ELECTRIC AERIAL SKY TRAM
An aerial sky tram system includes a plurality of towers, a cable track suspended from the plurality of towers by a support cable, and a sky tram coupled to the cable track. The sky tram includes a plurality of rotors that propel the sky tram along the cable track.
Roller assembly device or a trolley device for a cable transportation system
A device of a roller assembly or a trolley for a cable transportation system, the device comprising: a frame having two facing walls, which are provided with two respective first holes having a first axis in common; a pin that engages the first holes; a body mounted rotatably about the pin between the two facing walls of the frame, the body having a hole, which has a second axis and enables the passage of the pin; and an auxiliary constraining device that is selectively releasable configured to keep the axes of the first holes of the frame and of the hole of the body coincident even in the absence of the pin.
Underground distribution system for the distribution of goods in an urban environment
Underground distribution system for the distribution of goods in an urban environment including at least one micro-tunnel forming at least one loop, extending under the foundations of preexisting surface buildings and/or infrastructures, in which goods, the transportation of which is automated, circulate, and a plurality of exchange stations exchanging with the surface, each including a shaft allowing goods to be lowered down to the micro-tunnel and raised back up after they have been transported within the micro-tunnel.
Chair for a chairlift
A chair for chairlifts includes a pivotal installation that can pivot into a closed position and an open position, a locking element of the installation, and a blocking element for the locking element. The blocking element is movable into a blocking position and into a releasing position. A control element allows the blocking element to be moved from the blocking position and the installation to be opened. A chairlift and a method for activating a pivotable installation are also provided.
HYBRID CABLE/RAIL TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM, TRANSPORTATION UNIT FOR SUCH A TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPERATING SUCH A TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM
A hybrid cable/rail transportation system comprising: at least one system portion configured as a cable transportation system comprising at least one cable; at least one system portion configured as a rail transportation system comprising at least one rail, wherein the system portion configured as a cable transportation system is upstream and/or downstream of the system portion configured as a rail transportation system; a plurality of transportation units, wherein each transportation unit comprises a cabin; wherein each cabin is configured for being moved along the entire system, respectively supported hanging from the cable along the system portion configured as a cable transportation system and supported resting on the rail along the system portion configured as a rail transportation system.
Method For Operating A Cableway
In order to simplify the troubleshooting in a cableway during operation of the cableway, a unique car identification is assigned to each car, with the car identification of each car being known by the cableway control system. At least one function monitoring unit transmits malfunctions triggered by cars during the operation of the cableway to the cableway control system in a function status message FSi. The cableway control system assigns a malfunction that was received to the triggering car and the malfunctions together with the car identification of the triggering car are stored and evaluated in the cableway control system.
Single pole aerial tramway apparatus for cycles
A single pole aerial tramway apparatus carries multiple cycles in an upright position along the path of overhead cables from an aerial tramway. A single, bowed pole supports a multi-cycle support assembly on which multiple cycles are mounted. The bowed pole has a medial region that arcs distally from the cycles, so as to create additional space for loading and carrying the cycles. A bracket forms a junction point that detachably connects a pole cable end of the bowed pole to a cable extension member from the cable. The bracket may be hinged to enable the pole to sway to reduce mechanical stress. A multi-cycle support assembly attaches to the pole cycle end. A primary stabilization bar and a secondary stabilization bar carry and balance the multi-cycle support assembly. Cycle racks set on the stabilization bars receive the cycles in a front tire depression and a rear tire brace.
Device for locking a pivotal protective device for a chairlift
A device for locking a pivotal protective device, such as a safety bracket or a weather protection hood, of a chair for a chairlift. The device has interacting projections, one of which is connected to a frame of the chair and the other of which is connected to the protective device. At least one of the projections is resiliently mounted, and the projections are equipped with sliding surfaces which produce a deformation of the resilient bracket after a defined force has been applied to the safety bracket and allow the projections to slide past one another in both directions.
ROLLER ASSEMBLY DEVICE OR A TROLLEY DEVICE FOR A CABLE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM
A device of a roller assembly or a trolley for a cable transportation system, the device comprising: a frame having two facing walls, which are provided with two respective first holes having a first axis in common; a pin that engages the first holes; a body mounted rotatably about the pin between the two facing walls of the frame, the body having a hole, which has a second axis and enables the passage of the pin; and an auxiliary constraining device that is selectively releasable configured to keep the axes of the first holes of the frame and of the hole of the body coincident even in the absence of the pin.
CORNER CONNECTION FOR SUPPORT ELEMENTS OF A CABLEWAY CABIN
A corner connection is provided between support elements of a cableway cabin. The corner connection has a support element (1), designed as an elongated strut having a hollow end (2), and an angled connecting element (3) having a connecting piece (4). The connecting piece (4) is insertable into the hollow end (2) of the support element (1) in a form-fitting manner. An inner shape of the hollow end (2) and an outer shape of the connecting piece (4) have an angular design. At least two oppositely situated surfaces of the hollow end (2) and the connecting piece (4) are provided in a form-fitting manner in such a way that a gap (14, 14) remains between the inner surface (10, 10) of the hollow end (2) and the outer surface (9, 9) of the connecting piece (4), wherein an adhesive material is provided in the gap (14, 14).
