Abstract:
An improved carrying facility drivable along a non-linear conveyor means in the form of aerial ropeway having, at least, a hanger means operatively, connected to at least a means (1) for accommodating passengers and/or material and to at least a detachable rope gripping means, adapted to firmly grip said means for accommodating passengers and/or material via said hanger means, wherein said gripping means includes a vertical grip structure (5, 10, 11) adapted to shift the centroid of suspension to negotiate a horizontal deviation at operating speed along said non-linear conveyor means / aerial ropeway route, without the need for detachment and/or slowing down along said conveyor means.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for suspending and moving an object or a person, said device including at least two non-aligned cable (11), a profile (12) carried by the cables, and a trolley (13) movable along the profile, characterised in that the profile (12) connects the cables together, in that the profile (12) placed between two non-aligned cables (11) defines a curved area (16), in that the profile (12) includes at least one rectilinear area in which the cable is included in the profile, and in that the cable is located outside the profile in the curved area (16) and in the vicinity of said curved area. The device can be used as a Tyrolean traverse.
Abstract:
A device for conveyance along a rail (9), the device comprising at least two traction wheels (1, 10) that interact with and move along the rail (9), wherein the device comprises a wedge arrangement (2) which, by means of a releasing device (7), is released and jammed into the rail (9) when the device moves too fast along the rail (9).
Abstract:
An overhead transport system includes a suspended railway and a motorized carrier configured to travel along the suspended railway. The motorized carrier includes a motorized trolley configured to move the motorized carrier along the suspended railway, chassis/beam configured to carry an object below the motorized trolley, and a bumper and deflection system configured to prevent the object from contacting another object.

Abstract:
A suspended access device including a trolley with a body, multiple axles through the body, each axle having a wheel on either side of the body and a monorail that includes a pair of flanges separated such a part of the body of the trolley fits between the flanges with a wheel of a first axle resting on each flange such that the load on the trolley is borne only by the wheels mounted to the first axle.
Abstract:
The Terreplane Transport System is a ground-based transportation comprised of flying vehicles pulled by a propulsion line. An important design feature of the most preferred system is that the propulsion line only experiences longitudinal forces during flight making low-cost propulsion lines possible. A propulsion carriage engages the propulsion line to create acceleration. A connection arm connects the vehicle to the propulsion carriage whereby the cumulative interaction includes the ability to convert impacting and overflowing air into lift complete with control to provided controlled flight based on the longitudinal force conveyed from the propulsion line to the propulsion carriage. The preferred method of conveying the longitudinal force is through linear motors utilizing novel longitudinally asymmetric coils.
Abstract:
An eddy current braking system has a first truck (202) that includes a frame (206). A roller (208) is rotatably attached to the frame (206) and a lever arm (212) is pivotably connected to the frame (206). The lever arm (212) includes a load point (216), a magnet (114), and a non-ferrous conductive material (224) A biasing element (220) biases the lever arm (212) into a first angular position. A load applied to the load point (216) drives the lever arm (212) against a biasing force of the biasing element (220), and towards a second angular position.
Abstract:
