Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0445612A1] Between two ropeway carriages (1, 1') of a carriageway a shock-absorbing angular coupling bar (2) is arranged for the mechanical connection of carriage bodies, in particular for increasing the ride comfort and the safety, by inserting a shock-absorbing and flexible element, in particular a friction vibration damper (7). The snaking point has a friction vibration damper (7). In this way a shorter train length is achieved and a platform extension kept within limits. The vibration damping between the individual ropeway carriages (1, 1') produces vibration damping of the entire system so that the rail speed and/or the ride comfort can be increased whilst affording the same safety.
