The object of the invention is a method in the installation of an elevator, said elevator being provided with an elevator car traveling in a controlled manner along guide rails in an elevator hoistway, for determining the disposal location of the hoistway components to be disposed in the elevator hoistway and/or the landing doors of the elevator. The disposal location of the hoistway components and/or of the landing doors of the elevator is determined in relation to the guide rails of the elevator car by copying the disposal location at different heights in the elevator hoistway mechanically by means of a tool, in which tool the disposal locations according to plan of the hoistway components are arranged to remain fixed for essentially at least the whole period of the aforementioned determination of the disposal locations of the hoistway components of the elevator hoistway and/or of the landing doors of the elevator. The object of the invention is also a tool to be used in the method.

Method in the installation of an elevator and tool for use in the method

The invention relates to a method and apparatus for adjusting landing door rollers in an elevator comprising at least an elevator car having at least a car door, a door operating assembly and a landing door coupler with its two vanes, and the elevator comprising an elevator shaft equipped with a landing door at each landing level. For adjusting the landing door rollers the mutual horizontal distance of the vanes of the landing door coupler is copied mechanically into the location further up in the elevator car than the location of the vanes.

Method and apparatus for adjusting landing door rollers

A toe guard () for an elevator car (), said toe guard comprising a movable panel (). The panel () comprises a first panel part () which, being guided and supported by guide tracks (), is movable substantially between a drawn-out position on a landing floor and a stowed-away position under the car. In addition, the panel comprises a second panel part () which, guided by the first panel part (), is telescopically movable between a retracted extreme position where the first and second panel parts are disposed in a mutually nested and/or superposed relationship, and an extended extreme position where the first and second panel parts are disposed substantially in a mutually adjacent relationship. When the toe guard is moved from the stowaway position into the operative position, it assumes steplessly a suitable length between the aforesaid retracted extreme position and the aforesaid extended extreme position, depending in each case on the height position (h) of the elevator car () having stopped between floors relative to the landing floor ().
