Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <<Industrial Application Field>> The present invention relates to a lift for skiers used on the slopes of ski resorts.

<Prior Art> In this type of ski resort lift, a hanging rod is suspended and fixed to a wire rope that moves between supports, and a bucket for carrying a person is suspended from the hanging end of the hanging rod.

Skiers can ride the lift's bucket from below the slope and move up the slope.

《Problem that the invention aims to solve》 However, the bucket carts that carry people are exposed to the air, and since many ski resorts are located in mountainous areas, snow and wind combined with cold air can directly hit the lift buckets. The environment was a bit harsh for children and the elderly. This had to be especially taken into consideration since the lift may have to stop operating during strong winds.

This invention was developed in consideration of the above circumstances, and the fact that the number of children and elderly skiers has increased due to the recent social background of convenient transportation, and its purpose can be applied to conventional ski lifts. Located on providing comfortable ski lifts.

<Means for Solving the Problems> In order to achieve the above object, the skier lift according to the present invention is a skier lift installed on the ski slope of a ski resort. Both sides are surrounded by a transparent member installed between the lift columns.

<<Operation>> Since the lift bucket is covered on both sides and above along the direction of movement, the bucket is shielded from snowfall and crosswinds.

<<Example>> Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the lift 1 viewed from the front midway in the direction of movement, in which a bucket 2 for carrying people is fixed to a wire rope 4 with a hanging rod 3. The wire rope 4 is movably supported by a guide sheave 6 of a column 5 spaced apart in the direction of movement of the wire rope 4.

A gable roof 8 supported by a support frame 7 extending from the main body of the support 5 is provided at the top of the support 5, and a windbreak cover 9 is hung vertically from the edge of the roof 8.

In this way, the roof 8 and the windbreak cover 9 are simulated.
The bucket 2 will move within the space surrounded by the roof and side walls.

The roof 8 and the windbreak cover 9 are shown in more detail in FIGS. 2 and 3. The roof 8 has an overhanging roof shape in which a colored folded plate 10 is covered one step higher on the top of the pillar 5, and transparent acrylic plates 11 are covered one step lower at intervals below the back surface. A transparent acrylic plate 13 is attached to a frame 12 that pivots and hangs vertically from the tip of the eaves of a support frame 7 that supports the transparent acrylic plate 11 of the roof 8. Above the bucket 2 is the roof 8
A transparent acrylic plate 11 is attached to the frame 12 on the side of the bucket 2.
Surrounded by 3.

Beneath the bucket 2, there are arms 14 installed horizontally on both sides below the support 5, and these arms 14 allow a fall prevention net 15 along the moving direction of the bucket 2.
is being set up. A transparent acrylic plate 13 is suspended from the eaves of the roof 8 using a frame 12, and a windproof cover 9 is attached.
It is said that The hanging ends of this transparent acrylic plate 13 are locked to cross beams 16 extending from both ends of the arm 14 to both ends of the arm of another support (not shown). Similarly, a cross beam 16a is also provided at the upper end of the transparent acrylic plate 13, and this cross beam 16a is connected to the purlin girder 17 that supports the transparent acrylic plate 11 for the roof 8.
It also serves as

As described above, the top and sides of the bucket 2 of the lift 1 are surrounded by a roof 8 and a windproof cover 9 to protect the people riding the bucket 2 from snowfall and crosswinds.

A fall prevention net 15 is placed below the bucket 2 to improve safety.

The roof 8 and the windbreak cover 9 are made of transparent acrylic plate 11,
13, so it is possible to see the surrounding scenery without obstructing the line of sight.

In addition, the top part of the roof 8 has a raised roof shape made of colored folded plates 10, and the lift 1
Since an air flow path is formed that penetrates from below through the fall prevention net 15 to the gap between the upper end of the transparent acrylic plate 11 and the lower end of the colored folded plate 10, the air flows strongly from below to above according to this flow path. A blowing tunnel effect is obtained, and the falling snow is blown away from the surface of the transparent acrylic board 11, thereby interfering with snow accumulation on the transparent acrylic board 11 constituting the roof 8. Since this airflow similar to an upward airflow has the effect of pushing up the top of the roof, a relatively strong material such as the folded collar plate 10 is used for the top of the roof.

<<Effects>> As explained in detail above, according to the skier lift of the present invention, a transparent member equivalent to a roof is provided above the bucket on which people are carried, so skiers are protected from snowfall, The sides are equipped with transparent elements that correspond to windbreak covers, so the skier of the bucket is protected from crosswinds, and since these windbreak covers are transparent, they do not prevent the skier from seeing the scenery and prevent him from seeing the surroundings. In addition to being perceivable, it has the effect of allowing children and the elderly to ride safely and with peace of mind.

In addition, snow from the transparent member covering the top of the bucket forms a snow bank that passes by the support while following the lift's travel route, and this snow bank prevents accidents such as skiers colliding with the support. .

In particular, snow does not get on the wire that moves the lift, and oil-containing water droplets do not drip from the wire, so clothes are not soiled.
