The invention relates to a tire conveyor for a transport device, in particular gondolas, of a cable car installation. The conveyor includes tires, which are arranged along a track, and a drive train for the tires. The drive train has at least one drive pulley, in particular a belt pulley, and at least one drive device, in particular a belt. A guide is arranged along the track, at least in some sections, and at least one measurement device for measuring at least one property of the drive train or a component of the drive train is displaceable on the guide.

Tyre conveyor for transport means

An apparatus for moving ropeway vehicles in a ropeway system includes at least one conveying wheel being adjustable in height relative to the vehicles by a lifting device to be brought into abutment against the vehicles for displacing the vehicles along a track using the conveying wheel. An electric lifting device has an electric drive motor with a threaded sleeve or the like to be retained in its height position and rotated by the drive motor and a lifting spindle to be adjusted in height by the threaded sleeve for adjusting the conveying wheel in height. Upper and lower end surfaces of the threaded sleeve and the lifting spindle have stops located approximately in planes normal to the direction of rotation of the threaded sleeve or the like which, in upper and lower end positions of the lifting spindle, abut one another preventing further rotation of the threaded sleeve.

Apparatus for moving ropeway vehicles in a ropeway system

A cable car system has vehicles which are coupled to a conveying cable between stations. The vehicles are decoupled from the conveying cable in the stations and are moved through the stations along guide rails. The vehicles are formed with current collectors and the stations have associated power rails. In at least one of the vehicles there is located a circuit with at least one electrical load which is supplied with electrical energy via the current collector and the power rails. At least one second circuit with at least one further electrical load is located in at least one vehicle. The second circuit is supplied with electrical energy via a single further current collector and a power rail assigned thereto. The two circuits are connected to a common current collector to which a single power rail is assigned.

Cable car system

A cable car system for transporting people includes at least one vehicle to be coupled along a line to a transport cable, to be moved by the cable in stations and to be moved past at least one embarkation or disembarkation area in which passengers board or leave the vehicle. A conveyor is provided in the embarkation or disembarkation area. A screen is provided for the passengers between the motion path of the vehicle and the embarkation and disembarkation area, to protect the passengers against climatic and acoustic conditions prevailing outside the station building. The screen has at least one opening through which the passengers move to the at least one vehicle or to the disembarkation area. The conveyor is located within the opening and extends only over a part of the length of the opening in the motion direction of the vehicle.

Cable car system for transporting people

A transport system has at least one hauling cable to which a cableway vehicle formed with running gear and a vehicle cab can be coupled. Alternatively, the system has a carrying cable or a track on which a cableway vehicle formed with running gear and a cab can be moved by a traction cable. The section with the hauling cable or carrying cable, or the track, is adjoined by a further track section along which a carrying vehicle for the cableway vehicle can be moved. The carrying vehicle has a drive motor. The running gear of the cableway vehicle runs onto and attaches to the carrying vehicle, whereupon the cableway vehicle is movable along the adjoining track by the carrying vehicle.

System for transporting people

A roller, in particular track roller or a carrying roller for use in a cableway system is formed with a cylindrical tubular piece that is located radially on the inside, two annular bearings that are located radially outside the tubular piece and at an axial distance from each other, and a roller body that is located radially outside the annular bearings. The roller body is formed of a track ring and two flanged disks located to the sides thereof. The roller includes an annular electric generator which is located within a cavity surrounded by the roller body and the two annular bearings.

Roller, in particular track roller or carrying roller for cableway systems

A cableway system for conveying skiers from a valley station to a mountain station has a continuous, and continuously moving, conveying cable, which is guided in the terminal stations via deflecting pulleys, of which at least one is a driven head wheel. The system includes chairs with seats for several skiers. The chairs are uncoupled from the conveying cable at the entrance into the stations, and guided through the stations, along guide rails, at a speed which is reduced in relation to the speed of the conveying cable, wherein the skiers sit on these chairs, or disembark therefrom, and the chairs are once more coupled to the conveying cable at the exit of the station. Skier-access barriers, are located in the valley station through which the skiers pass into the region of the movement paths of the chairs. A marking is provided in the region of the movement path of the chairs that indicates to the skiers the necessary positions for sitting on the chairs. The marking here is formed by a plurality of luminaires or luminary groups arranged in the surface of the ground in a direction transverse to the movement direction of the chairs, wherein each of the seats located on the chair is assigned a separate luminaire or luminary group.

Cableway system for conveying skiers and illuminating indicator strip

A cable railway system has two or more stations and at least one carrying cable and a conveying cable extending between the stations and guided in the stations by way of deflection pulleys. At least one of the pulleys is driven. Vehicles, such as cable cars or chairs, may be boarded or disembarked from in the stations by the passengers. The system may also have one or more fixed carrying cables along which the cars are moved by way of one or more hauling cables. At least one device is associated with the vehicles along the section of the cable railway system, by way of which device the pendulum movements that the vehicles are subject to transversely relative to the direction of movement of the vehicles are detectable and its output signals are conducted to a device that controls the drive of the cable railway system. The drive is thereby controllable in dependence on the extent of the pendulum movements.

Cable railway system

A cable railway system has a valley station and at least one mountain station. Transport vehicles such as cable cars are moved along a carrying and conveying cable and they are uncoupled from the cable in the stations and moved through the stations along a guide rail. The passengers board and disembark from the cable cars in entry and exit areas. Switches are disposed along the course of the guide rail for selectively moving a first group of cable cars along a first guide path and a second group along a second guide path through the entry and exit area. A common entry and exit area for the passengers is associated with the two groups of vehicles and disposed between the two guide paths. Entry and exit doors of the first group of vehicles open on a first side of the same and entry and exit doors of the second group of vehicles open on a second side, such that they face the common entry and exit area.
