ABSTRACT:
A device for connecting a general traction cable and a bicycle, particularly applicable to ski-lifts, for hauling uphill bicycles or like machines, and in particular bicycles used for cross-country or off-the-highway cycling, outside the winter season. The device includes a towing part which is connected to the traction cable via an individual traction cable or individual traction bar. A towed part is connected to the bicycle and a safety device is provided for coupling the two towing and towed parts, with automatic connection by engagement of one of these two parts in the other. This coupling device includes, taking into account the effect of a tension regulator device, a disconnecting device operating on the towed part and releasing the cycle when the rider so desires and possibly in an automatic safety mode. The coupling device also includes an automatic disconnection device operating on the towing part and releasing the cycle when it deviates from the normal path or when it falls on the ground.
