DEVIATION DEVICE FOR A ROPEWAY HAUL CABLE, IN PARTICULAR FOR A MONOCABLE ROPEWAY, A CHAIR LIFT OR A DRAG LIFT

摘要

A deviation device for laterally deviating the haul rope of a ropeway along a curvature including a revolving carrier, preferably an endless roller chain, which is guided by rails. The part of the roller chain which is situated nearer to the center of curvature follows the proposed curvature of the rope. A plurality of pivotal rope guiding levers, projecting from the roller chain, and provided with support members on their underside, supports the rope laterally in the direction towards the center of curvature and, when a rope grip engages a lever, this lever is displaced upwardly.
