A trolley braking system for smoothly reducing the speed of a rider supported by a harness on a cable or rope approaching a landing platform comprises a cylinder having a closed end and a piston slidably mounted in the interior. A braking cable is secured to the piston and routed through an opening in the closed end of the cylinder to a braking block, which is slidably mounted on the cable between the trolley and the landing platform. The system may also may also include a relief valve to release compressed air from the cylinder, so that the braking force may be controlled.

A carriage has pulleys adjacent opposite ends thereof for riding on a pair of line cables which have obstructions thereon, such as hangers and spacers. The carriage has brakes associated therewith for engaging the line cables. These brakes are such that they permit the carriage to move in one direction but automatically grip the line cables when the carriage moves in the opposite direction. These brakes are releasable to allow the carriage to be moved in either direction. Lifting apparatus is provided for each end of the carriage in the form of hooks that can be placed on the line cables and lifter lines extending between the hooks and the carriage. The lifter cables are connected to a foot pedal in the carriage which can be manipulated to transfer the weight of the adjacent end of the carriage through the hooks to the line cables thereby allowing the pulleys at that end of the carriage to be lifted off the line cables and shifted around an obstruction thereon.

The present invention relates to a diverter system to allow a line inspection robot to traverse an object. The diverter system includes a first diverter attached to a shield wire, a second diverter attached to the shield wire at a position spaced from the first diverter, and a bridge having a first end connected to the first diverter and a second end connected to the second diverter. The first diverter disengages the robot from the shield wire and onto the bridge and the second diverter disengages the robot from the bridge and onto the shield wire to allow the robot to traverse the object.

A MOVABLE SKIP ADAPTED TO BE REMVABLY MOUNTED ON POWER LINES AND THE LIKE AND TO CARRY A MAN WHO CAN PULL THE SKIP ALONG THE LINES OR OPERATE A MOTOR TO RUN THE SKIP THEREALONG. THE SKIP INCLUDES A CAGE FOR CARRYING THE OPERATOR, AND SUSPENSION MEANS FOR MAINTAINING THE CAGE LEVEL WHEN THE REMAINDER OF THE SKIP IS NOT LEVEL DUE TO THE POSITION OF THE LINES, THE SKIP HAS SUPPORTING PULLEYS ADAPTED TO MOVE ALONG THE INES, AND THE ARRANGEMENT IS SUCH THAT THE OPERATOR CAN USE HIS WEIGHT TO HELP LIFT THE PULLEYS SUCCESIVELY OVER ANY HARDWARE CONNECTED TO THE LINES.
