Abstract
An auxiliary device for displacing a payload receptacle, which stands outside a station, into one of the stations. The auxiliary device includes a temporarily activatable brake release device for releasing the braking device and an auxiliary drive device for displacing the payload receptacle when the brake release device is activated. The brake release device and the auxiliary drive device are arranged in the uppermost region of the elevator shaft and are actuable by way of a crank rod linkage. The crank rod linkage includes a lower actuating end, which can be brought from a rest setting into a working setting. The crank rod linkage is coupled with a rod linkage extension, the vertical effective length of which corresponds with at least the vertical spacing of the walk areas of two adjacent stations.
