Abstract
An elevator car assembly (100). The elevator car assembly (100) includes: an elevator car operating panel (106) including a user interface (124) on a front surface (108) and a first connector portion (112) on a rear surface (110); and an elevator cab (102) including a plurality of elevator cab walls (104) including at least one elevator cab wall (104) for mounting the elevator car operating panel (106) thereon, the at least one elevator cab wall (104) including a second connector portion (114). The first connector portion (112) is configured to form a releasable electrical connection with the second connector portion (114).
Claims13
An elevator car assembly (100) comprising:
- an elevator car operating panel (106) comprising a user interface (124) on a front surface (108) and a first connector portion (112) on a rear surface (110);
- and
- an elevator cab (102) comprising a plurality of walls (104) comprising at least one elevator cab wall (104) for mounting the elevator car operating panel (106) thereon, the at least one elevator cab wall (104) comprising a second connector portion (114);
- wherein the first connector portion (112) is configured to form a releasable electrical connection with the second connector portion (114);
- wherein the elevator car operating panel (106) comprises a mechanical coupling (116) configured to releasably couple with a corresponding coupling (118) on the at least one elevator cab wall (104);
- wherein the mechanical coupling (116) comprises a first part of a hinge mechanism, and the corresponding coupling comprises a second part of a hinge mechanism, wherein the first part of the hinge mechanism is configured to cooperate with the second part of the hinge mechanism such that the elevator car operating panel (106) hinges with respect to the at least one elevator cab wall (104).
An elevator cab (102) comprising:
- a plurality of elevator cab walls (104) comprising at least one elevator cab wall (104) for mounting an elevator car operating panel (106) thereon, the at least one elevator cab wall (104) comprising a second connector portion (114);
- wherein the second connector portion (114) is configured to form a releasable electrical connection with a first connector portion (112) provided on a rear surface (110) of the elevator car operating panel (106);
- wherein the elevator car operating panel (106) comprises a mechanical coupling (116) configured to releasably couple with a corresponding coupling (118) on the at least one elevator cab wall (104);
- wherein the mechanical coupling (116) comprises a first part of a hinge mechanism, and the corresponding coupling comprises a second part of a hinge mechanism, wherein the first part of the hinge mechanism is configured to cooperate with the second part of the hinge mechanism such that the elevator car operating panel (106) hinges with respect to the at least one elevator cab wall (104).
An elevator car operating panel (106) comprising:
- a user interface (124) on a front surface (108) of the elevator car operating panel (106) and a first connector portion (112) on a rear surface (110) of the elevator car operating panel (106);
- wherein the first connector portion (112) is configured to form a releasable electrical connection with a second connector portion (114) provided on at least one wall (104) of an elevator cab (102);
- wherein the elevator car operating panel (106) comprises a mechanical coupling (116) configured to releasably couple with a corresponding coupling (118) on the at least one elevator cab wall (104);
- wherein the mechanical coupling (116) comprises a first part of a hinge mechanism, and the corresponding coupling comprises a second part of a hinge mechanism, wherein the first part of the hinge mechanism is configured to cooperate with the second part of the hinge mechanism such that the elevator car operating panel (106) hinges with respect to the at least one elevator cab wall (104).
