Procedure for positioning of train entails moving train until stop at one end interacts with counter-stop, elastically lengthening train, and then decreasing pulling force until stop at other end interacts with second counter-stop

摘要

One end of the train is pre-positioned and a stop device(10) activated. The train is then moved through the application of a pulling force until the stop device interacts with a fixed counter-stop(20), and is then elastically lengthened by spring loading forces. Another stop(10') is activated at the other end of the train, the pulling force decreased, and the train moved back under the influence of spring forces against the direction of extension until the additional stop interacts with an additional fixed counter-stop(20') while maintaining an elastic tensioning. An Independent claim is included for the stop devices to enable the proposed procedure to be carried out.
