Claim 9:
10. The safety brake (200, 300) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the safety block (210, 310) includes a stopper (255, 355), and wherein the first braking component (250, 350) may further move between the second position (B) and a third position (C);
wherein, when the first braking component (250, 350) is in the third position (C), the first braking surface (270, 370) and the second braking surface (290, 390) define a third separation distance (D3), wherein the third separation distance (D3) is smaller than the second separation distance (D2); and
when the first braking component (250, 350) is in the third position (C) the first braking component (250, 350) engages the stopper (255, 355) such that the separation distance (D3) is at a minimum.
