Abstract
In an elevator car with adjacently arranged wall elements, there are present in the area of adjacent end-faces of the wall elements two joining elements of which one is fixed on a principal surface of a first wall element and one on a principal surface of a second wall element that lies in the same plane. Each of the joining elements also overlaps the principal surface of the wall element on which it is not fixed. One of the joining elements has a diagonal bounding surface and the other joining element has an opposite contour which on alignment of the wall elements slides on the diagonal bounding surface.

An elevator car comprising:
- at least one car wall that includes at least two adjacently arranged wall elements;
- and two joining elements present in an area of adjacent end-faces of the wall elements, one of the joining elements being fixed on a principal surface of a first of the wall elements, and the other of the joining elements being fixed on a principal surface of a second of the wall elements, each of the joining elements being arranged to also overlap the principal surface of the wall element on which the joining element is not fixed, one of the joining elements having a bounding surface that is diagonal relative to a longitudinal direction of the adjacent end-faces of the wall elements and the other of the joining elements having an opposite contour which on mutual alignment of the wall elements slides along the diagonal bounding surface.
A method of installing wall elements of an elevator car, comprising the steps of:
- arranging two joining elements in an area of adjacent end-faces of two adjacently installed wall elements so that one of the joining elements is fixed on a principal surface of a first wall element and the other of the joining element is fixed on a principal surface of a second wall element, and so that each joining element also overlaps the principal surface of the wall element to which the joining element is not fixed, one of the joining elements having a bounding surface that is diagonal to a longitudinal direction of the adjacent end-faces of the wall elements;
- and aligning the wall elements so that the bounding surface acts in conjunction with an opposite contour of the other joining element so that the wall elements are positioned with a gap of defined width between their adjacent end-faces.
An elevator system comprising an elevator car having at least one car wall that includes at least two adjacently arranged wall elements;
- and two joining elements present in an area of adjacent end-faces of the wall elements, one of the joining elements being fixed on a principal surface of a first of the wall elements, and the other of the joining elements being fixed on a principal surface of a second of the wall elements, each of the joining elements being arranged to also overlap the principal surface of the wall element on which the joining element is not fixed, one of the joining elements having a bounding surface that is diagonal relative to a longitudinal direction of the adjacent end-faces of the wall elements and the other of the joining elements having an opposite contour which on mutual alignment of the wall elements slides along the diagonal bounding surface.
