A column machine that stands on a deck. The deck includes a rack, a protective cover associated with the rack, and a first and a second rail. The column machine includes a moveable upper device, a drive wheel, an upper carriage connected to the upper device, a lower carriage comprising a first track, a second track, and a protection holder, and a column arranged between the upper carriage and the lower carriage. The drive wheel is arranged in a vertical plane of the column machine and extends parallel relative to a longitudinal direction of the first and second rails. The drive wheel moves along the rack. The first track and the second track cooperate with the first and second rails. The protection holder uncovers the rack in a first area close to the drive wheel so that the remaining areas of the rack remain covered by the protective cover. |

The present disclosure relates to a transitional mode high speed rail system. The high speed rail infrastructure employed by the system is constructed adjacent a conventional host highway. The infrastructure can be provided adjacent to acceleration/deceleration lanes, or emergency parking/paved shoulder lanes. The vehicles used by the system are individual, self-powered, self-operating, individual mass passenger transport vehicles similar in size and appearance to municipal buses. These are transitional mode vehicles because they operate as railroad vehicles on the high speed rail infrastructure, but transition to automotive vehicle mode traveling on ordinary paved roads. They are mass passenger transport vehicles because many passengers can be accommodated. |

Disclosed is a transportation system with integrated infrastructure. In one embodiment, this infrastructure takes the form of a hollow elevated load bearing guideway structure designed to support the weight of traveling vehicles. The structure supports a backbone beam, or rail, that has multiple functions. These functions may include vehicle control, security, and energy delivery. The structure is bimodal meaning vehicles can have wheels like cars or steel rimmed wheels like a train or any combination thereof. |

An electrically powered vehicle transportation system utilizes a guideway with parallel enclosed rails. Each enclosed rail has an electrical bus bar for supplying power to vehicles on the guideway. The guideway will accommodate dual-mode vehicles that are capable of usage on conventional streets as well as on the guideway. The guideway also accommodates conventional vehicles and ferries that operate only on the guideway. The dual-mode vehicle has a body with axles that are extensible. The axles move from a retracted position, with the wheels recessed within the wheel wells, to an extended position. In the extended position, the wheels locate within the enclosed rails. Conventional vehicles and freight are carried on ferries that move along the guideways. |

Michael Fraser |
A personal rapid transit vehicle for movement on a monorail guideway system advantageously limits the vehicle width by requiring the riders to be seated in the vehicle. Furthermore, a suspension system for coupling the vehicle to the guideway provides for a very light, narrow driverless vehicle in which the riders face sideways and are suspended laterally from and seated over the guideway. The suspension system controls lift, slip and roll of the vehicle relative to the guideway and allows a reduction in the guideway cross-sectional area. Moreover, the guideway, rather than the vehicle itself, absorbs all overturning or roll vibration. |

A transport assembly for use, for example, in mass transportation, comprises a track and a frame mounted to the track for motion therealong, the frame including a housing which defines a traction chamber in communication with the track. At least one traction wheel is rotatably mounted to the frame in friction contact with the track. The traction wheel is at least partially disposed in the traction chamber. A car with a passenger compartment is coupled to the frame via a shock absorbing linkage so that the car is substantially isolated from irregularities in the track during motion of the frame and the car along the track. A suction source is operatively connected to the housing for generating a vacuum in the traction chamber during motion of the frame and the car along the track. A drive mounted to the frame is operatively connected to the traction wheel for drivingly rotating the wheel to propel the frame and the car along the track. |

Transporter for plant trays |

Robert Postma |
The transporter has a frame which is fastened to a side rail of a foremost one of a plurality of juxtapositioned plant trays. It has an electric motor mounted thereon, and a gear reducer coupled to the output or power end of the motor. The trays are supported on a pair of extended beams by rollers, underlying the trays, and fixed to the trays. The gear reducer drives a sprocket, and three rubber-tired wheels are rotatably supported by the frame and engage one of the beams; two of the wheels engage one side of the beam, and the other is equi-distant from the axes of the two and engaged with the beam on the opposite side. Each wheel has an axle journalled in the frame and having a sprocket fixed to an end thereof. A continuous chain is engaged with the driven sprocket, and with the other three; upon the motor being turned on, this causes the wheels to turn and travel along the engaged beam and, in this way, the whole plurality of trays are pushed along the two beams. A wire rope lashes the plurality of trays together so that, alternatively, the motor can be put in an opposite rotation to pull the whole plurality of trays along the beams. |
