Title: Air spring control system for a vehicle' s lift axle
Inventor: FULTON R SCOTT
IPC: B60G17/052
Filed: 2002-12-16
Granted: 2007-11-13
Abstract: A lift-type axle/suspension system of a heavy-duty vehicle includes ride air springs for providing vehicle load support when the system is lowered, and one or more lift air springs for selectively raising the system when such additional load support is unnecessary or when greater vehicle maneuverability is desired. An apparatus integrates and simultaneously controls the operating systems for the lift and ride air springs. The control apparatus includes a plurality of conduits and valves which enable pressurized air from the lift air springs to be rapidly provided to the ride air springs when the system is being lowered. The additional air supplements the normal source of air from the vehicle compressed air source to ensure sufficient and timely air for smooth and efficient operation of the ride air springs without excessive buckling or folding, thus maintaining adequate overall vehicle air pressure needed for operating other vehicle components.

Title: Device for protecting passengers on the chairs of a chairlift
Inventor: HINTEREGGER CHRISTOPH
IPC: B61B11/00
Filed: 2006-04-18
Granted: 2012-10-16
Abstract: A chair of a chairlift has at least one seat with a seat surface and a pivotable closing bar. When the closing bar is closed, its crossbar extends across the thighs of a passenger. The crossbar bears a locking mechanism, which reduces the distance between the crossbar and the seat surface. The locking mechanism has a contact surface, which extends substantially parallel to the crossbar and faces towards the seat surface and the distance of which from the seat surface is variable. The variability of the distance of the contact surface from the seat surface allows an automatic adjustment to the length of the legs and thickness of the thighs. This prevents large persons from being cramped by the locking mechanism, whilst ensuring that small persons are securely held.
