ELEVATOR ARRANGEMENT AND METHOD

摘要

Elevator arrangement, which comprises an elevator hoistway (1), an elevator car (2), and a movable supporting platform (3) for supporting the elevator components in the elevator hoistway, which supporting platform (3) comprises a supporting frame (4), which comprises a plurality of support elements (8a, 8b), each of which can be moved in the lateral direction into a position extended from the platform and back towards the platform into a retracted position, supported on which support elements in their extended position the frame of the supporting platform can be lowered to rest on top of the wall structures of the elevator hoistway, for the vertical supporting of the supporting platform in the elevator hoistway, and when in the retracted position of which support elements the supporting platform (3) can be moved in the vertical direction in the elevator hoistway without being obstructed by the support elements, and which plurality of support elements comprises support elements (8a, 8b) that can be moved in opposite lateral directions (D1 and D2) to each other into the extended position, in which elevator arrangement there is a floor landing (L) on a side of the supporting frame (4). The frame (4) of the supporting platform (3) comprises operating means (A) on its floor landing (L) side, using which operating means the support 'elements (8a, 8b) that can be moved in opposite lateral directions (D1 and D2) to each other into the extended position are arranged to be transferred into the extended position and/or into the retracted position. In the method the support elements (8a, 8b) are moved into the extended position and/or into the retracted position from a floor landing (L) on a side of the supporting frame (4).
