Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0283888A2] In a continuous cable railway, the running gear 8 of the cabins 6 bears on two supporting cables 1 which extend side by side. The permanently circulating traction cable 2 extends between the two supporting cables, the running gear 8 being coupled to this traction cable, during travel, via actuatable cable clamps 24. The cable clamps are connected to the running gear so as to be vertically movable and engage from below around the traction cable which extends at the top of the running gear and can bear on the running gear between the tensioned areas, that is to say between the supports. Consequently, the weight of the traction cable does not impose a burden on the cable clamps, and the cable clamps can adapt to the position of the traction cable, independently of the running gear. Because the running gear is supported on two supporting cables, the cableway installation is less susceptible to the influence of wind and the movement of the cabins is smoother and more stable. <IMAGE>
