A cable car system has at least two cable car stations and at least one carrying cable between the stations. A cable car vehicle is moved by a hauling cable between the car stations. The travelling positions of the vehicle along the travelling route are determined by a measuring device and transmitted to a control unit and processed and stored in same. A signal is input into the control unit by an input device located on a cable car support such that maintenance or assembly works and similar are carried out on this cable car support. When a cable car vehicle approaches the cable car support, the drive for moving the at least one cable car vehicle is controlled by the control unit such that the cable car vehicle is moved at a significantly reduced speed in relation to the operating speed, or is stopped at the cable car support.

Method for operating a cable car system and cable car system for carrying out this operating method

A system for supplying at least one electrical load or energy storage device with direct current by way of a plurality of electrical generators that are mounted to at rollers, in particular track rollers or support rollers, of a cable car system. The output of each of the generators leads to a respective AC/DC converter. All AC/DC converters are controlled or regulated by a control unit to the extent that at least approximately identical constant voltages are present at their outputs. The outputs of all AC/DC converters are connected to one another and are connected to the at least one load or energy storage device.

System for supplying at least one electrical load or energy storage device with direct current

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 cableway system for the transport of persons or goods has two pairs of track cables, which extend between two terminal stations, such as a valley station and a mountain station. Transport vehicles, such as gondolas, are moved along the track cables by at least one traction cable. The track cables run in a curved path in the region of at least one tower and the traction cable is guided in the region of the at least one tower via carrying rollers. At least some of the carrying rollers for the traction cable, which are located in the region of the at least one tower, are adjustable in terms of their position in relation to the two track cables.

Cableway system for transporting persons or goods

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

An assembly on a cableway or a goods-conveying system for detecting incorrect positioning of a carrying cable on a mount with a channel in which the carrying cable is located. The assembly includes a device for detecting the faulty positioning of the carrying cable. A segment of the mount is movable, and the device for detecting the incorrect positioning of the carrying cable detects movement of the portion of the mount. It is thus possible for incorrect positioning of the carrying cable, which results in this segment being displaced, to be detected in good time, even before the carrying cable in this portion has been completely derailed.

Device for detecting faulty positioning of a carrying cable in a cableway system

A clamping device for coupling a transport device, for example a cabin, gondola, or a chair, to the hauling or traction cable of a cableway system. The clamping device contains two clamping jaws that can be moved toward one another or apart for coupling the clamping device to and uncoupling it from the hauling or traction cable. Exchangeable jaws, via which the clamping jaws act on the hauling or traction cable, are fastened to the clamping jaws. A bearing surface on the clamping jaws for the exchangeable jaws is curved concavely, and a counter surface on the exchangeable jaws has a corresponding curvature.
