161 Air bus transportation system US12801660 2010-06-18 US08015925B2 2011-09-13 Abner J. Simon
A transportation system includes a vehicle having wings, a propulsion system, a lifting gear coupling the vehicle to an undercarriage, and a guidance assembly movably connecting the undercarriage to guide rails. The wings generate aerodynamic lift when the vehicle exceeds a first speed. The lifting gear supports a load of the vehicle in a first position in relation to the undercarriage when the vehicle travels at less than the first speed, allows the vehicle to lift to a second position in relation to the undercarriage as the vehicle accelerates beyond the first speed, and maintains the vehicle in the second position when the vehicle exceeds the first speed. The guidance assembly shiftingly engages the guide rails through rollers that are in rolling contact with the guide rails when the vehicle is in the first position and are displaced from the guide rails when the vehicle is in the second position.

A golf cart system includes a longitudinal rail having a transverse cross section defined by spaced side walls joined at lower ends thereof by a bottom wall having an inner upper surface. The side walls have at upper ends thereof upper walls extending inwardly toward each other and having inner lower surfaces. The upper walls have spaced inner edges having extending upwardly therefrom mouth portions. The inner edges and the mouth portions define therebetween a longitudinal groove opening downwardly into the interior of the rail. The rail is embedded in the ground of a golf course with upper edges of the mouth portions substantially flush with the ground surface. A golf cart is movable along the rail and has support structure extending downwardly therefrom through the longitudinal groove of the rail. Wheels are mounted on the support structure within the rail interior and contact the inner upper surface of the rail bottom wall. The cart supports a drive to rotate the wheels to move the cart along the rail. The cart is prevented from falling sideways from the rail by rollers supported by the cart and positioned within the rail interior and contacting the inner lower surfaces of the rail upper walls.
174 Carriage with tiltable plates, for sorting machines in particular US733626 1985-05-13 US4726464A 1988-02-23 Francesco Canziani
A carriage of the tiltable plate kind for a sorting apparatus has a carrying structure having idle wheels for running in a feed direction along rails on one side of the carrying structure and a pair of spaced uprights projecting from the opposite side of the carrying structure. A frame is hingedly linked to the one side of the carrying structure, the frame having pairs of wheels for engaging opposite sides of a fixed rail. A motor drives at least one wheel of the pairs of wheels of the frame for self-driving the carrying structure. A plate is hinged to end portions of the uprights for rotation about an axis substantially parallel to the feed direction of the carrying structure.

A guide is along the carrying structure in the feed direction thereof and a cursor is on the guide and engaging the threaded shaft for movement along the guide in the feed direction of the carrying structure by rotation of the threaded shaft. A pair of cams is on the plate on opposite sides of the threaded shaft transversely of the feed direction for engaging the cursor, the cams having symmetrically equal contours for tilting the plate in either direction upon rotation of the threaded shaft and movement of the cursor.
175 Overhead transportation system US506776 1974-09-17 US3942450A 1976-03-09 Carlos Bordons Elorza
An overhead transportation system comprises one or more roller tracks joined in a superimposed manner to one or to both sides of a plurality of pillars or columns which form the supporting assembly of the system. Each of the roller tracks is formed of two U-shaped elements arranged parallelly to each other and whose cavities face each other. Each pair of U-shaped elements are connected to the supporting assembly parallel to the vertical axis thereof or slightly inclined thereto. A movable vertebrated or segmented train element includes a series of interconnecting compartments which are pivotally joined to each other in an alternate manner, about vertical axles at the surface thereof nearest to the roller tracks, and about horizontal axles at the base thereof. Tilting, during high speed travel around curves, of the compartments is not allowed, but tilting of the frames of the seats, completely independent of the compartments, is allowed, such tilting being activated hydraulically or mechanically to achieve the required inclination. Damping is effected by the flexible or resilient surface of the roller track and the fastening and guide assemblies, and may be aided by the provision of leaf springs incorporated therein.

Eack track comprises a lower rail and an upper rail extending longitudinally of the beam at the respective side of the beam. Each car has lower wheels traveling on the head of the lower rail and an outrigger extending laterally from the car to the upper rail having a traveling tension-transferring interconnection with the head of the upper rail for holding the car upright. The heads of the two rails of each track lie in a plane inclined to the longitudinal vertical plane of the beam with substantially all of the beam below the said inclined plane. The system as disclosed further involves a special switching arrangement for the tracks, a special station feature based on the provision of an elevator in the car, and a special expansion joint between rail ends.
