DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In this embodiment, a description will be given of a case of an automatic circulating cableway using a passenger carriage. FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 show a foothill stop according to the method for installing a cableway underground stop according to the present invention.

The foothill stop 2 is provided in a basement 5 formed between the ceiling 3 and the floor 4 of the stop. The configuration of the stop mechanical device 2a of the foothill stop 2 is basically the same as the conventional stop mechanical configuration. That is, the cable 10 is guided from the cableway line 11 on the ground surface into the basement 5, is wound around the pulley 12, and is guided again toward the cableway line 11 on the ground surface. In addition, the rail 13 is disposed in the basement 5 in a substantially “U” shape in plan view. The transporter 14 is suspended by the cable 13, travels along the cableway 11, enters the foothill stop 2, moves away from the cable 10 near the discharge point 15, and thereafter moves to the rail 13.
, The vehicle is turned back at a slow speed and travels, is coupled to the cable 10 again near the gripping point 16, and departs into the cableway line 11 with the movement of the cable 10. While the rail 13 is moving at a slow speed, the passenger is treated as a passenger.

Next, an access means 20 for guiding passengers is provided between the ground and the basement 5. In this embodiment, the carriage is a passenger carriage type carrier, so that the passengers take off the skis, and thus the access means 20 uses a staircase. In addition, an escalator, an elevator, or the like can be used instead.

When a fixed circulation type cableway of a chair type carrier is used as the cableway equipment and passengers with skis are to be boarded, a sliding floor used for an artificial ski resort or the like is used as the access means 20. It is also possible to guide the passenger while sliding as a gentle descending ramp with a rug attached, or to transport and guide the passenger wearing skis by installing a belt conveyor with a gentle inclination.

The structure of the stop using the underground cableway installation method according to the present invention is as described above. Next, the operation when the underground cableway installation method for cableway is used will be described. The operation will be described.

The cableway equipment stop or the foothill stop 2 according to the method of the present invention is of an underground type, and the stop equipment 2a is provided in a basement room 5. The cable 10 connects the cableway line 11 on the ground with the pressure receiving device 18 a of the struts 18, 18.
18a, guided and guided into the basement 5 from the stop opening 19, wrapped around the pulley 12 and returned again to the ground cableway 11 via the stop opening 19,
Are supported by pressure receiving rope devices 18a, 18a,... Of the columns 18, 18,. The carrying device 14 hangs the rope 10 by squeezing the rope 10 with a gripping machine (not shown), and along with the movement of the rope 10,
From the cableway track 11, the vehicle enters the foothill stop 2 in the basement 5 through the stop opening 19. Next, near the unloading point 15, the gripping with the cable 10 is released by the stop equipment 2 a, and the transporter 14 is decelerated and transported slowly along the rail 13. In FIG. 1, only one transporter 14 is shown and the others are omitted, but actually, a plurality of transporters 14,
Are operated one after another at predetermined intervals.

On the other hand, the passenger to be boarded on the carriage 14 of the cableway goes from the ground through the entrance 22 in the direction of the arrow 25, descends the stairs 21 of the access means 20, reaches the boarding position 17 via the arrows 26 and 27, Here, the user gets on the carrier 14. The carriage 14 carrying the passenger is transported along the rail 13 and accelerated, and the rigging machine (not shown) of the carriage 14 is moved by the stop equipment 2a near the gripping point 16. It is guided to the ground from the stop opening 19, and thereafter travels along the cableway line 11 toward the stop on the summit in the same mode as in the case of the normal automatic circulation type cableway.

The roof of the basement 5 or the upper surface of the ceiling 3 or the ground surface is formed as a flat surface having a horizontal or gentle slope.
Can be used as a ski run surface or a walking surface 23. Safety fences 19a, 1 near the stop opening 19
Take protective measures around 9a etc. to ensure the safety of skiers.

According to the underground cableway installation method of the present invention, the landing space does not occupy the slope as described above, so that the sliding space can be widened.

In this embodiment, the case where the stop at the foot of the mountain is an underground stop is described. In general, at the stop on the summit side, passengers who get off the transport equipment immediately shift to ski downhill and leave, so there is little congestion, so there are many cases where there is no problem as a conventional ground stop facility, but if it is necessary If so, it can be used as an underground stop facility in the same way as the stop at the foot of the mountain.

[0020]

The foothills for cableway equipment, which mainly transports passengers for skiing, are usually located on the slopes where skiers are concentrated, so the ground-based stops reduce space and congestion. Is one of the causes. Due to such congestion, ski skiing is hindered, and collisions of skiers frequently occur. In addition, there are also problems such as generation of noise due to operation of the cableway equipment and hindrance to aesthetic appearance.

In the underground cableway installation method according to the present invention, of the cableway equipment at both ends, at least the hillside stop is an underground-type one, and the underground type is provided from the ground. Access to the underground stop is provided. Passengers reach the underground stop from the ground via the access means, where they get on the carriage. When the haulage departs from the area of the stop into the cableway, it follows the ground path as in the conventional case.

The upper part of the underground stop is formed on a flat snowy surface and can be used as a ski run surface and a walking surface.
The narrow ski slopes can be eliminated and a safe and comfortable ski space can be provided.
