2. Description of the Related Art Most self-circulating cableways are constructed outdoors as transportation facilities for transporting tourists in mountainous tourist areas and skiers in ski areas. When constructing outdoors like this, in the cableway line, the ropes in which the carrier is suspended by gripping and moving on the up line side and the down line side are at the same height via the rope receiving device attached to the column. It is supported. Therefore, the moving heights of the carriages that start or arrive at the stops at both ends are the same, and the rails installed in the stop where the carriages are transferred for passengers getting on and off after releasing the rope. , Installed almost horizontally.

However, recently, an indoor ski resort that is open all year around the city is planned. In this indoor ski area, it is required to secure the widest possible running area and reduce the occupied area of equipment for transporting skiers as much as possible in order to effectively use the indoor area. In the cableway, in response to this request, the applicant of the present application filed March 14, 1990, Japanese Patent Application No. 2-62885 "Automatic circulation cableway terminal for indoor ski facility", Instead, the frame that extends from the beam of the building is used to change the bearing height of the rope that suspends the carrier that moves on the up line side and the down line side through the rope receiving device, thereby moving the carrier line. The width is narrowed to reduce the occupied area of the cableway line. Corresponding to this cableway line, there is an inclined rail section in the continuous rail for transporting and transporting the carrier after the rope has been released at the stop, and an inclined transfer device is provided in this inclined transfer section. A self-circulating cableway terminal has been proposed.

Put on. Thus, the boss 6 on the main frame 35 side
8a and the bosses 65, 65 of the arms 63, 63 are positioned concentrically, penetrate the hinge pin 64, and retaining rings 67, 67 prevent the hinge pin 64 from coming off from the outside. The arms 63, 63 have arrows 9 around the hinge pin 64.
It swings in the direction of 0 or arrow 91.

Next, the structure in which the tension pulley 56 is pivotally attached to the tip ends of the arms 63, 63 has plate-like arms 63, 63.
The shaft 58 having a flange 58a formed at the lower end is passed through and fixed by a retaining ring 59 and a bolt 60 on one arm 63 side. A tension pulley 56 is rotatably attached to the shaft 58 via bearings 61, 61. Collars 62, 62 are inserted in the gaps between the arms 63, 63 and the tension pulley 56 to prevent axial play of the tension pulley 56. Also, the arms 63,

Prevent it from coming off the traction plate 87. Further, as described above, the toothed belt 72 that moves on the side of the rail 2 while the gripping device 81 is being transferred.
Is bent at the location of the gripping machine 81, and the amount of movement on the rail 2 side between the drive pulley 25 and the driven pulley 36 becomes long. The tension pulley 56 pivotally attached swings around the hinge pin 64 in the direction of arrow 90 to absorb the fluctuation of the toothed belt 72. Also,
The arms 63, 63 to which the tension pulley 56 is pivotally attached

Industrial Applicability According to the present invention, an automatic circulation cableway in which the occupation area of cableway equipment is reduced by fixing and suspending a carrier to change the bearing height of the ropes that move both reciprocating lines in the cableway track. The present invention relates to a transfer device for a carrier provided in the stop. That is, in response to the difference in the moving height of the carrier in the cableway line, the rails arranged at the stop points at both ends change the erection height on the arrival side and the departure side, and the sloping part is provided in the forwarding transfer section. Provide a continuous track. The inclined transfer device for transferring the carrier on the inclined rails circulates the toothed belt substantially in parallel over the entire length of the inclined rails between the pair of pulleys. On the other hand, a traction plate having a tooth profile that meshes with the teeth of the toothed belt is attached to the gripper of the carrier. In this way, the teeth of the toothed belt and the teeth of the traction plate are engaged with each other, and the carry device is circulated and transported along with the circular movement of the toothed belt and the inclined rail. Therefore, even in the section of the slanted rail, the transport speed can be accurately maintained, and the carrier can be transported and transported at a predetermined interval, and since the toothed belt is made of a material such as rubber,
It also has the effect of reducing noise during circulation. Further, in the case of transporting and transporting a horizontal rail, as in the conventional case, the upper surface of the traction plate attached to the gripping machine is configured so that the rubber transport tire presses and rotates to transport the carrier by friction,
It can be shared with conventional device configurations.
