A pre-fabricated monorail track section (104, 105) can be bent vertically quickly and easily, without using any special tools, so as to effect any of a number of desired incremental inclination changes in the rail section (104, 105) and without plastically deforming the rail section (104, 105). The rail section (104, 105) incorporates one or more slots 242 about which the rail can be bent to effect the desired inclination change. A filler block (248, 306, 314) is positioned in the slot (242) after bending (and possibly during bending under some circumstances) and mounted in place to maintain rail integrity and to permit conveyance devices to travel over the rail section without interference from the slots (242). |

A people mover system (110) comprising an elevated track (112) having a horizontal section (114) and vertical end sections (116, 118) and a passenger car (124) movably carried on track (112). Horizontal track section (114) is elevated above an intersection or roadway (140) a height sufficient to permit vehicular traffic to pass beneath car (124). A drive mechanism is provided extending along track (124) for propelling the passenger car in both vertical and horizontal directions between a first load/unload point (120) and a second load/unload point (122). |

The invention relates to a traveling carriage moveable on a guide rod (14), wherein a traveling body (10) of the traveling carriage partially embraces the guide rod (14) with a gap opening remaining on one side, the gap opening being formed by a fixed projection (16) and a moveable projection (18) and, in the closed and locked operating condition, being smaller than the smallest cross section of the guide rod (14) which can be taken into consideration and, in the opened and unlocked removal condition, being larger than the largest cross section of the guide rod (14) which can be taken into consideration. This traveling carriage serves, for example, to mount a spotlight in a recording studio. |

In a transportation system for city transportation in which the cars are moved on a rail system and are brought at least part of the time into circulation from a circulating traction cable and the cars are fastened with clamps on the traction cable, stations are arranged at any given distance between the end railway stations with reversing devices for the traction cable, cars come to stand on a secondary track at the stations, and the through traffic has the ability to pass the standing cars. In the individual stations, an electronic calling system is installed which in cooperation with a central control causes a next car with a free place to seek the stations and to pick up the passenger(s), or to transfer a further car or car train into the rail system. In the cars themselves are provided station selection devices for the next stop. The secondary track is preferably arranged above or below the through rail system. The stations are thereby simplified, and it is possible to enter the stopping car directly, similar to a platform. |

A wheeled support assembly for conveyors includes a wheel assembly having an outer race, an inner race, a plurality of rolling elements positioned therebetween, and a support or bracket. The bracket defines a noncircular aperture in cross section, and the inner race defines a noncircular through bore in cross section. A support shaft having a headed portion extends through the inner race and into the bracket aperture. The support shaft has a noncircular in cross section outer surface which is engaged by the inner race and the bracket aperture to prevent relative rotation. The support shaft defines a threaded bore which receives a threaded fastener extending through the bracket aperture. The support shaft, inner race and bracket are dimensioned so that the shaft normally extends into but not through the bracket aperture, permitting convenient removal of the wheel without disturbing the support or bracket. |

Gustav G. Veith |
The invention relates to a conveyor apparatus, particularly for intra-plant conveyance, comprising a conveyor rail system and a plurality of carrier units straddling the rail from below and resting thereon through rollers for travelling along at least one inclined conveyor stretch with the aid of a driven endless conveyor chain. On approaching the conveyor chain, coupling members on the carrier units come into engagement with the chain links. The invention improves the engagement of the coupling members to ensure reliable conveyance of the carrier units even after extended periods of operation of the conveyor apparatus. A tilting member is mounted between the arms of the carrier unit and is provided with projections at a mutual spacing adapted to the pitch of the chain in such a manner that as one of the projections enters a chain opening, so as to engage a chain link portion with its engagement face, a second projection has its bearing face engaged by a chain link portion between adjacent chain openings. |

Horst Ludscheidt |
Apparatus for removing pollutants, particularly automotive exhaust gases, from work areas or the like is formed with an elongate stationary duct for exhausting pollutants therethrough and with a bearing bracket longitudinally movable along the stationary duct for connecting an exhaust hose to the duct adapted to receive pollutants. By movement of the bearing bracket along the duct, the exhaust hose may be moved to any one of a number of desired locations. The stationary duct is formed with displaceable sealing elements which are moved by the bearing bracket between a sealing position and a position allowing the hose to be placed in flow communication with the stationary duct as the bearing bracket is moved along the duct. Alternatively, the exhaust hose may be connected with a second elongate duct which is itself movably connected with the stationary duct through displaceable sealing elements. |

Improvements are provided in a rapid transit system which employs a guide line network including a main line and an interconnected side line, a car moveable throughout the network and interconnected thereto by an overhead tow bar, car drive means, and switch means for diverting the car to and from the main line and side line. The improvements include an overhead main line guide bar at and around intersections of the main and side lines, a main line guide finger vertically moveable from within the car into and out of sliding engagement with the main line guide bar, an overhead side line guide bar at and around said intersection, and a pair of turn-off guide fingers vertically moveable as a unit from within the car for sliding engagement with the side line guide bar to divert the car to the side line. These fingers are spaced lateral of both sides of the main line guide finger. Lever means in the car alternately raise and lower the turn off guide fingers and main line guide finger. The leading ends of the guide bars can be rotated or otherwise moved by remote means to control the direction of the car in an emergency. A platform with guide openings under the car at the intersection cooperates with wedge shaped guides on the car bottom to aid the car in turning into the side line. Slides on the platform aid the car bottom to slide on banded portions during turns. |

PATIN PIERRE |
A suspended vehicle support system has a carrying cable fixed on pylons. The cable has hangers along its length carrying a track. The track is made up of two tubular guides disposed in the same vertical plane. G-shaped brackets are fixed on the guides and fastened to the hangers. The track between pylons forms with the cable and hangers a catenary suspension with rigidity girders resisting lateral movement of the suspended vehicle and substantially eliminating sensitivity of the carrying cable to violent winds.

A support for a camera dolly comprising spaced-apart first and second rails comprised of longitudinal rail members. The first rail has a first seam between its rail members, and the second rail has a second seam between its rail members. The first seam in the first rail is directly opposed from a corresponding second seam in the second rail. The first and second seams have first and second leading edges formed at crowns on the first and second rails, and the leading edge of the first seam is offset longitudinally with respect to the leading edge of the corresponding second seam. |
