Abstract: A cableway system for the transport of persons has one or a plurality of vehicles, such a gondolas, that are moved along a route between stations. En route the vehicles are coupled to a conveying or traction cable. In the stations the vehicles are decoupled from the conveying or traction cable, moved through the station, where they are moved past or halted at one or more embarkation or disembarkation points adjoining an entry or exit region for the passengers, where the passengers board or vacate the vehicles. Then the vehicles are once more coupled to the conveying or traction cable and moved out of the station. In at least one of the stations there is provided a screen or wall between the movement path of the vehicle and the entry or exit region for the passengers. The wall is formed with a passage opening for the passengers at the embarkation or disembarkation point.

Abstract: A roller, in particular track roller or a carrying roller for use in a cableway system is formed with a cylindrical tubular piece that is located radially on the inside, two annular bearings that are located radially outside the tubular piece and at an axial distance from each other, and a roller body that is located radially outside the annular bearings. The roller body is formed of a track ring and two flanged disks located to the sides thereof. The roller includes an annular electric generator which is located within a cavity surrounded by the roller body and the two annular bearings.

Abstract: A cableway system for conveying skiers from a valley station to a mountain station has a continuous, and continuously moving, conveying cable, which is guided in the terminal stations via deflecting pulleys, of which at least one is a driven head wheel. The system includes chairs with seats for several skiers. The chairs are uncoupled from the conveying cable at the entrance into the stations, and guided through the stations, along guide rails, at a speed which is reduced in relation to the speed of the conveying cable, wherein the skiers sit on these chairs, or disembark therefrom, and the chairs are once more coupled to the conveying cable at the exit of the station. Skier-access barriers, are located in the valley station through which the skiers pass into the region of the movement paths of the chairs. A marking is provided in the region of the movement path of the chairs that indicates to the skiers the necessary positions for sitting on the chairs.

Abstract: A cable railway system has two or more stations and at least one carrying cable and a conveying cable extending between the stations and guided in the stations by way of deflection pulleys. At least one of the pulleys is driven. Vehicles, such as cable cars or chairs, may be boarded or disembarked from in the stations by the passengers. The system may also have one or more fixed carrying cables along which the cars are moved by way of one or more hauling cables. At least one device is associated with the vehicles along the section of the cable railway system, by way of which device the pendulum movements that the vehicles are subject to transversely relative to the direction of movement of the vehicles are detectable and its output signals are conducted to a device that controls the drive of the cable railway system. The drive is thereby controllable in dependence on the extent of the pendulum movements.

Abstract: A cable railway system has a valley station and at least one mountain station. Transport vehicles such as cable cars are moved along a carrying and conveying cable and they are uncoupled from the cable in the stations and moved through the stations along a guide rail. The passengers board and disembark from the cable cars in entry and exit areas.

A common entry and exit area for the passengers is associated with the two groups of vehicles and disposed between the two guide paths. Entry and exit doors of the first group of vehicles open on a first side of the same and entry and exit doors of the second group of vehicles open on a second side, such that they face the common entry and exit area.

Abstract: An aerial cableway installation includes transportation devices, such as gondolas or chairs, that can be coupled to the cable and decoupled from the cable in stations of the installation. Guide devices are disposed in the region of the stations on which the decoupled transportation devices can be moved beside the cable. A drive device drives the transportation devices along the guide devices. The drive device can be temporarily deactivated at least in sections so that in this region transportation devices can be stored when the aerial cableway installation is not operating. In order to simplify storage of the transportation devices, and to simplify renewed circulation of the transportation devices, there is provided at least one conveyor device, which at least in some regions is arranged to be parallel beside the transport device, and which can be made to engage and disengage the transportation devices.

Abstract: Transportation devices of an aerial cableway, such as gondolas or chairs, are stored in a storage region, which includes at least one storage rail. By way of a conveyor device the transportation devices are conveyed from the endless cableway region of an aerial cableway station to the storage region and back, and by way of a device on the storage rail said transportation devices are slid along. The sliding device is a motor-driven trolley that can be moved to and fro along the storage rail. The transportation devices are conveyed to the storage rail or storage rails by way of the conveyor device, wherein the transportation devices are pushed further and further along the storage rail by the transportation devices that follow. For transporting the transportation devices back from the storage rail or storage rails, the trolley is used, which, preferably acting upon the last transportation devices stored at the end of the storage track, pushes all the transportation devices to the conveyor device.
