Abstract

PURPOSE:To regularly keep the horizontal posture of a car main body even when a rail consists of curved rails different in curvature radius or rectilinear rails different in inclination. CONSTITUTION:In a towing type suspended car in which a car main body 12 suspended by a rail 1 is driven by a rope 4 wound on a plurality of fixed rope receiving wheels 5 and moved thereby through a rope gripping machine 6, the car rolling main body 12 is connected to the traveling device 15 for the towing type suspended car through a pin 21 in such a manner as to be capable of swinging.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a towed suspension type vehicle characterized by a method of connecting a traveling device and a vehicle body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 2, in a conventional towed suspension vehicle 20, a vehicle body 12 is suspended by a traveling device 15 which is supported by a rail 1 and is guided and moved. 1
(Refer to FIG. 4), the rope 4 that circulates and travels.
It is driven by grasping via the gripping machine 6 attached to the. The vehicle body 12 is fixedly attached to the traveling device 15. In the figure, reference numeral 16 is a traveling wheel, and 17 is a guide wheel for guiding the traveling device 15 along the rail 1.
By the way, in the conventional case, the rail 1 also has a curved portion, but most of it is a linear portion, and the inclination of this linear portion is slight, and the curved portion and the linear portion are installed in substantially the same horizontal plane.

[0003]

However, the recent railroad track 1
1 is composed of a horizontal linear track X which occupies most of the area as shown in FIG. 1, a curved track Y having different bending directions and radii of curvature in a vertical plane, and a linear track Z having different inclinations. There is a problem that the inclination of the vehicle 20 at each position of 1, that is, the inclination of the vehicle main body 12 is variously changed, the seat on which the passenger is seated is inclined, the posture of the passenger swings, and the riding comfort is deteriorated. On the other hand, similar to towed suspension type vehicles, ropeways and other vehicles that are indexed by ropes have a substantially constant slope, so the seats of the vehicle body are installed horizontally in a staircase according to this inclination. There are also vehicles that did.

However, since the inclination of the vehicle body 12 changes variously as described above, even if the seat is stepped like a vehicle such as a ropeway according to the average value (arithmetic) of these various changing inclinations, Rail 1 for average slope
The rate of change in the inclination at each position was large, and there was also a drawback that the passengers' riding comfort deteriorates. The present invention proposes a towed suspension vehicle that does not impair the passenger's riding comfort even if the inclination at each position of the rail changes, and solves the above-mentioned conventional problems.

[0005]

Therefore, according to the present invention, a vehicle main body suspended from a rail is driven by a rope that is wound around a plurality of fixed receiving wheels and travels via a gripping machine. In the towed suspension type vehicle, the vehicle body is swingably connected to a traveling device of the towed suspension type vehicle, which serves as means for solving the problem.

[0006]

[Function] Since the vehicle body is suspended by a traveling device of a vehicle traveling along a rail so as to be swingable by a pin or the like, even if the traveling device is inclined along the railway, the vehicle body is always horizontal due to its own weight. Hold the state.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the embodiments of the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a towed suspension vehicle which is an embodiment of the present invention. As in FIG. Is a rigging machine,
12 is a vehicle body, 13 is a grip line part, 15 is a traveling device, 20
Is a vehicle. The rail 1 includes a horizontal linear rail X, a curved linear rail Y curved in a vertical plane, and an inclined linear rail Z,
A vehicle main body 12 is swingably attached to a traveling device 15 of a vehicle 20 traveling along the rail 1 via a pin 21. In the figure, 5 is a fixed receiving ring. Therefore, the posture of the vehicle body 12 of the vehicle 20 traveling on each of the inclined linear rail Z and the horizontal linear rail X is always kept horizontal as shown in FIG.

[0008]

As described in detail above, in the towed suspension type vehicle of the present invention, the vehicle body is suspended by the traveling device of the vehicle traveling along the rail so that the vehicle can swing freely. Regardless of the inclination, the body of the vehicle always maintains a horizontal posture, and passenger comfort does not deteriorate.
