RUNNING GEAR FOR A GONDOLA OF A GONDOLA LIFT SYSTEM, SUPPORT MEANS FOR GONDOLAS OF A GONDOLA LIFT SYSTEM, GONDOLA FOR A GONDOLA LIFT SYSTEM, GONDOLA LIFT SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR ACTIVATING A RUNNING GEAR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17769228 titled 'RUNNING GEAR FOR A GONDOLA OF A GONDOLA LIFT SYSTEM, SUPPORT MEANS FOR GONDOLAS OF A GONDOLA LIFT SYSTEM, GONDOLA FOR A GONDOLA LIFT SYSTEM, GONDOLA LIFT SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR ACTIVATING A RUNNING GEAR

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a running gear for a gondola of a gondola lift system, which includes a running gear frame, running wheels, a guide unit, and a control element.

• Running gear frame coupleable to a cabin of the gondola via a support arm
• Running wheels rotatably mountable on the running gear frame for traveling on a running device of the support means
• Guide unit coupleable to the running gear frame via a swivelable cantilever, with a guide element for form fit with guide devices of the support means
• Actuator element for form fit with actuator devices of the support means for deflection of the running device
• Control element for swiveling the cantilever together with the guide unit

Potential Applications

The running gear can be used in gondola lift systems for efficient and smooth transportation of passengers or goods.

Problems Solved

1. Improved stability and control of the gondola lift system. 2. Enhanced safety for passengers during transportation.

Benefits

1. Increased reliability and performance of the gondola lift system. 2. Reduced maintenance and operational costs. 3. Enhanced user experience for passengers.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Running Gear for Gondola Lift Systems: Enhancing Transportation Efficiency"

Possible Prior Art

There may be existing patents or innovations related to running gears for gondola lift systems, but specific prior art is not provided in the abstract.

How does the running gear frame ensure a secure connection to the gondola cabin?

The running gear frame is designed to be coupleable to the cabin of the gondola via a support arm, but the specific mechanism of this connection is not detailed in the abstract.

What materials are used in the construction of the running wheels for durability and performance?

The abstract mentions running wheels that are rotatably mountable on the running gear frame, but it does not specify the materials used in their construction or the design considerations for durability and performance.

Original Abstract Submitted

A running gear for a gondola of a gondola lift system for use with support means of the gondola lift system. The running gear includes a running gear frame coupleable to a cabin of the gondola via a support arm, and at least one running wheel, rotatably mountable on the running gear frame, for traveling on a running device of the support means. The running gear includes a guide unit coupleable to the running gear frame via a swivelable cantilever. The guide unit includes a guide element for a form fit with one of two guide devices of the support means, and an actuator element for the form fit with one of two actuator devices of the support means that are rigidly coupled to the running device for deflection of the running device. The running gear includes a control element for swiveling the cantilever together with the guide unit.
