The floor is formed from, in total, eight floor panels. The threshold is connected with the floor panels. The side walls each consist of ten wall panels. The back wall consists of eight wall panels and the roof consists of six roof panels. On site, the elevator car can be constructed in a short assembly time by means of plug connections and with a few screw connections. The panel mode of construction enables a low-volume transport of the elevator car to the construction site directly from the punching and changing machine.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for controlling an elevator is equipped with a deck-distance drive machine which by reference to positional information adjusts the distances between the individual cars in a common car sling in such a way that each car can stop at the corresponding floor accurately, i.e. without forming a step. Measured values of floor position are stored in memories and periodically updated so as to detect any changes such as, for example, building settlement. Based on this data the necessary deck-distances are calculated which are necessary for all the cars to stop without any of them forming a step. Furthermore, the method and the device can be correspondingly extended for a multi-decker elevator and for any type of control (conventional control, destination call control, etc.).
