Abstract:
1. A connection system for elevator guides along which an elevator car travels, wherein the system includes two elevator guides to be connected end to end, the guides having confrontingly opposed front surfaces, and each of the guides having a stem, by which the elevator car is guided, side wings and a longitudinal axis, wherein said stem extends from, and is bordered by, the side wings; the front surfaces are machined to a finish whereby said front surfaces form a 90° angle with the longitudinal axis of the each of the guides, said finish further enabling the wings of the two guides to be connected and coincide fully with each other when the wings of the two guides contact each other over an entire area of the front surfaces such that the longitudinal axes of the two guides are aligned; wherein, further, each wing forms through-holes; a connection plate forms through-holes for correspondence with the holes of the wings; and means of retention for lodging in said holes of the guides and of the plate; wherein the holes of the wings and the holes of the connection plate face each other in pairs when the wings and the plate are mated for shared acceptance of said means of retention, and axes of at least some of the pairs are separated from each other by a distance in a direction of the longitudinal axis of the guides so that by mounting the means of retention in the at least some of the pairs, the confrontingly opposed front surfaces are pressed against each other in the direction of the longitudinal axis, whereby a pressure of alignment is created between the two guides solely along said opposing front surfaces.
