Elevator car with foldable working platform

An elevator car (1) defining an interior space (2) for accommodating passengers and/or cargo, the elevator car (1) comprising:

• a support frame (4) positioned above the interior space (2);
• a working platform (6) moveable between a stowed position, above the interior space (2), and an operational position, within the interior space (2);
• and
• at least one extendable suspension arrangement (8a, 8b) arranged to suspend the working platform (6) from the support frame (4), the extendable suspension arrangement (8a, 8b) comprising:
• a connection plate (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d);
• a first arm member (12a, 12b, 12c, 12d) connected at a first end (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d) to the support frame (4) and slidably connected to a first connection point (16a, 16b, 16c, 16d) of the connection plate (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d);
• a second arm member (14a, 14b, 14c, 14d) connected at another first end (5a, 5b, 5c, 5d) to the working platform (6) and slidably connected to a second connection point (18a, 18b, 18c, 18d) of the connection plate (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d);
• wherein the first arm member (12a, 12b, 12c, 12d) and the second arm member (14a, 14b, 14c, 14d) are configured to slide parallel to each other, along a sliding direction (13a), in order to extend the extendable suspension arrangement (8a, 8b) when the working platform (6) moves between the stowed position and the operational position, and wherein the first connection point (16a, 16b, 16c, 16d) and the second connection point (18a, 18b, 18c, 18d) have an offset (17a) from one another at least in a direction perpendicular to the sliding direction (13a).
