Abstract
Device for coupling a vehicle to a traction cable, comprising a fastening configured to couple the vehicle to the traction cable, the fastening including at least two rotatable elements configured to occupy a coupling position in which said at least two rotatable elements are in contact with the traction cable and the vehicle is coupled to the traction cable, the device including a variable speed drive configured to modify a speed of rotation of said at least two rotatable elements when said at least two rotatable elements are in the coupling position, so that the vehicle moves relative to the traction cable.
Claims24
A device for coupling a vehicle to a traction cable, comprising a fastening configured to couple the vehicle to the traction cable, wherein the fastening comprises at least three rotatable elements configured to occupy a coupling position in which said at least three rotatable elements are in contact with the traction cable, the vehicle is coupled to the traction cable and said at least three rotatable elements are arranged to bend a portion of the traction cable inside the fastening, the device comprising a variable speed drive configured to modify a speed of rotation of said at least three rotatable elements when said at least three rotatable elements are in the coupling position, so that the vehicle moves relative to the traction cable.
A device for coupling a vehicle to a traction cable, comprising a fastening configured to couple the vehicle to the traction cable and comprising a housing to receive the traction cable, wherein the fastening comprises at least four rotatable elements configured to occupy a coupling position in which said at least four rotatable elements are in contact with the traction cable, the vehicle is coupled to the traction cable, said at least four rotatable elements are arranged to bend a portion of the traction cable inside the fastening, and the traction cable is rectilinear in the housing, the device comprising a variable speed drive configured to modify a speed of rotation of said at least four rotatable elements when said at least four rotatable elements are in the coupling position, so that the vehicle moves relative to the traction cable.
