Abstract

A device for generating shaft data in an elevator installation includes an information transmitter and a mount. The mount has a first limb, a back and a second limb, the first limb has a first section and a second section and the second limb includes elements for receiving the information transmitter. The second section of the first limb lies, in a use state, substantially between the first section of the first limb and the second limb.

Claims

1. An elevator installation component comprising:

an information transmitter; and

a mount, the mount comprising a first limb, a back and a second limb, the first limb comprising a first section and a second section, the second limb comprising elements for receiving the information transmitter, the second section of the first limb being substantially positionable between the first section of the first limb and the second limb.

2. The elevator installation component of claim 1, the first limb comprising a bending section positioned between the first section and the second section, the second section being connected with the first section and bendable relative to the first section.

3. The elevator installation component of claim 1, the information transmitter comprising a magnet.

4. The elevator installation component of claim 1, further comprising a spring arranged between the first section and the second section, the spring urging the second section against the second limb.

5. The elevator installation component of claim 4, the first section and the second section comprising respective spring retaining elements, the respective spring retaining elements being configured to keep the spring in a predefined position relative to the first section and the second section.

6. The elevator installation component of claim 4, the spring having a spring constant between 2 N/mm and 30 N/mm.

7. The elevator installation component of claim 1, the second limb comprising a first arm and a second arm, the first and second arms being arranged substantially parallel to each other, the first and second arms being further arranged such that the information transmitter can be positioned between the first and second arms.

8. The elevator installation component of claim 7, the second section of the first limb being pivotable between the first and second arms of the second limb.

9. The elevator installation component of claim 8, the second section comprising laterally arranged detent elements, the laterally arranged detent elements being configured to maintain the second section substantially between the first section and the second limb.

10. The elevator installation component of claim 1, the mount being at least partially injection-molded.

11. The elevator installation component of claim 1, the mount being formed at least partly of polypropylene.

12. The elevator installation component of claim 1, the component being configured to be clamped to an object having a thickness between 2 mm and 10 mm.

13. The elevator installation component of claim 1, the information transmitter being a first information transmitter, the mount further comprising a third limb, the third limb comprising one or more elements for receiving a second information transmitter.

14. The elevator installation component of claim 13, the third limb and the second limb being positioned at substantially the same height at the back, the first information transmitter being coupled to the second limb and the second information transmitter being coupled to the third limb, the first information transmitter and the second information transmitter being arranged substantially adjacent to each other, the back being substantially in a plane between the first information transmitter and the second information transmitter.

15. An elevator installation, comprising:

a guide rail, the guide rail comprising a mounting limb; and

an elevator installation component, comprising,

an information transmitter, and

a mount coupled to the mounting limb, the mount comprising a first limb, a back and a second limb, the first limb comprising a first section and a second section, the second limb comprising elements for receiving the information transmitter, the second section of the first limb being substantially positionable between the first section of the first limb and the second limb.

16. The elevator installation of claim 15, the elevator installation component being one of a plurality of elevator installation components, the plurality of elevator installation components being arranged across a plurality of stories.
