Problems solved by technology

Such an organization of the carrier vehicles does however represent a real problem.
But the permanent nature of the guiding link between the carrier vehicle and the buckling of the track does not enable the carrier vehicles to be guided along one branch during

Embodiment Construction

[0020]The illustrated transport installation comprises a single running track 10 along which at least one passive carrier vehicle 11 resting on the ground runs in longitudinal manner to move in to-and-fro manner along the running track. Two end terminals (not shown) are joined by running track 10, whereas hauling ropes (only two hauling ropes 12, 13 are illustrated at the level of a given lateral cross-section), to which carrier vehicle 11 is successively coupled to be hauled on track 10, are arranged along the part of at least one of the lateral edges 14, 15 of running track 10 by support means of carrier ropes 12, 13 during running. A drive unit (not shown) is associated with each hauling rope 12, 13 to make the latter run along track 10.

[0021]Running track 10 is equipped with two guiding elements arranged along the track to guide the carrier vehicle laterally during movement of the latter along the track, whereas the carrier vehicle comprises support means to keep the latter secu...

Abstract

A transport installation having at least one carrier vehicle moving longitudinally in to-and-fro manner along a single running track being guided by two guiding elements each following one of the lateral branches of the track in a crossing area. The carrier vehicle carries two independent gripping mechanisms respectively associated with the two guiding elements and each able to temporarily secure the carrier vehicle in the lateral direction to the associated guiding elements. Such gripping mechanisms constitute on-board devices for selecting the branch associated with its direction of running on entering a crossing area.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to a transport installation comprising:[0002]at least one carrier vehicle resting on the ground to move longitudinally in to-and-fro manner along a single running track,[0003]two end terminals connected by the running track,[0004]at least one crossing area where the running track is locally split into two laterally offset branches each respectively associated with outgoing movement and return movement of the carrier vehicle,[0005]at least one pair of main support units carried by the carrier vehicle,[0006]and two guiding elements arranged along the track to guide the carrier vehicle laterally in cooperation with the main support units, and each following one of the lateral branches in continuous manner.STATE OF THE ART[0007]Such a transport installation with a passive carrier vehicle made to run along the running track by possibly reversible securing to hauling ropes running in opposite directions is known for example from the d...
