CONVEYOR ARRANGEMENT FOR ROLLING TRANSPORT DEVICES

摘要

The inclined elevator is comprised of a travelling chain, rope or cable with one or more push devices fixed to it at intervals. The elevator is intended for bicyclists or similar manned vehicles and is designed for installation in inclined streets, pedestrian tracks or in separate tracks specially designed for the purpose. The elevator chain, cable or rope is running in a conduit with a slot for the push device. The conduit is permanently installed on the ground. The push device is either running hidden inside the conduit on the ground, or, when in use, running on top of the conduit or guidance. During operation the bicyclist is sitting on the bicycle, and the bicycle is rolling on its own wheels. The push device pushes on the lower part of the person or the vehicle. The bicyclist is pushed upwards the elevator by standing with one foot on a push device fixed to the cable such as an inclined plate. The foot should be stretched backaords and the major bodyweight should be placed on the plate. The push device of the elevator could easily be adapted to wheelchairs, wheel wagons or similar.
