A force equalizing assembly for use in an elevated cableway system

摘要

A force equalizing assembly for joining a catenary cable system to a pair of track cable systems at points between support pylons in an elevated cableway system to equalize the tension between the catenary cable system and the track cable systems. The assembly comprises a system of cable encasing members for frictionally engaging cables of the catenary cable system and the track cable systems about their respective circumferences and for distributing the forces applied by the catenary cable system and the track cable systems among the catenary cable system cables and the track cable systems cables. The system of cable encasing members comprises: an assembly body (367); a catenary cable system clamp (370) that grasps the catenary cable system; and a pair of track cable system clamps (368) that grasp the pairs of track cable systems. The top surface of the pair of track cable system clamps is adapted for engagement by the wheels of a vehicle traversing the elevated cableway system.
