Abstract: An aerial cableway system has an endless, closed load-bearing and conveying cable which, in the terminal stations, is guided over drive or deflection wheels. Transportation devices, such as cabins and chairs, can be fixed to the load-bearing and conveying cable via a suspension bar in each case. A bearing at the lower end of the suspension bar mounts the transportation device such that it can rotate about an at least approximately vertical axis. The bearing is attached to the suspension bar via a damping device.

Abstract: A configuration for checking the clamping force to which the supporting and haulage cable is subjected by the coupling configuration for a transport assembly of a cableway system. The coupling configuration has a clamping lever which is subjected to the action of a spring-energy storage device and on which is mounted an actuating roller which rolls along a running surface of a guide rail. The running surface is formed with an elastically deformable region which is assigned a measuring configuration with which it is possible to measure the deformation of the running surface on account of the compressive force which is produced by the spring-energy storage device, acts on the guide surface via the actuating roller and corresponds to the clamping force. In this case, the measuring configuration is formed by at least two measuring units that function in different ways.

Abstract: A circuit configuration supplies an electric motor with a stator and a rotor. The stator has a large number of electromagnets, arranged in particular in the form of a ring, and the rotor has a large number of permanent magnets that are associated with the electromagnets on the stator and are arranged, in particular, in the form of a ring. A rectifier circuit converts the a.c. voltage which is drawn from the supply network to a d.c. voltage. A converter circuit converts the d.c. voltage to a controllable frequency a.c. voltage for supplying the electric motor with electrical drive energy. An energy storage circuit which contains at least one accumulator is connected between the rectifier circuit and the converter circuit.

Abstract: An aerial cableway system has at least one load-bearing and conveying cable that is moved between a valley station and a mountain station, which is guided over deflection pulleys in the stations, and transportation devices that can be coupled to the load-bearing and conveying cable and that are formed by cabins and by chairs. The cabins and chairs can be uncoupled from the conveying cable in the stations, moved along guide rails through entry and exit regions located in the stations, and then once more coupled to the conveying cable. The entry and exit regions provided in the stations are respectively subdivided into two mutually separate sectors which follow each other in the direction of movement. A first sector is intended for the users of the cabins and a second sector is provided for the users of the chairs.

Abstract: A chair for a cableway system is provided with a closure bar, which can be pivoted into a closed position about a axis running transversely to the direction of travel of the chair. The chair is preferably provided with a number of footrests which correspond to the seats. In a front region of each of the at least one seat there is provided a cam device or protrusion or the like which is coupled in terms of movement to the closure bar. When the closure bar is pivoted into its closed position, the cam device is adjusted to project upwardly centrally at the seat, that is, between the thighs of a person sitting on the respective seat of the chair.

Abstract: Installation for carrying persons down from a mountain station into a valley station along a guide rail which is born by supports or the like at a distance above the ground. Individual sections of the guide rail are connected to one another in an articulated and longitudinally non-displaceable manner, and the guide rail is fastened on at least some of the supports in each case via a link that can be pivoted about a more or less vertical axis.

Abstract: A conveyor belt moves material from a loading station to an unloading station. The belt is formed on its two sides with spaced support rollers that move along a support track. The belt is guided over deflection drums in the loading station and in the unloading station. A turning device turns the conveyor belt through about 180° after the deflection drum in the unloading station, and a turning device turns the conveyor belt back through about 180° in front of the deflection drum of the loading station. Each turning device is formed by a support structure similar to a hollow cylinder with two spiral guides on the inside, along which the support rollers can be moved. The two guides lie approximately diametrically opposite one another and execute an angular rotation of about 180° over the length of the support structure.

Abstract: The roller for a running-gear mechanism or for a roller battery in a cableway system has a roller body formed with a central bore in which a bearing is located. The roller is provided with two flanged disks and a virtually non-elastic annular support for a cable of the cableway system between the disks. One or both of the flanged disks is fastened releasably on the roller body in that the outer circumferential surface of the roller body is formed, in the region of the abutting end surface of said roller body, with at least one encircling groove for a spring ring or the like that holds the removable flanged disk on the roller body. A resilient insert is arranged between the support and at least one of the flanged disks.

Abstract: The conveyor system for transporting goods has a conveyor belt to which transversely oriented supporting beams are attached. The system has two support tracks that are arranged at a vertical distance from one another and are each formed by two supporting cables along which rollers that are arranged at the lateral ends of the supporting beams can be moved. The supporting cables are connected to one another by a plurality of retaining frames.

Abstract: Persons can be carried downhill from a mountain station to a valley station. A guide rail is fastened on a supporting cable at a distance above the ground. The guide rail is formed of a multiplicity of sub-rails and carriages with a chair, a cabin, or the like can be displaced along the rail. The sub-rails are connected to one another such that they can be displaced in the longitudinal direction of the guide rail.

Abstract: The installation enables the downhill transportation of passengers from a higher station to a lower station along a rail. Cars that are guided along the rail are equipped with the first of two interacting elements of an electromagnetic braking device, in particular with one or more permanent magnets, and the guide rail being equipped with the second elements, in particular braking strips made from an electrically conductive nonmagnetizable material, such as copper or aluminum, which interact with said first elements of the braking device. Each car is equipped with one or more first elements with an operating brake that is adjustable as a function of its load, and with one or more first elements of a safety brake that is activatable during downhill travel.

Abstract: A running-gear mechanism for the transport assembly of a cableway system has running rollers that roll in guide rails while the coupling assembly is uncoupled from the haulage cable. In the region of the running rollers there is provided at least one downwardly projecting continuation which projects into the guide rails.

Abstract: A chair for a cableway system has a load-bearing framework on which seat surfaces are fastened, a load-bearing bar with a top end at which a clamping apparatus for coupling to a supporting and haulage cable and running rollers are attached. Side panels or the like are disposed at the two lateral ends of the chair. A closure bar and, if appropriate, a covering hood, can be pivoted about spindles which are aligned at least approximately horizontally in the operating position of the chair. The closure bar and/or the covering hood can be pivoted from the open positions into the closed positions counter to the action of at least one adjusting spring. At least one of the side panels or the like is formed with a cavity in which at least one adjusting spring is arranged.
