US 2024/0174269 A1 · PARKING SYSTEM FOR A CIRCULATING CABLEWAY

Abstract

A parking system for cableway includes a feed track; at least two stabling tracks; and a transfer device to transfer the cableway vehicles from the feed track to the at least two stabling tracks including a stationary guide device; a displacement device displaceable in a direction of movement along the stationary guide device between first and second transfer positions and having first and second track segments; wherein in the first transfer position, a cableway vehicle is movable from the first track segment onto the first stabling track and a cableway vehicle is movable from the feed track onto the second track segment; and wherein in the second transfer position, a cableway vehicle is movable from the feed track onto the first track segment and a cableway vehicle is movable from the second track segment onto the second stabling track.

Dependent claims

A parking system for a parking area of a cableway station of a cableway having a plurality of cableway vehicles of the cableway, comprising:

a feed track;
at least a first stabling track and a second stabling track;
and
a transfer device configured for transferring the cableway vehicles from the feed track onto the first and second stabling tracks, further comprising:
a stationary guide device;
a displacement device configured for displacement in a direction of movement along the stationary guide device between a first transfer position and a second transfer position;
the displacement device having a first track segment and a second track segment;
wherein in the first transfer position, one of the cableway vehicles is movable from the first track segment onto the first stabling track and one of the cableway vehicles is movable from the feed track onto the second track segment;
and
wherein in the second transfer position, one of the cableway vehicles is movable from the feed track onto the first track segment and one of the cableway vehicles is movable from the second track segment onto the second stabling track.

7 more elements

A method of parking cableway vehicles in a parking area of a cableway station of a cableway having a plurality of cableway vehicles, comprising the steps of:

moving a first cableway vehicle along a feed track and from the feed track onto one of:
a first track segment of a displacement device, the displacement device being configured for displacement along a direction of movement between a first transfer position and a second transfer position, when the displacement device is in the second transfer position;
or
a second track segment of the displacement device, the second track segment being spaced apart from the first track segment in a direction of movement of the displacement device, when the displacement device is in the first transfer position;
moving the first cableway vehicle along a stationary guide device between the first transfer position and the second transfer position and:
from the first track segment onto a first stabling track when the displacement device is in the first transfer position;
or
from the second track segment onto a second stabling track, the second stabling track being spaced apart from the first stabling track in the direction of movement of the displacement device, when the displacement device is in the second transfer position.
