Abstract

A transport system employs peristalsis. In one embodiment, a wheeled vehicle is mounted on rails (2, 4) between which is located an inflatable hose (10). The vehicle has an abutment which contacts the hose (10). Inflation of this hose (10) causes movement of the vehicle in the direction of travel of the fluid used to inflate the hose. The fluid flow is reversible. In an alternative embodiment, the inflatable hose is in direct contact between the wheels and the rails. In a further alternative, an inflatable member is disposed beneath a static conveyor run and, by causing undulations in the run, propels articles along it. <IMAGE>
