Definitions

  • the invention relates to a chair of a chairlift with several seats, with a protective bar, which extends across the seat and is pivotable from an open position to a closed position, and with footrests, which are arranged by means of a support bracket on the guard.
  • the invention further relates to a chairlift with such armchairs.
  • Armchairs for chairlifts have at least one seat, usually up to eight or more, for example, ten, side by side seats. 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 guards can be pivoted from a position in which they lie over the passengers (open position), in a position in which a crossbar in front of the passengers on their thighs extends (closed position).
  • Footrests are often provided on the protective bars, on which passengers can set up and support their feet, possibly with skis or a snowboard attached to them (eg AT 411 523 B and the AT 411 046 B ).
  • the footrests are attached to the guard of the armchair by means of mounting brackets and extend downwards from the safety bar between and in front of the seats.
  • the footrests themselves consist of laterally projecting from the mounting bracket rods or tubes, which are attached to the lower end of the mounting bracket.
  • the central area under a seat is substantially free and the passenger can place his legs, possibly with the skis or a snowboard fastened thereto, on the footrests projecting from the side towards the center of the seat. Since a passenger must thus share with a passenger sitting adjacent a mounting bracket with the two laterally projecting rods or pipes, it always comes back to an unwanted contact between the sports equipment of the adjacent passengers.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a chair of the type mentioned in which these problems are avoided.
  • mounting bracket extend in the closed position of the guard in the middle region in front of the respective seat from the guard down to the footrest.
  • the invention is therefore based on the replacement of the protective element by the central support bracket for the footrest on basis, whereby the passenger is relieved in closing the guard in its concentration, since he now only on the support tube with the footrest that move between his legs , must concentrate. Nevertheless, by the support tube between the legs, the safety against slipping under the guard given and a footrest available that allows a comfortable for the passenger transport on a chair.
  • a standard footrest such as in the AT 411 523 B and the AT 411 046 B shown, the feet must be moved relatively far apart with the sports equipment when closing the guard, which can lead to collisions with the sports equipment of seat neighbors again. To avoid this, the footrests must be reduced in width. But then, for example, snowboarders for their boards are no longer sufficiently large edition.
  • the footrests in a preferred embodiment of the invention form a plate-shaped support.
  • the invention extends from The bearing surface formed in the direction of travel before and / or behind the connection of the footrest to the mounting bracket.
  • the footrest in the prior art is formed by bars or tubes extending laterally from the support bracket.
  • a line-shaped support is formed, which on the other hand only extends laterally of the support bracket.
  • a wide variety of outline shapes are possible for the footrests.
  • Simple and in the invention preferred forms are substantially rectangular or elliptical outline shapes. Rectangular or other "square" outline shapes are of course preferably equipped with rounded corners. However, they are also e.g. V-shaped or kidney-shaped outlines possible.
  • a preferred embodiment can also be that the footrest has a tapering backwards, in particular wedge-shaped, shape. As a result, the legs or sports equipment are gently pressed apart during contact with the footrest during the closing of the guard.
  • the footrest consists of a frame having an opening in the middle.
  • a frame may for example consist of a bent and / or composite pipe or bow.
  • the opening in the middle or in the middle of the center automatically ensures that no snow can collect on the footrest.
  • the footrest consists of a plate, which is preferably provided with one or more perforations.
  • a grid or the like is of course conceivable.
  • the footrest may define a substantially planar support surface or a curved support surface.
  • a substantially flat bearing surface is defined in the context of the invention, for example, by a frame which consists of a bent and / or composite tube or bracket and having an opening in the middle.
  • the contour formed by the frame or its top defines a plane or "support surface" on which the passenger can park his feet or sports equipment.
  • a curved support surface may be formed by, for example, a curved plate, which preferably has openings through which snow can fall through.
  • the armchair according to the invention may, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, have separating elements rising above the seat surfaces between the seat surfaces.
  • separating elements By means of the separating elements, a passenger immediately feels when he sits in the transition area from one seat to a neighboring seat. He will then immediately correct his sitting position before the guard is pivoted to its closed position. The legs of the passenger are then automatically in a position in which unpleasant collisions with the mounting bracket for the footrests are largely avoided.
  • FIG. 1 and 2 an embodiment of an armchair 1 according to the invention is shown, which as known per se has a frame 2 which is coupled via a hinge 3 with a support rod 4 and a clamping device 5 to a hoist rope 9.
  • the chair 1 has six adjacent seats 14, which have a seat surface 6 and a backrest 7.
  • a guard 8 is provided, which is separated from an in Fig. 1 illustrated, upper and open position in a likewise in Fig. 1 shown lower and closed position can be moved.
  • the guard 8 may be either automatically by means of a mechanism 10 which cooperates with a device, not shown, provided in the stations, or manually closed and opened by the passengers.
  • the chair can also have a hood.
  • Fig. 1 With the help of in Fig. 1 only indicated, closed and revolving support cable 9, the chair 1 are supported by a valley station, not shown in the drawings, optionally via one or more intermediate stations, to a mountain station and back again.
  • the chair 1 can be either with a clamping device 5 as exemplified in Fig. 1 is shown uncoupled in the stations of the hoist rope 9 and be coupled to this again. But it is also possible to fix the chair 1 fixed to the hoisting rope 9.
  • the chair 1 has a number of seats 14 corresponding number of footrests 11, which are connected via support bracket 12 with the protective bracket 8.
  • the support bracket 12 extend centrally in front of the respective seat 14 from the guard 8 down, so that a passenger has the support bracket 12 with the protective guard 8 closed between his legs. As a result, each passenger is secured by a support bracket 12 from slipping between the seat 6 and the guard 8.
  • the footrests 11 consist in the illustrated embodiment of a tube which forms a substantially rectangular, closed frame 13.
  • a massive bracket or the like can be used.
  • the tube may be completely or partially covered with a cover, for example made of plastic, for the purpose of protecting the sports equipment.
  • the front 15 and rear 16 of the frame 13 and the edges of the frame 13 are rounded to avoid injury to passengers or damage to sports equipment.
  • the frame 13 is connected via a mounting plate 17 with the mounting bracket 12.
  • the mounting plate 17 is secured to the frame 13 so that the frame 13 - seen in the direction of travel - extends both in front of and behind the support bracket 12.
  • the length with which the frame 13 extends in front of and behind the mounting bracket 12 may be different according to the respective requirements. It is also possible that the frame 13 extends exclusively in front of or behind the mounting bracket 12.
  • the rear side 16 of the frame may also be wedge-shaped to the rear, so that the legs or sports equipment are gently pressed apart during contact with the footrest 11 during the closing of the guard. Of course, this wedge-shaped region can also extend into the front region of the footrest 11 or even lie in its front region.
  • an opening 19 is formed in the middle through which snow can fall through, so that it comes despite the substantially plate-shaped outline of the frame 13 to no accumulation of snow on the footrest.
  • the footrest 11 according to the invention despite its smaller lateral extent compared to known footrests, has a sufficiently large bearing surface for skis or snowboards. This is especially true for snowboards, as they are aligned during the ride on the chairlift usually not parallel but oblique to the direction of travel and the area that extends in front of and / or behind the mounting bracket 12, can serve as a support surface for the sports equipment.
  • the support bracket 12 extend in the closed position of the protective bracket 8 between the thighs of the passengers and prevent especially smaller persons
  • the support brackets 12 are located between the thighs of the passengers, which in turn requires a correct sitting position of the passengers on the seats 14.
  • the mounting bracket 12 in particular when the guard 8 is automatically closed, presses on a leg of a passenger, because this is not sitting correctly on his seat 14 and a leg when closing the guard 8 completely or partially below the Mounting bracket 12 is located.
  • separating elements 20 are arranged between the seats 14, specifically between the seats 6 of the seats 14, which rise above the seats 6.
  • a passenger feels immediately if he is not sitting correctly in the middle of a seat 14 so that he can correct his sitting position before the guard 8 is closed automatically or manually.
  • This central area can be a marker, for example a graphic, in particular an image, a pattern, a logo, e.g. a company logo, or the like.
  • the marker may, in a simple embodiment, represent a more or less simple geometric figure (e.g., circle, cross, triangle, quadrilateral, line) which in itself already identifies the area to be left vacant.
  • the marker can also be, for example, an image of a cartoon character or a mascot, in particular to motivate children to leave this area free by their attention is directed at least when entering the chair 1 on the image and provides an incentive to correct to sit on the seat 14 and to give the legs something apart.
