Abstract:
1. A diverting pulley arrangement of an elevator, the diverting pulley arrangement comprising an axle, at least one diverting pulley that rotates while supported on the axle, a faceplate structure on a side of the diverting pulley, in relation to which and supported by which the diverting pulley is arranged to rotate, a locking mechanism supported on the faceplate structure on the side of the diverting pulley for locking the axle so that the axle does not rotate in relation to the faceplate structure, wherein the diverting pulley is arranged to rotate on a first side of the faceplate structure, and the locking mechanism comprises a locking element supported on a second side of the faceplate structure immovably in relation to the faceplate structure, and a positioning mechanism supported on the faceplate structure on the side of the diverting pulley for positioning the axle in relation to the faceplate structure at least in an axial direction, wherein the axle has a main body located on the first side of the faceplate structure and an end portion located on the second side of the faceplate structure, the end portion has a locking indent on the second side of the faceplate structure, the locking indent extends from an axial end of the axle toward the faceplate structure, a radius of a cross section of the end portion at the axial end of the axle where the locking indent is located, and from which the locking indent extends, is smaller than a radius of a cross section of the main body on the first side of the faceplate structure, and the cross section of the end portion and the cross section of the main body are both taken in planes perpendicular to an axial direction, and wherein the locking indent is engaged with the locking element on the second side of the faceplate structure, thereby preventing the axle from rotating in relation to the faceplate structure, wherein the axial end is a terminus of the axle.
