209 SYSTEM FOR MONITORING A PLURALITY OF SENSORS US12046587 2008-03-12 US20090231123A1 2009-09-17 Shane Morse Rowell; Anthony Edward Develice; Timothy Allen Christensen
A monitoring system for detecting faults in an apparatus, such as a ski lift, employs a communication network onto which a sensor bus controller periodically transmits a safety message and receives a echo of each safety message. Different sensors are coupled to sensor adapter modules that in turn are connected in a series to the communication network. After the last sensor adapter module in the series, each safety message is echoed back along the communication network. Each sensor adapter module, upon receiving a safety message, increments a count in that message and transmits the resultant safety message to another module. When a sensor indicates a fault condition, the associated sensor adapter module blocks propagation of safety messages along the communication network. The sensor bus controller determines, in response to a failure to receive the echo and to the count in the echo, whether a fault occurred.
210 Device for guiding an aerial rope of a mechanical lift installation comprising means for automatic stopping of the installation US12216771 2008-07-10 US20090039326A1 2009-02-12 Thierry Triolier; Laurent Bonifat
A device for guiding an aerial rope of a mechanical lift installation in which said rope, driven by a driving pulley set in motion by a drive motor, is equipped with roller sheaves for guiding the rope, mounted rotating on a support frame. Each guiding roller sheave comprises a sheave body delineating an annular groove at its periphery and a band with a high friction coefficient housed in the groove of the sheave body. The device comprises, associated with at least one of said sheaves, automatic detection means of a predefined wear threshold of the band of said associated sheave, and means for automatic stopping of said drive motor when said threshold is detected. The automatic detection means are formed by an electrically conducting element electrically insulated with respect to the sheave assembly and connected to the latter by fixing means in a transverse position where the rope automatically comes into contact with said element when the band of the associated sheave reaches the predefined wear threshold.
211 Zipline braking and motion-arrest system US11055071 2005-02-11 US07381137B2 2008-06-03 Robert L. Steele; Charles Z. Steele; David E. Udow
Braking and motion-arrest apparatus for braking the arrival of a zipline cable rider at a landing platform and arresting the rider's motion to retain the rider at the platform. A frame is mounted on the cable to allow longitudinal rolling movement of the frame along the cable. A self-closing one-way latch is provided at the forward end of the frame. The latch includes a pair of capture plates which are normally inwardly biased toward one another, on opposite sides of the cable. The rider is tethered to a pulley block which rolls along the cable and collides with the latch. The collision force drives the plates laterally away from the cable, allowing the pulley block to roll through the latch. After the pulley block rolls past the latch, the plates' normal biasing closes the latch, preventing the pulley block from rolling back through the latch.
212 Method for controlling a braking unit of a rope transport installation and braking unit US11822668 2007-07-09 US20080029348A1 2008-02-07 Jean-Paul Huard; Daniel Michel; Jean-Christophe Chouvellon
The invention relates to a method for controlling a braking unit of a rope transport installation. The command signals of a first braking means are modulated, until the installation is stopped, by means of a first modulation circuit integrated in the control unit to automatically regulate the running speed of the rope according to a first predetermined deceleration setpoint curve activated by said braking order. The command signals of a second braking means are simultaneously modulated by means of a second modulation circuit integrated in the control unit to automatically regulate the running speed of the rope according to a second predetermined deceleration setpoint curve activated by said braking order, the instantaneous value of the second setpoint curve being at all times greater than the value of the first setpoint curve.The invention also relates to a braking unit of a rope transport installation enabling the method to be applied.

The running surface is formed with an elastically deformable region which is assigned a measuring configuration with which it is possible to measure the deformation of the running surface on account of the compressive force which is produced by the spring-energy storage device, acts on the guide surface via the actuating roller and corresponds to the clamping force. In this case, the measuring configuration is formed by at least two measuring units that function in different ways.

The detector includes a magnet disposed to face the wire rope, two magnetoelectric conversion units disposed relative to a pitch of lays of the wire rope to produce two output voltages having ripple components caused by the pitch of lays and being opposite to each other in terms of phase, and a circuit unit connected to the magnetoelectric conversion units for detecting displacement degrees of the wire rope from the pulley according to the output voltages and adding the output voltages so that said ripple components of opposite phases offset each other thereby removing effects of said pitch of lays.
217 Shock absorbing structure for a stretched cable, particularly for cable retaining rock wall fences, rock fill retaining grids or fences, snow fences, and the like US807986 1991-12-16 US5207302A 1993-05-04 Xaver Popp; Theo Loepfe
To permit absorption of sudden impacts or shock overloads, or gradual overloads, on a cable stretched to retain stones, rocks or snow masses, for example in road or railway cuts, a tube is bent to form an open loop, the end portions of which are held together by a clamp so that the end portions are frictionally engaged against each other, and the cable is threaded through the tube. Upon overload, the tube can plastically deform, thereby reducing the diameter of the loop or ring formed thereby, and accept overloads without overloading or unduly stressing the cable.
