Abstract: A cable transportation system for transporting people or goods defines an advancing path extending between two end stations and having a designated length L, and has a hauling cable looped into a closed ring and having a forward branch and a return branch, which extend between the end stations; at least one vehicle configured to be alternately advanced between the two end stations, and selectively and alternately clamped to the forward branch and the return branch of the hauling cable at the end stations; and a drive member for advancing the hauling cable along the advancing path and selectively stopping the hauling cable when the vehicle clamped to the hauling cable is at one end station.

Abstract: A cable transportation system bogie extends along a longitudinal axis and has a main frame defining a supporting surface; a platform configured to support at least one car; and an articulated mechanism connected to the main frame and the platform, and configured to transmit pulling force between the main frame and the platform, and to permit movement of the platform with respect to the main frame in any direction.

Abstract: A cable transportation system configured to move transportation units along a designated or given track has a switch with a first movable guide having one degree of freedom, along an operating plane, between two designated or given positions; a second movable guide having one degree of freedom, along the operating plane, between two designated or given positions; and a third and a fourth movable guide connected rigidly to each other and having one degree of freedom, along the operating plane, between two designated or given positions; the first, second, third and fourth movable guide being configured so that the first and second movable guide each define a continuation of the third or fourth movable guide.

Abstract: A switch for a cable transportation system has a movable guide with one degree of freedom, along an operating plane, between two designated or given positions; and an actuating assembly having a rotary actuator, and a crank which is rotated by the rotary actuator between two limit stops about an axis of rotation perpendicular to the operating plane, and is connected to the movable guide in such a manner as to define a mechanism having two stable positions corresponding to the designated or given positions of the movable guide when the crank is in the limit stop positions.

Abstract: A cable transportation system switch having a first straight rail; a second straight rail forming an angle of more than 0° and less than 45° with the first straight rail; and a third straight rail located between the first and second straight rail and movable selectively between a first operating position, in which the third straight rail contacts the first straight rail and is parallel to the second straight rail, and a second operating position, in which the third straight rail contacts the second straight rail and is parallel to the first straight rail.
