Abstract

A method for installing a component of an elevator system having an elevator shaft involves the steps of: mounting a positioning frame in the elevator shaft in relation to a wall of the elevator shaft; attaching a guide line in the elevator shaft separately from the positioning frame; aligning the guide line using the positioning frame; and aligning the component using the aligned guide line. A device for carrying out the method includes the guide line, the positioning frame having positioning aids for the guide line and an adjustable fastener for attaching the guide line in the elevator shaft.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method of installing a component of an elevator installation having an elevator shaft, the method comprising the steps of:
aligning and fixing a positioning frame in the elevator shaft with respect to a wall of the elevator shaft, which wall bounds the elevator shaft;
fixing a guide line in the elevator shaft separately from the positioning frame, where the elevator shaft has a plurality of shaft door openings and wherein the positioning frame and the guide line are fixed above a lowermost one of the shaft door openings and below an uppermost one of the shaft door openings in the elevator shaft;
aligning the guide line in the elevator shaft using the positioning frame; and
aligning the component using the aligned guide line.

2. The method according to claim 1 including fixing the guide line in the elevator shaft with a fastening means and wherein a section of the guide line between the fastening means and the positioning frame is unaligned with a remainder of the guide line.

3. The method according to claim 2 wherein the fastening means is configured to enable the guide line to be loaded with a tensioning force of at least 300 N.

4. The method according to claim 2 wherein the fastening means includes a base and an arm pivotable at the base, the arm being pivoted to align the guide line with respect to a positioning aid of the positioning frame.

5. The method according to claim 1 wherein a first end of the guide line is fixed to the wall of the elevator shaft.

6. The method according to claim 1 wherein a section of the guide line adapted for alignment of the component is arranged above the positioning frame.

7. The method according to claim 1 wherein an end of the guide line is fixed to a shaft ceiling of the elevator shaft or to a shaft floor of the elevator shaft.

8. The method according to claim 1 wherein the guide line is adapted for aligning a guide rail in the elevator shaft for guidance of an elevator car of the elevator installation or for guidance of a counterweight of the elevator installation.

9. A device for aligning a component of an elevator installation while installing the component, comprising:
a positioning frame adapted to be fixed in an elevator shaft of the elevator installation with respect to a wall that bounds the elevator shaft; and
a guide line adapted to be fixed in the elevator shaft separately from the positioning frame, wherein the elevator shaft has a plurality of shaft door openings and wherein the positioning frame and the guide line are fixed above a lowermost one of the shaft door openings and below an uppermost one of the shaft door openings in the elevator shaft, and wherein when the positioning frame and the guide line are fixed in the elevator shaft, the positioning frame aligns the guide line in the elevator shaft.

10. The device according to claim 9 including a fastening means fixing the guide line in the elevator shaft, the fastening means including a base and an arm pivotable at the base, the arm being pivoted to align the guide line with respect to a positioning aid of the positioning frame.

11. A method of installing a component of an elevator installation having an elevator shaft, the method comprising the steps of:
aligning and fixing a positioning frame in the elevator shaft with respect to a wall of the elevator shaft, which wall bounds the elevator shaft;
fixing a guide line in the elevator shaft separately from the positioning frame using a fastening means which includes a base and an arm pivotable at the base;
aligning the guide line in the elevator shaft by pivoting the arm to align the guide line with respect to a positioning aid of the positioning frame, wherein a section of the guide line between the fastening means and the positioning frame is unaligned with a remainder of the guide line; and
aligning the component using the aligned guide line.

12. A device for aligning a component of an elevator installation while installing the component, comprising:
a positioning frame adapted to be fixed in an elevator shaft of the elevator installation with respect to a wall that bounds the elevator shaft;
a guide line adapted to be fixed in the elevator shaft separately from the positioning frame; and
a fastening means fixing the guide line in the elevator shaft, the fastening means including a base and an arm pivotable at the base, the arm being pivoted to align the guide line in the elevator shaft with respect to a positioning aid of the positioning frame.
