Austrian Patent Office AT507 310B1 2010-10-15
Description The invention relates to a chairlift with at least two stations with a boarding and an exit area, between the stations with a rope connected armchair with at least two seats are mobile and wherein at the bottom of the boarding area tracks are arranged below and according to the trajectory the seats of a chair run.
Furthermore, the invention relates to a chair of a chairlift with at least two seats with a seat part and a backrest.
Chairlifts have in a station on an exit and an entry area for the passengers to be transported. When an armchair enters a station, it first passes through the exit area and then the boarding area. If necessary, a deflection area can be provided between the exit and entry areas in order to change the direction of travel of the chair.
It is known to provide at least one conveyor belt in the entry area, which is driven in the direction of travel of the chair.
Chair for chairlifts have at least one seat, usually up to eight or more, for example, ten, adjacent seats. In the boarding area, there is a risk that a passenger will not correctly position themselves on the chair during flinching and, at least for now, bet on a transition area from one seat to another. On the one hand, the problem is that the adjacent passenger can not properly position himself. This problem is particularly critical when a passenger wants to sit on an outer (edge) seat of the chair and he / she is no longer sufficient seating available. On the other hand, it is also problematic that if the seat position is incorrect, it must be corrected. This problem is especially critical when the passenger gets up again and shifts his weight forward. In the above cases, it can lead to falls or other accidents. In addition to the direct risk of injury, it should also be noted that, when the chairlift is in operation, a chair once again approaches, which leads to a renewed danger situation if a fallen person lies in the roadway of the chair on the ground.
Chairlifts are known in DE 101 34 180 A1, in which at the bottom of the boarding area tracks are arranged which run below and according to the trajectory of the seats of a chair and are optically separated from each other by strips. Furthermore, tracks are known in the entry area of chairlifts, which have a median strip. A disadvantage of such trains is that they entail a high risk of being misinterpreted, since it is not clear which information is to be transmitted to the passenger. It is not clear to a passenger whether a stripe should be a median strip running between his feet, or whether the stripe is optically delimiting a path within which the passenger is to be located.
The invention is based on the object to provide a chairlift and a chair for such a chairlift, with which a correct positioning of a passenger when sitting down on the chair is supported and dangers when entering the chair are reduced.
This object is achieved according to the invention with a chairlift, which has the features of claim 1.
Furthermore, this object is achieved with a chair, which has the features of claim 7.
The chairlift according to the invention is characterized in that a web differs from the one of the adjacent arranged web in terms of graphic design and that the webs are substantially the same width as the corresponding seats , Thus, the passengers, especially children, clearly illustrates how the seat division on the chair manufacturer is intended and where you must position yourself in the boarding area to properly come to an approaching seat to sit. The risk of misinterpretation of the strips provided in the entry area has been eliminated. This increased visibility is particularly advantageous because it supports sitting down in the correct position on a seat of the chair. The advantage of such tracks is thus that the passenger is clearly indicated in the entry area on the ground, whether he is correct with respect to an approaching seat.
The correct positioning of the passenger on the chair is an important aspect of safety in the boarding area of the station and during the entire journey from one station to another, since the manufacturer's intended safety measures are aligned to a proper seating position or at duly Sitting position most effective.
With the chairlift according to the invention not only the aforementioned risks are avoided in the entry area, but also hazards that can occur when closing the guard after the entry area due to incorrect seating position. Such a risk, for example, that a protective shield arranged on the guard, which should be located in the closed position of the guard between the thighs of the passenger, presses on closing a thigh on a thigh. In addition, whether or not there is a protective screen, there is a risk of its leg being pinched by a support tube of a footrest that extends down between a passenger's legs or between two seats. If the chair according to the invention is provided with separating elements between the seat parts and optionally on the outer edge of an outer seat, which protrude above the top of the seat parts, so the color coding of the webs offers the further advantage that already when sitting down on a seat a collision with the separating elements can be avoided.
The avoidance of dangerous situations in itself for passengers is in the field of application of the invention of particular importance. This is all the more true when children are transported, since (potential) dangerous situations, especially in children, can lead to unpredictable reactions. With the chair according to the invention and the chairlift invention children with or without (adult) companion can be safely transported.
In the context of the invention can be provided that the webs have an additional median strip.
In the context of the invention, the webs may be conveyor belts.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a graphic design which differs from an adjacently arranged web extends over the entire surface of the web over the entire area. Alternatively or additionally, graphic designs may also be provided which extend only partially, for example centrally, over a certain length of a web.
In a simple embodiment of the invention, the web is executed in one color, whereas the adjacent web is executed in a different, sufficiently different color. Alternatively or additionally, there may also be provided webs having multicolor patterns extending entirely (e.g., a solid checker) or only partially (e.g., a preferably centrally located graphic) across the face of a web. For example, graphics such as images, symbols, patterns, logos, e.g. Company logos, mascots, cartoon characters, or the like provided.
In a particularly preferred embodiment, the seat part and / or the backrest with respect to the graphic design differs from an adjoining seat part and / or from a seat back adjacently arranged. Thus, the passengers, especially children, the seat division of the chair illustrated.
Preferably, the graphic design of a seat is uniform, i. E. the graphic design of the seat part and the backrest of the seat are the same. Alternatively or additionally, the graphic designs of the seat and back of a seat may be similar or mutually assignable. For example, on the seat part and on the backrest of a seat are similar or related graphics such as pictures, symbols, patterns, logos, e.g. Company logos, mascots, cartoon characters, or the like provided. Corresponding graphics that are mutually assignable but not the same or similar, for example, two comic characters that are visually different, but which are associated with each other.
If the graphic design of the web is the same as the graphic design of the seat part and / or the backrest of the corresponding seat, the effect of the chair according to the invention is now enhanced by the unique optical association of the track and seat. This can also be achieved by the graphic designs of a track and the seat part and / or the backrest of a seat are similar or mutually assignable.
A graphic design of a seat part and / or a backrest and / or a track can be arranged on a carrier which is releasably or non-detachably connected to the seat part and / or the backrest and / or the track, as e.g. glued, is. Alternatively, a graphic design may also be applied directly through the seat portion and / or the backrest and / or the panel, e.g. be formed by a surface structure which is distinguishable from the surface structure of the adjoining seat part and / or the backrest and / or the web.
The chair according to the invention can be designed with or without protective hood.
In order to provide children in particular with an incentive to sit down on a seat such that a securing part can be positioned between the thighs, in one embodiment of the invention it is provided that at least one seat part has a central area in the region of its front edge is different in terms of its graphic design of the laterally arranged adjacent areas.
Further details, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which a preferred embodiment is shown.
1 shows an embodiment of an armchair according to the invention, and [0028] FIG. 2 shows the chair from FIG. 1 in an entry area.
In Fig. 1, a chair 1 of a chairlift is shown with a protective bar 2 with shields 3, which can be carried out as usual in the art. It is therefore only mentioned in general that the guard 2 is arranged on a frame 4, which is connected via a hinge to a support rod, at the upper end of a clamping device for attaching the chair 1 is attached to a hoisting rope. The invention is independently applicable to other types of armchairs, in particular detachable armchair.
Furthermore, it is generally mentioned that the chair 1 has at least two seats 4, in the embodiment according to FIG. 1 eight seats, with a seat part 5 and a backrest 6. The protective covers 3 are in the closed position of the guard 2 in the central region of the seat parts 5 in the region of its front edge and in the correct position of a passenger between the thighs.
With the help of a closed and revolving hoisting rope, the chair 1 by a valley station, not shown in the drawings, if appropriate, via one or more 3/6
Austrian Patent Office AT507 310B1 2010-10-15 intermediate stations, promoted to a mountain station and back again. The chair 1 can be uncoupled either with a clamping device in the stations of the hoist rope and be coupled to this again. But it is also possible to clamp the chair 1 fixed to the hoisting rope. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, the seats 4, the respective seat part 5 and the respective backrest 6, differ in terms of their graphic design of an adjacently arranged seat 4. The graphic design of the seat part 5 and the backrest 6 of a seat 4 is always the same. In the chair 1 shown, the seats 4 are alternately patterned and not patterned. As color contrasts enhance the optical discrimination of the seats 4, the seats 4 are alternately light and dark. To further support a proper seating position separating elements 7 are arranged between the seat parts 5. The separating elements 7 protrude beyond the upper side of the seat parts 5. Thus, not only do they visually separate the seat parts 5 but also cause a passenger to feel it sitting on a transitional area from one seat 4 to another. In Fig. 2, the chair 1 of Fig. 1 in the entry area of a station of a chairlift can be seen. At the bottom of the boarding area tracks 8 are arranged, which run below and according to the movement path of the seats 4 of the chair 1. The webs 8 are optically separated webs 8 that are substantially the same width as the corresponding seats 4. The graphic design of each web 8 corresponds to the graphic design of the corresponding seat 4. In this embodiment, it is particularly well recognizable for a passenger, where you have to position yourself in the boarding area in order to properly sit on a seat 4. Preferably, the webs 8 are mounted on a conveyor belt. In summary, an embodiment of the invention can be described as follows: At the bottom of the entry area of a station of the chairlift are arranged tracks 8 which run below and according to the trajectory of the seats 4 of the chair 1 and which are substantially the same width The seat part 5 and / or the backrest 6 of a seat 4 differs in terms of graphic design from the seat part 5 and / or backrest 6 of an adjacently arranged seat 4. Thus, the passengers, especially children, clarified, how the seat division on the chair 1 is intended by the manufacturer and where you have to position yourself in the boarding area in order to properly come to an approaching seat 4 to sit. If the graphic design of the webs 8 is the same as the graphic design of the corresponding seat 4, the effect of the chair 1 according to the invention is now enhanced by the unique optical association of the web 8 and seat 4. 1. chairlift with at least two stations with an entry and an exit area, wherein between the stations connected to a rope chair (1) with at least two seats (4) are movable and wherein at the bottom of the boarding area tracks (8) are arranged, running underneath and according to the trajectory of the seats (4) of a chair (1), characterized in that a web (8) differs in graphic design from an adjacent web (8) and in that the webs (8) substantially are the same width as the corresponding seats (4).
