  • Patent number: 11198450
    Abstract: A cable car system has at least two cable car stations and at least one carrying cable between the stations. A cable car vehicle is moved by a hauling cable between the car stations. The travelling positions of the vehicle along the travelling route are determined by a measuring device and transmitted to a control unit and processed and stored in same. A signal is input into the control unit by an input device located on a cable car support such that maintenance or assembly works and similar are carried out on this cable car support. When a cable car vehicle approaches the cable car support, the drive for moving the at least one cable car vehicle is controlled by the control unit such that the cable car vehicle is moved at a significantly reduced speed in relation to the operating speed, or is stopped at the cable car support.

  • Patent number: 10727674
    Abstract: A system for supplying at least one electrical load or energy storage device with direct current by way of a plurality of electrical generators that are mounted to at rollers, in particular track rollers or support rollers, of a cable car system. The output of each of the generators leads to a respective AC/DC converter. All AC/DC converters are controlled or regulated by a control unit to the extent that at least approximately identical constant voltages are present at their outputs. The outputs of all AC/DC converters are connected to one another and are connected to the at least one load or energy storage device.

  • Patent number: 9873439
    Abstract: A cable car system for transporting people includes at least one vehicle to be coupled along a line to a transport cable, to be moved by the cable in stations and to be moved past at least one embarkation or disembarkation area in which passengers board or leave the vehicle. A conveyor is provided in the embarkation or disembarkation area. A screen is provided for the passengers between the motion path of the vehicle and the embarkation and disembarkation area, to protect the passengers against climatic and acoustic conditions prevailing outside the station building. The screen has at least one opening through which the passengers move to the at least one vehicle or to the disembarkation area. The conveyor is located within the opening and extends only over a part of the length of the opening in the motion direction of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 9688289
    Abstract: A transport system has at least one hauling cable to which a cableway vehicle formed with running gear and a vehicle cab can be coupled. Alternatively, the system has a carrying cable or a track on which a cableway vehicle formed with running gear and a cab can be moved by a traction cable. The section with the hauling cable or carrying cable, or the track, is adjoined by a further track section along which a carrying vehicle for the cableway vehicle can be moved. The carrying vehicle has a drive motor. The running gear of the cableway vehicle runs onto and attaches to the carrying vehicle, whereupon the cableway vehicle is movable along the adjoining track by the carrying vehicle.

  • Patent number: 9475503
    Abstract: A cableway system for the transport of persons or goods has two pairs of track cables, which extend between two terminal stations, such as a valley station and a mountain station. Transport vehicles, such as gondolas, are moved along the track cables by at least one traction cable. The track cables run in a curved path in the region of at least one tower and the traction cable is guided in the region of the at least one tower via carrying rollers. At least some of the carrying rollers for the traction cable, which are located in the region of the at least one tower, are adjustable in terms of their position in relation to the two track cables.

  • Patent number: 8172073
    Abstract: An assembly on a cableway or a goods-conveying system for detecting incorrect positioning of a carrying cable on a mount with a channel in which the carrying cable is located. The assembly includes a device for detecting the faulty positioning of the carrying cable. A segment of the mount is movable, and the device for detecting the incorrect positioning of the carrying cable detects movement of the portion of the mount. It is thus possible for incorrect positioning of the carrying cable, which results in this segment being displaced, to be detected in good time, even before the carrying cable in this portion has been completely derailed.

  • Publication number: 20080229966
    Abstract: A method for operating a cableway system, and a cableway system with a valley station and with at least one mountain station and with transportation devices which can be moved between said stations. In the stations, the transportation devices are moved along a guide rail by way of conveying means, such as conveying wheels, assigned thereto, through a first boarding and disembarking region for the passengers and, selectively, along at least one further guide rail branching off from the guide rail via at least one diverter, along which transportation devices can be moved, likewise by way of conveying means, through at least one second boarding and disembarking region. A control unit is provided, to which the outputs of sensors assigned to the boarding and disembarking regions are supplied and by way of which the diverters and the conveying means can be controlled, with the transportation devices being moved through the boarding and disembarking regions as required.

  • Patent number: 7426889
    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.

  • Patent number: 5833172
    Abstract: An arrangement of outlet devices for releasing into the atmosphere cryogenic, combustible exhaust vapors in the near-surface, flow-swept, outer area of aircraft, land vehicles and watercraft. The arrangement provides at least one outlet device on the top side of a component at the top end of a pylon, which is favorable in terms of flow, in the free, undisturbed air flow. Each outlet device is arranged, designed and oriented such that the exhaust vapor is released in at least one directed jet oriented to the rear or to the rear and upward, with or without a lateral component, and is kept away from air inlets, hot exhaust gas jets and other sources of ignition, as well as from surfaces of components.
