20140020592 | AERIAL TRANSPORT INSTALLATION WITH BACK-AND-FORTH MOVEMENT AND MULTIPLE SECTIONS - An aerial transport installation with back-and-forth movement includes two carrying-hauling ropes extending in two individual closed loops between two end terminals separated from one another by an intermediate station which is provided with a double pulley. The latter is provided with two grooves having different groove root diameters, such that the ratio of the diameters is equal to the ratio respectively of the axial distance between the first bull-wheel and the double pulley and of the axial distance between the second bull-wheel and the double pulley. The speeds of the vehicles are also different in the two loops. | 01-23-2014 |
20140013992 | Cable Transport Installation - The transport system in accordance with the invention comprises a car for receiving passengers, a guidance system and a cable traction system. The transport system is characterized in that the guidance system is constituted of a single central rail on which roll wheels attached to the car. Thus, there is no longer any lateral wall to support the guide rail or rails, which makes it possible to limit the width of the roadway neutralized by the system. The wheels of the car may be located laterally on each side of the central rail. | 01-16-2014 |
20130213133 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MEASURING THE SPEED OF A HAULAGE CABLE OF A CABLEWAY, IN PARTICULAR A CHAIRLIFT OR A CABLE CAR - Device for measuring a haulage cable of a cableway, in particular a chairlift or a cable car, the haulage cable including marks, and the device including first and second sensors configured to transmit respectively first and second information signals relative to the presence of the marks, the second sensor being located at a reference distance from the first sensor, a first determination device configured to determine a phase shift between the first and second information signals and a second determination device for determining a speed information of the haulage cable from the determined phase shift and the reference distance. | 08-22-2013 |
20130199401 | Chair-lift station having a high flow and small dimensions - Disengageable chair-lift station having a transfer way made up of a first longitudinal part extending in alignment with the line of the carrying-hauling cable, and of a second transversal part extending perpendicular to the first part. The driving or return pulley is placed between the sections of the first part, and the disembarkation and embarkation platforms are shifted from one another in the second part, so that the disembarkation and embarkation of the skiers are performed on the same side of the station, in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the line. | 08-08-2013 |
20130145954 | TRANSPORT EQUIPMENT WITH A VEHICLE GUIDED ALONG A SINGLE TRAFFIC LANE - A transport installation comprising at least one carrier vehicle moving longitudinally in to-and-fro manner along a single running track being guided by two guiding elements each following one of the lateral branches of the track in a crossing area. The carrier vehicle carries two independent gripping mechanisms respectively associated with the two guiding elements and each able to temporarily secure the carrier vehicle in the lateral direction to the associated guiding elements. Such gripping mechanisms constitute on-board devices for selecting the branch associated with its direction of running on entering a crossing area. | 06-13-2013 |
20130118372 | Method and Apparatus for Tensioning a Cable - A method for tensioning a cable uses a tensioning installation comprising a pulley over which the cable passes, a support trolley for the mobile pulley, on a guide rail and one or several linear actuators to move the trolley. The method allows coupling an actuator, in a first position between a first support point fixed relative to the rail and a second support point fixed relative to the trolley such that the trolley moves on a first segment of the rail and the actuator is controlled as a function of the set tension of the cable decoupling the actuator from its first position; and coupling an actuator, in a second position between a third support point fixed relative to the rail and a fourth support point fixed relative to the trolley, at least one of the third support point or the fourth support point being distinct from the first support point and the second support point such that the trolley moves on a second segment of the rail and the actuator is controlled as a function of the set tension of the cable. A cable tensioning installation and a cable transport installation are described. | 05-16-2013 |

20120017797 | TRANSPORT EQUIPMENT WITH A VEHICLE GUIDED ALONG A SINGLE TRAFFIC LANE - A transport installation having at least one carrier vehicle moving longitudinally in to-and-fro manner along a single running track being guided by two guiding elements each following one of the lateral branches of the track in a crossing area. The carrier vehicle carries two independent gripping mechanisms respectively associated with the two guiding elements and each able to temporarily secure the carrier vehicle in the lateral direction to the associated guiding elements. Such gripping mechanisms constitute on-board devices for selecting the branch associated with its direction of running on entering a crossing area. | 01-26-2012 |
20110226152 | PASSENGER TRANSPORT INSTALLATION COMPRISING INDEPENDENT VEHICLES TRAVELLING ON TRACKS AND HAULED BY CABLES, AND METHOD FOR TRANSPORTING PASSENGERS - A public passenger transport installation includes two end stations connected via two tracks for inbound and outbound travels. At each station, both tracks join into a common single connector track section via a switch. Each of the tracks is associated with at least two endless cables, which extend from one of the station to the other one, and more precisely from one of the connector track section to the other. The endless cables associated with one track run in parallel to one another, and are laterally offset with respect to one another by a given distance, which is constant along the track and at the stations. Vehicles provided with releasable clamps can be individually coupled to the cables. Each clamp is movable between at least four indexed lateral positions, each corresponding to one of the cables on the connector track section. Each cable can be individually driven at continuously variable speed between standstill and a cruising speed. | 09-22-2011 |
20090205530 | Assistance system in loading/unloading passengers in cars - An assistance system for loading and/or unloading passengers on board cars of a transport installation where the cars move along a closed circuit comprises a rope in a closed loop having a first section arranged tangentially to a section of the closed circuit and a second section arranged along a loading and/or unloading area of the passengers on board vehicles coupled to the rope at regular intervals equal to a multiple of the interval between the cars. The drive means of the rope are associated with means for servo-control of the running speed of the rope according to the speed of movement of the cars able to continuously ensure that each vehicle running along the first section occupies a position adjacent to a car. | 08-20-2009 |
20090189131 | Hoisting device of a rope section having a lifting element with two shells assembled by sliding - A hoisting device of a section of a rope for a mechanical ski-lift installation comprises on the one hand a lifting element designed to be positioned pressing against the rope and on the other hand means for moving the lifting element in a first direction. The lifting element is formed by a sleeve having a main axis oriented in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, designed to be positioned around the rope section. The sleeve comprises a top shell having connection means connecting with the means for moving, a bottom shell having a support dish designed to be positioned pressing underneath said rope section, the two shells comprising complementary guiding elements for assembly by sliding in the second direction, and securing means disabling sliding between the two shells after assembly. | 07-30-2009 |
