People transportation carrier, cable transportation installation
A cable transportation carrier for transporting people includes a connector designed to be attached to an aerial cable. A frame is fixed to the connector and defines a permanent opening onto the outside. An anchor point is provided and is designed to attach a person equipped with a safety harness with a safety connector. The anchor point defines a blocking state and a free state. In the blocking state, the safety connector cannot leave the anchor point. In the free state, the safety connector can leave the anchor point. A locking device presents a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, the locking device keeps the anchor point in the blocking state. In the unlocked state, the locking device allows the anchor point to switch between the blocking state and the free state.
BICYCLE SUPPORT DEVICE
A support device receiving and retaining a bicycle on a mechanical lift vehicle moved in a longitudinal direction, the support device including: a lower support with an intermediate receptacle receiving in bearing engagement a wheel of said cycle extending between a proximal end section and a distal end section and articulated by its proximal end section to pivot between: a transport position in which the lower support is at a first angle to the longitudinal direction, a loading position in which the lower support is at a second angle less than the first angle, rolling means on the distal end section of the lower support conformed to roll on a surface such as the ground.
Hybrid cable/rail transportation system
A hybrid cable/rail transportation system comprising: at least one portion of the system configured as a cable transportation system comprising at least one supporting cable; at least one portion of the system 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; a first trolley coupled to the supporting cable; a second trolley coupled to the rail; wherein each cabin comprising a roof provided with a connection device configured to couple with the first trolley along the system portion configured as a cable transportation system and with the second trolley along the system portion configured as a rail transportation system.
AERIAL CABLE TRANSPORT STATION, AERIAL CABLE TRANSPORT INSTALLATION COMPRISING ONE SUCH STATION AND OPERATING METHOD OF ONE SUCH INSTALLATION
An aerial cable transport station comprises a cable running along the station to define a running track. A transport vehicle and a maintenance vehicle remain securedly attached to the cable when moving in the station. The maintenance vehicle is installed detachable from the cable and presents a different size from the transport vehicle. A guide prevents the transport vehicle from pivoting around a longitudinal axis of the cable beyond a threshold position. The guide is movable between operating and maintenance positions. In the operating position, the guide forms an obstacle to movement of the maintenance vehicle running in the station. In the maintenance position, the guide is located outside the volume occupied by the maintenance vehicle running in the station.
Door closure monitoring system
The invention refers to a system for monitoring the position of the doors of a moving car in a cable transportation system, the car comprising two doors and the monitoring system comprising an electronic control unit. The monitoring system comprises a detection target on each door, and a fixed detection device, such as a proximity switch with a field of action, which emits a detection signal when a target passes through the field of action, which is connected to the control unit and is positioned so that it can emit a detection signal when the car passes through a control zone. The control unit determines that the two doors of the car are correctly positioned if the distance between the two doors is less than a predetermined opening threshold.
