Apparatus for moving an object on a rail

摘要

A device for moving an object on a rail that has grid openings, the device having at least one first movement element, at least one first drive element, and at least one engagement element for engaging at least one grid opening. The engagement element is positioned on the first movement element. The first drive element for driving the first movement element is connected to the first movement element, and the first movement element is movably held in such a way that the engagement element is at least in some regions guided along an outside of the device. As a result of this an even force is directly introduced into the rail to prevent the object to be moved by sliding becoming skewed or jammed. Likewise, the device can be supplemented by a motor so moving the object can be carried out automatically, precisely, and quickly.

主权项

1. An apparatus for moving an object on a rail comprising a plurality of grid openings, comprising:
a first movement element comprising a longitudinal element having a first and a second lateral walls; a first drive element; and an engagement element for engaging at least one of the plurality of grid openings, the engagement element comprising a plurality of sets, each set comprising a first pair and a second pair, each pair comprising a first and a second cylindrical bodies extending laterally from the first and the second lateral walls, respectively, wherein a first distance between a first pair of a first set and a second pair of a second set is greater than a second distance between the first and second pairs of the first set; wherein the first drive element is connected to the first movement element for driving the first movement element, and wherein the first movement element is movably held in such a way that the engagement element is at least in some regions guided along edges of the grid openings.
