Track for rolling vehicle and methods of fabricating and assembling the track
A track for a roller coaster is provided. The track includes a plurality of layers that are each constructed from a plurality of layer segments prefabricated with an automated precision cutting device.
Connection device and system for suspending a monorail beam from a roof bolt
A connection device for suspending a monorail beam includes a top anchor integrated with or attachable to a roof bolt and a clamping device for connection to the monorail beam. The clamping device has a housing attachable to the monorail beam. The housing includes a central recess with an opening configured such that the top anchor is movable into and out of the central recess along a first axis through the opening. The clamping device has a plurality of locking members radially movable into and out of the central recess with respect to the first axis between an inner locking position in which the locking members prevent the top anchor from moving out of the central recess, and an outer open position in which the top anchor is free to move past the locking members, each respective locking member being provided in a respective radial guide recess of the housing.
