Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a track system comprising a downwardly inclined track and a connected, backwardly extending, upwardly sloping traction track with associated passenger-con ⁇ veying vehicle sledge or rodel, where the track is in the form of a monorail bar and where the vehicle is equipped with wheels and/or slide means which are supported against the bar and is equipped with brake means which cooperate with equivalent braking surfaces on the bar, the bar being provided with an upper support portion, preferably having a circular or substantially circular peripheral surface, for the support of support wheels and/or support slide means of the vehicle on opposite sides of the peripheral surface.
  • Present invention is based on the vehicle, preferably with associated passengers in place on the vehicle, being able to be guided by way of introduction by means of an associated traction mechanism from a point of departure via an upwardly inclined track to a starting point at the top of a downwardly inclined track.
  • the invention is further based on the vehicle being able " to be advanced via the downwardly inclined track, by means of the weight loading from the vehicle and associated passengers who are located on the vehicle, back to the point of departure.
  • the aim is a system which can be employed all the year round, that is to say during summer con ⁇ ditions with and without precipitation as well as during winter conditions, for example with precipitation in the form of snow or rain or with ice formations.
  • the aim is a robust and reliable solution, where one becomes more or less independent of change ⁇ able weather and temperature conditions.
  • tracks are known having chute-shaped, that is to say concavely curved cross-sections.
  • tracks are known having chute-shaped, that is to say concavely curved cross-sections.

  • the track system according to the invention is characterised in that the bar, which consists of an upper support portion known per se also has a lower support portion, which support portions are separately connected to a common framework with which the bar is fastened to the ground, support wheels and/or slide means of the vehicle being exclusively supported in the upper support portion of the bar, while brake blocks or brake maans and guide wheels or guide slide means of the vehicle are supported on opposite sides of the lower support portion, and that the upper support portion is somewhat more moveable relative to the common framework than the lower support portion.
  • the lower support portion which shall form a support for guide wheels or guide slide means, and which shall form a reliable stop for brake blocks or other braking means, can correspondingly be supported separately in the frame ⁇ work, that is to say independently of the possible local, elastic deformations in the upper support portion. Consequently provision can be made in an easy manner for rigidly connecting the lower support portion directly to the framework, so that an effective support is obtained for guide wheels, brake blocks, etc. directly via the framework to the ground, outside the upper support portion. The result is that according to the conditions a readily adaptable system is achieved.
  • the upper support portion is locally secured to, but in addition axially and peripherally moveable relative to longitudinal parts of the framework, and that the lower support portion is rigidly con ⁇ nected to transverse parts of the framework, the longitudinal parts being rigidly connected to the transverse parts inde ⁇ pendently of the upper and lower support portion.
