Claim:
A cableway system comprising: a carrying cable extending between a downstream station and an upstream station; a traction cable extending between the downstream station and the upstream station, the traction cable returned by at least two pulleys in the stations; at least one support of the carrying cable and the traction cable provided along a path of a cableway, the at least one support including at least one roller battery; a plurality of cabins running along the carrying cable, said plurality of cabins each coupleable with the traction cable using at least one clamp; and a damper including: (i) a first lever having a first end and a second end, the first end of the first lever joined to the roller battery at an entrance of the roller battery in a direction of movement of the cabins, the second end of the first lever being a free end connected to a roller engageable with the traction cable, the first lever loaded by at least one selected from the group consisting of: an elastic member, a spring, and a weight to bias the roller toward the traction cable to soften a passage of the roller over the at least one clamp and to accompany the traction cable in a lowering onto the roller battery, the first lever dampened by a shock absorber selected from the group consisting of: a pneumatic shock absorber and a hydraulic shook absorber, and (ii) a second lever configured to co-act with the first lever, the second lever including: (a) a first arm having a free end, the first arm joined at said free end to the at least one support, the first arm supported by a compression spring, (b) a second arm having a free end, the second arm including at said free end a guide runnable on the carrying cable, and (c) an elbow fitted with a contrast member configured to shift the first lever depending on the position of the carrying cable, said shift dampening a vibration of the traction cable.
