Abstract

A clamping device for coupling a transport device, for example a cabin, gondola, or a chair, to the hauling or traction cable of a cableway system. The clamping device contains two clamping jaws that can be moved toward one another or apart for coupling the clamping device to and uncoupling it from the hauling or traction cable. Exchangeable jaws, via which the clamping jaws act on the hauling or traction cable, are fastened to the clamping jaws. A bearing surface on the clamping jaws for the exchangeable jaws is curved concavely, and a counter surface on the exchangeable jaws has a corresponding curvature.
