An installation tool configured to install a machine of an elevator system, including a base section including two legs, each leg including a laterally extending gusset attached thereto. A clamp assembly is supported by the base section and includes a first bracket attached to and positioned over the two legs and a second bracket attached to and positioned over the gussets. A first tube is movably carried by the first bracket and a second tube is movably carried by the second bracket. The first and second tubes are movable in the brackets between a retracted position that positions the machine over the base section and an extended position that positions the machine in a cantilevered position adjacent the retracted position. Each of the first tube and the second tube includes a tube clip that is fixed in position thereon and a first rod is movably disposed in the first tube and a second rod is movably disposed in the second tube, each of the first and second rod including a rod clip sized and shaped to releasably retain the machine on the clamp assembly in cooperation with a respective tube clip.

Methods and apparatuses for installing elevator machines

An implant assembly and a method of assembling the same are provided, the implant assembly including a receiver extending along a central longitudinal axis between a proximal end and an opposite distal end, the receiver including a distal portion defining a receptacle opening at the distal end and a pair of arms extending from the distal portion along the central longitudinal axis on opposite sides of a passage with the passage opening at opposite sides of the receiver, a bone anchor including a distal bone engaging portion and a head at a proximal end of the distal bone engaging portion, the head being positioned in the receptacle with the bone engaging portion in a selected orientation relative to the central longitudinal axis of the receiver and a connector member configured to form a rigid interface between the receiver and the head of the bone anchor thereby providing torque transfer throughout the implant assembly.
