PROCEDURE FOR MOVING THE LANDING DOOR OF AN ELEVATOR, AND A DOOR COUPLER

摘要

The landing door of an elevator is opened by the opening movement of the car door and closed by the closing movement of the car door by using a door coupler (20) attached to the car door. The door coupler has coupling elements (52, 53) designed to engage a counterpart (6) attached to the landing door. The door coupler (20) is moved in the direction of the car door movement to align it with the counter element (6). After the door coupler (20) has been aligned, its motion relative to the car door is prevented by means of a blocking device (28).
