Abstract
An elevator car has one or more sidewalls () defining an interior space () for accommodating passengers; a roof () including a support frame () and a working platform () which is suspendably connected to the support frame (). The working platform moves between a stowed position, above the interior space, and an operational position, within the interior space. The elevator car also includes a blocking member (), located at the support frame (), and arranged to move between an unblocking position and a blocking position. When the blocking member () is in the blocking position, the blocking member is configured to prevent the working platform () from being moved into the stowed position.
