The present invention relates to an
elevator cage top guardrail which is provided with a folding side edge (13) that is hinged to the supporting framework (5) on the cage top (3), and the guardrail includes the following components: two side edges (13) which can be inward folded to at least two parts as the accordion, and is perpendicular to the flat base door opening (9) of the
elevator shaft and is hinged to the base part of the supporting framework (5), an upper back side lever (17) which is connected with the back upper end of each folding side edge (13), the length of which is approximately same to the depth of the
elevator cage and is hinged or next to the actuating
handle (19) at the back middle part of the supporting framework (5), the upper back side lever is perpendicular to the flat base door opening (9) of the shaft, wherein the actuating
handle (19) is connected with at least a lever which is hinged in the
middle plane and the upper back side lever (17), and comprises a side lever of the bottom
ball joint which is connected at the back side of each folding side edge (13), the device is characterized in that the actuating
handle (19) can be lifted from a lower and basic horizontal guardrail folding position through the flat base door opening (9) to a locked basic perpendicular top position, at the same time drag the two folding side edges (13) and cause the folding side edges perpendicularly erected, and forms an upper back side lever (17) which actualizes locking and a back connecting lever (35, 39) on the side edge (13) to form the third side edge of the guardrail, and on the contrary, the handle can be taken from the upper position to the lower position, wherein the movable actuating handle (19) leads to the simultaneous folding of the tow folding side edges (13) of the guardrail and thereby shrinking the guardrail itself at the cage top (3) to form a small height.
