Abstract: An apparatus for actuating a safety gear of an elevator includes a first stage actuation mechanism; and a second stage actuation mechanism. The second stage actuation mechanism includes a wedge arrangement configured to grip a guiderail associated with the elevator when the first stage actuation mechanism is triggered; a casing including the wedge arrangement and configured for vertical linear movement along the guiderail; and a transmission member coupled to the casing from a first end and to the safety gear from a second end. The apparatus is configured to cause the safety gear to actuate when the first stage actuation mechanism is triggered, the first stage actuation mechanism causing the wedge arrangement of the second stage actuation mechanism to grip the guiderail of the elevator and to decelerate vertical movement of the casing in relation to the guiderail, the deceleration of the casing causing the transmission member to engage the safety gear to the guiderail to stop the elevator.

Abstract: In the technical field of elevator systems, so as to provide a measure for preventing an overspeed governor rope inertia from unwantedly engaging a safety gear in an overspeed governor system, which has a governor rope connected to a moving mass of the elevator system, a machinery brake for decelerating the moving mass so as to perform a quick stop of the moving mass, a safety gear mounted to the moving mass, a synchronization linkage for tripping the safety gear and a synchronization linkage blocking device for blocking the synchronization linkage and/or a governor brake for braking the governor rope, it is determined whether a quick stop of the moving mass is performed, and the governor brake or the synchronization linkage blocking device is activated when the quick stop of the moving mass is performed.
