Abstract
In the overhead vehicle system, the first rail and the second rail are disposed in a grid. The first rail (or second rail) is disposed such that a gap through which the connecting part below the traveling wheel is able to pass is formed between the rail and an intersection rail disposed at an intersection in the grid. The first rail (or the second rail) includes an auxiliary member configured to be removably attached to the attachment portion provided at the end in the longitudinal direction, the auxiliary member protruding from the rail upper surface of the rail and coming into contact with the auxiliary wheel.
Claims6
Travel rail on which a traveling vehicle travels, the traveling vehicle having a traveling wheel coming into contact with a rail upper surface and auxiliary wheels each located above the rail upper surface when the traveling wheel comes into contact with the rail upper surface, and which can be disposed in a grid in a first direction and in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction,
- the travel rail being disposed such that a gap through which a connecting part provided below the traveling wheel is able to pass is formed between the travel rail and an intersection rail disposed at an intersection in the grid,
- the travel rail comprising an auxiliary member configured to be removably attached to an attachment portion provided at an end of a longitudinal direction, the auxiliary member protruding from the rail upper surface and coming into contact with the auxiliary wheel.
