TRANSFER BETWEEN TRACKS Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: transportation technology. SUBSTANCE: this relates to transfer between tracks made of beams or rails which can be of various length for track-bound transportation facilities. For realization of transfers, beams or rails adapted for elastic bending are displaced along travel of switch link between track lines. Irrespective of actual length of transfer units, sections of beams or rails are made for possible elastic bending according to similar or approximately similar relative length of sections. Aforesaid invention is aimed at simplifying or standardizing transfer components for high-speed magnetic suspension transportation track lines. EFFECT: higher efficiency.
