Abstract: A chair of a chairlift contains a footrest which is connected to an automatic positioning mechanism and which may be positioned below the seat of the chair between a travel position and a boarding and/or disembarking position. The chair further has at least one seat with a seat surface and a safety bar extending transversely over the seat and being pivoted from an open position into a closed position.

Abstract: A closure bar for a chair of a chair lift includes regions having an increased non-slip capability in order to prevent people from slipping out of the chair. At least a region of the closure bar pointing downwards when in a closed position has the higher non-slip capability. A chair of a chair lift having the closure bar is also provided.

Abstract: A method for heating a gondola of a cableway system and a gondola that is suitable for carrying out the process, as well as a cableway system with gondolas of the type. In order to increase passengers' comfort when being conveyed, the floor or parts of the floor is or are heated by an electrical heating device integrated in the floor in particular while the gondola is situated in a station of the cableway system.

Abstract: A cableway system has a valley station and a mountain station. A supporting and conveying cable displace transport devices between the stations, and/or the system has at least one supporting cable, on which the transport devices are displaced with a conveying cable. The inclined positions of transport devices in relation to the vertical operating position are sensed by a respective sensor on the transport devices. When a first limit value for the inclined position of one of the transport devices is exceeded, a transmitter transmits a first control signal from the transport device to a receiver in one or both stations. The first control signal reduces the speed of the conveying cable. When a predetermined second limit value for the inclined position of a transport device is exceeded, a second control signal is transmitted to the receiver. The second control signal switches off the drive for the conveying cable.

Abstract: A chair of a chairlift has at least one seat with a seat surface and a pivotable closing bar. When the closing bar is closed, its crossbar extends across the thighs of a passenger. The crossbar bears a locking mechanism, which reduces the distance between the crossbar and the seat surface. The locking mechanism has a contact surface, which extends substantially parallel to the crossbar and faces towards the seat surface and the distance of which from the seat surface is variable. The variability of the distance of the contact surface from the seat surface allows an automatic adjustment to the length of the legs and thickness of the thighs. This prevents large persons from being cramped by the locking mechanism, whilst ensuring that small persons are securely held.

Abstract: An apparatus monitors the locking of the safety bar of the chairs of an aerial cableway system. A first sensor determines the occupancy of the chairs and a second sensor determines the locking of the safety bar. The sensor output signals from these two sensors are led to a control device, which is enabled to switch the chairlift system off.

Abstract: A cable railroad system has a load-bearing and traction cable and a large number of chairs. The chairs are provided with coupling devices with which they can be coupled to the load-bearing and traction cable. Here, the seats of the chairs are constructed with electric heating devices and also with batteries for feeding the heating devices. The system also has devices for charging up the batteries.
