Definitions

  • This invention relates to the operation of suspended or otherwise supportedvehicles, such as tram cars, by means ottravelling ropes or cables, and has among its objects to provide novel means for bringinga car from a state of rest gradually up to the rate of speed of the main power rope or cable in instances where the main power rope moves constantly at a fixed or substantially fixed rate of speed; to provide for either automatic or manual coupling of the car to the main power rope when the car has attained either the speed of the main power rope or any other suitable or desired speed; to provide for either automatic or manual disconnection of the car from the means for'initiating movement thereof, and to provide means of a simple, reliable and thoroughly practicable nature to accomplish such purposes.
  • Figure 1 is a view partly in elevation and partly in transverse section illustrating the car equipment in accordance with a practical embodiment of the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a diagrammatic side elevation illustrating different operative positions of the car.
  • car designated generally as 10, is equipped with a trolley 11 and by means of said trolley is suspended from a rail 12 for travel therealong.
  • Power for moving the car 10 along the rail 12 is furnished by a main power rope or cable designated as a, and a secondary power rope or cable designated as F), these ropes or cables extending in side toside spaced relation below the rail 12 and being driven in any suitable or desired manner not entering into the invention.
  • the main power rope (it travels constantly at a fixed or substantially fixed rate of speed,
  • rope b is variable between minimum and maximum speeds, the maximum speed thereof preferably being equal or substantially equal to the normal speed of travel of the main power rope a, and-the minimum speed thereof being either zero or any relatively low speed desired.
  • the rope a travels at a given rate of speed
  • the rope 6 starting from a state of rest or from its lowest speed, gradually increases in speed to the speed of the rope a, slows down or latter is in a state of rest or is travelling at a relatively low rate of speed, be brought by said cable gradually up to the speed of travel of the cable a and then be coupled to the latter cable, whereby all shocks such as would occur by a coupling of the car initially with the cable a may be avoided.
  • the means for coupling the car with and uncoupling the same from the ropes a and b isillustrated in the present instance as comprising a pair of clamp devices carried by the car for cooperation with the ropes a and b, respectively, and each inclusive of a fixed jaw and a movable jaw, the fixed jaws being constituted by the opposite side portions of an upward extension 0 of a bracket a suitably mounted on the car, and the movable jaws, designated as g and f, respectively, being constituted by members pivoted to the bracket 0 at opposite sides thereof for swin ing movement towards and from their related side portions of the upward extension 0'.
  • the ropes a and Z) are disposed, respectively, between the aws g and f and the adjacent sides of the fixed jaw elements 0 so that by inward swinging movement of either of the movable jaws the car is coupled to the related rope, and by outward swinging movement of the jaws the car is uncoupled from the ropes for continued travel of the ropes without efl'ect to move the car.
  • Coil springs interposed between the element and the jaws g and f, or other means of an equivalent nature, preferably are provided to urge the jaws to their outwardly swung or released positions.
  • the levers i and k are adapted for automatic actuation by means of cam devices suitably arranged along the rail 12,rwhereby couand uncoupling of the car with and f the power ropes a and b is effected in a predetermined manner.
  • coupling and uncoupling of the car and from t 0 power ropes be placed also under the manual control of the operator of the car, and to this end the hub portions of the levers z' and is have fixed thereto spigot wheels m and n, respectively, over a w are trained sprocket chains q and 1', respectively which extend into the car over sprocket wheels t equipped with suitable means for manually rotating the same.
  • FIG. 2 of the drawings is illustrated a cam device e for actuating the lever In to efiect coupling of the car to the rope b; a cam device e s aced a suitable distance along therail 12 mm the cam device e for actuthe lever 11 to effect coupling of the car to e rope a, and a cam device e suitably with res ct to the cam device 6 for actuating the ever is to efi'ect release of the car from the cable Z1.
  • the lever i strikes the cam device 6 and is swung thereby to efiect coupling of the car tothe cable a, and immediately thereafter, or at any other proper time, the lever is, by continued movement of the car, strikes the cam device e and is swung thereby to uncouple the car from the rope I).
  • the car mow being carried along by the cable a continues to travel therewith until a cam device similar to those shown is struck by the lever i, whereupon said lever is swung to unoonple the car from the cable a, or, alternatively, uncoupling of the car from the cable a may be manually effected at any time desired by manipulation of the chain
  • the levers i and k preferably are equipped with rollers d for cooperation with the cam devices, and guide sheaves h preferably are provided ad'acent to the clamp jaws f and g to support t e ropes a and b when the latter are moving idly through the open clamp deoo vices.
  • a track a vehicle movable therealong, a pair of ower ropes extending contiguous to the true and travelling, respectively, one at a substantially constant rate of speed and the other at a variable speed, and means for co lin and uncoupling the car selectively wit an from saidro es.

  • a track a vehicle movable therealong, a pair of power ropes extending contingous to the track and travelling, respectively, one at a substantially constant rate of speed and the other at a variable speed, and a pair of.
  • rope clamp devices carried by the car for cooperation with said ropes, respectively, and separately operable to couple and uncouple the car with and from the respective ropes.
  • a track a vehicle movable thereaiong a pair of power ropes extending contiguous to the track and travelling, respectively, one at a substantially constant rate of speed and the other at a variable speed, a pair of rope clamp devices carried by the car for cooperation with said ropes, respectively, and actuating devices located along the track for cooperation with said clamp devices to actuate the latter to couple and uncouple the car with and from the respective ropes in predetermined sequence.
