Claims20
A track device comprising:
- a switching section configured to switch a running path for guiding a wheel of a running body to running paths in multiple directions;
- and
- a traveling path guide portion disposed along the running path which follows a different direction from an inertial direction of the running body.
A running body comprising:
- a wheel configured to run on a running path of a track member while being guided;
- a traveling path switching portion configured to be brought into engagement with a traveling path guide portion disposed along the running path which follows a different direction from an inertial direction of running at a switching section where the running path is switched to running paths in multiple directions;
- and
- a control unit configured to cause the traveling path switching portion to be brought into engagement with or disengaged from the traveling path guide portion at the switching section to thereby determine whether or not a running direction is guided along the traveling path guide portion.
