An accelerator and decelerator sliding block ( ), in particular for transport system vehicles, comprising a first plane portion ( ) longitudinally elongated, operatively associable to a roller conveyor ( ) for accelerating or decelerating a vehicle, and a second portion ( ) which extends longitudinally for a longer portion than the first portion ( ); the roller conveyor ( ) comprises a beam ( ) which carries a plurality of axes ( ), each carrying in turn a roller ( ) associable to the sliding block ( ) so that first rollers ( ) are arranged at free ends of the conveyor ( ) and are arranged at a greater distance than that between successive second rollers ( ).

An automatic clamping device for cableway systems including a pair of jaws. One jaw of the pair of jaws is driven in opening and closing through at least one arm, which is capable of rotating around at least one articulated joint. The rotation occurs due to the action of springs or by operation from outside on an opening lever so as to grip or release a traction cable of a cableway system of the two-cable type.

Automatic clamping device for cableway systems of the two-cable type

A mobile jaw (,) vice (,) for clamping and unclamping vehicles (,) to and from a traction cable (,) of a single-cable or two-cable transport system, such as a chair lift, a funicular cableway and a city transport system or a telpher, comprising a lever system (,) for arm (,) and jaw (,) handling, adapted to guarantee a suitable opening and an effective grip of the vice (,) onto the cable (,) also in case of wide oscillations of the vehicle (,).

In order to operate both arms of a clamp of a funicular system of a rail and running cable vehicle with the same force and at the same time, a guide carrier element, which includes two longitudinal surfaces over which the free ends of the movable jaws move, is formed in one piece and can move vertically transverse to the free ends so as to be instantaneously and automatically self-centering about the jaws and hence about the clamp.

Funicular system of rail and running cable type

A double-acting clamp for coupling a funicular vehicle to a running cable wherein in order to reduce the overall size as much as possible, a clamp has jaw operating arms substantially perpendicular to the jaws of each arm and said jaw operating arms define a space within which both an elastic mechanism and the operating arms for the elastic mechanism are housed.

Double-acting clamp for coupling a funicular vehicle to the running cable

A vise is constituted by a stationary jaw and a movable jaw, pivoted to each other, and suitable to be clamped onto a cable by means of the action of at least one spring. The stationary jaw is prolonged into a supporting pin for the vehicles, and the movable jaw is prolonged into a lever controlling its opening or closure onto the driving cable in cooperation with the stationary jaw. The spring acts between the supporting pin and the control lever to keep them open wide apart relative to the hinging axis of the jaws.
