Abstract

Foldable guide rail tracks in elevator systems having first and second rail sections each having a base and a blade and a rail connector rotatably connecting the first rail section and the second railsection. The rail connector has a first securing plate fixedly attached to the first rail section, a second securing plate fixedly attached to the second rail section, and a pivot rotatably connecting the first securing plate to the second securing plate. The first rail section is rotatable about the pivot relative to the second rail section from a folded state to an unfolded state, and, when inthe unfolded state, the first base and first blade of the first rail section aligns with the second base and second blade of the second rail section to form at least a portion of a guide rail track.

Description

Background technique [0001] The subject matter disclosed herein relates generally to elevator systems, and more particularly to collapsible guide rail tracks. [0002] Current elevator systems use one type of guide rail to form the guide rail upon which the elevator car and / or counterweight may travel. Installation of rails can be a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. For example, longer guide rail track sections may require multiple installers or mechanics to properly install in an elevator shaft. Accordingly, improved installation techniques for elevator guide rail tracks may be desirable. Contents of the invention [0003] According to some embodiments, a collapsible guide rail track for an elevator system is provided. The collapsible rail track includes a first rail section having a first base and a first blade, a second rail section having a second base and a second blade, and a rail connection rotatably connecting the first rail section and the second rail s...
