Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Sessel eines Sesselliftes mit wenigstens einem an einem Rahmen des Sessels angeordneten Sitz mit einem Sitzteil und einer Rückenlehne, wobei der Sitzteil eine Sitzfläche und die Rückenlehne eine Rückenlehnfläche aufweist und wobei der Sitzteil eine der Rückenlehne zugeordnete Hinterkante und eine der Hinterkante gegenüberliegende Vorderkante aufweist und die Sitzfläche mit einem Schwenkmechanismus verschwenkbar ist.The invention relates to a chair of a chairlift with at least one arranged on a frame of the chair seat with a seat part and a backrest, wherein the seat part has a seat and the backrest a Rückenlehnfläche and wherein the seat part of the backrest associated trailing edge and the trailing edge opposite leading edge and the seat is pivotable with a pivoting mechanism.

Des Weiteren betrifft die Erfindung ein Verfahren zum Betreiben eines Sesselliftes, wobei ein Sessel mit wenigstens einem Sitz mit einem Sitzteil und einer Rückenlehne von einer Station zu einer anderen Station bewegt wird, wobei der Sitzteil eine Sitzfläche und die Rückenlehne eine Rückenlehnfläche aufweist, wobei der Sitzteil eine der Rückenlehne zugeordnete Hinterkante und eine der Hinterkante gegenüberliegende Vorderkante aufweist und wobei die Rückenlehne eine dem Sitzteil zugeordnete Unterkante und eine der Unterkante gegenüberliegende Oberkante aufweist und die Sitzfläche mit Hilfe eines Schwenkmechanismus verschwenkt wird.The invention further relates to a method for operating a chairlift, wherein a chair having at least one seat with a seat part and a backrest is moved from one station to another station, the seat part having a seat surface and the backrest having a backrest surface, wherein the seat part one of the backrest associated trailing edge and a rear edge opposite the leading edge and wherein the backrest has a lower edge associated with the seat part and an upper edge opposite the lower edge and the seat is pivoted by means of a pivot mechanism.

Ein gattungsgemäßer Sessel, bei dem ein Teil der Sitzfläche von einer herkömmlichen Position in eine Position, in der kein Fahrgast mehr auf der Sitzfläche sitzen kann, geklappt werden kann, ist aus der AT-B 385 961 bekannt.A generic armchair, in which a part of the seat can be folded from a conventional position to a position in which no passenger can sit on the seat, can be folded out of the AT-B 385 961 known.

Sessel für Sessellifte weisen meist einen oder bis zu acht nebeneinander liegende Sitz(e) auf. Um ein Herausfallen oder Abrutschen der Fahrgäste vom Sessel zu verhindern, weisen diese Sessel Schutzbügel auf, die über die gesamte Breite des Sessels gehen. Diese Schutzbügel können von einer Position, in der sie über den Fahrgästen liegen, in eine Position verschwenkt werden, in der sich ein Querbügel vor den Fahrgästen über deren Oberschenkel erstreckt. Des Weiteren ist an den Schließbügeln oft noch eine der Anzahl der Sitze entsprechende Anzahl von Fußrasten vorgesehen.Armchairs for chairlifts usually have one or up to eight seat (s) lying side by side. To prevent the passengers from falling out or slipping off the chair, these armchairs have protective straps that run the entire width of the chair. These protective bars can be pivoted from a position in which they lie above the passengers in a position in which a crossbar extends in front of the passengers over their thighs. Furthermore, the number of seats corresponding number of footrests is often provided on the strikers.

Kleinere Personen, insbesondere Kinder, sind oft nicht in der Lage, die ordnungsgemäße Sitzposition, bei der sich der gesamte Rücken an der Rücklehne abstützt, einzunehmen, so dass sie sich in Folge am Schutzbügel, insbesondere am Querbügel, festhalten, wodurch sie mit dem Gesäß in den Bereich der Vorderkante der Sitzfläche kommen. Da der Abstand zwischen Querbügel und Sitzfläche vorschriftsgemäß so dimensioniert ist, dass auch große Fahrgäste mit längeren Beinen unter dem Querbügel bequem Platz finden, ist dieser Abstand in der Regel für kleinere Personen zu groß, sodass ein Durchrutschen dieser kleineren Personen unter dem Querbügel möglich ist, insbesondere wenn sie auf Grund ihrer kürzeren Beine nicht in der Lage sind, diese auf den Fußrasten abzustützen.Smaller persons, especially children, are often unable to assume the proper seating position, with the entire back resting on the backrest, so that they subsequently hold on to the guard bar, in particular to the crossbar, thereby supporting the buttocks come into the area of the front edge of the seat. Since the distance between the crossbar and seat is properly sized so that even large passengers with longer legs find comfortable space under the crossbar, this distance is usually too small for smaller people, so slipping these smaller people under the crossbar is possible especially if, due to their shorter legs, they are unable to support them on the footpegs.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, einen Sessel eines Sesselliftes sowie ein Verfahren der eingangs genannten Gattung zur Verfügung zu stellen, mit welchen unabhängig von der Größe der Person und deren Sitzposition auf dem Sessel ein Rutschen in Richtung der Vorderkante des Sitzes und somit ein Durchrutschen zwischen Sitzfläche und Querbügel zuverlässig verhindert wird.The invention is based on the object to provide a chair of a chairlift and a method of the type mentioned, with which regardless of the size of the person and their sitting position on the chair slipping in the direction of the front edge of the seat and thus slipping between the seat and crossbar is reliably prevented.

Zum einen wird diese Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß mit einem Sessel eines Sesselliftes gelöst, welcher die Merkmale des Anspruches 1 aufweist.On the one hand this object is achieved according to the invention with a chair of a chairlift, which has the features of claim 1.

Zum anderen wird diese Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß mit einem Verfahren gelöst, welches die Merkmale des Anspruches 11 aufweist.On the other hand, this object is achieved according to the invention with a method which has the features of claim 11.

Bevorzugte und vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen des erfindungsgemäßen Sessels einerseits und des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens andererseits sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.Preferred and advantageous embodiments of the invention on the one hand and the inventive method on the other hand are the subject of the dependent claims.

Dadurch, dass die Sitzfläche mit Hilfe eines Schwenkmechanismus von einer Einstiegsposition in eine Fahrtposition, in welcher ein Fahrgast auf der Sitzfläche sitzt, und von der Fahrtposition in eine Ausstiegsposition verschwenkbar ist, kann sie, während ein Fahrgast darauf sitzt, derart verschwenkt werden, dass sie im Vergleich zur herkömmlichen Position zur Hinterkante des Sitzteils hin abfallend bzw. stärker abfallend verläuft. Die Gewichstkraft der Fahrgäste wird dann automatisch in Richtung zur Rückenlehne und zur Hinterkante des Sitzes gelenkt. Fahrgäste kommen automatisch und unabhängig von deren Größe und Sitzposition auf dem Sessel in eine stärkere, stabile Rückenlage, womit einem Rutschen in Richtung der Vorderkante des Sitzes und somit einem Durchrutschen zwischen Sitzfläche und Querbügel entgegen gewirkt wird.Characterized in that the seat is pivotable by means of a pivoting mechanism from an entry position to a driving position in which a passenger sits on the seat, and from the driving position to an exit position, it can be pivoted while a passenger sits on it, so that they compared to the conventional position to the trailing edge of the seat part down sloping or more sloping runs. The weighting power of the passengers is then automatically directed towards the backrest and the rear edge of the seat. Passengers come automatically and regardless of their size and sitting position on the chair in a stronger, stable supine position, which is a slide towards the front edge of the seat and thus slipping between the seat and cross bar counteracted.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind die Sitzfläche und die Rückenlehnfläche mit Hilfe eines Schwenkmechanismus verschwenkbar. Wenn auch die Rückenlehnfläche verschwenkbar ist, so kann in verschwenkter Position des Sitzes der herkömmliche Winkel zwischen Sitzfläche und Rückenlehnfläche beibehalten bzw. wieder hergestellt werden, um den gewohnten Sitzkomfort beizubehalten.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the seat surface and the Rückenlehnfläche by means of a pivot mechanism are pivotable. Although the Rückenlehnfläche is pivotable, the conventional angle between the seat and Rückenlehnfläche can be maintained or restored in the pivoted position of the seat to maintain the usual comfort.

Vorzugsweise wird der Winkel zwischen Sitzfläche und Rückenlehne zumindest zeitweise zueinander verändert. Dies kann im Rahmen der Erfindung insbesondere dadurch erfolgen, dass zuerst die Sitzfläche und danach die Rückenlehnfläche verschwenkt wird, oder dass zuerst die Rückenlehnfläche und danach die Sitzfläche verschwenkt wird. Es kann auch nur die Sitzfläche verschwenkt werden, wogegen die Rückenlehnfläche permanent in gleicher Position bleibt. Alternativ dazu kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass die Sitzfläche und die Rückenlehnfläche gleichzeitig und gegebenenfalls um die gleiche Schwenkachse verschwenkt werden, indem der Sitz als Ganzes verschwenkt wird. Wichtig ist, dass die Sitzfläche nach dem Verschwenken zur Hinterkante hin abfallend verläuft.Preferably, the angle between the seat and backrest is changed at least temporarily to each other. In the context of the invention, this can be done, in particular, by first pivoting the seat surface and then the backrest surface, or by first pivoting the backrest surface and then the seat surface. It can also be pivoted only the seat, while the Rückenlehnfläche remains permanently in the same position. Alternatively, it can also be provided that the seat surface and the Rückenlehnfläche be pivoted simultaneously and possibly about the same pivot axis by the seat is pivoted as a whole. It is important that the seat is sloping towards the trailing edge after pivoting.

Weiters ist es bevorzugt, wenn die Sitzfläche und gegebenenfalls die Rückenlehnfläche um eine im Wesentlichen parallel zur Hinterkante des Sitzteils verlaufende Schwenkachse verschwenkbar ist. Im Rahmen der Erfindung kann diese Schwenkachse im Bereich der Hinterkante des Sitzteils oder im Bereich der Mitte des Sitzteils oder im Bereich der Vorderkante des Sitzteils angeordnet sein. Befindet sich die Schwenkachse im Bereich der Hinterkante des Sitzteils, so kann die Vorderkante angehoben werden, wogegen die Position der Hinterkante nicht verändert wird. Befindet sich die Schwenkachse im Bereich der Vorderkante des Sitzteils, so kann die Hinterkante abgesenkt werden, wogegen die Position der Vorderkante nicht verändert wird. Wenn sich die Schwenkachse im Bereich der Mitte des Sitzteils befindet, so kann die Vorderkante erhöht werden, während die Hinterkante abgesenkt wird.Furthermore, it is preferred if the seat surface and possibly the Rückenlehnfläche about a substantially parallel to the rear edge of the seat part extending pivot axis is pivotable. In the context of the invention, this pivot axis may be arranged in the region of the rear edge of the seat part or in the region of the center of the seat part or in the region of the front edge of the seat part. If the pivot axis is in the region of the rear edge of the seat part, then the front edge can be raised, whereas the position of the rear edge is not changed. If the pivot axis is in the region of the front edge of the seat part, then the rear edge can be lowered, whereas the position of the front edge is not changed. If the pivot axis is in the region of the center of the seat part, the front edge can be increased while the trailing edge is lowered.

Eine zeitliche Abfolge des erfindungsgemäßen Verschwenkens kann beispielhaft wie folgt dargestellt werden:A temporal sequence of the pivoting according to the invention can be represented by way of example as follows:

Ein Fahrgast setzt sich wie gewohnt in einer Station auf einen Sitz des Sessels des Sesselliftes, wobei der Sitz sich in herkömmlicher Position oder in Bezug auf die herkömmliche Sitzposition in leicht nach vorne abgesenkter Position befindet. Vor oder während des Herausfahrens des Sessels aus dieser Station wird die Sitzfläche nach dem Einstiegsbereich derart verschwenkt, dass die Vorderkante des Sitzteils gehoben wird. Dabei kann die Hinterkante des Sitzteils abhängig von der Lage der Schwenkachse feststehend angeordnet bleiben oder entsprechend abgesenkt werden. Alternativ kann die Sitzfläche nach dem Einstiegsbereich auch derart verschwenkt werden, dass die Hinterkante des Sitzteils bei feststehend angeordneter Vorderkante gesenkt wird. Zusätzlich kann die Rückenlehnfläche zeitgleich oder geringfügig zeitlich versetzt verschwenkt werden, indem beispielsweise die Oberkante der Rückenlehne entgegen der Fahrtrichtung des Sessels bewegt wird.A passenger sits in a station as usual on a seat of the chairlift, the seat is in a conventional position or in relation to the conventional seating position in slightly forward lowered position. Before or during the withdrawal of the chair from this station, the seat is pivoted to the entry area in such a way that the front edge of the seat part is lifted. In this case, the trailing edge of the seat part can remain fixed depending on the position of the pivot axis or lowered accordingly. Alternatively, the seat can also be pivoted after the entry area in such a way that the trailing edge of the seat part is lowered with the front edge fixedly arranged. In addition, the Rückenlehnfläche can be pivoted simultaneously or slightly offset in time, for example, by the upper edge of the backrest is moved against the direction of travel of the chair.

Während der Fahrt von dieser Station zu einer nächsten Station ist der Sitz in dieser Position gehalten, in welcher der Fahrgast automatisch in eine stärkere, stabile Rückenlage kommt und gegen die Rückenlehne gedrückt wird.During the journey from this station to a next station, the seat is held in this position, in which the passenger automatically comes to a stronger, stable supine position and is pressed against the backrest.

Vor dem Ausstiegsbereich der nächsten Station wird die Sitzfläche derart verschwenkt, dass die Vorderkante des Sitzteils gesenkt wird. Dabei kann die Hinterkante des Sitzteils wiederum abhängig von der Lage der Schwenkachse feststehend angeordnet bleiben oder entsprechend gehoben werden. Wenn zuvor alternativ die Hinterkante des Sitzteils bei feststehend angeordneter Vorderkante gesenkt wurde, so wird nun die Hinterkante des Sitzteils bei feststehend angeordneter Vorderkante gehoben. Wenn die Rückenlehnfläche zuvor wie oben beschrieben verschwenkt wurde, so wird auch diese in die Ausgangsstellung verschwenkt, indem zeitgleich oder geringfügig zeitlich versetzt die Oberkante der Rückenlehne in Fahrtrichtung des Sesselliftes bewegt wird. Der Sitz befindet sich wieder in der eingangs beschriebenen Position. Der Fahrgast kann wie gewohnt aus dem Sessel aussteigen.Before the exit area of the next station, the seat surface is pivoted such that the front edge of the seat part is lowered. In this case, the trailing edge of the seat part in turn remain fixed depending on the position of the pivot axis or lifted accordingly. If, alternatively, the trailing edge of the seat part was previously lowered while the front edge was fixedly arranged, the trailing edge of the seat part is now lifted while the front edge is fixedly arranged. If the Rückenlehnfläche was previously pivoted as described above, so this is also pivoted to the starting position by the same time or slightly offset in time, the upper edge of the backrest is moved in the direction of travel of the chairlift. The seat is again in the position described above. The passenger can get out of the chair as usual.

Im Rahmen der Erfindung kann jedem Sitz ein eigener Schwenkmechanismus zugeordnet sein. Bevorzugt ist aber, wenn ein Schwenkmechanismus mindestens zwei Sitzen, insbesondere allen Sitzen gemeinsam zugeordnet ist. Der Schwenkmechanismus kann seitlich neben dem Sessel angeordnet sein oder, je nach dem ob die Vordekante angehoben oder die Hinterkante abgesenkt werden soll, im vorderen oder im hinteren Bereich des Sitzes vorzugsweise unterhalb des Sitzes angeordnet sein.In the context of the invention, each seat can be assigned its own pivoting mechanism. However, it is preferred if a pivot mechanism is associated with at least two seats, in particular all seats together. The pivoting mechanism can be arranged laterally next to the chair or, depending on whether the front edge is raised or the rear edge is to be lowered, be arranged in the front or in the rear region of the seat, preferably below the seat.

Im Rahmen der Erfindung ist es ebenfalls möglich, dass sich der Schwenkmechanismus ganz oder nur teilweise über die Breite des Sessels erstreckt. Ebenso ist möglich, dass der Schwenkmechnismus mindestens eine punktuell angeordnete Heb- und Senkeinrichtung aufweist, wie beispielsweise ein Kolben, die hinter, unter oder seitlich neben dem Sessel bzw. mindestens einem Sitz angeordnet ist.In the context of the invention, it is also possible that the pivoting mechanism extends completely or only partially across the width of the chair. It is also possible that the Schwenkmechnismus has at least one selectively arranged lifting and lowering device, such as a piston, which is arranged behind, below or laterally next to the chair or at least one seat.

In den Fig. 3 und 4 ist eine Ausführungsform eines Sessels 1 eines Sesselliftes gezeigt, bei dem erfindungsgemäß die Sitzfläche 10 mit Hilfe eines Schwenkmechanismus 17 verschwenkbar ist. Fig. 3 zeigt zwei Positionen der Sitzfläche 10. Die untere Position stellt die Ein- bzw. Ausstiegsposition der Sitzfläche 10 dar, in welcher die Sitzfläche 10 so verläuft, wie sie etwa bei einem herkömmlichen Sessel 1 eines Sesselliftes am Rahmen 4 angeordnet ist. Die obere Position stellt die verschwenkte Position der Sitzfläche 10 dar, in welcher die Sitzfläche 10 zur Hinterkante 13 des Sitzes 9 hin abfallend bzw. stärker abfallend verläuft. In dieser oberen, verschwenkten Position befindet sich die Sitzfläche 10 während der Fahrt des Sessels 1 von einer Station zu einer anderen Station (Fahrtposition). Der Schwenkmechanismus 17, der in den Fig. 5 und 6 besser von vorne ersichtlich ist, ist in Fig. 3 lediglich für die untere Ein- bzw. Ausstiegsposition der Sitzfläche 10 dargestellt und entspricht der in Fig. 5 gezeigten Stellung des Schwenkmechanismus 17. In Fig. 4 ist der Schwenkmechanismus 17 für die Fahrtposition der Sitzfläche 10 dargestellt und entspricht dem in Fig. 6 gezeigten Zustand des Schwenkmechanismus 17. Der in den Fig. 3 bis 6 gezeigte Schwenkmechanismus 17 ist allen Sitzen 9 gemeinsam zugeordnet und verläuft im vorderen Bereich und unterhalb des Sitzes 9. Er erstreckt sich dabei über die gesamte Breite des Sessels 1 im Wesentlichen parallel zu den Vorderkanten 14 der Sitze 9.In the 3 and 4 an embodiment of an armchair 1 of a chairlift is shown, in which according to the invention, the seat 10 by means of a pivoting mechanism 17 is pivotable. Fig. 3 shows two positions of the seat 10. The lower position represents the entry or exit position of the seat 10, in which the seat 10 extends as it is arranged approximately in a conventional chair 1 of a chairlift on the frame 4. The upper position represents the pivoted position of the seat surface 10, in which the seat surface 10 to the rear edge 13 of the seat 9 is sloping downwards or more steeply. In this upper, pivoted position, the seat 10 is during the journey of the chair 1 from one station to another station (driving position). The pivoting mechanism 17, which in the FIGS. 5 and 6 better seen from the front is in Fig. 3 shown only for the lower entry or exit position of the seat 10 and corresponds to the in Fig. 5 shown position of the pivot mechanism 17. In Fig. 4 the pivot mechanism 17 is shown for the driving position of the seat 10 and corresponds to the in Fig. 6 shown state of the pivot mechanism 17. The in the Fig. 3 to 6 Swing mechanism 17 shown is assigned to all seats 9 together and extends in the front area and below the seat 9. It extends over the entire width of the chair 1 substantially parallel to the front edges 14 of the seats. 9

Der Schwenkmechanismus 17 weist in den Fig. 5 und 6 zwei Profile 18, 19 auf, die gegeneinander verschiebbar sind. Das untere Profil 18 ist verschiebbar am Rahmen 4 gelagert und wirkt als Steuerprofil 18. Das obere Profil 19 ist fest mit der Unterseite der Sitze 9 im Bereich deren Vorderkanten 14 verbunden. Das Steuerprofli 18 ist kürzer als das obere Profil 19, damit es beim Verschieben nicht über die Breite des Sessels hinausragt. Das Steuerprofil 18 weist Bolzen 20 auf, die innerhalb von im oberen Profil 19 vorgesehenen Schlitzen 21 geführt sind. Die Schlitze 21 weisen einen unteren Abschnitt 22 auf, der im wesentlichen parallel zur Längserstreckung der Profile 18, 19 verläuft und einen schräg nach oben verlaufenden Abschnitt 23.The pivot mechanism 17 has in the FIGS. 5 and 6 two profiles 18, 19, which are mutually displaceable. The lower profile 18 is slidably mounted on the frame 4 and acts as a control profile 18. The upper profile 19 is fixedly connected to the underside of the seats 9 in the region of their leading edges 14. The Steuerprofli 18 is shorter than the upper profile 19, so that it does not protrude when moving across the width of the chair. The control profile 18 has bolts 20 which are guided within provided in the upper profile 19 slots 21. The slots 21 have a lower portion 22 which extends substantially parallel to the longitudinal extent of the profiles 18, 19 and an obliquely upwardly extending portion 23rd

Im unverschwenkten Zustand der Sitzfläche 9 befindet sich das in den Fig. 5 und 6 gezeigte rechte Ende des Steuerprofil 18 im Bereich des rechten Endes des oberen Profils 19, wobei die Bolzen 20 des Steuerprofils 18 im oberen Ende der schrägen Abschnitte 23 der Schlitze 21 angeordnet sind. Wenn das Steuerprofil 18 in den Fig. 5 und 6 nach links verschoben wird, so dass dann das linke Ende des Steuerprofils 18 sich im Bereich des linken Endes des oberen Profils 19 befindet, so wird auf Grund des schrägen Abschnittes 23 der Schlitze 21 das obere Profil 19 nach oben aber nicht zu Seite hin verschoben. Das obere Profil 19 bleibt mit Sicherheit in dieser Position, ohne sich ungewollt abzusenken, da die Bolzen am äußeren Ende des unteren Abschnittes 22 der Schlitze 21, der keine vertikale Bewegung erlaubt, anliegen. Das obere Profil 19 und damit die Vorderkante 14 des Sitzes 9 können erst wieder abgesenkt werden, wenn das Steuerprofil 18 wieder zurück verschoben wird.In the unverschwenkten state of the seat 9 is located in the FIGS. 5 and 6 shown right end of the control profile 18 in the region of the right end of the upper profile 19, wherein the bolts 20 of the control profile 18 in the upper end of the inclined portions 23 of the slots 21 are arranged. If the control profile 18 in the FIGS. 5 and 6 is shifted to the left, so that then the left end of the control profile 18 is located in the region of the left end of the upper profile 19, so the upper profile 19 is moved upwards but not to the side due to the oblique portion 23 of the slots 21. The upper profile 19 will certainly remain in this position without undesirably lowering, as the bolts abut the outer end of the lower portion 22 of the slots 21, which does not allow vertical movement. The upper profile 19 and thus the front edge 14 of the seat 9 can only be lowered again when the control profile 18 is moved back again.

In dieser Ausführungsform wird nur die Sitzfläche 10 verschwenkt, indem die Vorderkante 14 des Sitzes 9 angehoben wird, wobei Schwenkachse 24 im Bereich der Hinterkante 13 des Sitzteils 31 angeordnet ist.In this embodiment, only the seat 10 is pivoted by the front edge 14 of the seat 9 is raised, wherein the pivot axis 24 is arranged in the region of the rear edge 13 of the seat part 31.

Die Betätigung des Schwenkmechanismus 17 kann mit Hilfe einer in einer Station angeordneten Einrichtung, wie beispielsweiser durch Kupplung mit dem Mechanismus 3 zum Betätigen des Schutzbügels 2 (Fig. 1 und 2) erfolgen. Hierzu kann der Mechanismus 3 zum Betätigen des Schutzbügels 2 beispielsweise mit einem Kabelzug 25 ausgestattet sein, der entweder direkt oder indirekt, beispielsweise über eine Einrichtung 26 zum Schließen und Blockieren des Öffnens des Schutzbügels 2, das Verschieben des Steuerprofils 18 bewirkt.The actuation of the pivoting mechanism 17 can be achieved by means of a device arranged in a station, for example by coupling with the mechanism 3 for actuating the safety bar 2 (FIG. Fig. 1 and 2 ) respectively. For this purpose, the mechanism 3 for actuating the protective bow 2 can be equipped, for example, with a cable pull 25 which effects the displacement of the control profile 18 either directly or indirectly, for example via a device 26 for closing and blocking the opening of the protective strap 2.

Mit Bezug auf die Fig. 1, 2 und 7 kann das Betätigen des Verschwenkmechanismus 17 dargestellt werden wie folgt:With reference to the Fig. 1, 2 and 7 For example, the operation of the pivoting mechanism 17 can be represented as follows:

Der Mechanismus 3 zum Betätigen des Schutzbügels 2 weist eine Führungsrolle 27 auf und wird über diese angehoben (Fig. 2), wenn der Sessel 1 einen Bereich mit einer der Führungsrolle 27 zugeordneten Führungseinrichtung, insbesondere Führungsschiene, durchfährt, die im Auslaufbereich aus einer Station angeordnet ist. Vor oder im Einlaufbereich der Station ist eine weitere Führungseinrichtung, beispielsweise Führungsschiene, angeordnet, welche die Führungsrolle 27 wieder in die in Fig. 1 dargestellte, abgesenkte Stellung bewegt. Vom Mechanismus 3 zum Betätigen des Schutzbügels 2 verläuft eine Stange 28, die mit einem Bowdenzug 29 verbunden ist, der seinerseits mit einer zweiten Stange 30 verbunden ist.The mechanism 3 for actuating the safety bar 2 has a guide roller 27 and is raised above it (FIG. Fig. 2 ), when the chair 1 passes through an area with a guide means 27 associated guide means, in particular guide rail, which is arranged in the outlet area of a station. Before or in the inlet region of the station, a further guide device, such as guide rail, arranged, which the guide roller 27 back into the in Fig. 1 shown, lowered position moves. From the mechanism 3 for actuating the safety bar 2 extends a rod 28 which is connected to a Bowden cable 29, which in turn is connected to a second rod 30.

Bei Einfahrt des Sessels 1 in eine Station ist die Sitzfläche 9 nach oben verschwenkt. Wenn die Führungsrolle 27 vor oder im Einfahrtsbereich einer Station wie in Fig. 1 abgesenkt wird, so drücken der Mechanismus 3 zum Betätigen des Schutzbügels 2 und der Bowdenzug 29 die Stange 30 derart nach unten, dass die Einrichtung 26 zum Blockieren des Öffnens des Schutzbügels 2 deaktiviert und der Schutzbügel 2 geöffnet wird.Upon entry of the chair 1 in a station, the seat 9 is pivoted upwards. If the guide roller 27 in front of or in the entrance area of a station as in Fig. 1 is lowered, so press the mechanism 3 for actuating the guard 2 and the Bowden cable 29 the Rod 30 down so that the device 26 is disabled to block the opening of the guard 2 and the guard 2 is opened.

Die Stange 30 steht direkt oder indirekt mit dem Kabelzug 25 in Verbindung. Der Kabelzug 25 wirkt beim Öffnen des Schutzbügels 2 derart auf die Schwenkeinrichtung 17, dass das Steuerprofil 18 in der Weise (in Fig. 5 und 6 nach rechts) verschoben wird, dass die Bolzen 22 des Steuerprofils 18 gegen das obere Ende des schrägen Abschnittes 23 der Schlitze 21 des oberen Profils 19 verschoben werden. Somit wird das obere Profil 18 und damit die Vorderkante 14 des Sitzes 9 im Bereich der Station abgesenkt, wogegen die Schwenkachse 24 im Bereich der Hinterkante 13 des Sitzteils 31 angeordnet ist.The rod 30 is directly or indirectly connected to the cable 25 in connection. The cable 25 acts on the opening of the guard 2 so on the pivoting device 17 that the control profile 18 in the manner (in FIGS. 5 and 6 to the right) is shifted, that the bolts 22 of the control profile 18 against the upper end of the inclined portion 23 of the slots 21 of the upper profile 19 are moved. Thus, the upper profile 18 and thus the front edge 14 of the seat 9 is lowered in the region of the station, whereas the pivot axis 24 is arranged in the region of the trailing edge 13 of the seat part 31.

Bei Ausfahrt des Sessels 1 aus der Station wird die Führungsrolle 27 angehoben, wobei die Stange 30 nach oben gezogen wird und die Einrichtung 26 zum Schließen des Schutzbügels 2 aktiviert. Der Kabelzug 25 wirkt beim Schließen des Schutzbügels 2 derart auf die Schwenkeinrichtung, dass das Steuerprofil 18 in der Weise (in Fig. 5 und 6 nach links) zurückverschoben wird, dass die Bolzen 22 des Steuerprofils 18 gegen das untere Ende des im Wesentlichen horizontelen Abschnittes 22 der Schlitze 21 des oberen Profils 19 verschoben werden. Somit wird das obere Profil 18 und damit die Vorderkante 14 des Sitzes 9 im Bereich der Station angehoben, wogegen die Hinterkante 13 des Sitzes 9 gleichbleibend angeordnet ist. Diese Position hält der Sitz 9 während der Fahrt bis zum Einlauf in die nächste Station bei.Upon exit of the chair 1 from the station, the guide roller 27 is raised, the rod 30 is pulled upwards and activates the means 26 for closing the guard 2. The cable 25 acts on closing the guard 2 so on the pivoting device that the control profile 18 in the manner (in FIGS. 5 and 6 to the left), that the bolts 22 of the control profile 18 against the lower end of the substantially horizontal portion 22 of the slots 21 of the upper profile 19 are moved. Thus, the upper profile 18 and thus the front edge 14 of the seat 9 is raised in the region of the station, whereas the trailing edge 13 of the seat 9 is arranged consistently. This position keeps the seat 9 while driving to the entrance to the next station.

Zusammenfassend kann ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wie folgt beschrieben werden:In summary, an embodiment of the invention can be described as follows:

Die Sitzfläche 10 eines Sessels 1 eines Sesselliftes ist mit Hilfe eines Schwenkmechanismus 17 verschwenkbar. Somit kann sie, während ein Fahrgast darauf sitzt, derart verschwenkt werden, dass sie zur Hinterkante 13 des Sitzteils 31 hin abfallend bzw. stärker abfallend verläuft. Fahrgäste kommen automatisch und unabhängig von deren Größe und Sitzposition auf dem Sessel 1 in eine stärkere, stabile Rückenlage, womit einem Rutschen in Richtung der Vorderkante 14 des Sitzteils 31 und somit einem Durchrutschen zwischen Sitzfläche 10 und Querbügel zuverlässig entgegengewirkt wird.The seat 10 of an armchair 1 of a chairlift is pivotable by means of a pivoting mechanism 17. Thus, while a passenger is sitting on it, it can be pivoted so that it is sloping towards the trailing edge 13 of the seat part 31 and more sloping. Passengers come automatically and regardless of their size and sitting position on the chair 1 in a stronger, stable supine position, which is reliably counteracts slipping in the direction of the front edge 14 of the seat part 31 and thus slippage between the seat 10 and crossbar.
