Definitions

  • Striker ABSTRACT A deviation device of a towing or Suspension ropeway, including a revolving Support for laterally deviating the hoisting rope of the ropeway, on which rope spaced load carriers are secured each having laterally a transversal part, all these parts projecting horizontally from the same side of the rope, the revolving support being equipped with a plurality of rope guiding elements each being transiently displaceable in order to leave a gap in the row for the transient entrance of Such transversal part when the same passes together with the hoisting rope through the deviating range of the revolving support.
  • the present invention relates to a deviation device of a towing or suspension ropeway, e.g. ski towing or suspendingseat ropeways, and allows to. deviate the hoisting rope thereof laterally also unto the side where the load carriers secured on the rope have a transversal part projecting horizontally from the rope, which parts made a deviation untothat side hitherto impossible.
  • a deviation device of a towing or suspension ropeway ineluding a revolving support for laterally deviating the hoisting rope of the ropeway, whichsupport is equipped witha pluralityof ropeguiding elements arrangedin a continuous row in the revolving direction and forminga deviation track for the rope, each, element being transiently displaceable out. of its supporting cooperates with the revolving rope-guiding elements for lifting I the same at the place where a loadcarrier part may enter into the row of elements andfor permitting their return into the row when no carrier part has entered or: when the same has left the deviating range of the revolving support.
  • control means can be provided as.cams securetl to.thehoisting rope for. travelling therewith, eachof. these cams beingadapted to lift only those guiding elements outof their row which would be an obstacle for the laterally projectingpart of a load carrier when it enters the row of elements, and which cam permitsthe return of. the lifted elementjnto the row when, the projecting.
  • FIG. 2 shows a vertical section through the periphery of they deviating wheel of the device; with a rope-guiding element in its rope-supportingposition;
  • FIG. 3 shows a horizontal sectionalongline lil -ill in FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 4 shows a vertical section similar to, FIG. 2, with a v rope-guiding element lifted above its rope-supporting position;
  • FIG. 5 is a partial perspective viewof a second embodiment of the device.
  • FIG. 6 is a top view upona detail in connection with the
  • the suspension ropeway has a hoisting rope 1 to which evenly spaced load carriers 2 are secured each by means of a rope coupling 3 having a transversal axle, 4 wherefrom the load carrier 2 is pivotally suspe ded all of these axles 4 projecting horizontally frorn the sarne side of the rope ILA horizontally revolving wheel 5 mounted on a mast which is not 7 shown is provided for deviating the rope I from the entrance direction unto the rope side showing the axles 4.
  • the wheel 5 is equipped along its periphery with a plurality of equal ropeguiding elements 6 forming a continuous rowvfor supporting FIG.
  • each element 6 is slidably guided with a T-shaped profile portion 7 (FIG. 3) in a corresponding vertical slot 8 of the wheel rim and has on its peripheral side a groove-9 for receiving and supporting the rope I.
  • the elements 6 are made of artificial resin.
  • a ring 10 is mounted on the rim of the wheel above the row of elements 6 (FIG. 2) with space therefrom.
  • Each element 6 accommodates in a borehole a pressure spring 11 bearing against the ring for resiliently maintaining the element 6 with a radiallyprojecting nose 12 thereof in sliding engagement with an annular rim 13 of a stationary disc 14 being rigidly mountedon-the mast.
  • This rim l3 has an elevated cam portion 15 provided to lift the elements 6 against the action of their springs 11 when the noses l2 slide upon the cam portion 15 for creatingagap 16in the row of elements into which gap may enter an axle 4 and rope coupling 3 when passing the rope-deviating range of the wheel 5.
  • the nose 12 of the element 6 may be provided with a roller for moving on the rim 13. It is also possible that in the ropesupporting position of the-elements 6 their noses 12 could rest on the rim of the wheel and then run or roll upon a stationary cam mounted above the angular section where the gap in the rowof elements must be created.
  • control means being rigidly provided on the rope coupling 3 and being formed by a shieldlike shoe 20 which projects slightly above the axle 4 from the coupling 3 and is downwardly chamfered at the free end 21 and on the sides 22.
  • control means being rigidly provided on the rope coupling 3 and being formed by a shieldlike shoe 20 which projects slightly above the axle 4 from the coupling 3 and is downwardly chamfered at the free end 21 and on the sides 22.
  • a revolving apparatus in the manner of a caterpillar track could be provided whereon the elements 6 would be movably mounted and displaced to create a gap-in similar manner as described above.
  • a deviation device of a towing or suspension ropeway including a hoisting rope, spaced load carriers having each a rope coupling by which they are secured to said rope and forming a transversal .part on said coupling, said parts projecting substantially horizontally from the same side of said rope, a revolving support for laterally deviating said hoisting rope, a plurality of rope-guiding elements mounted on said support in a continuous.
  • each element being transiently displaceable out of its normal position in the row, and control means adapted to engage those guiding elements which are to be displaced for creating a gap in the row of elemerits, which gap permits the entrance of said rope coupling and projecting part of a load carrier when the same reach the deviating range of said revolving support.
  • control means are stationarily mounted in the path of said rope guiding elements.
  • control means are mounted on said hoisting rope.
  • control means are formed by a cam mounted in connection with said rope coupling on said hoisting rope and projecting therefrom unto the same side as said transversal part of said load carrier.
