A corner connection is provided between support elements of a cableway cabin. The corner connection has a support element (1), designed as an elongated strut having a hollow end (2), and an angled connecting element (3) having a connecting piece (4). The connecting piece (4) is insertable into the hollow end (2) of the support element (1) in a form-fitting manner. An inner shape of the hollow end (2) and an outer shape of the connecting piece (4) have an angular design. At least two oppositely situated surfaces of the hollow end (2) and the connecting piece (4) are provided in a form-fitting manner in such a way that a gap (14, 14′) remains between the inner surface (10, 10′) of the hollow end (2) and the outer surface (9, 9′) of the connecting piece (4), wherein an adhesive material is provided in the gap (14, 14′).

Abstract

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.

Abstract

A cabin for accommodating at least one of passengers and goods, including an opening and a holder fastened to the cabin for holding a glazing unit in the opening. The cabin includes at least two connection members that each include a first fastening part connected to the glazing unit and a second fastening part connected to the cabin. The glazing unit is secured in the region of the opening when the glazing unit has detached from the holder. The glazing unit can, for example, be pressed out of the holder as a result of persons carried in the cabin violently pushing or striking the inner side of the glazing unit. However, the connection member prevents these persons from falling downwards out of the cabin. The glazing unit is also prevented from falling. As a result, safety of the passengers and/or goods in the cabin is ensured.

Abstract

An aerial cable car system including transportation operating equipment for passenger and/or freight transport, wherein electrical consumers are connected for operation thereof to a rechargeable electrical energy store of a transportation operating equipment by a respective power circuit. The transportation operating equipment includes an operating control device connected to measuring devices for dynamically capturing measurement values based on available quantity of energy in the energy store. The operating control device includes a storage module having at least one stored measurement control value and an associated control parameter. The operating control device includes a filter module comparing a captured measurement value to the at least one stored measurement control value and reading out corresponding stored control parameter, based on which power circuits can be selectively coupled or decoupled to the energy store by the operating control device. Electrical consumers in transportation operating equipment can be fed without interruption by the energy store, even during travel.

Abstract

Automatic cable transport facility along a closed loop line, including vehicles that can be disengaged at a set rate in stations after moving along a disengaged circuit where they are driven at low speed along disembarkation and embarkation platforms. Each station includes an automatic control mechanism able to extract the vehicles from the slow progression in the disengaged circuit, and transfer them to a disembarkation/embarkation point which is assigned to them in order of arrival, the previous vehicle having previously been reintegrated into the slow progression line in the place of the vehicle extracted in accordance with a preset program. A compensation point includes a permanently available spare empty vehicle which can be used to fill an empty space left by a vehicle that has been delayed and stopped at the disembarkation/embarkation point.

Abstract

A cableway cabin, having supporting elements including a base frame, a roof frame and at least four corner columns connecting the base frame to the roof frame. All these parts are formed only from tubular sections having a circular inner cross-section. The parts are which has three connecting pieces, at least one of which is conical and one of which in each case is pressed into one of the three tubular sections forming a corner. Unless all three connecting pieces are conical, it is expedient to make the non-conical connecting piece or connecting pieces cylindrical and to provide them with a constriction extending over more than 60% of their length and filled with a resilient adhesive.
