Abstract
A cable railroad system has a load-bearing and traction cable and a large number of chairs. The chairs are provided with coupling devices with which they can be coupled to the load-bearing and traction cable. Here, the seats of the chairs are constructed with electric heating devices and also with batteries for feeding the heating devices. The system also has devices for charging up the batteries.
Claims5
A cable railroad system, comprising:
- a load-bearing and traction cable;
