DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] A mobile device P according to the invention for moving a recording apparatus, not shown in detail, for example a corresponding recording camera, has a base 1 according to FIG. 1, which is composed of two plates 2.1 and 2.2 as shown in FIG. 3 from below. For this purpose, the two plates 2.1 and 2.2 are joined together along an impact line 3 and connected with fasteners 4.

[0040] Plates 2.1 and 2.2 are essentially trapezoidal in shape, with a short base side 5 opposite an imaginary longer base side which is not linear but has various gradations. An access ramp 6 (see FIG. 1) is formed by one gradation and a partial access ramp 7 by another gradation. These access ramps 6 and 7 serve, as will be described later, to facilitate the access of the carrier vehicle for the receiving equipment to the base 1. The middle legs of the two trapezoids together form the joint line 3, the outer end of each trapezoid is formed by an outer leg 8. To save weight, recesses 9 are formed in plates 2.1 and 2.2.

[0041] Frame strips 10, 11 and 12 are attached to plates 2.1 and 2.2 along the outer legs 8, the base sides 5 and approximately parallel to joint line 3. In addition to weight-saving recesses, these strips also have recesses 13 for better handling of base 1 and plates 2.1 and 2.2. Furthermore, the frame strips 11 on the base sides 5 serve as stops for wheels 47.1 and 47.2 of a carrier vehicle T1 and T2 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, which are guided between the frame strips 12 and 10 to the base sides 5.

[0042] Approximately at the level of the joint line 3, a gallow 14 protrudes, to which a seat 15 for an operator for the recording equipment not shown in more detail is assigned. This gallow 14 is removably inserted into a housing 16 and can be removed from the housing 16 and inserted into another seat 17 for the purpose of eccentric positioning of the operator.

[0043] Brakes 18.1 and 18.2 are also provided to the left and right of seat 15 and can be operated by means of a corresponding lever 19.1 and 19.2. In a simple design example, a plunger 20 is lowered onto a rail 21 so that the mobile device P can no longer move on a rail line S.

[0044] A clamping device K is provided between the opposite frame strips 12.1 and 12.2. This clamping device K is channel-shaped, whereby the two partial access ramps 7 represent an entrance to this clamping device K. On the edge side, two wall strips 22.1 and 22.2 run approximately parallel to each other from the two partial access ramps 7 to the rear in the direction of the frame strips 11. On these wall strips 22.1 and 22.2 a T-piece 23 rests in its front area with its crossbeam at the edge and can be moved and fixed along the two upper edges 24.1 and 24.2 of the wall strips 22.1 and 22.2.

[0045] As can be seen in particular in FIG. 2, the T-piece 23 has an indentation 25 in the edge of its crossbar, which has a smaller radius in the middle than on the outside. This T-piece 23 works together with a trough strip 26, which also has an indentation 27 towards the indentation 25.

[0046] The T-piece 23 can, if required, be assigned a further clamping strip 28 instead of the trough strip 26, which in turn has a indentation 29 with a much larger radius than the indentation 27.

[0047] As shown in FIG. 3, it can also be seen that two guides 30.1 and 30.2 for a roller slide 31 are provided below the housing 16 and partly below the clamping device K. Along these guides 30.1 and 30.2 the roller slide 31 can be moved in the direction of the double arrow y and thus transversely to the direction of travel x of the entire mobile device P. Rotating around a central axis 32, a holding strip 33 is arranged on the roller slide 31, which holds a pair of rollers 34.1 and 34.2, which diverge at an angle, on both sides. The roller pairs 34.1 and 34.2 are also rotatably mounted on the holding strip 33. Their main purpose is to compensate for the distances between the rails of the rail line S, especially in curves.

[0048] In the two outer corners of the plates 2.1 and 2.2 there is one roller guide 35.1 and 35.2 each, which are of the same design. Each of the roller guides 35.1 and 35.2 has four pairs of rollers 34.3 to 34.6, which, like the roller pairs 34.1 and 34.2, have a holding strip not shown in detail and are arranged in a housing 36 so as to be movable on all sides virtually in one plane. The housing 36 in turn is mounted rotatably on a support arm 37.

[0049] In addition to accommodating the roller pairs 34 and their cover, the housing 36 also has an LED light strip 38, the colour of which indicates certain functions of the mobile device P. For example, red means that the mobile device P has started moving and the environment must be treated with care, the opposite is true for green. For example, blue indicates that the recording device is running, and so on.

[0050] In the version just described, the mobile unit P is also suitable for manual use, whereby appropriate operators can move the mobile unit P along the track S.

[0051] In an improved version, two drives 39.1 and 39.2 are additionally provided, hinged to the respective housing 36. In particular in FIG. 3, two frictionally engaged rollers 40.1 and 40.2 are provided for the drive in each case, which receive between them a rail 41 of the rail line S. In these rollers 40.1 and 40.2 corresponding electric drives are integrated, whose left and right rotation is controlled by a joystick or by foot pedals 42.1 or 42.2 (see FIG. 2), as desired. The complete control of the drives 39.1 and 39.2 or the light strips, but also of corresponding sensors, not described in detail, which monitor the movement of the mobile device P, is located in the housing 16.

[0052] Furthermore, on base 1, and here in particular on the frame strips 10, 11 or 12, vials are provided by which the horizontal position of base 1 can be monitored. The height of the rail track S is changed, for which purpose corresponding height-adjustable feet 43 are provided at the ends of sleepers 44.

[0053] The mode of operation of the present invention is as follows and is described in more detail in particular on the basis of FIGS. 4 and 5:

[0054] Both the rail track S and the mobile device P can be assembled and disassembled in a modular manner so that they can be handled and transported to a certain extent despite a relatively high weight, which also requires the stability of the mobile device P.

[0055] If the mobile unit P is to be used at a desired location, the rail track S is set up first. Here it is provided that the rails 41 can be inserted into one another in the form of sleeves at their ends and adjacent sleepers 44.1 and 44.2 are connected to one another by means of a quick-release clamping device 45.

[0056] A housing 36 containing the four pairs of rollers 34.3 to 34.6 is screwed to each support arm 37. Before or after this, the drives 39.1 and 39.2 can be connected to the housing 36. Then the two plates 2.1 and 2.2 are joined together to form base 1 and the corresponding screwing on of the elements of the clamping device K as well as the attachment of the housing 16 with the integral controls and the attachment of the gallows 14 with the seat 15. The sequence of the individual work steps can of course vary. Now the mobile device is ready for operation and can be placed on the rail track S, whereby the roller pairs 34.1 to 34.6 overlap the rails 41 of the rail track S.

[0057] If a first carrier vehicle T1, as shown in FIG. 4, with a supporting column 46.1 of smaller diameter, is now pushed onto the movable device P, only two front wheels 47.1 and 47.2 need to be raised slightly so that they drive onto ramps 6. The indention 25 in the T-piece 23 is designed so that a large part of the circumference of the support column 46.1 rests on this indentation 25. On the other hand, the support column 46.1 is supported in the indentation 27 of the trough strip 26, whereby this trough strip 26 can be adjusted relative to the T-piece 23 so that the support column 46.1 is clamped.

[0058] A rear wheel 47.3 of the carrier vehicle T1 is also rolled onto the base 1 between the two wall strips 22.1 and 22.2, whereby the partial access ramps 7 are used for this.

[0059] If a different example of a carrier vehicle T2 is to be fixed on base 1 as shown in FIG. 5 with a carrier column 46.2 with a substantially larger diameter, the T-piece 23 is used in conjunction with clamping strip 28. As mentioned above, this clamping strip 28 has an indentation 29 with a larger diameter, so that this indentation 29 can also fit against a support column T2 with a larger diameter.
