The invention relates to an aerial cable car system (1) having transportation operating equipment for passenger and/or freight transport, wherein electrical consumers are connected for the operation thereof to a rechargeable electrical energy store (14) of a transportation operating equipment (13) by means of one each of a plurality of the power circuits, wherein the transportation operating equipment (13) comprises an operating control device (140) connected to measuring devices (1400) for dynamically capturing measurement values based on the available quantity of energy in the energy store (14), wherein the operating control device (140) comprises a storage module (1401) having at least one stored measurement control value and an associated control parameter, wherein the operating control device (140) comprises a filter module (1402) for comparing a captured measurement value to the at least one stored measurement control value and for reading out the corresponding stored control parameter, based on which power circuits (30) can be selectively coupled to the energy store (14) or selectively decoupled from the same by means of the operating control device (140). Electrical consumers in transportation operating equipment (13) can be fed without interruption by means of the energy store (14), even during travel. A safety power circuit can also be implemented, by means of which, for example, mountain information devices can be operated in case of emergency even if the energy store (14) has a minimal energy reserve. |

A display system is easily attached to the safety bar of a chair on a chair lift system at the beginning of a season. The display system includes brackets formed of rails holding clamp portions that may be fastened together to clamp the display system to a chair, such as to the safety bar across the lap of a rider. At the end of a season, the display system may be removed from each chair, the clamp portions removed, and the display systems stacked. In one simplified system, adjacent displays may be stacked back to back, and such adjacent pairs may be stacked with the displays in adjacent pairs positioned face-to-face. Thus, metal brackets on the backs need not scratch up the reading faces or surfaces. Meanwhile, the displays may be stored in minimal space, with great stability, while minimizing wear and damage. |

A canopy tour system follow a route including multiple legs of track line, and may run multiple track lines in parallel along each leg, establishing the route of descent. Each leg extends between an associated upper station and lower station, used for loading, launching, receiving, and unclipping, respectively, riders of trolleys on the zip lines. A system of mechanical and electronic interlocks provides safety for users in remote locations, enabling individual riders to operate trolleys, including attaching and dis-attaching the trolleys from various track lines, unattended by other workers or employees of the canopy tour operation. Multiple trolleys may travel simultaneously and in close proximity to one another as a group on a single line. Each group traveling together is controlled by a single braking trolley ahead, behind, or in the midst of the group. |

In a continuously moving cableway installation (9), a haul rope (13b) extends as a closed loop defining a transportation path (12). Suspended vehicles (14) can be connected to the rope by means of automatic coupling devices (24). Along the rope path, passenger stations (10) are provided, each providing ramps (22) to cause the clamping or release of the automatic coupling devices (24), fixed power supply conductors (30), and overhead rails (28). Mounted on board each vehicle (14) are: a motor-driven trolley (20), an electrical contact (30a) to contact one of the power supply conductors (30) in the passenger stations (10), an electric power battery (43), and an electric motor (42) with driving wheels (40) associated thereto, which are suitable for rolling on the overhead rails (28) in order to move the vehicle within and proximate to the passenger stations. |

This seat includes a guard-rail able to occupy a lowered first extreme position and a raised second extreme position, and means for locking the guard rail when it is in a lowered position. The locking means include a bistable electromagnet provided with a rod that is able to move between a stable first position in which the rod allows the guard rail to lock in the lowered position by interposing an obstacle in the upward path described by a guard rail element to pass from the lowered position to the raised position, and a stable second position in which the rod allows the guard rail to unlock so that it can be moved into the raised position by moving the obstacle away from the upward path described by the guard rail element. |
