Abstract
Cableway installation, including at least one carrying cable supported by support blocks provided in the terminals, and actuating device for repositioning the carrying cable to periodically renew the surface directly in contact with the support blocks, wherein the actuating device is configured so as to make said carrying cable rotate on itself by angularly modifying the contact area according to the profile of the housing groove of the support blocks.
Claims12
Cableway installation, comprising:
- at least one carrying cable on which the vehicle rolls along the line between two terminals,
- support blocks provided in the terminals for supporting and guiding of said at least one carrying cable,
- and means for repositioning said at least one carrying cable to periodically renew the surface directly in contact with the support blocks,
- wherein the means for repositioning said at least one carrying cable are configured to make said at least one carrying cable rotate on the carrying cable's axis by angularly modifying the contact area according to the profile of the housing groove of the support blocks.
Method for repositioning a carrying cable on support and guide blocks of a cableway installation, said carrying cable being a closed cable secured by anchorages in terminals, comprising:
- keeping the carrying cable taut during repositioning,
- making each end of said carrying cable rotate on the carrying cable's axis with an angle comprised between 90° and 180° to renew the contact area with a housing groove of the support and guide blocks,
- and monitoring the angular movement of said carrying cable in each terminal.
