Abstract: A method for filtering out foreign particles from a cooling lubricant used in a process of machining a workpiece includes providing an inherently stable, flow-porous filter element. The filter element comprises a porous main body made of joined plastics particles and having an afflux surface and a porous coating on the afflux surface for surface filtration. The porous coating first component particles and/or fibres, second component anti-adhesion particles to mitigate the adhesion of filtered out material to the porous coating and to facilitate cleaning of the filter element, with the first component particles and/or fibres and the second component particles being mixed in the porous coating, a solidified inorganic binder, and a set adhesive. The solidified inorganic binder and the set adhesive bind the first component particles and/or fibres and the second component particles to each other and to the porous main body.

Abstract: A clamping device for coupling a transport device, for example a cabin, gondola, or a chair, to the hauling or traction cable of a cableway system. The clamping device contains two clamping jaws that can be moved toward one another or apart for coupling the clamping device to and uncoupling it from the hauling or traction cable. Exchangeable jaws, via which the clamping jaws act on the hauling or traction cable, are fastened to the clamping jaws. A bearing surface on the clamping jaws for the exchangeable jaws is curved concavely, and a counter surface on the exchangeable jaws has a corresponding curvature.

Abstract: A amusement ride has a positionally fixed supporting structure on which transport devices for persons circulate. A rope drive conveys the transport devices about the supporting structure. The rope drive has one single closed-loop conveying rope which, in being crossed over by way of a deflecting device, forms two rope loops which engage on the transport devices.

Abstract: A cable car system has two pairs of supporting cables that are respectively anchored in a valley station and in a mountain station. Cabins or similar people movers travel along the supporting cables while they are coupled to a self-contained traction cable. The cabins can be decoupled from the traction cable, to be moved in the stations along guide rails. The self-contained traction cable is formed with two loops, forming two strands in each case which are moved in the same direction and to which the cabins can be coupled.

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: 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 running roller for the traveling-gear mechanism of the transport assembly of a cableway system has a pulley-type roller body. The roller body is produced from a metal, in particular from steel, and it is provided along the periphery of the roller body with a running surface which encloses the roller body and which is produced from a plastic material.

Abstract: The installation conveys passengers along a self-contained track which extends between two end stations and has at least one intermediate station between the end stations. Traveling devices, such as cablecars or carriages can be moved along the track by a self-contained traction cable which are guided in the end stations about drive pulleys and deflecting pulleys. The traveling devices are moved through the stations at such a speed that passengers can embark and disembark. The intermediate station is situated at an equal distance from the respectively adjacent stations, the traveling devices, which are optionally arranged in groups, are coupled onto the traction cable at a spacing distance equal to twice the distance between the stations. Subsections of the track allow the traveling devices to move in opposite directions only in the stations.

Abstract: Persons and/or goods are transported in a plurality of vehicles with runn wheels rolling on a track, such as on rails. A continuously moving, endless traction cable drives the vehicles on the track, and a clamping assembly selectively disconnects the vehicles from and connects the vehicles to the traction cable. The vehicles are disconnected from the traction cable in boarding stations, where deceleration wheels and acceleration wheels come into contact with a contact surface on the underside of the vehicles. The deceleration wheels and acceleration wheels rotate about substantially horizontal axes and they decelerate and accelerate the vehicles, respectively, upon being brought into contact with the contact surface. The deceleration and acceleration wheels are rotatably supported on a free end of swivel arms which are pivotally supported about an axis which extends substantially horizontally and substantially parallel to the track.

Abstract: A cable conveyance having a storage region for garaging the carriers which an be decoupled from the transport cable. The carriers are displaced along a transport rail to the storage regions by a reversible drive and are permitted to move by gravity along storage rails into this region or by positively tilting these storage rails back to the transport rail to return to the cable. Thus within the storage region the displacement of the carriers is by gravity only and there is no need to provide a special drive for entrainment of the carriers along the storage rails.

Abstract: A cable conveyance has devices for decoupling the passenger carriers from e cable at an upstream side of a station, a device for recoupling the carriers to the cable at a downstream side of the station and a path of the carriers through the station after the carriers have been decoupled from the cable. This path is formed by a roll in which the carriers are guided and includes decelerating and accelerating stretches in which respective driven rollers engage the carriers. At a control stretch the speed of the carriers can be adjusted relative to a normal speed in response to a sensor of the intercarrier interval to maintain a predetermined carrier spacing on recoupling of the carriers to the cable.

Abstract: Device for continuously controlling the clamping force in monocable ropew, comprising a test spring which acts against the pressure spring and which is arranged with the latter-mentioned in the pressure mechanism. A signal and/or stop device is responsive to a deformation of the test spring when a predetermined threshold magnitude of deformation has been exceeded.
