Definitions

  • the subject of this patent application for an industrial invention is a surface chairlift for urban areas.
  • This device has been conceived in an attempt to solve the traffic problems in large urban areas where, as is well known, the problem of traffic and the consequent difficulties encountered when moving around are becoming progressively more allarming as time goes by.
  • the invention in question consists of a series of carriages guided within tracks intended for this purpose sunk into the town paving.
  • the carriages are equipped with a mechanical connector that, by means of a vertical rod, allows a fixed rest to be attached to the carriages; said rest may take the form of a seat, either single or multiple, if intended for the transportation of persons, or any other form if intended for the transportation of goods.
  • Said rest is located above the surface at a suitable height above ground level, while the carriage or groups thereof can be located completely under the ground, inserted into a channelling and guiding rail created for the purpose.
  • each unit can be provided by any means of propulsion, such as one or more suitably positioned motors (their position can be chosen according to the logistics of the situation) using a moving cable or belt.
  • propulsion such as one or more suitably positioned motors (their position can be chosen according to the logistics of the situation) using a moving cable or belt.
  • Said cable or belt follows a closed circuit through the chosen sequence of stations; appropriately studied systems of idle or motorised pulleys guide the belt or cable at every turn and along the long, straight tracts.
  • Inversion systems positioned at the two ends of the plant (terminal) reverse the direction of movement of the vehicles.
  • a rail provided for the purpose, normally situated under the ground, guides and protects the carriages; a continuous opening on its upper side permits the passage of the rods upon which the rests are mounted.
  • Rainwater and any foreign bodies that may get into the hollow of the rail can be directed into points of accumulation by means of channels studied for the purpose.
  • the working dynamics of the plant may vary according to the specific type of application.
  • the carriages may be attached rigidly to the cable: in this case a continuous structure would result with carriages moving at a constant pace, all reaching the points designated as stations simultaneously.
  • the whole line may either slow down or stop in order for the passengers to change.
  • the cable or belt may be constantly moving with the carriages in idle position at their points of departure, in other words at a standstill at the stations; when required for use , by means of a manual or automatic control mechanism, a device studied for the purpose creates a firm connection between the carriage in question and the moving cable or belt. If, in this second system of movement, a stationary unit is encountered that is not about to depart, it can be put into motion by means of an automatic remote control device.
  • suitable sensors opportunely positioned, can signal dangerous situations or partially or completely halt the plant.
  • a rack and sprocket system could be used for putting the carriages into motion without altering any of the other premises.
  • the transportation system has, as its moving unit, a carriage (1) that runs through a rail (2) created for this purpose and made out of reinforced concrete or a similar material, set below the level of the ground and bearing a continuous opening (2a) along the centre of its upper side extending for the entire length of said rail(2).
  • Each of the carriages (1) employed has an elongated form and is equipped, at its two longitudinal ends, with a set of supporting and guiding rollers (3), each set being composed of four separate rollers suitably positioned at the four different corners so as to to be in contact with the tracks provided inside the aforementioned rail (2).
  • a vertical rod (4) protrudes, emerging from the ground above the rail (2) by means of the continuous central opening (2a) thereof; at the upper end of said rod (4) there must in fact be fixed either a seat for a passenger (A) or a carrying surface (B) for the transportation of goods.
  • a second vertical rod (5) Smaller in size, its purpose being to carry a device suitable for attachment to the moving cable (11) that runs along the bottom of the rail (2); while on the upper side of said carriage (1) there is a stabilising roller (6) placed horizontally and threaded onto the lower end of the upper vertical rod (4), its purpose being to lend stability to the actual carriage (1) when in motion; said roller (6) works in conjunction with two small projections (2b) positioned laterally below the continuous opening (2a) of the rail (2), running between them as the carriage (1) advances.
  • Fig. 3 illustrates the version of the invention equipped with a moving belt where, by means of the rollers (6), the carriage (1) runs inside a box-like metal guide (7), in turn contained within a conduit (8) situated below the level ' of the ground.
  • a moving belt (9) On the bottom of the interior of said box-like metal guide (7) runs a moving belt (9) to which the carriage (1) is attached by means of a plate (10), the latter being either permanently fixed to said belt (9) or attachable thereto by means of friction clutches.
