A hybrid cable/rail transportation system comprising: at least one portion of the system configured as a cable transportation system; at least one portion of the system configured as a rail transportation system, a first trolley coupled to the supporting cable and comprising a first coupling device for coupling to the cabin; a second trolley coupled to the rail and comprising a second coupling device for coupling to the cabin; a plurality of transportation units wherein each transportation unit comprises a cabin, each cabin comprising a roof provided with a coupling system configured for coupling the cabin to the first trolley along the system portion configured as a cable transportation system and to the second trolley along the system portion configured as a rail transportation system; wherein the coupling system arranged on the roof of the cabin, the first coupling device of the first trolley and the second coupling device of the second trolley are configured for allowing a progressive passage of the cabin from the first to the second trolley, or vice-versa, without stopping the support.

A station of a cable transportation system configured for U-turning the direction of movement of a transportation unit supported and moved outside the station by at least a cable. The station includes a device for the automatic uncoupling of the cable from the transportation unit; and a device for the automatic coupling of the cable to the transportation unit. The station also includes a guiding device extending along a longitudinal axis and configured for supporting and guiding the transportation unit inside the station between the automatic uncoupling device and the automatic coupling device.

Station of a cable transportation system

A cable transportation system comprising: at least a cable; an upstream station and a downstream station between which the cable extends; a plurality of supporting intermediate structures for supporting the cable between the upstream station and the downstream station; a plurality of transporting units coupled above the cable in a configuration suspended in the void and free to swing; an alarm device configured for detecting the contact between the transporting units and the supporting intermediate structures when a threshold tilting angle of the transporting units is exceeded and for emitting a relative alarm signal.

Cable transportation system

A trolley for supporting transporting units of a transportation system, wherein the transporting units are supported suspended from a guide defining a direction of movement; the trolley comprising: a frame; rolls supported by the frame and configured for resting and rolling on the guide; a suspending arm for supporting the transporting units, wherein the suspending arm pivots constrained to the frame about the direction of movement between a first and a second angular position; a rotation limiting device selectively operable for limiting or blocking the rotation of the suspending arm with respect to the frame.

Trolley for supporting transporting units suspended from a guide of a transportation system and transportation system comprising such a trolley

A device of a roller assembly or a trolley for a cable transportation system, the device comprising: a frame having two facing walls, which are provided with two respective first holes having a first axis in common; a pin that engages the first holes; a body mounted rotatably about the pin between the two facing walls of the frame, the body having a hole, which has a second axis and enables the passage of the pin; and an auxiliary constraining device that is selectively releasable configured to keep the axes of the first holes of the frame and of the hole of the body coincident even in the absence of the pin.

Roller assembly device or a trolley device for a cable transportation system

A passenger cable transportation system, the cable system comprising: at least one cabin for transporting passengers; at least one station for passengers boarding and landing from the cabin; two lateral guides facing each other and configured to guide the cabin into the station along an advancing direction, wherein there is a clearance between the lateral guides and the cabin; and at least one blocking device configured to block the cabin in relation to the lateral guides at least along a direction transversal to the advancing direction level with at least one part of the station.

Passenger cable transportation system

A cable transportation system with at least one haul cable has a supporting structure with a tubular portion defining an axis of rotation; a pulley extending about the axis of rotation; and a bearing assembly, which is connected to the pulley and the tubular portion to enable the pulley to rotate about the axis of rotation with respect to the supporting structure, and has a first and second bearing arranged concentrically and in series, so as to ensure rotation of the pulley about the axis of rotation and with respect to the supporting structure utilizing at least the first or second bearing.

Cable transportation system with at least one haul cable

A cable transportation system having a rolling track extending along a designated path; a trolley configured to roll along the rolling track; a haul cable extending along the designated path and selectively connectable to the trolley; and at least one roller assembly having a frame, a plurality of rollers fitted movably to the frame, and elastic members located between the frame and the rollers to enable the rollers to assume a first operating position contacting the haul cable, and a second operating position lower than the first operating position and contacting the trolley as the trolley runs along the roller assembly.

Cable transportation system with at least one haul cable and a trolley, and relative operating method

The invention relates to a cable derailing prevention device for carrier/traction cables of cable car systems in an installation including: a carrier/traction cable; a multitude of rollers which flank a coupling rail and are located at the exit from the station; a multitude of clamps from which the driving means are suspended; at least one roller that has a couple and clamp and supports the cable, and a support roller or hold-down roller battery according to the cable guide, the coupling rail forming a coupling area between the cable and the clamps. According to the invention, an aligning device is mounted in front of the coupling area of the clamps on the cable before the coupling rail and limits the deviation of the cable due to a derailing on the roller battery so that the cable is always located inside the opening of the clamp.
