Abstract
A trolley for track systems with essentially right-angled intersections is equipped with raisable and lowerable rollers which can be lowered to engage with, and raised to disengage with, one of the pairs of tracks. A common actuator (76,78) simultaneously lowers, in relation to the trolley, the rollers associated with one pair of tracks and raises the rollers associated with the intersecting pair of tracks.
Claims12
A trolley for track systems with essentially right-angled intersections, comprising:
- raisable and lowerable rollers on the trolley for alternatively engaging with one pair of intersecting pairs of tracks of a track system, and
- an actuator for simultaneously raising, in relation to the trolley, the rollers which engage with one pair of tracks, and lowering, in relation to the trolley, the rollers which engage with the intersecting pair of tracks.
The trolley of claim 2, wherein the rollers are mounted on the trolley by means of suspension arms in such a way that a horizontal pushing or pulling force lifts or lowers the rollers in relation to the trolley.
