Definitions

  • the invention relates to a car, in particular a funicular, having a rolling chassis back and forth on a track laid along a ramp and a body disposed on said chassis, said body having a longitudinal plane of symmetry parallel to the center line of the track, as well as a floor and a roof.
  • a car of the kind mentioned generally comprises a body fixed to the chassis, the floor being substantially horizontal despite the inclination of the chassis climbing the ramp.
  • the floor is stepped to better follow the slope. If the funicular route has slight variations in slope, the corresponding inclination of the body, in particular of its floor, is not a problem, but these variations must be limited.
  • the terrain can impose trajectories with sections of different slopes and the inclined position of the body, which results, is uncomfortable and dangerous. The possibilities for installing funiculars are thus limited to certain sites with a substantially constant slope.
  • the object of the present invention is to produce a car which can be used on tracks having ramps with different slopes.
  • the car according to the invention is characterized in that said chassis carries a bracket at the free end from which is suspended said body by a central axis of articulation perpendicular to said longitudinal plane to allow free movement of the body in said longitudinal plane and maintaining the floor in a horizontal position regardless of the slope of the ramp crossed by the car.
  • the bracket is arranged in the middle of the body to release the side faces equipped with access doors and windows.
  • the deflection area of the stem is protected by partitions, which confine an internal compartment or box, these partitions being able to be partially or completely transparent.
  • the chassis is a roller trolley or wheels, which roll on a railway track being towed by a towing cable, but it is clear that the invention is applicable to other types of installations or tracks.
  • the bracket may be a rectilinear mast fixed by its base to the chassis and carrying at its top a transverse axis of articulation of the body.
  • the length of the chassis or carriage is close to that of the body to ensure a good seat and the point of attachment of the bracket on the chassis is advantageously offset from the side of the slope.
  • the bracket is swan neck with a convex part oriented towards the slope, so as to bring it closer to the edge of the body, towards which the bracket moves during an inclination of the climbing frame slope.
  • the space occupied by the bracket inside the box is thus reduced to a simple bleeding formed on the upstream side in the longitudinal plane of the box.
  • the width of the crane and the crane passage box in the body is a fraction of the width of the body and the corresponding reduction in the volume of the passenger compartment is small. This box, placed in the middle of the box, does not hinder the entry and exit of passengers or access to windows, especially on the downstream side.
  • the body oscillations are braked by shock absorbers and / or according to an important characteristic of the invention, they are controlled by a motor arranged for hand hold the floor in a horizontal position.
  • the motor is for example a hydraulic or electric actuator, interposed between the chassis and the body and this actuator is controlled by a regulating block controlled by a detector of the inclination of the body.
  • This enslavement keeps the body horizontal, the jack providing only a limited effort to compensate for an imbalance, due to a poor distribution of the load.
  • the precision of this command may be low, slight inclinations of the body being tolerable.
  • the cylinder and its control system are preferably housed in the pptence passage compartment.
  • a security system for example for detecting an exaggerated inclination of the body, disconnects the control, for example by setting the cylinder cover, to automatically restore the position imposed by the weight of the body and the load.
  • a car 10 of a funicular travels on a railroad track 12 with rails 14 and with towing cable 16 driven by a power station, not shown.
  • the funicular generally has a single track with a branching in the middle for the crossing of a rising car with a descending car, but the invention is applicable to a funicular with two independent tracks or to a single car or track of a different structure.
  • the car comprises a chassis 18 carrying wheels 20 which roll on the rails 14, the assembly forming a carriage for supporting a box 22 for transporting passengers or possibly other loads.
  • the body 22, of generally parallelepiped shape comprises on one or both large lateral faces 24, 26, parallel to the track 12, access doors 28, the faces of the body being glazed.
  • the chassis 18, in the shape of a rectangular platform of low height carries at its upstream part, oriented on the upstream side of the ramp, an anchoring 30 of the tractor cable 16, which extends along the track 12.
  • the body 22 is arranged above the chassis 18 while being suspended from a bracket 34, the base of which is rigidly fixed to the chassis 18 and the top 36 of which carries a horizontal shaft 38, perpendicular to the longitudinal plane of symmetry of the body corresponding to the direction of the track 12.
  • the shaft 38 is rotatably mounted in two bearings 40 fixed to the body 22 at the center of the roof 42.
  • the bracket 34 in a box of rectangular section extends in the vertical longitudinal plane of symmetry of the body 22 by crossing a groove 44 formed in the middle and over the entire height of the body 22 on the upstream side thereof.
  • the width of the bracket 34 and therefore that of the groove 44, which is slightly greater for free movement of the bracket 34, are a fraction of the width of the body 22.
  • the height of the bracket 34 is sufficient to support the body 22 at a distance "d" from the chassis 18 allowing oscillation of the body 22.
  • the stem 34 in the form of a swan neck is curved on the upstream side and the point of attachment to the chassis 18 is offset upstream of the chassis 18 .
  • the groove 44 has the advantage of concealing the stem and giving the car 10 an undeniable aesthetic.
  • the presence of the groove 44 or more exactly of the box confining the groove 44 inside the passenger compartment does not hinder the access of the car, this box may include windows if an opaque partition disturbs.
  • the mode of suspension of the body 22 does not require any modification of the platforms which can extend along the side faces with small spacing.
  • the balance of the body 22 is improved by increasing the distance between the center of gravity and the suspension point 38, in particular by shifting the latter above and at a distance from the roof.
  • This solution requires a stem 34 projecting from the body and unsightly.
  • a hydraulic, electric or similar actuator 46 is anchored on the one hand at 48 to the body 22, and on the other hand, at 50 to the bracket 34 to vary the position of the body 22 relative to that of the bracket 34, that is to say of the chassis 18.
  • the jack 46 compensates for a poor distribution of the load, for example a concentration of passengers at the front or rear of the box 22, its order being of course automatic.
  • the cylinder 46 provides a relatively low effort and its intervention can be slow.
  • the control device is simplified and comprises, for example, a detector 52 for tilting the body 22, which supplies the jack 46 to restore and maintain the horizontal position.
  • a security system can put the cylinder 46 out of service during an excessive tilting of the body, for example by placing the tarpaulin of the hydraulic cylinder, to compensate for a failure of this control.
  • the body 22 takes in this case the inclination, corresponding to the position of the center of gravity, this inclination is always limited.
  • the use of a suspension of the body simplifies the mechanism and the control of the position of the body.
  • Track 12 of the funicular can follow the terrain and among other things include a start and a horizontal arrival, simplifying the infrastructure.
  • Figures 4 and 5 illustrate an alternative embodiment, the same reference numbers designating elements similar or identical to those of Figures 1 to 3.
  • the bracket in the form of a straight mast 56 perpendicular to the chassis 18, crosses the floor of the box 22 and extends into a box 54 in the form of a wedge, formed in the middle of the box.
  • the angle at the top of the triangular box 54 corresponds to the variations in slope of the funicular track and the inclination of the sides of the triangular box corresponds to the maximum and minimum slopes.
  • the operation is of course identical and the car can be equipped with a jack actuator 46.
  • the car advantageously includes the usual equipment, such as shock absorbers, security systems and the like.
  • shock absorbers such as shock absorbers, security systems and the like.
  • the funicular described is a railway, but it would not depart from the scope of the invention to use a track for pneumatic or other wheels.
