Description

  The present invention relates to a cableway carrier capable of carrying and transporting a plurality of motorcycles in a cableway such as a ski resort.

  Recently, there have been an increasing number of ski resorts where sports and leisure are performed using motorcycles such as mountain bikes, using ski slopes and inter-forest trails during off seasons. These ski resorts are equipped with a cableway facility for transporting skiers and snowboarders during the ski season, and some ski resorts use this cableway facility to transport motorcycles.

  Generally, large equipment such as gondola lifts are provided only for large ski areas, but chair lifts are used in almost all ski areas. Therefore, if the chair lift can be used to transport a motorcycle, more ski resorts can transport the motorcycle. From such a thing, the technique which mounts a two-wheeled vehicle on a chair lift is proposed conventionally (for example, refer patent document 1, 2).

  In the mountain bike carrying device described in Patent Document 1, a T-shaped carrying member is attached to the rear of a carrier (carrier), and the horizontal frame of the mountain bike is hooked on a hook provided to project rearward from the carrying member. I am trying to do it. In addition, the lift carrier with a two-wheeled vehicle transfer function described in Patent Document 2 has a first wheel holding portion provided at a high side position and a first wheel holding portion provided at a high side position at the rear of the frame of the carrier. The wheels of the two-wheeled vehicle are held on the two-wheel holding portion.

The cableway carrier 10 shown in the figure is a cableway carrier 10 used for an automatic circulation type cableway, and the grasping machine 12 is configured so as to be able to grasp and release the cords 11 and the cords 11 After being drilled, it can be decelerated to travel around the station at a low speed, and in the meantime it can be stopped in the station.

  The two-wheel mounting frame 14 is configured as follows. The upper part is first provided with transverse members 15, 16 which extend laterally at the front and rear positions. A hanging plate 18 is fixed to both ends of the cross members 15 and 16 in a shape projecting upward, and this portion is connected to the suspender 13 and suspended. The frame frame 17 is fixed to the lateral members 15 and 16 at symmetrical positions in the left-right direction. In a side view (FIG. 1), the frame 17 is an upper horizontal member 17a fixed to the lateral members 15 and 16 and extending in the front-rear direction, a vertical member 17b hanging from the front end of the upper horizontal member 17a, and the vertical members The lower horizontal member 17c extends rearward from the lower end of the lower portion 17b and is formed in a U shape, and between the middle position of the vertical member 17b and the upper horizontal member 17a and the lower horizontal member 17c, inclined members 17d and 17e. Fixed and fixed.

  Lateral beams 21a, 21b and 21c are provided on the front end portion, middle portion and rear end portion of the lower horizontal member 17c, respectively (see FIG. 3). The cross beam 21a connects the tips of the left and right lower horizontal members 17c and protrudes in one outward direction, and is provided with a guide member 22b at the tip. The cross beam 21b connects the middle portions of the left and right lower horizontal members 17c and protrudes in the other outward direction, and is provided with a guide member 22a at its tip. The guide member 22a abuts on the carrier guide 23 (see FIG. 2) laid in the parking lot to prevent the cableway carrier 10 from being shaken in the lateral direction. The cross beam 21c is formed so as to protrude outward from the rear end portion of each lower horizontal member 17c.

  A steel plate is welded to each of the cross beams 21a, 21b and 21c to form a support 19 (only the rear support 19 is shown), and the rack rail 24 is fixed thereto. The rack rail 24 is formed by bending a steel plate into a V-shaped cross-section, and as shown in FIG. 1, gently lifts forward from the position of the rear end with respect to the traveling direction of the rope carrier 10 Rear inclined portion 24a that inclines, an intermediate inclined portion 24b that bends diagonally forward and downward at a position past the center position of the cableway carrier 10, and a horizontal portion 24c that horizontally projects forward from the lower end of the intermediate inclined portion 24b. And a front inclined portion 24d which is bent obliquely upward from the front end of the horizontal portion 24c.

  A front wheel guide 27 is formed at an intermediate position between the front sloped portion 24d and the middle sloped portion 24b so as to surround them, and a front wheel holding member 25 extending obliquely upward is formed on the upper portion of the front wheel guide 27. Have. The front wheel holding member 25 is formed by forming a round steel pipe, a round bar or the like in an inverted U-shape, and the front wheel of the two-wheeled vehicle 30 is inserted into this to hold the front wheel from the left and right. A rear wheel holding member 26 is provided at a rear end portion of the rack rail 24 in parallel so as to be slightly wider than the wheel width of the two-wheeled vehicle 30 so that the rear wheel does not come off the rack rail 24 in the left-right direction.

  According to the above-described configuration, the two-wheeled vehicle 30 is mounted as follows when the cableway carrier 10 is being circulated within the stop or is stopped. First, the front wheel of the two-wheeled vehicle 30 is lifted from the rear onto the rear sloped portion 24a of the rack rail 24, and the two-wheeled vehicle 30 is pushed forward in this state. At this time, since the shape of the rack rail 24 is V-shaped, the front wheel can be guided by this and travel straight. When the front wheel of the two-wheeled vehicle 30 comes to the position of the middle inclined portion 24b on the front side, the two-wheeled vehicle 30 moves forward by its own weight along this, and lifts the rear wheel and places it on the rear inclined portion 24a. When the front wheel falls to the horizontal portion 24c of the rack rail 24, the mounting is completed. In this series of operations, the frame 17 of the two-wheel mounting frame 14 supporting the rack rail 24 is formed in a U-shape that opens rearward, so that the hanging member, that is, the vertical member 17b is located forward. Therefore, the handler can push the two-wheeled vehicle 30 forward without being disturbed by this.

  The rack rail 24 is configured such that the position of the rear wheel is higher than the position of the front wheel when the two-wheeled vehicle 30 is mounted. Therefore, a load acts on the mounted two-wheeled vehicle 30 on the front wheel side. Is pressed between the intermediate inclined portion 24b and the front inclined portion 24d of the rack rail 24, the motorcycle 30 is stably held. At this time, the front part of the front wheel is inserted into and held by the front wheel holding member 25 so that the two-wheeled vehicle 30 does not fall to the left or right.
