System for the transportation of loads and/or persons at height

Abstract

A system for the transportation of loads and/or persons at height comprises at least one car defining at least one cab for the transportation of loads and/or persons, and comprises a (tangible) cable transport component/unit/device/machine (or the like) of the car adapted to move the latter suspended at height; and a (tangible) movement component/unit/device/machine (or the like) of the car onto the ground.

1 ) A system for the transportation of loads and/or persons at height comprising at least one car defining at least one cab for the transportation of loads and/or persons, the system comprising:
 cable transport means of said car adapted to move the latter suspended at height; and   movement means of said car onto the ground.   
     
     
         2 ) The system according to  claim 1 , further comprising: removable hooking means of said car to said cable transport means. 
     
     
         3 ) The system according to  claim 2 , wherein said hooking means comprise:
 at least one supporting arm secured to said cable transport means and provided with at least a first hooking portion; and   at least a second hooking portion associated with said car and coupleable to said first hooking portion in a removable manner.   
     
     
         4 ) The system according to  claim 1 , further comprising: removable coupling means of said car to said movement means onto the ground. 
     
     
         5 ) The system according to  claim 4 , wherein said movement means onto the ground comprise at least one movable support coupleable to said car in a removable manner by means of said coupling means and adapted to hold said car during the movement of the same onto the ground. 
     
     
         6 ) The system according to  claim 5 , wherein said movable support comprises at least one motor-driven assembly for the movement of the support itself onto the ground. 
     
     
         7 ) The system according to  claim 2 , wherein said car is movable between a first operating configuration, wherein said coupling means secure said car to said movement means onto the ground, placing said car resting on the ground, and at least a second operating configuration, wherein said hooking means secure said car to said cable transport means, placing said car in suspension. 
     
     
         8 ) The system according to  claim 7 , further comprising: at least one exchange station located between said movement means onto the ground and said transport means at height and defining at least one point of departure, at which said car is moved from said first operating configuration to said second operating configuration, and at least one point of arrival, at which said car is moved from said second operating configuration to said first operating configuration. 
     
     
         9 ) The system according to  claim 8 , wherein said movement means comprise at least one of either:
 guidance means for guiding said movable support along at least one predetermined route and provided with at least one way of arrival said point of departure and at least one way of departure from said point of arrival; or   stiff shifting means of said movable support between said point of departure and said point of arrival along a shifting direction.   
     
     
         10 ) The system according to  claim 9 , wherein said way of arrival and said way of departure extend substantially parallel to each other along their respective directions of guidance of said movable support arranged substantially orthogonal with respect to said shifting direction. 
     
     
         11 ) The system according to  claim 5 , wherein
 said movement means comprise at least one power supply line which extends along said predetermined route and configured to electrically supply at least one of either said movable support for said car; and   at least one of either said movable support or said car comprises at least one connecting element positioned, in use, in sliding contact with said power supply line.   
     
     
         12 . A car for the transportation at height defining at least one cab for the transportation of loads and/or persons, said car comprising at least one of either:
 removable hooking means of said car to cable transport means adapted to move the car itself suspended at height;   removable coupling means of said car to movement means of the car itself onto the ground.
