The invention relates to an elevator car comprising a car spoiler at its top and/or bottom, which car spoiler comprises at least one spoiler component having at least one curved spoiler element, characterized in that the spoiler component is made of a sandwich material of an outer flat material layer connected to at least one inner structured material layer.

Elevator car with spoiler component having at least one curved spoiler element

Example embodiments relate to an elevator car, including a car spoiler at its top and/or bottom thereof, a car sling with a horizontal frame part on which at least one elevator cabin is supported, and at least one vertically extending spoiler element is located aside of the horizontal frame part. The spoiler element may have upper and lower flange portions, at least one of the upper and lower flanges being connected with elevator car parts located above and/or below of the frame part, and a vertically extending middle portion. The spoiler element may be arranged a distance from the frame part. An elevator car having this arrangement may reduce noise and provide better efficiency.

Elevator car

An elevator includes at least one elevator car driving in an elevator shaft driven by an elevator drive. The elevator car has at least one car door and a door sill at the bottom of the car door, which door sill includes at least one groove, in which the car door is guided, in which groove at least one trash hole is located to prevent trash from accumulating in the groove, whereby the elevator car further includes a toe guard which extends downwards from the door sill. The trash hole is connected with a first upper end of an air channel extending downwards from the door sill and includes at least one channel portion extending with a direction component in a horizontal direction and/or having an opening directed sideward, which air channel is connected with the toe guard. The elevator leads to a reduced noise generation in the region of the door sill, particularly in elevator cars traveling with a high speed.
