Elongated track structure for monorail suspended transport systems

Abstract From the Canadian patent

To improve the stiffness and permit ready attachment of the track structure to holding brackets (20), the upper and lower track portions (2, 3) have mutually facing flanges (5 6) formed thereon, projecting, towards each other extending longitudinally of the track structure and, being positioned in vertical alignment at the same side of the web parallel, to the central plane of the web and spaced from said plane by the same distance. The sections may be made as a unitary extrusion (Figures 1 3), for example of aluminum or steel, with hollow or solid rail portions (Figures 1, 2, 3; Figure 3A) or may be made as rolled sheet-metal elements (Figure 2) in which the rail portions are separately …
