Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0093680A1] 1. Overhead cable transport installation, namely a gondola lift with gondolas (24) coupled in line to two parallel continuous motion suspension/haulage cables (10, 12), by means of a suspension bar (46) hanging in the vertical plane equidistant of the two cables and articulated on a carriage (48) fitted with at least one pair of detachable grips (50-56) intended to connect the carriage (48) to the two cables in line and to disconnect the gondola (24) inside the terminals by detachment of the grips (50-56), so as to allow for embarkation and desembarkation of the passengers at null or reduced speed, characterized by the fact that every grip (50-56) has a body (63) that rests on the upper face of the cable (10, 12) in closed position of the grip and protrudes slightly upwards, and a pair of jaws (60, 62) protruding downwards from said body (63) and opening in downwards direction to clamp the sides of the cable, the end of the jaws coming level with, or protruding slightly lower than the lower face of the cable, in order to facilitate passing over or under the cable support rollers (42), and that inside the terminals (14, 15) guide rollers (92) deviate said cables so as to modify their clearance to each other and so to allow for passage of the carriage (48) disconnected from the cables from a position above the cable towards a lower position, or inversely.
