20140014444 | CALL-GIVING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR GIVING AN ELEVATOR CALL - The invention relates to a call-giving device and to a method for giving an elevator call. In the method a gesture to be performed in an area detecting a touch on the call-giving device is detected. | 01-16-2014 |
20140291074 | ELEVATOR ARRANGEMENT AND METHOD FOR RE-ADJUSTING THE ELEVATOR ARRANGEMENT - An elevator arrangement includes a plurality of elevators in a building, which plurality includes a plurality of zoned elevators moving in an elevator hoistway, which have different ranges of movement of the elevator car in the building to each other, and which zoned elevators each have a top limit and a bottom limit of the range of movement of the elevator car, to above the top limit and to below the bottom limit of which range of movement travel of the elevator car of the zoned elevator in question is prevented. The vertical location, in relation to the building, of the top limit and/or bottom limit of the range of movement of the elevator car of each aforementioned zoned elevator can be changed. The arrangement also comprises a lobby elevator, the range of movement of the elevator car of which differs from the ranges of movement of the elevator cars of the aforementioned zoned elevators, and the stopping floors of the lobby elevator comprise a plurality of lobby floors, each of which is a stopping floor of one or more zoned elevators belonging to the aforementioned zoned elevator plurality. A method is provided for re-adjusting the elevator arrangement, wherein the range of movement of the elevator car of the zoned elevator in question is changed to reach to a different height in the elevator hoistway by changing the vertical location in relation to the building of the top limit and/or the bottom limit of the range of movement of the elevator car of the zoned elevator in question. | 10-02-2014 |
20150266702 | ELEVATOR - An elevator includes a hoistway, and an elevator car and a counterweight vertically movable in the hoistway. The elevator includes at least one first stationary mounted rope wheel positioned in proximity of the upper end of the hoistway, and at least one second stationary mounted rope wheel positioned in proximity of the upper end of the hoistway, the at least one first stationary mounted rope wheel and the at least one second stationary mounted rope wheel being horizontally spaced apart and rotating on different vertical planes of rotation, and a roping, including at least one belt-shaped rope interconnecting the elevator car and counterweight and including a rope portion extending between the car and counterweight, which passes around the at least one first stationary mounted rope wheel and around the at least one second stationary mounted rope wheel, and at least one intermediate stationary mounted rope wheel, positioned at a distance apart from the at least one first rope wheel and the at least one second rope wheel to rotate on a plane of rotation that intersects the plane of rotation of the at least one first rope wheel and the plane of rotation of the at least one second rope wheel, and arranged to guide the portion of the rope extending between the at least one first rope wheel and the at least one second rope wheel to pass from the plane of rotation of the at least one first wheel to the plane of rotation of the at least one second wheel along the plane of rotation of the at least one intermediate stationary mounted rope wheel. | 09-24-2015 |
