GUIDEWAY AND CHASSIS SYSTEM FOR WHEEL BASED RAIL RUNNING VEHICLE

摘要

Guideway and chassis system of wheel-based, rail running vehicles comprising a guideway system (2-6) including substantially horizontal bases (3), two parallel rails (4) and mainly vertical guide rails (5) extending along both sides of the rails (4), with mainly horizontal inward flanges (6) in a vertical distance above the bases (3). The chassis comprises a set of main wheels (9) arranged to run on said rails (4) and a set of guide wheels (10) arranged to bear against the guide rails (5) to ensure the lateral position of the vehicle. The flanges (6) are localized closely above the top side of said guide wheels (10) to restrict their ability to upward vertical movement, the width of the flanges (6) being sufficiently small to not interfere with the main wheels (9), allowing the top of the main wheels to extend above the horizontal flanges (6).
