A method and an appliance for collecting rope are provided, in which the rope is arranged to be collected in a collection container. The rope to be collected is pushed into the collection container through a tubular guide element in such a way that the collection container is made to rotate around its axis of rotation by means of the pushing force of the rope.

Method and appliance for collecting rope

The present invention relates to a method and a traction appliance arrangement for replacing the hoisting roping of an elevator, which elevator comprises at least guide rails () along which an elevator car () provided with safety gear () travels in the elevator shaft in an essentially vertical direction, a hoisting machine (), a traction sheave () and roping (). The ropes () of the new roping () and the ropes () of the old roping () are joined to each other by splicing the ropes (and) together at one of their ends and by strengthening the joint by means of compressive sleeves (), after which the new roping () is pulled into position by means of the old roping () and the hoisting machine () of the elevator.

Method for replacing the hoisting roping of an elevator and a traction appliance arrangement used in the replacement

Roping method and apparatus for replacing, installing and/or re-roping the hoisting rope of a traction sheave elevator, said elevator having an elevator car, which is at least partially suspended on a set of hoisting ropes, said set of ropes comprising one or more parallel ropes. The elevator car is moved by means of the ropes. In the method, a rope feed apparatus () acting on the hoisting rope is used to feed a new rope to the elevator and/or to pull out a possible old hoisting rope to make place for the new rope. The rope feed apparatus() comprises at least a base () with at least one feed disc () mounted on it, which feed disc () engages the hoisting rope and to which feed disc () the hoisting rope can be fitted, at least one guide roller () for keeping the hoisting rope in position on the feed disc (), a tightening element () for moving the feed disc () relative to the guide roller () and tightening it in position on the base (), and in addition at least one electric motor () fitted in the apparatus to rotate the feed disc ().

Roping method and apparatus

A method for installing the hoisting roping of an includes at least an elevator car provided with safety gear, the elevator car moving in essentially a vertical direction along guide rails in the elevator shaft, a hoisting machine, a traction sheave, and at least a plurality of diverting pulleys as well as hoisting roping and a rope compensation appliance. In the installation phase the hoisting ropes are lifted into the elevator shaft by means of an auxiliary hoist by moving the elevator car situated in the shaft with the auxiliary hoist, in connection with which elevator car the ends of the hoisting ropes are fixed.
