Biased Sheave Frame For Aerial Tram
Biased Sheave Frame For Aerial Tram
US Patent:
4329926, May 18, 1982
Filed:
May 13, 1980
Appl. No.:
6/149443
Inventors:
Tony R. Sowder - Spokane WA
Douglas A. Sowder - Spokane WA
Douglas A. Sowder - Spokane WA
International Classification:
B61B 1206
US Classification:
104179
Abstract:
A compound frame to support a plurality of sheaves on a tower of an aerial tram with a predetermined bias between each sheave and a supported transiting cable. The sheaves are supported in paired opposed groups with each sheave of a group in substantial opposition so that the bias of each group of sheaves provides a safety factor to aid in maintaining a transiting cable therebetween. The manner of biasing paired sheave groups requires minimal forces for greater economy. An associated desheavement annunciating system is disclosed.
