Abstract

The carriage (10) has rollers (18,19,20,22,25,26) running along the upper surfaces of a rail on each side of a lengthwise slot. The number and positioning of the rollers are such that when travelling over a branch of the rail, at least one roller always rests on one upper surface on both sides of the slot. The carriage has a first and second pair of rollers on each side of the lengthwise slot. The internal distance apart between the rollers of the second pair corresponds to the width of the lengthwise slot.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein verfahrbares Trennwandelement mit einem Trennwandelementblatt und mindestens einem Rollenwagen, an dem das Trennwandelementblatt über mindestens ein sich durch einen Längsschlitz in der Fahrschiene erstrekkendes Tragelement aufgehängt ist und der mindestens ein erstes und ein zweites Paar beidseitig des Längsschlitzes angeordneter Rollen aufweist, wobei das zweite Paar Rollen, in einer ersten Laufrichtung des Rollenwagens betrachtet, vor dem ersten Paar Rollen liegt und die Anordnung der Rollen des Rollenwagens derart getroffen sind, daß bei Überfahren einer Abzweigung der Fahrschiene stets mindestens eine Rolle auf jeweils einer Lauffläche zu beiden Seiten des Längsschlitzes aufliegt.The invention relates to a movable partition element with a partition element sheet and at least one roller carriage on which the partition element sheet over at least one extending through a longitudinal slot in the rail Support element is suspended and the at least a first and a second Pair of rollers arranged on both sides of the longitudinal slot, the second Pair of rollers, viewed in a first direction of travel of the roller carriage, in front of the lies first pair of rollers and the arrangement of the rollers of the roller carriage in such a way are taken that at least always when crossing a branch of the rail a roll on a tread on both sides of the longitudinal slot lies on.

Eine solche Anordnung ist bereits beispielsweise aus der US-A-5 090 171 bekannt.Such an arrangement is already known for example from US-A-5 090 171.

Es ist nun Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, den Rollenwagen derart zu verbessern, daß auch Abzweigungen bzw. Weichen in der Fahrschiene problemlos durchfahren werden können.It is an object of the present invention to improve the roller carriage in such a way that that branches or switches in the rail also pass through without any problems can be.

Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß beim Trennwandelement der eingangs genannten Art der Abstand zwischen den Außenseiten des zweiten Rollenpaares kleiner als der lichte Abstand zwischen den Innenseiten der Rollen des ersten Paares und der Durchmesser der Rollen des zweiten Paares kleiner als der Durchmesser der Rollen des ersten Paares ist. This object is achieved in that the partition element at the beginning mentioned type of distance between the outer sides of the second pair of rollers smaller than the clear distance between the inside of the rollers of the first Pair and the diameter of the rollers of the second pair is smaller than the diameter is the roles of the first couple.

Mit Hilfe der erfindungsgemäßen Konstruktion, die überdies auch ohne größeren Aufwand und somit preiswert festzustellen ist, wird in einfacher, jedoch wirkungsvoller Weise vermieden, daß beim Überqueren des Längsschlitzes in einer Abzweigung der Fahrschiene die Rollen des Rollenwagens in den zu überquerenden Abschnitt der Lenkschiene fallen und dort steckenbleiben. Somit gestattet die Erfindung ein reibungsloses Durchfahren der Abzweigung einer Fahrschiene. Dadurch ist an jeder Stelle der Fahrschiene auch im Bereich von Abzweigungen die Tragfunktion des Rollenwagens stets gewährleistet, so daß das Trennwandelement immer auf gleicher Höhe gehalten wird. Da die Tragfunktion im wesentlichen nur von einem Rollenwagen übernommen zu werden braucht, ist der Durchmesser der Rollen des zweiten Paares kleiner als der der Rollen des ersten Paares, was zu einer weiteren Vereinfachung und somit Kosteneinsparung führt.With the help of the construction according to the invention, which moreover also without major Effort and therefore inexpensive to determine is easier, but more effective Way avoided that when crossing the longitudinal slot in a branch the rails the roles of the roller carriage in the to be crossed Fall section of the steering rail and get stuck there. Thus, the Invention a smooth passage through the branch of a rail. This means that at every point on the rail, even in the area of branches Support function of the roller carriage always guaranteed, so that the partition element is always kept at the same level. Since the supporting function is essentially only needs to be taken over by a roller carriage, is the diameter of the Rolls of the second pair are smaller than that of the rolls of the first pair, resulting in one further simplification and thus cost savings.

Vorzugsweise sind die Rollen jedes Paares symmetrisch zum Längsschlitz angeordnet.The rollers of each pair are preferably arranged symmetrically to the longitudinal slot.

Der lichte Abstand zwischen den Rollen des zweiten Paares sollte der Breite des Längsschlitzes entsprechen. Der Abstand zwischen den Rollen des ersten Paares sollte bevorzugt so bemessen sein, daß die Rollen des ersten Paares im wesentlichen an den Außenseiten der Laufflächen der Fahrschiene entlang laufen. Mit dieser gegenwärtig besonders bevorzugten Ausführung läßt sich insbesondere ein gebogener Fahrschienenabschnitt einer Abzweigung unter Überquerung des Längsschlitzes des anderen Fahrschienenabschnittes problemlos durchfahren.The clearance between the rollers of the second pair should be the width of the Longitudinal slot correspond. The distance between the roles of the first pair should preferably be such that the roles of the first pair essentially run along the outside of the tread of the running rail. With this currently particularly preferred embodiment can be used in particular curved track section of a junction crossing the longitudinal slot drive through the other rail section without any problems.

Eine weitere bevorzugte Ausführung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, daß der Rollenwagen ein drittes Paar beidseitig des Längsschlitzes angeordneter Rollen aufweist, die, in der ersten Laufrichtung des Rollenwagens betracht, hinter dem ersten Paar Rollen liegen. Der Abstand zwischen den Rollen des dritten Paares sollte im wesentlichen dem Abstand zwischen den Rollen des ersten Paares entsprechen, wobei zweckmäßigerweise der Abstand zwischen den Rollen des dritten Paares derart bemessen sein sollte, daß sie im wesentlichen an den Außenseite der Laufflächen entlanglaufen. Durch die Anordnung eines dritten Rollenpaares wird die Fahrstabilität des Rollenwagens insbesondere beim Durchfahren von Abzweigungen noch weiter vergrößert.Another preferred embodiment is characterized in that the roller carriage has a third pair of rollers arranged on both sides of the longitudinal slot, which, viewed in the first direction of travel of the roller carriage, behind the first pair Roles lie. The distance between the rollers of the third pair should be essentially correspond to the distance between the rollers of the first pair, expediently the distance between the rollers of the third pair should be such that they are essentially on the outside of the Walk along the treads. The arrangement of a third pair of rollers Driving stability of the roller carriage, especially when driving through branches magnified even further.

Der Durchmesser der Rollen des dritten Paares kann kleiner als der Durchmesser der Rollen des ersten Paares aus den bereits zuvor genannten Gründen sein. Dabei kann der Durchmesser der Rollen des dritten Paares etwa dem Durchmesser der Rollen des zweiten Paares entsprechen.The diameter of the rollers of the third pair can be smaller than the diameter the roles of the first couple for the reasons already mentioned. Here the diameter of the rollers of the third pair can be approximately the diameter of the roll of the second pair.

Wenn das erste Rollenpaar im wesentlichen die Tragfunktion übernimmt, sollte das Tragelement eine die Drehpunkte der Rollen des ersten Rollenpaares verbindende Linie schneiden. Dadurch findet nicht nur die größte Belastung an den Rollen des ersten Rollenpaares statt, sondern wird auch ein besonders stabiles und ausgeglichenes Fahrverhalten des Rollenwagens erzielt. Bei einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung dieser Ausführung können die Rollen jedes Rollenpaares auf einer gemeinsamen Drehachse liegen, wobei die Drehachse jedes Rollenpaares parallel zueinander liegen sollten.If the first pair of rollers essentially takes on the supporting function, that should Carrying element connecting the pivot points of the rollers of the first pair of rollers Cut line. This not only puts the greatest stress on the roles of the first pair of roles takes place, but will also be a particularly stable and balanced driving behavior of the roller carriage achieved. In a preferred one Further development of this embodiment can the roles of each pair of roles on one common axis of rotation, the axis of rotation of each pair of rollers parallel should lie to each other.

Zweckmäßigerweise kann der Rollenwagen mit mindestens einer seitlichen Führungsrolle versehen sein, deren Achse senkrecht steht und die eine Seitenwand der Fahrschiene berührt, wodurch eine exakte Führung des Rollenwagens entlang der Fahrschiene und insbesondere beim Durchfahren von Abzweigungen realisierbar ist.The roller carriage can expediently have at least one lateral one Be provided guide roller, the axis of which is perpendicular and the one side wall touches the running rail, resulting in an exact guidance of the roller carriage along the rail and especially when driving through branches is.

An der Oberseite 4 des Trennwandelementblattes 2 sind Tragbolzen 6 befestigt, die an noch nachfolgend näher zu beschreibenden Rollenwagen 10 drehbar gelagert sind. Die Rollenwagen 10 laufen auf Laufflächen einer ebenfalls nachfolgend noch näher zu beschreibenden Fahrschiene 50, die einen in Längsrichtung verlaufenden Mittelschlitz aufweist, durch den die Tragbolzen 6 hindurchgeführt sind, wobei die Laufflächen der Fahrschiene 50 beidseitig des Mittelschlitzes vorgesehen sind. Gewöhnlich weist jedes Trennwandelement zwei Rollenwagen 10 mit jeweils einem drehbar daran gelagerten Tragbolzen 6 auf.The partition element 1 shown schematically in FIG. 1 comprises a Partition panel sheet 2, which usually consists of a metal frame and two on both sides of this attached cover plates. At the top 4 of the Partition element sheet 2 are attached to supporting bolts 6, which are still to follow Roller carriages 10 to be described in more detail are rotatably mounted. The roller carriage 10 run on treads one more in the following descriptive travel rail 50, which has a longitudinal central slot has, through which the support bolts 6 are passed, the Treads of the running rail 50 are provided on both sides of the center slot. Each partition wall element usually has two roller carriages 10, each with one pivot pin 6 rotatably mounted thereon.

In den Figuren 2 und 3 ist ein Rollenwagen 10 im einzelnen dargestellt. Der Rollenwagen 10 weist einen Grundkörper 12 auf, der mit einer durchgehenden Bohrung 14 zur drehbaren Lagerung des Tragbolzens 6 versehen ist. An den beiden Seiten 16 und 17 des Grundkörpers 12 ist jeweils eine erste Rolle 18 und 19 drehbar gelagert. Die Rollen 18 und 19, die vorzugsweise kugelgelagert sind bzw. den Außenring eines Kugellagers bilden (siehe hierzu insbesondere Figur 3b), liegen auf einer gemeinsamen Achse und bilden ein erstes Rollenpaar. Die Bohrung 14 zur drehbaren Lagerung des Tragbolzens 6 ist dabei so angeordnet, daß ihre Achse im wesentlichen senkrecht die gemeinsame Achse des ersten Rollenpaares schneidet, wodurch die Traglasten im wesentlichen von den ersten Laufrollen 18, 19 übernommen werden. In Blickrichtung von Figur 2a betrachtet, sind im Bereich der Vorderseite 20 des Grundkörpers 12 vor den ersten Laufrollen 18 und 19 zwei zweite Laufrollen 21 und 22 in einem Abstand voneinander angeordnet. Dabei sind die beiden Laufrollen 21 und 22, die vorzugsweise ebenfalls kugelgelagert sind bzw. aus dem Außenring eines Kugellagers bestehen, im Grundkörper 12 größtenteils versenkt angeordnet, wobei sie mit ihrem Umfang ein wenig über die Vorderseite 20 des Grundkörpers 12 vorstehen und aus dessen Unterseite 23 herausragen. Die Laufrollen 21 und 22 liegen auf einer gemeinsamen Achse und bilden ein zweites Rollenpaar. Benachbart zur Rückseite 24 des Grundkörpers 12 und in Blickrichtung von Figur 2a hinter den ersten Laufrollen 18 und 19 sind an den Seiten 16 und 17 des Grundkörpers 12 jeweils eine dritte Laufrolle 25 und 26 drehbar gelagert, die vorzugsweise ebenfalls kugelgelagert ist oder aus dem Außenring eine Kugellagers besteht (siehe Figur 3b). Die beiden Laufrollen 25 und 26 liegen auf einer gemeinsamen Achse und bilden ein drittes Rollenpaar.A roller carriage 10 is shown in detail in FIGS. 2 and 3. Of the Roller carriage 10 has a base body 12 with a continuous Bore 14 is provided for rotatably supporting the support pin 6. On the two Pages 16 and 17 of the base body 12 are first rollers 18 and 19, respectively rotatably mounted. The rollers 18 and 19, which are preferably ball-bearing or form the outer ring of a ball bearing (see in particular Figure 3b) on a common axis and form a first pair of rollers. The bore 14 for rotatable mounting of the support pin 6 is arranged so that its axis in intersects the common axis of the first pair of rollers substantially perpendicularly, whereby the loads are essentially taken over by the first rollers 18, 19 become. Viewed in the viewing direction of FIG. 2a, in the area of Front 20 of the base body 12 in front of the first rollers 18 and 19 two second rollers 21 and 22 arranged at a distance from each other. Are there the two rollers 21 and 22, which are preferably also ball-bearing or consist of the outer ring of a ball bearing, mostly in the base body 12 arranged sunk, with its circumference a little over the front 20 protrude from the base body 12 and protrude from the underside 23 thereof. The Rollers 21 and 22 lie on a common axis and form a second one Pair of roles. Adjacent to the back 24 of the base body 12 and in the direction of view 2a behind the first rollers 18 and 19 are on the sides 16 and 17 of the base body 12 each have a third roller 25 and 26 rotatably mounted is preferably also ball-bearing or a ball bearing from the outer ring exists (see Figure 3b). The two rollers 25 and 26 lie on one common axis and form a third pair of rollers.

Da die Traglasten im wesentlichen von den ersten Laufrollen 18, 19 übernommen werden, ist deren Durchmesser erkennbar größer als der der zweiten und dritten Laufrollen 21, 22 und 25, 26, die im wesentlichen den gleichen Durchmesser besitzen. Der Abstand zwischen den Laufrollen 25 und 26 des dritten Rollenpaares ist etwa gleich dem Abstand zwischen den Laufrollen 18 und 19 des ersten Rollenpaares, während der Abstand zwischen den Laufrollen 21 und 22 des zweiten Rollenpaares geringer ist. In der dargestellten Ausführung ist der Abstand zwischen den zu den Seiten 16, 17 des Grundkörpers 12 weisenden Außenseiten der Laufrollen 21 und 22 etwas kleiner als der lichte Abstand zwischen den zum Grundkörper 2 weisenden Innenseiten der ersten Laufrollen 18 und 19.Since the loads are essentially taken over by the first rollers 18, 19 , the diameter is noticeably larger than that of the second and third Casters 21, 22 and 25, 26, which are essentially the same diameter have. The distance between the rollers 25 and 26 of the third pair of rollers is approximately equal to the distance between the rollers 18 and 19 of the first pair of rollers, during the distance between the rollers 21 and 22 of the second Pair of roles is less. In the embodiment shown, the distance between the sides of the base 12 facing the sides 16, 17 of the Rollers 21 and 22 slightly smaller than the clear distance between the Base body 2 facing inner sides of the first rollers 18 and 19th

Wie die Figuren 2 und 3 ebenfalls erkennen lassen, sind die Laufrollen jedes Rollenpaares symmetrisch zu einer gedachten in Laufrichtung verlaufenden Mittelachse angeordnet, die auch von der Achse der durchgehenden Bohrung 14 zur drehbaren Aufnahme des Tragbolzens geschnitten wird. Nicht nur die zweiten Laufrollen 21 und 22, sondern auch die ersten Laufrollen 18 und 19 sowie die dritten Laufrollen 25 und 26 ragen mit ihrem Umfang ein wenig über die Unterseite 23 des Grundkörpers 12 hinaus. Dabei sind die Achsen dieser Laufrollen jeweils, abhängig von deren Durchmesser, in einer solchen Höhe angeordnet, daß die Laufrollen mit der Unterseite ihres Umfangs auf einer gemeinsamen Ebene liegen, die von der Lauffläche der nachfolgend beschriebenen Fahrschiene gebildet wird.As can also be seen in FIGS. 2 and 3, the rollers are each Pair of rollers symmetrical to an imaginary running in the direction of rotation Center axis arranged, which is also from the axis of the through bore 14th is cut for the rotatable mounting of the support bolt. Not just the second Rollers 21 and 22, but also the first rollers 18 and 19 and the third rollers 25 and 26 protrude a little over the bottom with their circumference 23 of the base body 12. The axes of these rollers are depending on their diameter, arranged at such a height that the Rollers lie on a common plane with the underside of their circumference, which is formed by the tread of the rail described below.

Auf der Oberseite 28 des Grundkörpers 12 sind benachbart zu der einen Seite 17 zwei Führungsrollen 29 und 30 in einem Abstand zueinander derart liegend drehbar gelagert, daß deren Achsen im wesentlichen senkrecht stehen und rechtwinklig zu den horizontal liegen Achsen der Laufrollen 18, 19, 21, 22, 25 und 26 verlaufen. Die Führungsrollen 29 und 30 laufen in einer in der Fahrschiene vorgesehenen Führungsnut, wodurch der Rollenwagen exakt in die gewünschte Richtung einer Abzweigung geführt wird.On the top 28 of the base body 12 are adjacent to one side 17 two guide rollers 29 and 30 rotatable in such a manner lying at a distance from one another stored that their axes are substantially vertical and at right angles to the horizontal axes of the rollers 18, 19, 21, 22, 25 and 26 extend. The guide rollers 29 and 30 run in a provided in the running rail Guide groove, which means the roller carriage in exactly the desired direction Branch is led.

In Figur 4 ist ein Abschnitt einer Fahrschiene 50 mit einer Abzweigung 60 in Draufsicht schematisch dargestellt. Ferner ist die Lage der Laufrollen 18, 19, 21, 22, 25 und 26 und der Führungsrollen 29, 30 eines entlang der Fahrschiene 50 verfahrbaren Rollenwagens 10 der zuvor beschriebenen Art angedeutet, wobei aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit nur die Laufrollen und Führungsrollen schematisch gezeigt sind, während die übrigen Teile des zuvor beschriebenen Rollenwagens weggelassen sind. Ferner sei in diesem Zusammenhang erwähnt, daß gegenüber den Darstellungen der Figuren 2 und 3 die Führungsrollen 29, 30 an der gegenüberliegenden Seite 16 des Grundkörpers 12 angeordnet sind. Hieraus erkennt man, daß die Anordnung der Führungsrollen 29, 30 nicht auf eine der beiden Seiten 16, 17 des Grundkörpers 12 beschränkt ist; vielmehr richtet sich die Anordnung der Führungsrollen 29, 30 danach, an welcher Seite der Fahrschiene 50 eine Führungsnut 55 vorgesehen ist, in die die Führungsrollen 29, 30 eingreifen und auf die nachfolgend noch näher eingegangen werden soll.FIG. 4 shows a section of a travel rail 50 with a branch 60 in Top view shown schematically. Furthermore, the position of the rollers 18, 19, 21, 22, 25 and 26 and the guide rollers 29, 30 one along the travel rail 50 movable roller carriage 10 of the type described above, wherein from For reasons of clarity, only the rollers and guide rollers schematically are shown, while the remaining parts of the roller carriage described above are omitted. It should also be mentioned in this context that the representations of Figures 2 and 3, the guide rollers 29, 30 on the opposite side 16 of the base body 12 are arranged. Out of this can be seen that the arrangement of the guide rollers 29, 30 is not one of the both sides 16, 17 of the base body 12 is limited; rather the Arrangement of the guide rollers 29, 30 according to which side of the running rail 50 a guide groove 55 is provided, in which the guide rollers 29, 30 engage and which will be discussed in more detail below.

Wie Figur 4a zu entnehmen ist, weist die Fahrschiene 50 einen entlang ihrer Mittelachse in Längsrichtung verlaufenden Mittelschlitz 52, durch den sich der Tragbolzen 6 (vgl. Figur 1) erstreckt, und beiderseitig des Mittelschlitzes 52 ausgebildete ebene horizontale Laufflächen 53 und 54 auf, auf denen die Laufrollen 18, 19, 21, 22, 25 und 26 aufliegen. Die Laufflächen 53 und 54 werden jeweils nach außen von Seitenwänden 51 begrenzt.As can be seen in FIG. 4a, the running rail 50 has one along it Central axis in the longitudinal direction extending central slot 52 through which the Carrying bolt 6 (see FIG. 1) extends, and on both sides of the central slot 52 trained flat horizontal treads 53 and 54 on which the rollers 18, 19, 21, 22, 25 and 26 lie on. The treads 53 and 54 are each limited to the outside by side walls 51.

In Figur 4a lassen sich die in der zuvor beschriebenen Ausführung des Rollenwagens 10 gewählten Abstände zwischen den Laufrollen jedes Rollenpaares im Verhältnis zu den Abmessungen der Fahrschiene 50 erkennen. Der im wesentlichen gleiche Abstand zwischen den Laufrollen 18, 19 des ersten Laufrollenpaares und den Laufrollen 25, 26 des dritten Laufrollenpaares ist so gewählt, daß die Laufrollen 18, 19, 25 und 26 benachbart zu den die Laufflächen 53, 54 begrenzenden Seitenwänden 51 laufen; der Abstand zwischen den Außenseiten der Laufrollen 18, 25 einerseits und der Laufrollen 19, 26 andererseits und somit die Breite der ersten und dritten Laufrollenpaare entspricht daher etwa der Breite der Fahrschiene 50, ist jedoch geringfügig schmaler. Demgegenüber entspricht der lichte Abstand zwischen den Innenseiten der Laufrollen 21, 22 des zweiten Laufrollenpaares der Breite des Mittelschlitzes 52, so daß diese beiden Laufrollen 21, 22 beiderseits des Mittelschlitzes 52 direkt an diesem entlang laufen.In Figure 4a can be in the previously described embodiment of the Roller carriage 10 selected distances between the rollers of each pair of rollers recognize in relation to the dimensions of the rail 50. The one in substantially equal distance between the rollers 18, 19 of the first The pair of rollers and the rollers 25, 26 of the third pair of rollers is so chosen that the rollers 18, 19, 25 and 26 adjacent to the the treads 53, 54 delimiting side walls 51 run; the distance between the Outside of the rollers 18, 25 on the one hand and the rollers 19, 26 on the other and thus the width of the first and third pairs of rollers corresponds approximately the width of the running rail 50, but is slightly narrower. In contrast corresponds to the clear distance between the inner sides of the rollers 21, 22 of the second pair of rollers the width of the central slot 52, so that these two Rollers 21, 22 run on both sides of the central slot 52 directly along this.

Der in Figur 4a gezeigte Abschnitt der Fahrschiene 50 enthält eine Abzweigung 60, wodurch die Fahrschiene 50 in einen geradlinig weiterführenden ersten Abschnitt 50a und einen gebogenen abzweigenden zweiten Abschnitt 50b aufgeteilt wird. Dementsprechend geht die erste Lauffläche 53 in die Lauffläche 53a des ersten Fahrschienenabschnittes 50a über, während die zweite Lauffläche 54 in die Lauffläche 54b des zweiten Fahrschienenabschnittes 50b übergeht. Mit der Abzweigung 60 teilt sich auch der Mittelschlitz 52 in den Mittelschlitz 52a des ersten Fahrschienenabschnittes 50a und den Mittelschlitz 52b des zweiten Fahrschienenabschnittes 50b. Dementsprechend wird im ersten Fahrschienenabschnitt 50a eine neue zweite Lauffläche 54a gebildet, die mit der zweiten Lauffläche 54 fluchtet, jedoch von dieser durch den vom Mittelschlitz 52 abzweigenden Mittelschlitz 52b des zweiten Fahrschienenabschnittes 50b unterbrochen ist. Ferner wird durch die Abzweigung 56 im zweiten Fahrschienenabschnitt 50b eine neue erste Lauffläche 53b gebildet, die mit der zweiten Lauffläche 54a des ersten Fahrschienenabschnittes 50a einen gemeinsamen Ursprung im Bereich der Abzweigung 60 hat, jedoch von der ersten Lauffläche 53 durch den Mittelschlitz 52a des ersten Fahrschienenabschnittes 50a unterbrochen ist und gegenüber der zweiten Lauffläche 54b die andere Seite des Mittelschlitzes 52b des zweiten Fahrschienenabschnittes 50b begrenzt.The section of the travel rail 50 shown in FIG. 4a contains a branch 60, whereby the running rail 50 into a straight forward first section 50a and a curved branching second section 50b is divided. Accordingly, the first tread 53 goes into the tread 53a of the first Track section 50a over, while the second tread 54 in the Tread 54b of the second rail section 50b merges. With the Branch 60 also divides the central slot 52 into the central slot 52a of the first track section 50a and the center slot 52b of the second Track section 50b. Accordingly, in the first Rail section 50a formed a new second tread 54a, which with the second tread 54 is aligned, however, from this through that of the central slot 52 branching central slot 52b of the second rail section 50b interrupted is. Furthermore, through the branch 56 in the second rail section 50b, a new first tread 53b is formed which mates with the second Tread 54a of the first rail section 50a a common Originates in the area of the junction 60, but from the first tread 53 interrupted by the central slot 52a of the first rail section 50a and opposite the second tread 54b is the other side of the center slot 52b of the second track section 50b limited.

Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel von Figur 4a ist im Bereich der zweiten Lauffläche 54, die in die zweite Lauffläche 54b des abzweigenden zweiten Fahrschienenabschnittes 50b übergeht, eine Führungsnut 56 vorgesehen, die den bogenförmigen Verlauf des abgezweigten zweiten Fahrschienenabschnittes 50b mitmacht. Die Führungsnut 56 ist oberhalb der Lauffläche 54 bzw. 54b angeordnet (beispielsweise an der Oberseite eines die Fahrschiene 50 bildenden Hohlprofils) und wird von zwei Seitenwänden 57 und 58 begrenzt, zwischen denen die Führungsrollen 29 und 30 des Rollenwagens laufen. Der beschriebene Verlauf der Führungsnut 56 bewirkt in dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel eine Zwangsführung des Rollenwagens von der Fahrschiene 50 über die Abzweigung 56 in den abgezweigten zweiten Fahrschienenabschnitt 50b. Selbstverständlich kann eine Führungsnut auch im Bereich der ersten Lauffläche 53 der Fahrschiene 50 und der sich daran anschließenden ersten Lauffläche 53a des geradlinig weiterführenden ersten Fahrschienenabschnittes 50a vorgesehen sein, so daß Rollenwagen mit in einer solchen Führungsnut geführten Führungsrollen über die Abzweigung 56 geradeaus in den ersten Fahrschienenabschnitt 50a zwangsweise verfahren werden.In the illustrated embodiment of Figure 4a is in the area of the second Tread 54 that branches into the second tread 54b of the branching second Rail section 50b merges, a guide groove 56 is provided which the arcuate course of the branched second rail section 50b participates. The guide groove 56 is arranged above the tread 54 or 54b (For example on the upper side of a hollow profile forming the running rail 50) and is delimited by two side walls 57 and 58, between which the Guide rollers 29 and 30 of the roller carriage run. The course of the described Guide groove 56 causes a in the illustrated embodiment Forced guidance of the roller carriage from the running rail 50 via the branch 56 in the branched second rail section 50b. Of course you can a guide groove also in the area of the first tread 53 of the running rail 50 and the adjoining first tread 53a of the straight-line one first track section 50a may be provided so that roller carriages with in such guide groove guided guide rollers via the branch 56 drive straight ahead into the first rail section 50a become.

In den nachfolgenden Figuren 4b bis 4e ist schematisch dargestellt, wie der zuvor beschriebene Rollenwagen über die Abzweigung 56 in den abzweigenden bogenförmigen zweiten Fahrschienenabschnitt 50b verfahren wird. Aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit sind in diesen Figuren nur die wichtigsten Bezugszeichen angegeben.In the following Figures 4b to 4e is shown schematically, like the one before Roller carriage described on the branch 56 in the branching arcuate second rail section 50b is moved. For reasons For the sake of clarity, only the most important reference symbols are used in these figures specified.

Über den gesamten dargestellten Bewegungsweg haben die ersten bis dritten Laufrollen 18, 22 und 25 ständig Kontakt mit der zweiten Lauffläche 54 der Fahrschiene 50 und der sich daran anschließenden zweiten Lauffläche 54b des abgezweigten zweiten Fahrschienenabschnittes 50b.The first to third have the entire path of movement shown Rollers 18, 22 and 25 are in constant contact with the second tread 54 Track 50 and the adjoining second tread 54b of the branched second rail section 50b.

In der in Figur 4b gezeigten Stellung, in der der Rollenwagen in die Abzweigung hineinfährt, überquert die zweite Laufrolle 21 den Mittelschlitz 52a des ersten Fahrschienenabschnittes 50a und hängt somit 'in der Luft'. Gleichwohl wird ein unerwünschtes Kippen des Rollenwagens verhindert, sondern bleibt der Rollenwagen in seiner waagerechten Lage, da die erste Laufrolle 19 und die dritte Laufrolle 26 noch auf der ersten Lauffläche 53 der Fahrschiene 50 aufliegen und somit zusammen mit den gegenüberliegenden Laufrollen 18, 22 und 25 einen sicheren Halt des Rollenwagens gewährleisten. Unterstützt wird dies im übrigen dadurch, daß die Bohrung 14 (siehe Figuren 2 und 3), die den Tragbolzen 6 (siehe Figur 1) drehbar aufnimmt, über den der gesamte Lastabtrag stattfindet, mit ihrer Achse die Achse des ersten Laufrollenpaares 18, 19 vertikal schneidet, wodurch im wesentlichen die gesamte Belastung von den ersten Laufrollen 18, 19 aufgefangen wird.In the position shown in Figure 4b, in which the roller carriage in the branch drives in, the second roller 21 crosses the central slot 52a of the first Track section 50a and thus hangs 'in the air'. Nevertheless, a prevents unwanted tipping of the roller carriage, but remains the Roller carriage in its horizontal position since the first roller 19 and the third Roller 26 still rest on the first running surface 53 of the running rail 50 and thus together with the opposite rollers 18, 22 and 25 one Ensure a secure hold of the roller carriage. This is also supported characterized in that the bore 14 (see Figures 2 and 3), the support pin 6 (see Figure 1) rotatably receives, over which the entire load transfer takes place with your Axis intersects the axis of the first pair of rollers 18, 19 vertically, whereby essentially the entire load from the first rollers 18, 19th is caught.

In der in Figur 4c gezeigten Stellung überquert zwar die erste Laufrolle 19 den Mittelschlitz 52a des ersten Fahrschienenabschnittes 50a, jedoch wird der Rollenwagen zusätzlich zu den auf der gegenüberliegenden zweiten Lauffläche 54 bzw. 54b aufliegenden Laufrollen 18, 22 und 25 auch noch von der vorlaufenden zweiten Laufrolle 21, die bereits auf der ersten Lauffläche 53 des abzweigenden zweiten Fahrschienenabschnittes 50b aufliegt, sowie von der nachlaufenden dritten Laufrolle 26, die noch auf der erste Lauffläche 53 der Fahrschiene 50 aufliegt, gestützt.In the position shown in Figure 4c, the first roller 19 crosses the Center slot 52a of the first rail section 50a, however, the Roller carriages in addition to those on the opposite second tread 54 or 54b resting rollers 18, 22 and 25 also from the leading one second roller 21, which is already on the first tread 53 of the branching second rail section 50b rests, as well as from the trailing third Roller 26, which still rests on the first running surface 53 of the running rail 50, supported.

In der in Figur 4d gezeigten Situation ist der Rollenwagen so weit in den abzweigenden zweiten Fahrschienenabschnitt 50b vorgefahren worden, daß nun bereits die erste Laufrolle 19 und die zweite Laufrolle 21 auf der ersten Lauffläche 53b des zweiten Fahrschienenabschnittes 50b aufliegen, während die nachlaufende dritte Laufrolle 26 über dem zu querenden Mittelschlitz 52a des ersten Fahrschienenabschnittes 50a schwebt.In the situation shown in Figure 4d, the roller carriage is so far in the branching second rail section 50b has been advanced that now already the first roller 19 and the second roller 21 on the first tread 53b of the second rail section 50b rest while the trailing one third roller 26 over the center slot 52a of the first to be crossed Track section 50a hovers.

Bei der in Figur 4e gezeigten Situation ist nun der Rollenwagen vollständig in den abgezweigten zweiten Fahrschienenabschnitt 50b fortbewegt worden, so daß nun alle Laufrollen 18, 19, 21, 22, 25 und 26 auf den Laufflächen 53b und 54b des zweiten Fahrschienenabschnittes 50b aufliegen und der Rollenwagen nun entlang dieses zweiten Fahrschienenabschnittes 50b weiterbewegt werden kann.In the situation shown in Figure 4e, the roller carriage is now completely in the branched second rail section 50b has been moved so that now all rollers 18, 19, 21, 22, 25 and 26 on the treads 53b and 54b of the rest on the second rail section 50b and now along the roller carriage this second rail section 50b can be moved further.

Wie zuvor anhand der Figuren 4a bis e dargestellt worden ist, kann aufgrund der beschriebenen Anordnung der Laufrollen der Rollenwagen problemlos über eine Abzweigung 56 bewegt werden, ohne daß er mit einer Laufrolle in einen zu überquerenden Mittelschlitz fällt und dort verhakt.As has been shown previously with reference to FIGS. 4a to e, the described arrangement of the rollers of the roller carriage easily over a Branch 56 can be moved without it with a roller in one crossing central slot falls and hooked there.
