Vibration damping arrangement for cable car

A vibration damping arrangement for a cable car of a type having a hanger device suspended from a cable and a carriage suspended from the hanger device, the carriage having a width, a length and a bottom, comprising:

• a downwardly arcuate track adapted to be suspended from the bottom of the carriage in such a manner that it does not extend beyond the width and length of the carriage;
• a base frame provided below the track in such a manner that it does not extend beyond the width and length of the carriage;
• a vibration damping body movably located on the track such that it can naturally oscillate on the track in a longitudinal direction of the track upon vibrations of the carriage;
• a first element attached to the base frame;
• and
• a second element attached to the vibration damping body for cooperating with the first element to apply a braking force to the vibration damping body, the first element generating an attracting force and the second element being an attracted element or the second element generating an attracting force and the first element being an attracted element.

A vibration damping arrangement for a cable car of a type having a hanger device suspended from a cable and a carriage suspended from the hanger device, the carriage having a width, a length and a top, comprising:

• a downwardly arcuate track adapted to be supported by the hanger device above the top of the carriage in such a manner that it does not extend beyond the width and length of the carriage;
• a base frame provided below the track and above the top of the carriage in such a manner that it does not extend beyond the width and length of the carriage;
• a vibration damping body movably located on the track such that it can naturally oscillate on the track in a longitudinal direction of the track upon vibrations of the carriage;
