The support arrangement is also intended in particular for the case where the element 1 is arranged according to Figures 1 and 2 to run on a track having at least two guide rails 2, 4 which are angled relative to one another.

As best shown in Figure 4, adjacent first guide rails 2 form a miter joint with one another. The second guide rails 4 also form a miter joint with each other. In the example of Figure 4, the guide rails 2 are perpendicular to each other, but it is clear that the angle between the rails 2 can be selected freely.

As best shown in Fig. 3, the support / transfer wheel assembly 3 includes at its lower end a body portion 7 connected to element 1, which is rotatably supported on element 1. A body 8 is provided with a wheel 8 for supporting and moving element 1. The wheel 8 is connected by a horizontal shaft 16 to the frame part 7 and is arranged to rest on a guide rail 20, preferably horizontal, arranged on the guide rail 2.

As best shown in Figures 3 and 5, the lower surface 20 of the body 7 is dimensioned such that, when the element 1 is parallel to the guide rails 2, 4, the lower surface 20 is aligned with the groove 12 of the guide rail 2 and thus separate from the guide surfaces 11, 21. The gear wheel unit 3 is dimensioned to accommodate rotation within the first guide rail 2 when moving the element 1 from one guide rail to another past the junction 17. In addition, since the support surface of the wheel 8 abuts against the guide surface 11 of the wheel 8 and said lower surface 20 of the body part 7 is arranged in substantially the same plane, the body 7 may rest with its lower surface 20 on the guide surfaces 11 and 21 in the area of the corner between the guide rail 2 loses its grip on the guide surface 11.

The support surface of the wheel 8 and the lower surface 20 of the body part 7 disposed against the guide surface 11 of the wheel 8 may also be provided on a substantially conical surface co-axial with the axial part 6 (not shown).

Figures 3b and 7 show yet another example in which the projection part 9 forms a fixed part A wheel-like body supported on, or alternatively mounted on, a frame member 7, the lower surface 20 of which is arranged to rest upon a guide surface or - * 25 surfaces designated by reference numeral 22 when moving element 1 from one rail to another.

v. · * Unlike the solutions shown in the other figures, the guide rail 2 below in Figs. 3c and 3d supports the support / drive wheel units 3 of element 1, where ..! The upper rail 4 is only laterally guiding.

O 30: '": In Figs. 3c and 3d, the support / transfer unit 3 has a top end attached to the element ....: 1, a frame member 7 connected to element 1 being rotatably supported to support and move element 1. The wheel 8 is connected by; the center has a recess 24.

3c, the lower surface 20 of the projection 9 of the body part 7 is dimensioned such that, when the element 1 is parallel to the guide rails 2,4, the lower surface 20 is at the recess 24 of the guide rail 2 and thus separate from the guide surface 11. the lower surface 20 of the element 1 from one of the guide rails rests on the guide surface 11 and thus prevents the wheel 8 and at the same time the entire element 1 from moving in the vertical direction.

10

In the case of Fig. 3d, the guide surface 11 is uniform and thus the wheel 8 receives a continuous support from the guide surface 11, whereby the additional support provided by the lower surface 20 of the body part 7 is unnecessary. Thus, in this case, the body part 7 does not require any projection part 9 for use in other embodiments of the invention, whereby the body part 7 15 is also completely free to design.

The suspension arrangement according to the invention operates as follows.

In Fig. 4, the support / drive wheel units 3 of element 1 are shown in four different positions I to IV as the element moves past the junction 17 of the guide rails 2.

In position I, both of the support / transmission wheel units 3 of element 1 are directly on the guide rail 2.
