  • the console of the floating bearing will again screwed onto a foundation.
  • All detachable connections are preferably screw connections.
  • the frame is chosen a standard size smaller than that First U-profiles forming the running rails.
  • the running tracks and the Frames are screwed to the middle of their webs; This creates one step between the upper and lower legs of the U-profiles.
  • the console engages with one on each floating bearing track width crossbar and gives the rail assembly Lateral guidance and additional rigidity.
  • a further increase in stiffness can be achieved with the invention reach if the holes of the same pitch on the webs of the Running tracks forming the first U-profiles and on the second U-profiles the frame in the longitudinal direction in two parallel rows are set.
  • the rail system consists of a short one Inclined elevator from a single pair of rails with inserted Frame and has two foundations for a fixed bearing and a floating bearing.
  • the rail arrangement consisting of a single pair of running rails According to the invention, only a central frame is required as the frame.
  • connection frames provided the protrusion at the ends of the runners equalize the first U-profiles.
  • the U profiles of Lead frames preferably have four holes, of which the middle two to each other in the longitudinal direction with double Overhang are offset and the two end pairs of holes again have the usual division. So the lead frames are twice as long as the central frame; Furthermore they are the same as the central frame.
  • the range with which the Foundations are set preferably the fixed length of the Adjusted rails so that each pair of rails has an associated one Foundation is preserved.
  • the short and medium-length inclined lifts are with a commercial double rope winch including motor, transmission gear and Brake equipped in a special frame between the Running rails are screwed.
  • the winch arranged above the top foundation and thus closes the Track system from above. Basically, it can also be used any other free space between the runners arrange, the two pull cables are then on the upper cross bar of the top final central frame with rollers.
  • Long inclined lifts can make more sense in the invention Limits can be any length. You will be using a revolving pull rope equipped, preferably at one end of the rail system above, a drive wheel wraps around, has a deflection wheel at the other end, being a common tensioning device for tightening the pull rope worries in the empty strand.
  • Preserved inclined lifts with a rotating cable drive preferably wider than winch-operated inclined lifts Frame, so a correspondingly wider gauge that it enables the carriage with its platform to be wider and longer to train.
  • the angle of inclination of the rail arrangement can be adapt to a gradient angle that changes in between by using a Pair of rails is bent with a large radius; the same is also possible on the U-profiles of the frames.
  • the change of Tilt angle can be positive or negative.
  • All inclined lifts are equipped with the usual safety devices provided and receive a control device for starting the required stops.
  • the invention thus represents a modular system for the curvilinear rail system of a stationary inclined elevator because of its flexibility for own project planning and installation by the client is suitable and therefore opposite known systems a very inexpensive alternative shows.
  • a curvilinear inclined elevator with its running rails 1 is erected along an incline line N which extends in a straight line at an inclination angle ⁇ on a falling terrain (not shown in detail); the angle of inclination ⁇ or ⁇ 'of line N can be adapted within wide limits to the corresponding slope.
  • the foundations 5 are placed on the slope at regular intervals of the span W, on which the rail system of the inclined elevator is supported by supports 3,4; the foundations 5 can be cast from concrete, steel structures or the like can also be used.
  • the lowest support 3 in the direction of inclination is designed as a fixed bearing, all other supports 4 are floating bearings.
  • a commercially available double cable winch integrated with motor, transmission gear and brake, is placed between the running rails 1 and screwed to them, cf. the top view shown at the bottom right in FIG. 1, which uses two ropes to pull up or lower the carriage not shown in FIG. 1.
