  • Patent number: 11505215
    Abstract: A system and method to ensure a sufficient amount of electrical energy is supplied to a cable-drawn vehicle of a transportation device. Electrical loads of the vehicle are supplied with power outside a station by an electrical energy store of the vehicle or by both an electrical energy store and the generator during a first movement phase, in which the vehicle is accelerated to a limit speed or, conversely, decelerated from a limit speed into a station. In a subsequent second movement phase, the vehicle is supplied with electrical energy by the generator while the vehicle moves at a speed that is greater than the limit speed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 30, 2018
    Date of Patent: November 22, 2022

  • Patent number: 8375866
    Abstract: A system for conveying persons has a track along which a plurality of vehicles may be moved by way of continuous conveying cables. The cables include at least two mutually successive conveying cables each having a drive for driving them independently of one another. The vehicles may be coupled to the cables by clamping devices and the cables overlap one another in mutually associated end regions. The coupling of the vehicles may be transferred from a first conveying cable to a successive conveying cable in the overlap region. In those regions in which a first conveying cable is adjoined by a further conveying cable, that is, in the overlap region, at least one servo device is provided which allows the cable run of the further conveying cable to which the vehicle is to be coupled to be moved into the clamping device of the vehicle, while the clamping device is in the open position.
