Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 9, 1922..
Application filed June 30, 1920. Serial No. 393,217.
(GRANTED UNDER THE PROVISIUNS OF THE ACT OF MARCH 3,1921, 41 STAT. 11., 1313.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Trrnonon RoeH- MANNs, a citizen of the German Republic, and residing at Sonsbeck, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Monorail Railway with Aeroplane Cars, (for which I have filed an application in Germany Mar. 1, 1918, Patent #334,361,) of which the following is a specification.
The invention refers to a mono-rail railway, the cars of which are equipped with supporting and equilibrium planes similar to those of a flying machine and by means of these planes the car is kept in complete balance while running along the mono-rail, the track being at the same time relieved from the weight of the car.
The essential point of the invention is that the car body is vertically movable with in certain limits and connected to the motordriven carriage. The fore carrying or driving wheel is a toothed wheel, which is permanently geared to the rigid toothed track.
Owing to this arrangement a sufficient adhesion between driving wheel and track necessary for a satisfactory service-as well as a high speed are obtained and in addition the track will be relieved by the lifting power of the 'air which circumstance allows the track and its substructure to be made lighter. The favourable distribution of the weight of the car and its load will prevent the running car from skidding.
Fig. 1 of the drawing is a perspective view of the new railway, Fig. 2 is a longi tudinal section and Fig- 3 is a cross section on line AB. v
The car hanging down on either side of the track (a) is built in such a way that its centre of gravity lies deeper than the upper edge of the track. The car body (6) which preferably at its upper sides or lower sides bears supporting and balancing planes (6, c, d), is equipped at its inner sides with vertical guides (f) sliding in which are corresponding guide bars (9) of the carriage (8), this latter being equipped with the driving motors (h) and with the two carrying wheels (2', '5 arranged one behind the other, the fore wheel (2') being driven by the motors (h). The displacement of the car body (6) on the carriage is limited by suitable means such as loose chains (is) connecting said car body to the carriage, so that the car body (6) owing to the buoyancy produced whilst running at a normal speed, can move only to a certain extent upwards, any further upward move being prevented by the weight of the carriage.
The carriage is equipped with arms (Z) reaching with their hook-shaped ends (m) under the track, whereby the carriage is hindered from lifting off the track when running at a high speed.
The carrying wheel of the carriage is a toothed wheelv having teeth at eitherxsides of its tread. At suitable dis tances pins (0) are arranged on both sides of the rail, to which the teeth of the toothed carrying wheel will gear when the car is moving along. Even when the car body is a little lifted, the carrying wheels will not slip on the track.
The teeth of the carrying wheel as well as the corresponding part of the rail to which said teeth will gear, may be of any suitable form, the essential point being only that both parts will gear into each other like teeth, thus preventing the wheels slipping. The car body may also he of any suitable form and accommodated for passengers or goods.
The motors (it) may be driven by any fuel or by electricity led to the motors in any suitable way.
I claim:
1. Mono-rail railway having aeroplane cars, consisting of a track, a carriage with wheels, a tail for said carrying wheels, the movement of the box-shaped room, flytoothed-shaped means on said rail, t00theding and supporting planes fastened to said shaped pins on the carrying Wheel destined box-shaped room, means on the carriage 10 to gear to the toothedshaped means of the preventing the lifting off the track, substanrail, driving means for this toothed earrytially as described.
