Elevator installation with a speed limiter

A speed limiter for an elevator installation comprising:

• a stand;
• a wheel rotatably mounted on the stand and driven in rotation by movement of an associated elevator car;
• a mass body pivotally mounted on the stand in contact with the wheel, the mass body being pivoted out from the wheel when a predetermined rotational speed of the wheel is reached;
• a switching vane pivotally mounted on the mass body, the switching vane being pivoted from a neutral pivot setting to a switching position by the pivoting of the mass body when the predetermined rotational speed of the wheel is reached;
• a switch actuated by pivotation of the switching vane to the switching position;
• and
• an actuating device for pivoting the mass body and the switching vane,
• wherein the actuating device moves the switching vane into the neutral pivot setting from the switching position with a predetermined force so that pivotation of the switching vane occurs when the mass body is pivoted out,
• wherein the actuating device is actuatable to pivot out the mass body together with pivoting the switching vane to the switching position against the predetermined force when the wheel is rotating at less than the predetermined rotational speed, and
• wherein the actuating device upon a further actuation when the mass body is pivoted out moves the switching vane switching vane back into the neutral pivot setting when the wheel is stationary.
