[0025]
In the front view of FIG. 7, the gap between the side portion 31a or 31a of the cover 30 and the roof 22 is not particularly limited and may be determined as needed. In the present embodiment, the side portion 31a of the cover 30 is used. Alternatively, the space between the roof 31a and the side of the roof 22 is formed so as to be close to and substantially in contact with each other without providing an opening.
[0026]
Next, the operation or operation of the passenger car of the suspension type transportation equipment such as a cableway according to the present invention configured as described above will be described.
[0027]
As described above, on the roof 22 of the passenger car body 20, the plurality of support members 37, 37,... The cover 30 is fixed, and the cover 30 has ventilation openings 36, 36 whose openings are gradually reduced or enlarged between the front and rear ends of the roof 22 in the front-rear direction.
[0028]
Therefore, the cover 30 blocks the radiant heat of the roof 22 of the passenger car body 20 without being exposed to direct sunlight, so that the rise in the temperature inside the passenger car body 20 is reduced. Further, with the movement of the transporter 10 in the direction of the arrow 40 indicating the traveling direction of the transporter, the inflow of the ventilation is promoted from the front ventilation opening 36 in the direction of the arrow 41 indicating the entry of the air, and Are guided to the support members 37, 37, and the ventilation is circulated, and the air is discharged from the ventilation opening 36 in the rearward direction in the direction of the arrow 42 indicating the discharge of the air. This ventilation radiates heat from the roof of the passenger car, thereby avoiding or reducing the temperature rise in the passenger car. Thus, a comfortable riding environment can be provided to the passenger.
[0029]
In this embodiment, the case of the single-track automatic circulation type cableway 1 has been described. Similarly, in various cases of the suspension type transportation facilities shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, as long as at least the suspension type passenger car is used. Is of course equally applicable.
