CA 2512743

An amusement ride assembly 100 includes a rotatable endless loop cable 101 spanning between end stations 102, 103 and a drive system operable to rotate the loop cable 101. A passenger carrier 104 is suspended from the cable and includes a roller mechanism 300 to enable the passenger carrier to free-roll along the cable 101 and an associated clamping mechanism 400 to alternatively fix the passenger carrier 104 to the cable 101. A control system may control the drive system and to enable actuation of the clamping mechanism 400 to fix the passenger carrier 104 to the cable 101 when the carrier 104 is at a position along the cable remote from the end stations 102, 103.

L'invention concerne un ensemble (100) de manège comprenant câble (101) rotatif formant une boucle sans fin, tendu entre deux stations (102, 103) terminales et un système d'entraînement servant à faire tourner le câble (101) en boucle. Un élément de transport (104) de passagers est suspendu au câble et comprend un mécanisme (300) à galets permettant à l'élément de transport de rouler librement le long du câble (101), et un mécanisme (400) de serrage associé permettant de bloquer sélectivement l'élément de transport (104) de passager sur le câble (101). Le système d'entraînement peut être commandé par un système de commande qui permet d'activer le mécanisme (400) de serrage de manière à bloquer l'élément de transport (104) de passagers sur le câble (101) lorsque l'élément de transport (104) se trouve sur le câble, à un emplacement distant des stations terminales (102, 103).
