NONORAIL VEHICLE TRACK Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: transport engineering; monorail vehicles.

SUBSTANCE: proposed track includes flexible carrying belt with rigidity members secured on supports and it has pair of lower horizontal rolling planes 12, 13 with relatively small coefficient of adhesion for support rollers and pair of upper vertical rolling planes 14, 15 with relatively high coefficient of adhesion for side drive rollers. Flexible carrying belt 11 preliminarily curved and forming an arch in profile is provided with periodically installed cross members 16. Lower horizontal rolling planes are located on rigid running shelves attached to carrying belt, and upper vertical rolling planes are located on side surfaces of rigid U-shaped members 17 installed over top of carrying belt for longitudinal displacement relative to belt, being interconnected in succession.

EFFECT: reduced mass of track prevention of concentration of longitudinal load on any section of track.
