Abstract

In order to operate both arms of a clamp of a funicular system of a rail and running cable vehicle with the same force and at the same time, a guide carrier element, which includes two longitudinal surfaces over which the free ends of the movable jaws move, is formed in one piece and can move vertically transverse to the free ends so as to be instantaneously and automatically self-centering about the jaws and hence about the clamp.
