Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cabin for an overhead cable transport installation, of the cable car or gondola type, which may comprise either a single cable carrying a tractor or two separate cables, one carrying and the other tractor.
  • the cable cars have a single cabin per track, of large capacity, requiring elaborate and expensive installations and infrastructures.
  • Gondola lifts, in particular of the pulsed type include a series of cabins, staggered along the cable, which overcome these drawbacks, but require either frequent stops, or very long embarkation and disembarkation docks.
  • the safety equipment is specific to each cabin.
  • the present invention aims to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks and to allow the realization of a modular cabin combining the advantages of monobloc cabins and low capacity cabins, juxtaposed to form a train of cabins.
  • the cabin according to the present invention is characterized in that it comprises a plurality of juxtaposed independent modules each having a hanger for attachment to said cable, tractor or tractor carrier and that the attachment points of the hangers of successive modules are staggered along said cable and spaced so that the interfaces between the different modules are thin when the cabin traverses the sections of greatest slope of said installation.
  • Each cabin is rigidly fixed to the overhead cable by its hanger, and it is clear that the spacing between the modules varies with the slope of the cable.
  • the assembly is arranged in such a way that the modules are practically placed side by side when the cabin is on a section of maximum slope, while the modules deviate slightly on the horizontal sections. Simultaneously with the spacing of the modules, due to the variation in the cable slope, there is an offset in height of the modules.
  • a guardrail extends in the interface. between two successive modules to prevent parking in the junction area and movement inside the cabin.
  • a single guardrail is arranged in the interface in order to avoid a shearing effect during height shifts of the successive modules.
  • the modules are of parallelepiped shape with parallel faces and each comprise an individual access door.
  • a flat-face cabin joining successive modules can travel straight sections, but is unable to travel curves.
  • Such cabins are suitable for back-and-forth type installations.
  • an articulated cab which according to a development of the present invention, is produced by a combination of modules whose junction faces are cylindrical to allow pivoting of the modules one to another.
  • the continuity of the floor and / or the roof of the cabin is advantageously achieved by flexible joints allowing the clearance in height of the modules with respect to each other.
  • the edges of the junction faces are fitted elastic beads acting as bumpers and, where appropriate, seals, which participate by friction in the damping of the rocking of the modules in the manner described below.
  • the modules secured on the one hand by the overhead cable are advantageously connected together by articulated links, so as to constitute a deformable parallelogram system.
  • the modules can be connected by two or more parallel links which thus ensure the alignment of the successive modules.
  • the upper parts of the lines can be joined by connecting rods which extend parallel to the cable. These connecting rods compensate for a failure of one of the fasteners or the derailment of one of the modules.
  • the individual lines ensure a load distribution on the cable and facilitate the passage of the pylons.
  • a cabin 10 is constituted by a juxtaposition of five modules 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, each suspended by a hanger 22, equipped with rollers 24 on a carrying cable 26 of a installation for transporting the cable car or gondola type.
  • the lines 22 of the successive modules 12 to 20 are coupled by conventional clamps 28 to a towing cable 30 in a manner well known to specialists.
  • the constituent modules of the cabin 10 are all identical and of rectangular shape, with the exception of the end modules 12 and 20, the front and rear faces 32, 34 of which are curved.
  • the modules 12 to 20 are individually fixed by the lines 22 and it is understood that on the horizontal sections of the cable 26 the modules are at the same level.
  • the modules 12 to 20 shift in height as shown in FIG. 1.
  • the lines 22 are joined together by the towing cable 30, and the shifts in height of the modules 12 to 20, due to the slope of the cable 26, or more exactly of the cables 26, 30, are accompanied by a movement of approach or spacing of the modules 12 to 20.
  • the spacing of the coupling clamps 28 to the cable 30 is chosen in such a way that on the sections of maximum slope the modules 12 to 20 are practically joined to each other, while preferably allowing a slight gap to remain.
  • the modules 12 to 20 are slightly spaced from each other, but this spacing is relatively small and is limited to a few centimeters in conventional installations.
  • the successive modules 12 to 20, connected by the tractor cable 30, are on the other hand secured to each other by rods in the form of bent levers 36, the ends of which are articulated on horizontal axes 38, 40 fixed under the floor 42 of the modules.
  • the length of the links 36 is equivalent to that of the cable section between two successive clamps 28, and it is easy to see that the assembly, modules 12 to 20, cable 30 and links 36 constitutes a deformable articulated parallelogram.
  • the lateral faces 44 of the modules 12 to 20, facing another module are devoid of walls in order to avoid any internal partitioning of the cabin 10.
  • a guardrail 46 in the form of a horizontal bar extending in the interface between two successive modules, prevents the passage of passengers from one module to another and each module 12 to 20 is equipped with its own access door 48.
  • FIG. 2 which represents the junction of the module 14 with the adjacent modules 12 and 16, this junction being of course identical between the other modules, it can be seen that the continuity of the floor 42 is produced by a flexible joint 50 , folded upwardly in a U and the edges 52, 54 of which are rigidly subject respectively to the adjacent lateral faces 44 of the modules 12, 14.
  • the flexible joint 50 does not prevent the deflection in height of the modules, nor a variation in their spacing due to the inclination variations of the cables 26, 30.
  • the roof 56 of each module is connected to the adjacent roof by a flexible strip 5e which is housed in the folded position inside a frame 60 secured to the face 44 of one of the successive modules 12, 14, and forming a joint cover.
  • the frame 60 preferably in the form of a U covering the upper and lateral edges of the interface between the modules 12, 14, has a sufficient height to allow the relative deflections of the modules 12, 14.
  • the frame 60 in the form of a joint cover, has a gutter-shaped section in a manner well known per se.
  • the operation of the cabin according to the invention is apparent from the preceding discussion, and it suffices to recall that the relative position of the modules with respect to each other varies with the slope of the cables 30, 26.
  • the cabin 10 with flat lateral faces 44 is unable to circulate on curved sections implying a pivoting of a module with respect to the other, and its use is limited to installations of the back-and-forth type.
  • the connecting rods 36 are not essential, but they contribute to the relative positioning of the modules and for reciprocating cabins it is advantageous to provide at least two parallel rods which ensure the alignment of the modules and limit the lateral oscillations .
  • Other articulated connections between the modules can be provided, for example at the level of the lines by connecting rods (not shown) extending parallel to the cables 26, 30. These connections can inter alia retain a module in the event of derailment or supplement the failure of a fastener.
  • the junction by flexible joint 50, 58 between the successive modules 12 to 20 is not essential.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates an alternative embodiment of a cabin 10 arranged to be able to cover curved paths, that is to say to allow articulation of a module 12 to 20 relative to the others.
  • the lateral faces 44 ′ are cylindrical in shape with a vertical axis allowing pivoting about this axis when passing over a curved path in a manner well known to specialists.
  • the curved or cylindrical shape of the lateral faces 44 'does not prevent the upward movement tor described above.
  • the cabin can circulate on installations of the gondola type with passage of the cabins in the stations on a curved section to join the other track.
  • the modular cabin according to the invention can be used on single-cable installations in which the modules are fixed to a carrying tractor cable, or on two-cable installations, of the type shown in FIG. 1.
