ZIPLINE TROLLEY
20210061316 · 2021-03-04 ·

For A zip line trolley brake system includes a cable suspended between upper and lower support platforms which, together, function with rider harnessing, loading, and take-off with a passive braking trolley allowing a controlled descent and barrel spring system providing addition braking near the end of a cable termination. The zip line trolley positioned atop a cable includes a frame assembled from a pair of parallel side plates, a four-sided rotational brake pad, and a parabolic groove wheel which is sandwiched between side plates, and a lever. A lever from which a rider is suspended, can be pinned anywhere within the trolley's circular toothed slot instilling a brake force for the cable slope. A trolley brake generally square sides are grooved for cables and fabricated from a durable polymeric material is rotatably within affixed side plates. A spring system includes a football-shape springs, spring spacers, bump spring spacer receiver, and a locking inserts designed to fasten the springs and allow the springs to collapse within themselves reducing the compression length. A bump spring spacer receiver makes contact with the zipline trolley further decelerating the suspended rider as contact is made with the springs.

AERIAL TRANSPORTATION INSTALLATION TERMINAL AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING MAINTENANCE OF A TERMINAL
20230415789 · 2023-12-28 · ·

An aerial transportation installation is provided with a carrier vehicle and a terminal. The terminal comprises a moving device to move the carrier vehicle in the terminal. The moving device defines a running path of the carrier vehicle and moves the vehicle. A platform is arranged on one side of the running path. The platform allows movement alongside the moving device and enables an operation to be performed on the moving device. The terminal defines a running space for a grip of the carrier vehicle. The moving device is arranged between the platform and the running space. An additional platform is movable between first and second positions. In a first position, the additional platform does not form an obstacle to progression of the vehicle. The second position enables maintenance to be performed on the moving device.

Ground-based power supply and associated reinforcing method

A power supply system comprising a track, which defines a trajectory, wherein the track comprises a track segment terminating at a segment end in a forward direction of the trajectory, and a hood, which is arranged in the extension of the track segment along the trajectory in the forward direction beyond the segment end; while a stringer, which supports the track segment, extends along the trajectory and terminates with a cut end in the forward direction. The system further comprises a reinforcing piece, which is applied against the cut end, in order to extend the stringer in the forward direction, wherein the reinforcing piece is essentially made of plastic and supports the hood.
