An elevator arrangement, comprising an elevator car arranged to move in an elevator shaft or equivalent, preferably along car guide rails, and an element which is disposed in the elevator shaft or equivalent and is shiftable between an activated state and an inactivated state, and an activating device for shifting the said element between the activated and inactivated states. The activating device includes a flexible element, such as e.g. a rope or equivalent, movably attached to a fixed structure of the elevator shaft or equivalent, and the said flexible element is connected to the said shiftable element in a manner permitting the shiftable element to be shifted by means of the flexible element.

Elevator arrangement and method in elevator maintenance

An elevator, comprising an elevator car (), car guide rails () on one side of the elevator car (), an elevator shaft or equivalent (), at least one stop block () attached to the car guide rails () or to the elevator shaft or equivalent (), at least two movable stop blocks () attached to the elevator car (), the latter stop blocks () being arranged to be moved transversely relative to the elevator shaft direction into a position aligned with at least one stop block () attached to the car guide rails () or elevator shaft or equivalent () and away from said position aligned with said stop block (). The aforesaid at least two movable stop blocks () attached to the elevator car are connected to each other by a horizontal shaft () oriented substantially in a direction parallel with the wall of the elevator car () on the side of the car guide rails () to synchronize the motion of the movable stop blocks ().
