Abstract

A switch for a cable transportation system has a movable guide with one degree of freedom, along an operating plane, between two designated or given positions; and an actuating assembly having a rotary actuator, and a crank which is rotated by the rotary actuator between two limit stops about an axis of rotation perpendicular to the operating plane, and is connected to the movable guide in such a manner as to define a mechanism having two stable positions corresponding to the designated or given positions of the movable guide when the crank is in the limit stop positions.
