Definitions

  • the present invention aims to allow the realization of such a simplified installation and a coupling clamp for this installation.
  • the installation according to the present invention is characterized in that the fixed jaw, secured to the end of the clamp body, cooperates with the lateral face of the cable opposite the clamp body, the movable jaw being arranged on the opposite side to grip the opposite side face of the cable and allow the passage of the clamp coupled to the cable on the deflection pulley and that the movable jaw is secured to the end of a movable arm extending parallel to the clamp body and is biased in position clamping by a spring extending parallel to the hanger.
  • the clamp is temporarily opened during its movement in the station to allow a slowdown facilitating the boarding and / or disembarking of passengers.
  • the open clamp remains in the path of the cable, which runs between the open jaws, but it is possible to slightly lift the clamp to release it from the cable and avoid any friction.
  • the clamps remain coupled to the cable and constitute fixed fasteners passing over the end pulleys and remaining on the line when the installation is stopped, in particular overnight.
  • the invention also relates to a clamp for such an installation capable of passing over the deflection pulleys and of not being affected by frost or snow.
  • the only movable part of the clamp in this case the movable arm, performs a pivoting movement and the significant leverage makes it possible to exert significant clamping forces on the jaws or to break the ice.
  • the simplicity of the clamp reduces the risk of faulty operation or blockage of the clamp.
  • a closing spring of the long stroke gripper attacks the end of the movable arm in the form of a bent lever and this spring is advantageously arranged vertically parallel to the hanger and outside.
  • the movable jaw of the clamp cooperates with the internal lateral face of the cable, penetrating into the groove of the return pulley, so as to facilitate the passage of the clamp on this latter pulley and to avoid any risk of opening of the clamp during of this passage.
  • a cable 10 of a single-cable air transport installation in particular of a chairlift or gondola lift, is driven in continuous travel passing through the stations 13 on pulleys 11 of return with vertical axis, one of which is driving .
  • the loads in this case the seats or cabins 15, which will subsequently be considered as seats, are fixed to the cable at regular spacing.
  • Each seat of which only the upper part of the hanger 12 is visible in FIG. 1, is coupled to the cable by a clamp 14 of the disengageable type to allow opening of the clamp in the stations and boarding or disembarking at a standstill or at reduced speed of the seats detached from the cable at a platform 17 disposed at the rear or possibly the front of the return pulley 11.
  • the clamp 14 comprises a body 16 extending, in position coupled to the cable 10, transversely and on the side opposite to the side of the cable cooperating with the return pulley in the stations.
  • the body 16 carries an articulation 18 of the hanger 12 and three rollers 20 capable of cooperating with support rails in the stations.
  • the body 16 is extended by a pair of jaws 22, 24 forming a cable clamping jaw 10, one 24 of the jaws being fixed and the other 22 articulated on an axis 26 carried by the body 16. In the clamping position of the cable 10 by the jaws 22, 24, the axis 26 extends parallel and above the cable 10.
  • the movable jaw 22 is disposed on the side of the cable 10 opposite to that of the body 16 and it encloses a length of the cable 10 less than that enclosed by the fixed jaw 24.
  • the mobile jaw 22 is carried by the end of a mobile arm 28, which extends on the side opposite the axis 26 in a direction substantially parallel to the body 16 and leads to its opposite end 30 an axis 32 of articulation of a control roller 34.
  • the mobile arm 28 seen in projection on a vertical plane, is bent at right angles to the joint 26 to form a bent lever, and, seen in plan, is divided in two branches 36, 36 ', bypassing the articulation of the body 16.
  • the clamp 14 constitutes a pincer with two arms 16, 28 articulated at 26 and whose ends are shaped as jaws 22, 24, the control force applied to the end 30 of the movable arm 28 being multiplied by the large ratio of the lever arms for tightening the cable 10.
  • the tightening and loosening of the jaws 22, 24 is controlled by a substantially vertical movement of the end 30 of a amplitude multiple of that of displacement of the movable jaw 22.
  • the jaws 22, 24 are flush with the base of the cable 10 in the clamped position to allow passage on the rollers 38 for supporting the cable 10 and have a slight projection on the upper part of the cable , which does not obstruct passage under compression rollers. Needles (not shown) advantageously extend the fixed jaw 24 to facilitate passage.
  • Such arrangements are well known to specialists as well as the shape of the part 40 of the body 16 and of the part 42 of the movable arm 28 adjacent to the jaw 24, releasing a template for the passage of the rollers.
  • the end 30 of the movable arm 28 carries on the side opposite to the roller 34, in this case downwards, an axis 44 of articulation with limited movement of a cup 46 for supporting two coil springs 48, 50 coaxial , which cross with significant clearance the end of the body 16 shaped into a ring 52.
  • the opposite end of the springs 48, 50 bears on a cup 54 fixed to the ring 52 of the body 16 of the clamp by a stirrup 56.
  • the springs 48, 50 extend in an almost vertical direction, parallel to the hanger 12 and they exert on the movable arm 28 a moment tending to pivot the arm 28 in the trigonometric direction of closing of the clamp 14.
  • a plate 57 On the top of the clamp is fixed a plate 57 forming a wheel track (not shown) for entraining the clamp on the transfer rails of the stations.
  • the invention is in no way limited to the mode of implementation more particularly described and shown in the accompanying drawings, but it extends quite the contrary to any variant remaining within the framework of equivalences.
