• Each slide 1 and 2 consists of at least one slide 1, which is at least partially supported by columnar supports 2. It leads from a launch site or launch tower 4 into a water basin 3 and is continuously flushed with water.
• Each slide 1 is composed of track sections 20, which can be circular, for example, but also crerade-shaped.
• Each butt joint 21 of two web sections 20 (FIG. 5) is supported by a cantilever beam 5 which extends radially from a support 2 and is held on the support 2 by means of an upper-angled guy element 7 (FIG. 3).
• the fastening parts 6, 8 for the cantilever 5 and the bracing element 7 are formed, for example, by cylindrical tube pieces or sleeves which can be fixed on the support at any desired height (arrows I in Fig. 3).
• the slide 1 can therefore on a support
• Support 2 arranged, it can be pot-shaped and consist of a sleeve with a covering plate attached. In this case, the cover plate rests on the end face of the support 2.
• Each fastening part 8, 8 ' has at least one laterally projecting fastening tab 10, in which the guy element 7 is articulated.
• a plurality of fastening tabs 10 for a plurality of guy elements 7 can be arranged on a fastening part 8, 8 ′.
• Anchor plates can also be used as fastening parts 6, 8, which are connected to holding plates welded to the support.
• the cantilever beams 5 are designed as cylindrical tubes, on each of which a sleeve 9 is arranged so as to be longitudinally displaceable as a fastening part for the guy element 7 is net, which has a mounting tab 12 (Fig. 4).
• the other end of the preferably longitudinally adjustable clamping element 7 is suspended in this fastening tab 12.
• the height adjustability of the fastening parts 6, 8 and, in the case of cylindrical tubular pieces, their rotatability on the support 2, the longitudinal displaceability of the sleeve 9 on the cantilever beam 5 and the pivotability of the guy element 7 about the pivot pins 11, 13 in the fastening tabs 10, 12 enable any line arrangement the slide, on which the number of cantilevers 5 arranged on a support 2 also depends.
• a support member 15 is arranged to be longitudinally displaceable in the direction of the arrows E.
• the support member 15 is also about the longitudinal axis B of the cantilever 5 in
• Direction of arrows F pivotable, whereby the longitudinal inclination of the web sections 20 can be adjusted.
• a pivot bearing 16 in the form of a bolt, about the axis C of which a sliding shoe 17 can be pivoted, which is additionally in the direction of the arrows H on the pivot bearing. 16 is displaceable.
• the pivot bearing 16 serves to produce the lateral inclination of the track sections 20 and the displaceability of the sliding shoe 17 to compensate for slight design-related inaccuracies.
• Holding parts 18 are connected to the slide shoe 17, this connection being able to be rigid when the track sections 20 are designed exclusively in the form of a circular arc. If non-circular path sections 20 are also carried by the cantilever beams 5, the connection between the sliding shoe 17 and the holding part 18 is also articulated according to FIG. 7. For this purpose, another is on the slide shoe 17 Pivot bearing 19 is provided, in which the holding part 18 can be rotated about the axis D, which is oriented perpendicular to the axes C and B. This enables any adjustment of the holding parts 18 with respect to the support 2.
• Each holding part 18 serves to support one

• the flanges 23 of two web sections 20 engage between the side webs 25 of the cross-sectionally U-shaped sections 22 of the holding part 18 and are through with them.
• Connected connecting elements 24 which pass through the side webs 25 and the flanges 23.
• Elastic bodies 27 are also arranged between each side web 25 and a flange 23 and are used for combating shrinkage, damping noise and compensating for the expansion of the web sections 20.
