Abstract
A passenger cabin for an aerial cable railway or the like is constructed from outwardly convex panels connected at their adjoining edges by hollow profile sections. One sidewall of the cabin is equipped with a door. Sensing members of the cabin engage control members of the cable railway stations and transmit a control motion to a door actuation mechanism within the floor construction of the cabin. A crank operates a rocker arm which drives two connecting rods. Racks arranged on the connecting rods drive sector gears mounted on the cabin and cause pivot arms connected with each leaf of the door to pivot. The pivot arms cause the doors to translate along and pivot conjointly with guide rails hinged at their common center. The door leaves can therefore be flush with the sidewall of the cabin in the closed position and require a minimum of space in opening.
