Abstract: A blondin cableway installation, comprises a pair of carrying cables extending between the two ends of the installation; a carriage provided with a lifting tackle and supported movably on the carrying cables; a lifting cable for operating the lifting tackle, extending between the two ends of the installation; an outward haulage cable for conveying the carriage along the pair of carrying cables, said outward haulage cable being connected via tackle to the carriage so as to have a pair of outward haulage sections which extend between the carriage and each end of the installation; and a plurality of cradles arranged along the pair of carrying cables and suspended from them in a stationary manner and designed to support the lifting cable and outward haulage cable, each of the cradles comprising, on each side, a pair of support rollers able to receive by means of gravity, alternately, the outward haulage cable or the lifting cable, and a corresponding pair of retaining rollers able to bias the lifting cable and ha

Abstract: A device for the automatic connection of a vehicle to the cable of a continuously moving cableway comprises a clamp which is constituted by two jaws, an inner one and an outer one, carried by the upper end of the vehicle suspension system, and which is arranged to close automatically to engage the cable under the action of resilient member and a cam located at each station for automatically and opening the clamp simultaneously loading the resilient member, so as to cause the temporary unhooking of the vehicle from the cable on its arrival at the station and the closure of the clamp on the departure of the vehicle from the station. The outer jaw is carried by an operating lever hinged at one end to a support member and having its other end subject directly to the action of the cam located at each station.

Abstract: A device for controlling the movement of the two doors is housed in a tile-shaped elongate support which is disposed above the doorway and is pivoted about a horizontal axis extending longitudinally of the roof of the car. The tile-shaped support carries centrally an electric motor for rotating two screws which are situated on respective sides of the motor and are threaded in opposite directions. A nut is mounted on each screw to run longitudinally, and has a forked part which engages a draw-bolt carried by the respective door of the doorway. When the tile-shaped support is pivoted upwardly by hand from outside the car, each fork is disengaged from its respective bolt to allow the emergency opening of the doors.
