Abstract

In an overhead line system, a first moving device is movable in the air between a first support post and a second support post. A first overhead line is stretched from the first moving device and connected to the first lifting device via the first support post. A second overhead line is stretched from the first moving device and connected to the second lifting device via the second support post. A second moving device is movable in the air between a third support post and a fourth support post. A third overhead line is stretched from the second moving device and connected to the third lifting device via the third support post. A fourth overhead line is stretched from the second moving device and connected to the fourth lifting device via the fourth support post. A suspension device is connected to the first moving device and the second moving device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An overhead line system, comprising:
a first moving device that is movable in the air between a first support post and a second support post; a first lifting device that is disposed in proximity to the first support post and is configured to wind up an overhead line; a second lifting device that is disposed in proximity to the second support post and is configured to wind up the overhead line; a first overhead line stretched from the first moving device and connected to the first lifting device via the first support post; a second overhead line stretched from the first moving device and connected to the second lifting device via the second support post; a second moving device that is movable in the air between a third support post and a fourth support post; a third lifting device that is disposed in proximity to the third support post and is configured to wind up the overhead line; a fourth lifting device that is disposed in proximity to the fourth support post and is configured to wind up the overhead line; a third overhead line stretched from the second moving device and connected to the third lifting device via the third support post; a fourth overhead line stretched from the second moving device and connected to the fourth lifting device via the fourth support post; and a suspension device that is connected to the first moving device and the second moving device and that is movable in the air.

2 . The overhead line system according to claim 1 , wherein the first lifting device and the second lifting device wind up one of the first overhead line and the second overhead line and lower the other of the first overhead line and the second overhead line and the third lifting device and the fourth lifting device wind up one of the third overhead line and the fourth overhead line and lower the other of the third overhead line and the fourth overhead line to move the first moving device, the second moving device, and the suspension device.

3 . The overhead line system according to claim 1 , wherein:
the first moving device, the second moving device, and the suspension device each include a pulley; one end of the first overhead line is fixed to the first moving device; the second overhead line is stretched from an end of the first moving device that is fixed and connected to the second lifting device via the pulley of the suspension device and the pulley of the first moving device; one end of the third overhead line is fixed to the second moving device; and the fourth overhead line is stretched from an end of the second moving device that is fixed and connected to the fourth lifting device via the pulley of the suspension device and the pulley of the second moving device.

4 . The overhead line system according to claim 3 , wherein:
the second lifting device winds up the second overhead line and the fourth lifting device lowers the fourth overhead line to move the suspension device to a first moving device side; and the fourth lifting device winds up the fourth overhead line and the second lifting device lowers the second overhead line to move the suspension device to a second moving device side.

5 . The overhead line system according to claim 3 , wherein:
the second lifting device winds up the second overhead line and the fourth lifting device winds up the fourth overhead line to move the suspension device upward; and the second lifting device lowers the second overhead line and the fourth lifting device lowers the fourth overhead line to move the suspension device downward.

6 . The overhead line system according to claim 3 , wherein:
the first support post and the third support post are disposed diagonally from each other; and the second support post and the fourth support post are disposed diagonally from each other.
