Description

L'invention est relative à un dispositif de sauvetage pour un téléphérique ayant au moins un câble porteur-tracteur auquel sont accouplées des charges, notamment des cabines par des pinces susceptibles d'être ouvertes en ligne pour une opération de sauvetage lors d'une immobilisation accidentelle du câble.The invention relates to a rescue device for a cable car having at least one carrying cable-tractor to which loads are coupled, in particular cabins by clamps capable of being opened in line for a rescue operation during immobilization accidental cable.

Les capacités importantes de transport, ainsi que la longueur et le tracé des lignes des installations modernes rendent les opérations de sauvetage, en cas d'immobilisation du câble, de plus en plus difficiles et longues.The significant transport capacities, as well as the length and the layout of the lines of modern installations make rescue operations, in case of immobilization of the cable, increasingly difficult and long.

La présente invention a pour but de faciliter les opérations en permettant de ramener les cabines ou sièges immobilisés en ligne vers une station ou un pylône où l'évacuation des passagers est simple.The object of the present invention is to facilitate operations by making it possible to bring the cabins or seats immobilized in line to a station or a pylon where the evacuation of passengers is simple.

Le dispositif de sauvetage selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte un chariot de sauvetage ayant des galets de roulement sur le câble immobilisé, un câble de remorquage attaché au chariot de sauvetage pour amener ce dernier par roulement au droit de la cabine immobilisée et des moyens de prise en charge de la cabine par ledit chariot de sauvetage pour haler la cabine le long du câble immobilisé après ouverture de la pince pour désolidariser la cabine du câble porteur-tracteur.The rescue device according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises a rescue cart having rollers on the immobilized cable, a towing cable attached to the rescue cart to bring the latter by rolling to the right of the cabin immobilized and means for taking over the cabin by said rescue trolley to haul the cabin along the immobilized cable after opening of the clamp to separate the cabin from the carrier-tractor cable.

Les passagers restent dans le véhicule ou sur le siège, dénommé par la suite cabine, jusqu'à l'arrivée à la station ou au pylône où ils peuvent facilement descendre. Ce mode de sauvetage est particulièrement approprié aux cabines de grande capacité du type utilisé dans les télécabines à deux câbles porteurs tracteurs parallèles, les passagers étant évacués ensemble et non par descente individuelle sur le sol en des emplacements souvent difficiles d'accès. Il est important de guider correctement le chariot de sauvetage dans son déplacement sur le câble pour éviter toute mise en travers et déraillement, notamment pendant la phase de remorquage de la cabine. Après accouplement de la pince ou du chariot porte pinces de la cabine au chariot de sauvetage la ou les pinces sont ouvertes pour permettre un glissement sur le câble immobilisé. Dans le cas de pinces débrayables l'ouverture peut être commandée par actionnement du mécanisme de débrayage ou par tout autre moyen. La liaison entre le chariot de sauvetage et la pince transmet les forces de guidage à la pince et l'ensemble est de préférence agencé pour maintenir coaxialement la pince et la câble pendant le glissement de la pince sur le câble. Le chariot de sauvetage peut comporter, en plus des galets de roulement, des galets de guidage, éventuellement rétractables pour faciliter le passage sur les pinces ainsi que des dispositifs anti-dérailleurs emprisonnant le câble.Passengers remain in the vehicle or in the seat, hereinafter called the cabin, until arrival at the station or pylon where they can easily get off. This rescue mode is particularly suitable for large capacity cabins of the type used in gondolas with two parallel tractor-carrying cables, the passengers being evacuated together and not by individual descent to the ground in locations often difficult to access. It is important to correctly guide the rescue cart in its movement on the cable to avoid any crossing and derailment, especially during the cab towing phase. After coupling the clamp or the clamp holder carriage from the cabin to the rescue cart the clamp (s) are open to allow sliding on the immobilized cable. In the case of disengageable pliers, the opening can be controlled by actuating the disengaging mechanism or by any other means. The connection between the rescue cart and the clamp transmits the guiding forces to the clamp and the assembly is preferably arranged to maintain the clamp and the cable coaxially during the sliding of the clamp on the cable. The rescue trolley may include, in addition to the rollers, guide rollers, optionally retractable to facilitate passage over the clamps as well as anti-derailment devices trapping the cable.

Le guidage est facilité par une fixation de la cabine dans l'axe sous le chariot de sauvetage, mais un simple accrochage à l'arrière du chariot est concevable si l'on prend soin de prévoir des moyens de guidage appropriés. Le chariot de sauvetage porte avantageusement une nacelle pour le sauveteur qui doit assurer les manoeuvres d'accouplement et d'ouverture des pinces.The guidance is facilitated by fixing the cabin in the axis under the rescue cart, but a simple hooking at the rear of the cart is conceivable if care is taken to provide suitable guidance means. The rescue trolley advantageously carries a nacelle for the rescuer who must ensure the coupling and opening operations of the clamps.

Le dispositif de sauvetage selon l'invention est utilisable pour des télécabines à un ou plusieurs câbles porteurs-tracteurs à pinces débrayables ou fixes ainsi que pour des installations simplifiées tels que des télésièges à attaches fixes ou débrayables, la seule condition étant la possibilité d'ouvrir les attaches pour les glisser le long du câble immobilisé. Le câble de remorquage peut être installé à demeure, notamment en boucle fermée le long d'une section de la ligne délimitée par des pylônes et/ou une station et ce câble passe sur une poulie motrice dont l'entraînement est indépendant du moteur principal. Le chariot de sauvetage, de préférence stocké en bout de section, peut ainsi être amené rapidement au droit de la cabine immobilisée, celle-ci pouvant être remorquée vers l'amont ou l'aval. Un dispositif simplifié peut comporter un simple treuil disposé ou mis en place à l'amont de la section, laquelle ne doit alors présenter aucune inversion de pente. La cabine peut être treuillée vers le haut ou si la pente est suffisante elle peut glisser par gravité en étant retenue par le câble de remorquage.The rescue device according to the invention can be used for gondolas with one or more carrier-tractor cables with disengageable or fixed clamps as well as for simplified installations such as chairlifts with fixed or disengageable attachments, the only condition being the possibility of open the clips to slide them along the immobilized cable. The towing cable can be permanently installed, in particular in a closed loop along a section of the line delimited by pylons and / or a station, and this cable passes over a driving pulley whose drive is independent of the main engine. The rescue trolley, preferably stored at the end of the section, can thus be brought quickly to the right of the immobilized cabin, which can be towed upstream or downstream. A simplified device may include a simple winch arranged or installed upstream of the section, which does not must then have no slope inversion. The cabin can be towed upwards or if the slope is sufficient it can slide by gravity while being retained by the towing cable.

Sur les figures 1 à 8, deux câbles porteurs-tracteurs 10, 12 d'une télécabine s'étendent parallèlement en boucle fermée entre deux stations, dont seule l'une 14 est visible, en passant sur des pylônes 16 de support ou de compression. Les deux câbles 10, 12 sont entraînés en synchronisme et des cabines ou véhicules, dont seule une cabine 18 est représentée, sont accouplés en ligne aux deux câbles 10, 12 par des pinces 20. L'invention est décrite par la suite dans son application à une télécabine débrayable, faisant l'objet du brevet européen N o 93.680 auquel on se référera avantageusement pour de plus amples détails, mais elle est applicable à une installation du type pulsé, à une installation monocâble ou multicâbles ou à des télésièges débrayables ou non.In FIGS. 1 to 8, two carrier-tractor cables 10, 12 of a gondola extend parallel in closed loop between two stations, only one of which is visible, passing over support or compression pylons 16 . The two cables 10, 12 are driven in synchronism and cabins or vehicles, of which only one cabin 18 is shown, are coupled in line to the two cables 10, 12 by clamps 20. The invention is described below in its application at a speed gondola, the subject of European patent No. 93,680 which one will advantageously refer for further details, but it is applicable to a system of pulsed type, a single cable or multicables installation or detachable chairlifts or not .

Chaque cabine 18 est suspendue par une suspente 22 à un chariot de cabine 24 portant quatre pinces 20. A l'entrée de la station 14 les cabines 18 sont désaccouplées des câbles 10, 12 par ouverture des pinces 20 et freinage pour permettre un embarquement et un débarquement des passagers à l'arrêt ou à vitesse lente des cabines, lesquelles circulent sur des rails de transfert avant d'être réaccélérées et réaccouplées aux câbles 10, 12 à la sortie de la station 14. De telles installations sont bien connues et il est inutile de les décrire plus en détail.Each cabin 18 is suspended by a hanger 22 from a cabin carriage 24 carrying four clamps 20. At the entrance to the station 14 the cabins 18 are uncoupled from the cables 10, 12 by opening the clamps 20 and braking to allow boarding and disembarking of passengers at a standstill or at slow speed from the cabins, which circulate on transfer rails before being re-accelerated and re-coupled to the cables 10, 12 at the exit from station 14. Such installations are well known and it it is unnecessary to describe them in more detail.

Le dispositif de sauvetage selon l'invention comporte un chariot de sauvetage 26 à deux paires de galets 28, 30; 32, 34 de roulement sur les deux câbles 10, 12. Le chariot de sauvetage 26 est placé sur les deux câbles 10, 12 pour une opération de sauvetage en cas d'immobilisation des câbles 10, 12, par exemple lors d'une défaillance du système d'entraînement. Dans l'installation représentée à la figure 1, le chariot de sauvetage 26 est stocké sur le pylône 16 et un portique, non représenté, ou tout autre moyen approprié perment son enlèvement ou sa mise en place sur les câbles 10, 12. Il est clair que le chariot de sauvetage 26 peut être entreposé en un autre endroit et être amené sur place en cas de besoin. Le chariot de sauvetage 26 peut également être dans la station 14 sur une voie de remise permettant son transfert sur les câbles 10, 12. Un câble de remorquage 36 s'étend en boucle fermée le long de la section délimitée par la station 14 et le pylône 16 en passant sur des poulies de renvoi et de support 38, 40 dont l'une 40 est motrice. Le câble 36 s'étend dans l'axe de la voie montante et de la voie descendante de la télécabine et ses extrémités sont amarrées à l'avant 42 et à l'arrière 44 du chariot de sauvetage 26. Une rotation de la poulie motrice 40 entraîne le câble de remorquage 36, qui déplace le chariot de sauvetage 26 le long des câbles 10, 12 en montant ou en descendant. Le chariot de sauvetage 26 et plus particulièrement ses galets de roulement 28-30 sont agencés pour passer au-dessus du chariot de cabine 24 et pour venir dans une position de chevauchement, représentée aux figures 5 à 7, dans laquelle les galets 28-34 encadrent le chariot de cabine 24. Des pattes de liaison 46, 48, solidaires respectivement du chariot de sauvetage 26 et du chariot de cabine 24 et représentées en détail à la figure 16, permettent une liaison rigide par des goupilles ou boulons 50 entre les deux chariots 24, 26 se chevauchant. Le guidage latéral du chariot de sauvetage 26 sur les câbles 10, 12 est amélioré ou assuré par quatre paires de galets de guidage 52, 54 à axes verticaux disposés au droit des galets de roulement 28-34, chaque paire de galet de guidage 52, 54 encadrant étroitement le câble 10, 12 associé (voir fig. 15). Les galets de guidage 52, 54 sont soit escamotables pour permettre le passage du chariot de sauvetage 26 sur les pinces 20, soit mis en place lors de l'accouplement des deux chariots 24, 26. A chaque galet de roulement 28-34 est associée une chape de sécurité 56 qui encadre le câble 10, 12 correspondant de la manière représentée à la figure 14. Une goupille de sécurité 58 ferme la chape 56 en emprisonnant le câble 12. Ces goupilles 58 sont enlevées pour séparer le chariot de sauvetage 26 des câbles 10, 12 après l'opération de sauvetage, ainsi que pour le passage des galets de roulement 28-34 sur les pinces 20, les chapes 56 étant pivotables ou escamotables. Le chariot de sauvetage 26 porte une nacelle 60 de transport d'un sauveteur 62.The rescue device according to the invention comprises a rescue cart 26 with two pairs of rollers 28, 30; 32, 34 running on the two cables 10, 12. The rescue trolley 26 is placed on the two cables 10, 12 for a rescue operation in the event of immobilization of the cables 10, 12, for example during a failure of the drive system. In the installation shown in FIG. 1, the rescue cart 26 is stored on the pylon 16 and a gantry, not shown, or any other appropriate means, allows its removal or its installation. on cables 10, 12. It is clear that the rescue cart 26 can be stored in another place and be brought on site if necessary. The rescue trolley 26 can also be in the station 14 on a delivery track allowing its transfer to the cables 10, 12. A towing cable 36 extends in a closed loop along the section delimited by the station 14 and the pylon 16 passing over deflection and support pulleys 38, 40 one of which 40 is driving. The cable 36 extends in the axis of the upward and downward path of the gondola and its ends are moored at the front 42 and at the rear 44 of the rescue cart 26. A rotation of the driving pulley 40 drives the towing cable 36, which moves the rescue trolley 26 along the cables 10, 12 up or down. The rescue trolley 26 and more particularly its rollers 28-30 are arranged to pass over the cabin trolley 24 and to come into an overlapping position, shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, in which the rollers 28-34 frame the cabin trolley 24. Connection legs 46, 48, respectively secured to the rescue trolley 26 and the cabin trolley 24 and shown in detail in FIG. 16, allow a rigid connection by pins or bolts 50 between the two carts 24, 26 overlapping. The lateral guidance of the rescue trolley 26 on the cables 10, 12 is improved or ensured by four pairs of guide rollers 52, 54 with vertical axes arranged in line with the rollers 28-34, each pair of guide rollers 52, 54 tightly framing the associated cable 10, 12 (see fig. 15). The guide rollers 52, 54 are either retractable to allow the passage of the rescue trolley 26 on the clamps 20, or put in place during the coupling of the two trolleys 24, 26. Each rolling roller 28-34 is associated a safety yoke 56 which frames the corresponding cable 10, 12 as shown in FIG. 14. A safety pin 58 closes the yoke 56 by trapping the cable 12. These pins 58 are removed to separate the rescue trolley 26 from the cables 10, 12 after the rescue operation, as well as for the passage of the rollers 28-34 on the clamps 20, the yokes 56 being pivotable or retractable. The rescue cart 26 carries a basket 60 transport of a rescuer 62.

Le dispositif de sauvetage selon l'invention fonctionne de la manière suivante :

Lors d'une immobilisation d'une ou de plusieurs cabines 18 sur la section équipée du dispositif de sauvetage on place le chariot de sauvetage 26, amarré au câble de remorquage 36, sur les câbles 10, 12, par exemple à la hauteur du pylône 16. Le sauveteur 62 prend place dans la nacelle 60 et par mise en route du moteur d'entraînement de la poulie motrice 40 on fait descendre le chariot de sauvetage 26 lentement vers la cabine immobilisée 18. A l'approche du chariot de cabine 24 le sauveteur 62 enlève les goupilles de sécurité 58 et escamote les chapes 56, ainsi que les galets de guidage 52, 54 disposés du côté du chariot de sauvetage 26 passant sur le chariot de cabine 24. Le chariot de sauvetage 26 est arrêté dans la position de chevauchement illustrée par les figures 5-7, et le sauveteur accouple au moyen des bou lons 50 les chariots 24, 26. Il remet en place les goupilles de sécurité 58 et les galets de guidage 52, 54 et ouvre les pinces 20, par exemple par actionnement et verrouillage du levier de commande de pince 63 (fig. 16). En remettant en route le câble de remorquage 36, la cabine 18 est amenée soit vers le pylône 16, soit vers la station 14, les pinces ouvertes 20 glissant sur les câbles 10, 12. Toute mise en travers du chariot de cabine 24 est empêchée par la liaison rigide avec le chariot de sauvetage 26, lui-même parfaitement guidé par les galets de roulement 28-34 et de guidage 52, 54. Les câbles 10, 12 sont centrés dans les pinces ouvertes 20 évitant toute friction latérale co ntre les mors. Si plusieurs cabines 18 sont immobilisées sur la même section le sauvetage est réalisé successivement au moyen du même chariot.Chaque section de ligne est équipée d'un dispositif de sauvetage, lequel n'interfère pas avec le fonctionnement normal de l'installation si l'on prend soin d'écarter le chariot de sauvetage 26 des câbles 10, 12 pour laisser le libre passage des cabines 18 et de leur chariot de cabine 24. Un câble de remorquage 36 en boucle permet un sauvetage sur des sections ayant à la fois des pentes montantes et des pentes descendantes, le chariot de sauvetage 26 étant retenu soit par l'un soit par l'autre des brins du câble de remorquage 36.The rescue device according to the invention operates as follows:

When one or more cabs 18 are immobilized on the section equipped with the rescue device, the rescue cart 26, moored to the towing cable 36, is placed on the cables 10, 12, for example at the height of the pylon 16. The rescuer 62 takes place in the nacelle 60 and by starting the drive motor of the driving pulley 40 the rescue trolley 26 is lowered slowly towards the immobilized cabin 18. Upon approaching the cabin trolley 24 the rescuer 62 removes the safety pins 58 and retracts the yokes 56, as well as the guide rollers 52, 54 arranged on the side of the rescue cart 26 passing over the cabin cart 24. The rescue cart 26 is stopped in the position overlap illustrated in Figures 5-7, and the rescuer couples by means of the bolts 50 the carriages 24, 26. It replaces the safety pins 58 and the guide rollers 52, 54 and opens the clamps 20, by example by actuation and locked age of the gripper control lever 63 (fig. 16). By restarting the towing cable 36, the cabin 18 is brought either to the pylon 16 or to the station 14, the open clamps 20 sliding on the cables 10, 12. Any crossing of the cabin carriage 24 is prevented by the rigid connection with the rescue trolley 26, itself perfectly guided by the rollers 28-34 and guide 52, 54. The cables 10, 12 are centered in the open clamps 20 avoiding any lateral friction between the bit. If several cabins 18 are immobilized on the same section, the rescue is carried out successively by means of the same carriage. Each line section is equipped with a rescue device, which does not interfere with the normal operation of the installation if the care is taken to separate the rescue trolley 26 from the cables 10, 12 to allow the free passage of the cabins 18 and their cabin trolley 24. A towing cable 36 in a loop allows rescue on sections having both slopes ascending and descending slopes, the rescue trolley 26 being retained either by one or the other of the strands of the towing cable 36.

Différentes variantes de réalisation sont représentées sur les figures suivantes, les mêmes numéros de référence étant utilisés pour désigner des éléments identiques ou analogues. La figure 2 montre un dispositif de sauvetage ayant un simple treuil 64 à tambour, monté sur le pylône 16 et dont le câble, accroché au chariot de sauvetage 26, constitue le câble de remorquage 36. Il est clair que ce dispositif simplifié n'est pas utilisable sur une section ayant des inversions de pente et que la cabine 18 est obligatoirement tractée vers le pylône 16. Le chariot de sauvetage 26 et son fonctionnement sont bien entendu identiques à ceux décrits ci-dessus et il est inutile de les rappeler.Different alternative embodiments are shown in the following figures, the same reference numbers being used to designate identical or analogous elements. FIG. 2 shows a rescue device having a simple winch 64 with drum, mounted on the pylon 16 and the cable of which, attached to the rescue cart 26, constitutes the towing cable 36. It is clear that this simplified device is not not usable on a section with slope reversals and the cabin 18 is necessarily towed towards the pylon 16. The rescue trolley 26 and its operation are of course identical to those described above and it is unnecessary to recall them.

Les figures 9 et 10 montrent un dispositif de sauvetage pour une télécabine ou télésiège monocâble à pinces débrayables. Le chariot de cabine est constitué par un longeron 66 portant à chacune de ses extrémités une pince débrayable 20, les deux pinces 20 enserrant le même câble 10 en des emplacements espacés. D'une manière analogue le chariot de sauvetage est constitué par un longeron 68 portant deux galets 28, 32 de roulement sur le câble 10. Les autres parties du chariot de sauvetage sont identiques à celles décrits ci-dessus, en l'occurrence les pattes de fixation 46, les galets de guidage 52, 54 et les chapes de sécurité 56, le chariot de sauvetage 68 monocâble étant exactement une moitié du chariot de sauvetage 26 susmentionné. Un contrepoids 70 équilibre le poids de la nacelle 60. Après fixation du chariot de cabine 66 au chariot de sauvetage 68 et après ouverture des pinces 20 la cabine 18 peut être tractée par le câble de remorquage 36, les pinces 20 glissant sur le câble 10 et le chariot de cabine 66 étant parfaitement guidé par le chariot de sauvetage 68. Le chariot de cabine 66 peut évidemment comporter une seule pince ou un plus grand nombre.Figures 9 and 10 show a rescue device for a gondola or single cable chairlift with detachable clamps. The cabin carriage is constituted by a beam 66 carrying at each of its ends a disengageable clamp 20, the two clamps 20 enclosing the same cable 10 at spaced locations. In an analogous manner the rescue trolley is constituted by a spar 68 carrying two rollers 28, 32 for rolling on the cable 10. The other parts of the rescue trolley are identical to those described above, in this case the legs fixing 46, the guide rollers 52, 54 and the safety yokes 56, the single-cable rescue cart 68 being exactly one half of the aforementioned rescue cart 26. A counterweight 70 balances the weight of the basket 60. After fixing the cabin trolley 66 to the rescue trolley 68 and after opening the clamps 20 the cabin 18 can be towed by the towing cable 36, the clamps 20 sliding on the cable 10 and the cabin trolley 66 being perfectly guided by the rescue trolley 68. The cabin trolley 66 can obviously comprise a single clamp or a greater number.

En se référant aux figures 11 à 13, on voit un dispositif de sauvetage selon l'invention pour une installation monocâble à pince unique non débrayable 72. Le chariot de sauvetage 74 est identique au chariot de sauvetage 68 décrit ci-dessus, mais les pattes de liaison 46 sont remplacées par deux étriers 76, 78 ouvrables, qui en position fermée enserrent le corps de la pince 72. Un tel système est utilisable sur un simple télésiège, dont les pinces fixes peuvent être facilement ouvertes et maintenues ouvertes pendant le phase de glissement sur le câble immobilisé.Referring to Figures 11 to 13, we see a device for rescue according to the invention for a single cable installation with a single non-detachable clamp 72. The rescue cart 74 is identical to the rescue cart 68 described above, but the connecting lugs 46 are replaced by two stirrups 76, 78 which can be opened in the closed position enclose the body of the clamp 72. Such a system can be used on a simple chairlift, the fixed clamps of which can be easily opened and kept open during the sliding phase on the immobilized cable.

Il est clair que le dispositif de sauvetage peut être modifié sans sortie du cadre de l'invention par exemple en reportant sur le chariot de cabine 24, 66, 72 certains éléments de guidage, pouvant être mis en place pour l'opération de sauvetage ou en réduisant au moins partiellement la charge portée par les pinces ouvertes en le reportant sur le chariot de sauvetage. La manoeuvre peut être simplifiée en accrochant simplement le chariot de cabine à l'arrière du chariot de sauvetage, mais des précautions particulières de guidage latéral s'imposent. Le chariot de sauvetage peut par exemple porter un bras pivotant qui en position active enjambe le chariot de cabine et porte à son extrémité des galets de guidage coopérant avec le câble. On reconstitue ainsi un encadrement du chariot de cabine par le chariot de sauvetage, mais sans passage de l'un sur l'autre.It is clear that the rescue device can be modified without departing from the scope of the invention, for example by transferring certain guide elements which can be put in place for the rescue operation to the cabin carriage 24, 66, 72 or reducing at least partially the load carried by the open clamps by transferring it to the rescue cart. The maneuver can be simplified by simply hooking the cabin trolley to the rear of the rescue trolley, but special precautions for lateral guidance are required. The rescue trolley can for example carry a pivoting arm which in the active position spans the cabin trolley and carries at its end guide rollers cooperating with the cable. One thus reconstitutes a framing of the cabin trolley by the rescue trolley, but without passing from one to the other.

Dans tous ces modes de réalisation il est indispensable que le chariot de sauvetage 26, 68, 74 soit parfaitement guidé pour éviter toute mise en travers et que ce guidage soit transmis au chariot de cabine 24, 64, 72, qui reste ainsi aligné avec les câbles 10, 12 pendant le coulissement sur ces derniers. On évite ainsi tout coincement ou risque de déraillement du chariot de cabine. Le chariot de sauvetage doit également assurer le centrage des câbles 10, 12 entre les mors des pinces 20 ouvertes, pour empêcher un frottement des câbles contre ces mors au cours du ripage, frottement qui peut engendrer une dissymétrie et favoriser une mise en travers.In all of these embodiments, it is essential that the rescue trolley 26, 68, 74 be perfectly guided to avoid any crossing and that this guidance is transmitted to the cabin trolley 24, 64, 72, which thus remains aligned with the cables 10, 12 during sliding thereon. This prevents any jamming or risk of derailment of the cabin trolley. The rescue trolley must also ensure the centering of the cables 10, 12 between the jaws of the clamps 20 open, to prevent friction of the cables against these jaws during the shifting, friction which can generate an asymmetry and favor a crossing.

Les figures 17 et 18 illustrent un mode de liaison rigide entre les chariots 24, 26 sans nécessiter une superposition de ceux-ci. Sur le chariot de sauvetage 26 sont articulés deux bras 80, 82 parallèles dont l'écartement correspond à la largeur du chariot de cabine 24. L'axe d'articulation des bras 80, 82 est disposé à l'arrière, du côté du chariot de cabine 24 et ces bras 80, 82 peuvent occuper soit une position inactive rabattue sur le chariot de sauvetage 26, soit une position active d'accouplement au chariot de cabine 24. Dans cette position d'accouplement les bras 80, 82 s'étendent à l'arrière, dans le prolongement du chariot de sauvetage 26 et encadrent le chariot de cabine 24, auquel ils sont accouplés, de la manière décrite ci-dessus, par des pattes de liaison 46, 48, pour former un ensemble rigide. Les bras 80, 82 portent avantageusement des galets de guidage 52, 54 encadrant les câbles 10, 12 et améliorant le guidage.Figures 17 and 18 illustrate a rigid connection mode between the carriages 24, 26 without requiring a superposition of these. On the rescue trolley 26 are articulated two parallel arms 80, 82 whose spacing corresponds to the width of the cabin trolley 24. The articulation axis of the arms 80, 82 is arranged at the rear, on the side of the trolley cabin 24 and these arms 80, 82 can occupy either an inactive position folded down on the rescue trolley 26, or an active position of coupling to the cabin carriage 24. In this coupling position the arms 80, 82 extend at the rear, in the extension of the rescue trolley 26 and surround the cabin trolley 24, to which they are coupled, as described above, by connecting lugs 46, 48, to form a rigid assembly. The arms 80, 82 advantageously carry guide rollers 52, 54 framing the cables 10, 12 and improving the guidance.

Certaines particularités tel que le contrepoids 70 ou d'autres, décrites en relation avec l'un des modes de réalisation sont bien entendu utilisables sur les autres modes de réalisation et il est clair que l'invention n'est pas limitée aux installations décrites. Certain features such as the counterweight 70 or others, described in relation to one of the embodiments can of course be used in the other embodiments and it is clear that the invention is not limited to the installations described.
