The towed suspension vehicle according to the present embodiment is a device that is suspended by an elevated railroad and travels while being towed by a towline to carry personnel, luggage, and the like. ) 15, the vehicle 12 is suspended and driven by gripping the rope 4 which circulates around the fixed receiving wheel 5 through the gripping machine 6 mounted on the traveling device 15. It is lighter than a self-propelled suspension type vehicle that is equipped with a driving device such as a monorail on a traveling device of a vehicle and collects electric power from an overhead line laid along an elevated railroad track to travel. In addition to being able to easily manufacture the pillars, foundations, etc. that support the vehicle, and greatly reducing the construction cost, there is no need to mount a drive device such as a motor on the vehicle, and there is no problem related to noise. Further, since the vehicle is supported and guided by a rail, it is possible to travel more stably against wind and the like as compared to a ropeway or the like, and it is possible to travel in a curved line in the horizontal direction, which is impossible in the ropeway or the like. 16 is a running wheel, 1
Reference numeral 7 is a guiding theory for guiding the traveling device 15 along the rail 1. When the vehicle 12 is horizontal and straight, the traveling device 1
The rope 4 that pulls the vehicle 5 is located on the center line of the vehicle 12.

The rail 1 for supporting and guiding the traveling device 15 is horizontally installed with a predetermined radius of curvature, whereas the rope 4 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the column. Since it is wound and stretched around the receiving ring 5, the fixed receiving ring 5
The space between them is stretched linearly. Therefore, the traveling device 15
When passing through the midpoint of the fixed receiving ring 5, a deviation occurs between the position of the rope 4 and the center of the vehicle 12, that is, the center of the grip portion 13 at the tip of the gripping machine 6, and the rope 4 The vehicle travels from the normal position to the center position of the vehicle 12 in a state of being pulled by force, which changes the horizontal positional relationship between the rope 4 and the fixed receiving wheel 5 to make the fixed receiving rope unstable. The risk of detaching from the wheel 5 increases, and when the traveling device 15 passes through the fixed receiving wheel 5, the grip portion 13 at the tip of the gripping machine 6 contacts the outer peripheral surface of the fixed receiving wheel 5 so as to ride on it. Then, through the gripping machine 6, the vehicle 12
As shown in the figure, the fixed receiving wheel 5 is located on the center side of the radius of curvature with respect to the center line of the rail that is curved in the horizontal direction so as not to give an impact to the rail 1. It is arranged via the fixed bracket 2 and the receiving wheel mounting base 3. The position of the fixed receiving ring 5 is such that the center of the wound rope 4 is the center of the rail 1, that is, the radius dimension P of the rope 4 from the grip portion 13 at the tip of the gripping machine 6 that grips the rope 4. It is set so that the gripping portion 13 does not come into contact with the outer periphery of the fixed receiving ring 5 apart from each other. Further, an arm 8 is provided so as to be located in front of and behind the fixed receiving wheel 5 and swing around the pin 7.
A movable receiving ring 9 is provided at the tip of the movable receiving ring 9.
A shaft 10 fitted to the bracket 2 is attached to the central portion of the arm 8, and a force for oscillating the movable receiving wheel 9 toward the side indicated by the arrow to move by the action of the return spring 11 is added and engaged. The cords 4 that are in contact with each other are slightly pushed out to the outside, that is, toward the rail 1. Fixed receiving ring 5 and movable receiving ring 9
The positions in the height direction of and correspond to the set traveling height of the rope 4.

The rope 4 in the vicinity of the fixed receiving wheel 5 is wound around the fixed receiving wheel 5 without being affected by the pressing force of the movable receiving wheel 9 in a normal state where the vehicle 12 does not pass, and is shown by a solid line. As shown in FIG. However, when the vehicle 12 approaches, it is pulled toward the rail 1 by the grip portion 13 at the tip of the gripping machine 6, so that the route is changed as shown by the chain double-dashed line. With such a movement of the cord 4, the movable receiving ring 9 moves together with the cord 4 to the position indicated by the alternate long and short dash line by the force exerted by the return spring 11.
Guide the vertical position of the rope 4. Therefore, the grip portion 13 at the tip of the gripping machine 6 can move without contacting the outer peripheral surface of the fixed receiving ring 5 even when passing through the fixed receiving ring 5. When the vehicle 12 passes the fixed receiving wheel 5, the rope 4 returns to its original position by the guide of the movable receiving wheel 9 and is reliably delivered to the guide groove of the fixed receiving wheel 5.
There is no risk of getting out of the room. The gripping portion 13 at the tip of the gripping machine 6 makes a slight contact when passing through the movable receiving wheel 9, but the impact due to the escape due to the swing of the movable receiving wheel 9 is extremely small and affects the riding comfort. Not the one. As a result, it is possible to eliminate the impact of the vehicle 12 passing through the fixed receiving wheel 5 and to greatly improve the safety against the derailment.

Therefore, the impact caused by the passage of the vehicle 12 is alleviated and further reduced.

As described above, in these towed suspension vehicles, the inside of the rail 1 is engaged with the rail 4 before and after the fixed receiving wheel 5 that winds and runs the rope 4 on the curved rail 1. One set or a plurality of sets of movable receiving wheels 9 for applying a predetermined pressing force to the gripping unit 1 at the tip of the gripping machine 6 are installed.
The fixed receiving wheel 5 is arranged inside the rail at a predetermined distance so that the vehicle 3 does not come in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the fixed receiving wheel 5, and the vehicle 12 is fixed to the fixed receiving rail 5 in the horizontally curved rail 1. The tip of the gripping machine 6 that grips the rope 4 when passing through the rope 5 does not come into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the fixed receiving wheel 5, and the impact is reduced and the riding comfort is not impaired. Further, when the rope 4 travels away from the guide groove of the fixed rope 5, the movable rope 9 before and after the fixed rope 5 moves to the outside, and always contacts the rope 4 to move in the vertical position. After the vehicle 12 passes, the vehicle 12 is surely returned to the guide groove of the fixed receiving wheel 5 so that there is no danger of removing the vehicle. As a result, the comfortable riding comfort and driving safety of this vehicle are significantly improved. In addition,
