ABSTRACT:
A guide device guides a load carrier of an elevator installation along a guide surface and comprises a guide element contacting the guide surface and connected by a connecting element with the load carrier such that the guide element is movable relative to the load carrier in a first and/or a second positional range. The connecting element comprises first and second resilient elements in a serial arrangement, wherein movement of the guide element in the first range deforms both resilient elements and movement of the guide element in the second range exclusively deforms the second resilient element. The overall stiffness of the connecting element is a function of the respective position of the guide element. Stiffness of the second resilient element increases during compression in the second range, wherein the overall stiffness is substantially constant at a transition between the first and the second ranges.
