Claim:
A cableway system, comprising: a conveying cable extending between and guided about deflecting pulleys in two terminal stations of the cableway system; chairs formed with a coupling device for coupling to said conveying cable and a traveling-gear mechanism, wherein said chairs are coupled to said conveying cable along a path of the cableway system, uncoupled from said conveying cable at an entrance into the stations, guided through the stations along guide rails, whereupon passengers disembark from said chairs and board said chairs, and wherein said chairs are coupled to said conveying cable at an exit from the stations; said chairs each having at least one safety bar movably mounted between an open position and a closed position; a first adjusting device for adjusting and locking the safety bar in the closed position and an associated first checking device for checking whether or not the safety bar is locked in the closed position; a second adjusting device for adjusting and locking the safety bar in the closed position, said second adjusting device being disposed at a distance from said first adjusting device, in a direction of travel of said chairs, and being movable into an active position; a second checking device, associated with said second adjusting device, for checking whether or not the safety bar is locked in the closed position at the exit from the stations; wherein, when said first checking device determines that locking by said first adjusting device has not taken place, said first checking device causes said second adjusting device for adjusting and locking the safety bar to be moved into the active position.
