Abstract

A track system for a passenger-accommodating vehicle as a part of a rollercoaster comprising tracks which form an acceleration stretch, a rollover stretch consisting of several sections in which the vehicle is rotated around its lateral axis, two helical stretches in which the vehicle is rotated around its longitudinal axis, and a coasting stretch. The individual sections of the rollover stretches and the two helical stretches are arranged such that the form of the digit "Eight" results in a vertical projection of the track system.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Gleisführung für ein Fahrgäste aufnehmendes Fahrzeug eines Hochfahrgeschäftes der im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Gattung.The invention relates to a track guide for a passenger-receiving vehicle of a high-rise store of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1.

Aus der DE-AS2504011 ist ein als « Corkscrew bezeichnetes Hochfahrgeschäft bekannt, bei dem die Gefällstrecke, auf der sich die Fahrzeuge durch ihr Eigengewicht nach unten bewegen, als Wendel mit einem bestimmten Radius zur Bahnlängsachse und mit definiertem Steigungswinkel ausgebildet ist. Dadurch führen die Fahrzeuge zusätzlich zu der Vorwärtsbewegung noch eine Bewegung aus, die bei Flugzeugen im Kunstflugprogramm als « Rolle bezeichnet wird.From DE-AS2504011 a so-called “corkscrew” is known, in which the downhill section, on which the vehicles move downwards due to their own weight, is designed as a spiral with a certain radius to the longitudinal axis of the web and with a defined pitch angle. As a result, in addition to the forward movement, the vehicles perform a movement that is referred to as «role in aircraft in the aerobatic program.

Weiterhin geht aus der DE-OS 3 117 314 eine Roll- oder Rutschbahn, insbesondere zum Abfahren mit ungelenkten Fahrzeugen, hervor, bei deren Gleisführung die Krümmungsradien entsprechend eine Klothoide geändert werden. Durch diese auch im Straßen- und Eisenbahnbau bereits bekannte Maßnahme soll gewährleistet werden, daß sich die Fahrzeuge auf einer theoretisch richtigen, räumlichen Fahrlinie querkraftfrei bewegen.Furthermore, from DE-OS 3 117 314 a roller or slide, in particular for driving off with unguided vehicles, emerges, the curvature radii of which are changed accordingly when the track is guided. This measure, which is also known in road and railway construction, is intended to ensure that the vehicles move on a theoretically correct, spatial driving line without lateral force.

In dem Prospektblatt « Darda-Drom für Darda-Autos » wird eine Fahrbahn für Spielzeugautos beschrieben, bei der zwischen einer Beschleunigungsstrecke und einer Auslaufstrecke zwei Überschlagbereiche derart angeordnet sind, daß die beiden Überschlagbereiche - abgesehen von der zwingend notwendigen seitlichen Versetzung - in einer vertikalen Ebene angeordnet sind. Die Achsen der beiden Überschlagbereiche liegen jedoch in einer Horizontalebene nebeneinander. Die beiden Überschlagbereiche sind durch eine horizontale Fahrstrecke miteinander verbunden.In the brochure "Darda-Drom for Darda cars" a roadway for toy cars is described, in which two rollover areas are arranged between an acceleration section and a runout section in such a way that the two rollover areas - apart from the mandatory lateral displacement - in a vertical plane are arranged. However, the axes of the two rollover areas lie side by side in a horizontal plane. The two rollover areas are connected by a horizontal route.

Eine Gleisführung für ein Fahrgäste aufnehmendes Fahrzeug eines Hochfahrgeschäftes der angegebenen Gattung geht schließlich aus der DE-PS 3 001 450 hervor und weist Schienen auf, die eine Beschleunigungsstrecke, bspw. eine geradlinige Gefällstrecke oder eine Art Katapult, eine aus mehreren Bereichen bestehende Überschlag-Strecke, in der das Fahrzeug um seine Querachse gedreht wird, zwei Wendel-Bereiche, in denen das Fahrzeug um seine Längsachse gedreht wird, und eine Auslaufstrecke bilden. Diese Gleisführung kombiniert also eine Wendel mit einem Überschlag-Bereich, so daß ein auch als « Looping » bezeichneter Bahntyp entsteht.A track guide for a passenger vehicle of a high-rise shop of the type specified finally emerges from DE-PS 3 001 450 and has rails which have an acceleration section, for example a straight downhill section or a type of catapult, a rollover section consisting of several areas , in which the vehicle is rotated about its transverse axis, two helical areas in which the vehicle is rotated about its longitudinal axis, and form an outlet section. This track layout thus combines a helix with a rollover area, so that a type of track also referred to as “looping” is created.

Nachteilig ist jedoch bei einer solchen Gleisführung, daß wegen der komplizierten Bahnform die vorbeigehenden Zuschauer die Fahrzeuge nicht auf der gesamten Strecke verfolgen können, also diese Zuschauer nicht in gewünschtem Maße zu einer Fahrt angeregt werden.However, it is disadvantageous in such a track arrangement that, because of the complicated shape of the track, the spectators passing by cannot be able to follow the vehicles over the entire route, ie these spectators are not stimulated to take the desired route.

Außerdem nutzt sich die Attraktion eines solchen Hochfahrgeschäftes relativ rasch ab, d. h., es wird ständig angestrebt, durch neue, immer kompliziertere Bahnformen Besucher anzulocken.In addition, the attraction of such a ride up wears out relatively quickly, i. that is, it is constantly striving to attract visitors through new, increasingly complex forms of railway.

Der Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Gleisführung für ein Fahrgäste aufnehmendes Fahrzeug eines Hochfahrgeschäftes der angegebenen Gattung zu schaffen, die einerseits die Beobachtung des gesamten, interessierenden Bahn-Teils durch Zuschauer und andererseits ein neues Fahrgefühl ermöglicht.The invention is therefore based on the object of providing a track guide for a passenger-receiving vehicle of a high-rise store of the type specified, which on the one hand enables the entire, interesting part of the train to be observed by spectators and on the other hand enables a new driving experience.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst.This object is achieved by the features specified in the characterizing part of claim 1.

Zweckmäßige Ausführungsformen werden durch die Merkmale der Unteransprüche definiert.Appropriate embodiments are defined by the features of the subclaims.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile beruhen darauf, daß die Bahnkurve in der vertikalen Gleisführung die Form einer liegenden oder einer stehenden Acht ergibt, wodurch neue Fahreffekte entstehen, die selbst im Vergleich mit einem Mehrfach-Looping zu einem größeren Fahrvergnügen führen.The advantages achieved with the invention are based on the fact that the track curve in the vertical track layout results in the shape of a lying or a standing figure of eight, which creates new driving effects which, even in comparison with multiple looping, lead to greater driving pleasure.

Um den problemlosen Übergang von den Überschlagstrecken zu den Wendel-Bereichen zu ermöglichen, verringert sich der Radius der Wendel-Bereiche allmählich, und zwar entsprechend einer ebenen Spiralkurve, die als « Klothoide bezeichnet wird.In order to allow a smooth transition of the flashover distances to the helical regions, the radius of the spiral portions gradually decreases, corresponding to a flat spiral curve which is referred to as "K l othoide.

Ein solches Hochfahrgeschäft kann problemlos so ausgelegt werden, daß die an dem Geschäft vorbeigehenden Besucher eines Rummelplatzes die Fahrzeuge und damit die Reaktionen der Fahrgäste sowohl in den Überschlagstrecken als auch in den beiden Wendel-Bereichen genau verfolgen können und deshalb zu einem Besuch dieses Fahrgeschäftes angeregt werden.Such a ride up can easily be designed in such a way that visitors to a fairground passing the store can closely follow the vehicles and thus the reactions of the passengers both in the rollover routes and in the two spiral areas and are therefore encouraged to visit this ride .

Bei der Gleisführung mit den beiden in horizontaler Richtung nebeneinander angeordneten Überschlag-Bereichen beträgt die erforderliche Höchstgeschwindigkeit etwa 90 km/h, was sich mit einer höchsten Stelle der Beschleunigungsstrecke von etwa 33 m erreichen läßt. Diese Ausführungsform kann problemlos aus einzelnen, miteinander verbindbaren Schienenelementen realisiert werden, so daß sie als mobiles Hochfahrgeschäft besonders für Rummelplätze geeignet ist.In the case of track guidance with the two rollover areas arranged side by side in the horizontal direction, the required maximum speed is approximately 90 km / h, which can be achieved with a highest point of the acceleration section of approximately 33 m. This embodiment can be easily implemented from individual, interconnectable rail elements, so that it is particularly suitable as a mobile ride-up business for fairgrounds.

Bei der Gleisführung mit den senkrecht übereinander angeordneten Überschlagsstrecken muß die höchste Stelle der Beschleunigungsstrecke eine Höhe von etwa 50 m über dem Erdboden haben, um die für das Durchfahren des Überschlag-Bereiches erforderliche Höchstgeschwindigkeit von etwa 110 km/h zu erzielen. Diese Ausführungsform wird deshalb wohl in aller Regel nur als stationäres Hochfahrgeschäft für Vergnügungsparks in Frage kommen.In the case of track guidance with the rollover sections arranged vertically one above the other, the highest point of the acceleration section must have a height of approximately 50 m above the ground in order to achieve the maximum speed of approximately 110 km / h required for passing through the rollover area. As a rule, this embodiment will therefore only come into question as a stationary fairground ride for amusement parks.

Die Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen unter Bezugnahme auf die beiliegenden, schematischen Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Es zeigen

Die in Fig. 1 dargestellte, allgemein durch das Bezugszeichen 10 angedeutete Gleisführung für die Fahrgäste aufnehmenden Fahrzeuge eines Hochfahrgeschäftes beginnt an einer höchsten Stelle 12 einer Beschleunigungsstrecke 14, die sich etwa 33 m über dem Erdboden befindet. Zu dieser höchsten Stelle 12 können die Fahrzeuge bspw. über eine übliche Aufzug-Strecke gebracht werden. Es ist auch möglich, für den Transport zur höchsten Stelle 12 zumindest teilweise die kinetische Energie der Fahrzeuge auszunutzen, die sie beim Verlassen der Gleisführung 10 noch besitzen. Schließlich besteht noch die Möglichkeit, daß die Fahrzeuge die Gleisführung 10 in umgekehrter Richtung nochmals durchfahren, um durch eine in der Beschleunigungsstrecke 14 angeordnete Aufzug-Strecke unterstützt, wieder zur höchsten Stelle 12 zu gelangen.1, generally indicated by the reference numeral 10, for the passenger-receiving vehicles of a high-rise store begins at a highest point 12 of an acceleration section 14, which is located approximately 33 m above the ground. The vehicles can be brought to this highest point 12, for example, via a conventional elevator route. It is also possible to use, at least in part, the kinetic energy of the vehicles which they still have when leaving the track guide 10 for the transport to the highest point 12. Finally, there is also the possibility that the vehicles again travel through the track guide 10 in the opposite direction, in order to be supported by an elevator route arranged in the acceleration route 14 to get back to the highest point 12.

Die die Gleisführung 10 bildenden Schienen, bspw. eine Einzelschiene oder eine Doppelschiene, werden durch die üblichen Stahlstützen (nicht dargestellt) getragen, die je nach Bedarf - ebenso wie die Schienen - demontierbar ausgebildet sind.The rails forming the track guide 10, for example a single rail or a double rail, are supported by the usual steel supports (not shown) which, like the rails, can be dismantled as required.

An der höchsten Stelle 12 beginnt die Beschleunigungsstrecke 14, auf der die Schienen auf einer geraden Linie, also ohne jede Verwindung, bis zum Punkt 16 nach unten verlaufen. Auf dieser Beschleunigungsstrecke 14 bewegen sich also die Fahrzeuge unter ihrem Eigengewicht mit ständig größer werdender Geschwindigkeit nach unten.The acceleration section 14 begins at the highest point 12, on which the rails run down to point 16 in a straight line, ie without any twisting. On this acceleration path 14, the vehicles move downward under their own weight at a constantly increasing speed.

Am Punkt 16 geht die Beschleunigungsstrecke 14 in einen ersten Überschlag-Bereich 18 über, der etwa Halbkreisform hat.At point 16, the acceleration section 14 merges into a first rollover area 18, which has an approximately semicircular shape.

An der tiefsten Stelle 20 des ersten Überschlag-Bereiches 18 haben die Fahrzeuge etwa eine Geschwindigkeit von 90 km/h und fahren dann an der Innenseite des Überschlag-Bereiches 18 nach oben, so daß am höchsten Punkt 22 des ersten Überschlag-Bereiches 18 die Köpfe der Fahrgäste nach unten gerichtet sind.At the lowest point 20 of the first rollover area 18, the vehicles have a speed of approximately 90 km / h and then drive upwards on the inside of the rollover area 18, so that the heads are at the highest point 22 of the first rollover area 18 the passengers are facing downwards.

Am höchsten Punkt 22 des ersten Überschlag-Bereiches 18 beginnt ein als Gefällstrecke ausgeführter erster Wendel-Bereich. In diesem Wendel-Bereich, der sich etwa vom höchsten Punkt 22 des ersten Überschlag-Bereiches 18 bis zu einer tiefsten Stelle 34 erstreckt, werden die Fahrzeug um 180° um ihre Längsachse gedreht, d. h., an der tiefsten Stelle 34 sind die Köpfe der Fahrgäste wieder nach oben gerichtet.At the highest point 22 of the first rollover area 18, a first spiral area designed as a slope begins. In this helical area, which extends approximately from the highest point 22 of the first rollover area 18 to a deepest point 34, the vehicles are rotated through 180 ° about their longitudinal axis, i. that is, at the lowest point 34, the heads of the passengers are directed upwards again.

Der Wendel-Bereich weist einen ersten Wendelabschnitt 24 auf, der etwa am höchsten Punkt 22 des ersten Überschlag-Bereiches 18 beginnt und an der Stelle 26 endet. Der Radius des ersten Wendelabschnittes 24 wird durch eine Klothoide definiert, also eine ebene Kurve, deren Krümmungsradius r in jedem Punkt ihrer vom Nullpunkt des Koordinatensystems aus gemessenen Bogenlänge s umgekehrt proportional ist. Eine Klothoide läßt sich also durch folgende Gleichung definieren :The helical area has a first helical section 24, which begins approximately at the highest point 22 of the first rollover area 18 and ends at point 26. The radius of the first spiral section 24 is defined by a clothoid, that is to say a flat curve, the radius of curvature r of which is inversely proportional at each point of its arc length s measured from the zero point of the coordinate system. A clothoid can be defined using the following equation:

Figure imgb0001
Figure imgb0001

Im ersten Wendelabschnitt 24 kann bspw. A = 12 sein.In the first coil section 24, for example, A = 12.

An das bei 26 angedeutete Ende des ersten Wendelabschnittes 24 schließt sich eine kurze, in einer vertikalen Ebene liegende geradlinige Strecke 28 mit Gefälle an, die bei 30 in einen zweiten Wendelabschnitt 32 übergeht. Dieser Wendelabschnitt 32 wird ebenfalls durch eine Klothoide mit A = 12 definiert.At the end of the first helical section 24 indicated at 26 there is a short straight line 28 with a gradient lying in a vertical plane, which at 30 merges into a second helical section 32. This spiral section 32 is also defined by a clothoid with A = 12.

An der tiefsten Stelle 34 des zweiten Wendelabschnittes 32 beginnt ein zweiter Überschlag-Bereich 36, an dessen höchsten Punkt 38 die Köpfe der Fahrgäste wieder nach unten gerichtet sind.At the lowest point 34 of the second helical section 32, a second rollover area 36 begins, at the highest point 38 of which the heads of the passengers are directed downwards again.

Etwa an seinem höchsten Punkt 38 geht der zweite Überschlag-Bereich 36 in einen ersten Wendelabschnitt 40 über, der bei 42 endet und ebenfalls durch eine Klothoide mit A = 12 definiert wird. An den ersten Wendelabschnitt 40 schließt sich eine in einer vertikalen Ebene liegende geradlinige Strecke 44 mit Gefälle mit dem Beginn 42 und dem Ende 46 an. Dieser Strecke 44 folgt ein zweiter Wendelabschnitt 48, der ebenfalls durch eine Klothoide mit A = 12 definiert wird. An der tiefsten Stelle des zweiten Wendelabschnittes 48, der in der Seitenansicht der tiefsten Stelle 20 entspricht, schließt sich eine Auslaufstrecke 50 an.Approximately at its highest point 38, the second rollover area 36 merges into a first spiral section 40, which ends at 42 and is also defined by a clothoid with A = 12. The first spiral section 40 is adjoined by a straight line section 44 with a gradient at the beginning 42 and the end 46 lying in a vertical plane. This section 44 is followed by a second spiral section 48, which is also defined by a clothoid with A = 12 . At the deepest point of the second spiral section 48, which corresponds to the deepest point 20 in the side view, there is an outlet section 50.

Die beiden Wendel-Bereiche 24, 28, 32 und 40, 44, 48, in denen die Fahrzeuge jeweils um 180° um ihre Längsachse gedreht werden, bestehen also aus jeweils zwei Wendelabschnitten 24, 32 bzw. 40, 48, in denen die Fahrzeuge um 90° um ihre Längsachse gedreht werden, und einer geradlinigen Strecke 28 bzw. 44 mit Gefälle, in denen die Schienen in einer im rechten Winkel zum Erdboden angeordneten Ebene liegen. Um auch in diesem Bereich noch ausreichende Andruckkräfte für die Fahrzeuge und die Fahrgäste zu erzeugen, haben die geradlinigen Strecken 28, 44 eine geringfügige horizontale Krümmung, wie man aus der Draufsicht nach Fig. 2 erkennt, so daß die Fahrzeuge und damit auch die Fahrgäste durch diese Abweichung von der geradlinigen Bewegung durch ihre Trägheitskräfte gegen die Schienen bzw. gegen die Sitze gedrückt werden. Es besteht also in diesem Bereich keine Gefahr, daß die Fahrzeuge und die Fahrgäste seitlich nach unten kippen können.The two coil areas 24, 28, 32 and 40, 44, 48, in which the vehicles are each rotated through 180 ° about their longitudinal axis, therefore consist of two coil sections 24, 32 and 40, 48, in which the vehicles be rotated by 90 ° about its longitudinal axis, and a straight line 28 or 44 with a slope, in which the rails lie in a plane arranged at right angles to the ground. In order to generate sufficient pressure forces for the vehicles and the passengers in this area as well, the straight lines 28, 44 have a slight horizontal curvature, as can be seen from the plan view according to FIG. 2, so that the vehicles and therefore also the passengers this deviation from the linear movement is pressed by the inertial forces against the rails or against the seats. There is therefore no danger in this area that the vehicles and the passengers can tip down sideways.

Bei der Ausführungform nach den Fig. 1 und 2 sind die beiden Überschlag-Bereiche 18, 36 in horizontaler Richtung nebeneinander angeordnet, so daß sich die Form einer senkrechten liegenden Acht ergibt. Die höchste Stelle 12 der Beschleunigungsstrecke 14 liegt etwa 33 m und die beiden höchsten Punkte 22, 38 der Überschlag-Bereiche 18, 36 etwa 21 m über den tiefsten Stellen 20, 34.In the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2, the two rollover areas 18, 36 are arranged next to one another in the horizontal direction, so that the shape of a vertical figure eight results. The highest point 12 of the acceleration section 14 is approximately 33 m and the two highest points 22, 38 of the rollover areas 18, 36 are approximately 21 m above the lowest points 20, 34.

Als Alternative hierzu ist es auch möglich, die beiden Überschlag-Bereiche senkrecht übereinander anzuordnen, wodurch sich eine stehende Acht ergibt, wie sie in den Fig. 3 und 4 dargestellt ist.As an alternative to this, it is also possible to arrange the two rollover regions vertically one above the other, as a result of which there is a standing one Eight results as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.

Bei dieser, allgemein durch das Bezugszeichen 60 angedeuteten Gleisführung verlaufen die Schienen, ausgehend von einer nicht dargestellten, höchsten Stelle der Beschleunigungsstrecke, die etwa ein Höhe von 50 m hat, auf einer gekrümmten Gefällstrecke 62 zu einem tiefsten Punkt 64, an dem die Fahrzeuge eine Geschwindigkeit von etwa 100 km/h erreichen.In this track guide, generally indicated by reference number 60, the rails, starting from a not shown, highest point on the acceleration path, which is approximately 50 m high, run on a curved gradient 62 to a lowest point 64, at which the vehicles one Reach speed of about 100 km / h.

Von diesem tiefsten Punkt 64 aus verlaufen die in üblicher Weise auf Stahlstützen (nicht dargestellt) gelagerten Schienen auf einem Kreisbogenstück 66 nach oben zu einer Stelle 68, an der ein erster Wendelabschnitt 70 beginnt. Der Wendelabschnitt 70 wird durch eine Klothoide mit A = 15 definiert. An den ersten Wendelabschnitt 70 schließt sich eine in einer vertikalen Ebene liegende geradlinige Strecke 74 mit dem Beginn 72 und dem Ende 76 an, der ein zweiter Wendelabschnitt 78 folgt. Dieser Wendelabschnitt 78 wird durch eine Klothoide mit A = 7 definiert und endet an einer Stelle 80, wo der zweite Wendelabschnitt 78 in einen Überschlag-Bereich 82 übergeht. An der höchsten Stelle des Überschlag-Bereiches 82 sind also die Köpfe der Fahrgäste nach unten gerichtet. Der Überschlag-Bereich 82 endet an einer Stelle 84, wo wieder ein erster Wendelabschnitt 86 beginnt, der durch eine Klothoide mit A = 7 definiert wird. An den ersten Wendelabschnitt 86 schließt sich eine in einer vertikalen Ebene liegende geradlinige Strecke 90 mit Gefälle mit dem Beginn 88 und dem Ende 92 an, der wiederum ein zweiter Wendelabschnitt 94 folgt. Der zweite Wendelabschnitt 94 wird durch eine Klothoide mit A = 15 definiert. Das Ende des Wendelabschnittes 94 ist bei 96 angedeutet.From this lowest point 64, the rails, which are mounted on steel supports (not shown) in the usual way, run upwards on a circular arc piece 66 to a point 68 at which a first spiral section 70 begins. The helical section 70 is defined by a clothoid with A = 15. The first spiral section 70 is followed by a straight line 74 lying in a vertical plane with the start 72 and the end 76, which is followed by a second spiral section 78. This spiral section 78 is defined by a clothoid with A = 7 and ends at a point 80 where the second spiral section 78 merges into a rollover area 82. At the highest point of the rollover area 82, the heads of the passengers are directed downward. The rollover area 82 ends at a point 84, where a first spiral section 86 begins again, which is defined by a clothoid with A = 7. The first spiral section 86 is followed by a straight line 90 lying in a vertical plane with a slope with the start 88 and the end 92, which in turn is followed by a second spiral section 94. The second spiral section 94 is defined by a clothoid with A = 15. The end of the spiral section 94 is indicated at 96.

Anschließend folgt ein weiteres Kreisbogenstück 98, das die unterste Stelle 100 durchläuft und dann in die Auslaufstrecke 102 übergeht, von dem aus die Fahrzeuge wieder zur höchsten Stelle der Beschleunigungsstrecke zurückgebracht werden.This is followed by a further circular arc piece 98, which passes through the lowest point 100 and then passes into the run-out section 102, from which the vehicles are brought back to the highest point of the acceleration section.

In der Seitenansicht hat also die Gleisführung 60 nach den Fig. 3 und 4 die Form einer senkrechten Acht bei der auf einem Kreis mit relativ großem Durchmesser (bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform würde der « Kreuzungspunkt etwa 32 m über den tiefsten Punkt 64 liegen) ein kleiner Kreis mit einem Radius von etwa 6 m angeordnet ist. Die höchste Stelle der Gleisführung 60 würde also etwa 45 m über dem tiefsten Punkt 64 liegen.In the side view, the track guide 60 according to FIGS. 3 and 4 has the shape of a vertical figure eight, with a small figure on a circle with a relatively large diameter (in the embodiment shown, the “crossing point would be approximately 32 m above the deepest point 64) Circle with a radius of about 6 m is arranged. The highest point of the track guide 60 would therefore be about 45 m above the lowest point 64.

Wie man aus der Draufsicht nach Fig. 4 erkennt, haben die beiden in der vertikalen liegenden geradlinigen Strecken 74 und 90 in horizontaler Richtung eine geringfügige Krümmung, wodurch ähnlich wie bei der Ausführungsform nach den Fig. 1 und 2 Andrückkräfte erzeugt werden, die einerseits die Fahrzeuge auf den Schienen und andererseits die Fahrgäste auf den Sitzen der Fahrzeuge halten.As can be seen from the plan view according to FIG. 4, the two straight lines 74 and 90 lying in the vertical have a slight curvature in the horizontal direction, which, similarly to the embodiment according to FIGS Keep vehicles on the rails and on the other hand the passengers in the seats of the vehicles.
